Title: There really needs to be a better DVD transfer than this one
Review: I'm a huge fan of this old Rankin Bass production. It takes a lot of shortcuts from the book and has a very different tone in places, but the designs are good and I even have a lot of fondness for the music, goofy as it can be.However, this DVD transfer is really poor. As others have said, it looks like it was just straight-up copied over from a rough VHS. There are skips and repeats, artifacts everywhere so that it looks like the lowest-res YouTube imaginable, and overall is too dark. It feels like you're watching a bootleg. I'm not entirely convinced it's a legitimate production, honestly, it's so sketchy.
Is the review positive or negative?
