(BD, Buena Vista, Region ABC, UK)
This seems to be the year that Disney has chosen for shovelling out as many of its lesser animated features as possible. Among others, TREASURE PLANET, POCAHONTAS, THE RESCUERS and its sequel, THE ARISTOCATS and THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE have or will be appearing. Some of these titles I like very much (THE RESCUERS and THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE are a lot of fun, and TREASURE PLANET is an interesting misfire), and today another B-title, TARZAN, arrived through the letterbox. It's not a particularly good release - lossy audio, minimal extras, iffy compression (there's a tonne of blotchy noise in the darker areas), slightly reframed to 1.78:1 (from the 1.66:1 of previous releases), and a bizarre and persistent flicker as the image continually darkens and lightens - nor is it a title I'm massively fond of, but I'm a sucker for a Disney movie, and all that Glen Keane animation certainly looks nice in 1080p.
