Title: Muddy sound quality
Review: The original short cartoons by Nick Park are, of course, excellent. But the quality of this DVD does not do them justice. One of the main reasons people buy DVD's is for the excellent sound and picture quality. However, on this DVD, the sound is so muddy you can barely understand the dialogue. (The picture is fine.)Also, the Closed-captioning is hideous. I tried watching with the closed-captioning on, and the captions bore little resemblance to the dailogue. For example, early in "The Wrong Trousers", Wallace wants Gromit to make breakfast. He says, "I'd like a three-minute egg." The captioning reads, "I've got three minutes, eh?" After suffering through several such mangaled lines, my brain hurt so much I had to switch captioning off.The original cartoons are excellent. This version, this DVD, is terrible. Hopefully someday a good version will be released.
