DVD Reviews of Snoopy, Come Home
DVD Review: A great film, but beware of the sad moments.......
Summary: 4 Stars
Yeah....me too......I gotta agree with one of the other reviewers. I, too, turn into a whimpering mess when I'm watching certain scenes of this film. I'm 31 as of this writing, and "Lila's Theme (Do You Remember Me?)" still gets me.
Snoopy is the true lead of this movie, and he pulls it off nicely--from the long "hiking" footage, to the classic scene in the library with "The Bunnies". It gets me laughing every time.
But, viewer beware. This film just might be a bit too heavy for a little kid. They really went for the hanky-factor here, and you'd better have a box of them by your side.
While this movie does indeed have its downer moments, on the whole it is just a gem. The Sherman Brothers soundtrack has stuck with me all of these years since I was a wee little kid sitting on the floor in front of the TV with the VHS playing over and over. Hunt down the Soundtrack LP (Columbia Masterworks) to hear the music in beautiful W-I-D-E stereo.
Which brings us to some technical mumbo-jumbo. The DVD soundtrack leaves a little to be desired. OK....there really isn't that much that warrants a 5.0 mix, but they should have just given us the original mono track instead of the newly-yet-poorly-produced (IMHO) Stereo mix that we are presented with. The new stereo track is indeed stereo, but it consisted of a front-up-center voice/singing/dialog track with the music track "chorused" into a stereo effect. It's not bad and far from unlistenable, but when you actually get the chance to hear the original soundtrack LP, you only begin to wish that CBS/Paramount put a little more effort into this and hunted down some of the stereo music.
We don't even get a trailer! This is truly a bare bones disc.
The picture clarity is there, though. As far as colors go, this DVD looks SHARP. Some of the picture is so clear that at times you can actually see some shadowing of the actual animation cells against the background artwork. It looks vivid. They either used a beautiful condition print, or they did some GREAT restoration. Either way, it looks VERY good.
However, with the compliment comes the complaint. While I have not confirmed it yet as of this writing with my packed-away VHS dub, I seem to recall that the original VHS issue was Full Frame, and there are scenes on this DVD which I could swear are missing some picture at the top and bottom. The credit sequences are presented in side-masked Full-Frame, yet the film goes "widescreen" between the beginning and the end.
This movie would get an instant "5" rating, but the sound and the uncalled-for Letterboxing drop it down a notch.
Still.....this is probably all we're ever gonna get on DVD, so buy it anyway. The movie is a must-own....even with the technical blahs.
