I cannot believe that I'm commenting on this Blu-ray, but it is the first to include 3-D footage.
I was not only never a tween (or is it 'tween) girl, but I was never a tween.
The term wouldn't be invented for another forty years.
Had I been able to be a tween, I'm certain that I still would have been watching the Universal horror classics on TV, and not Miley's grandmother.
While I didn't actually view the entire 82 minutes of Hannah and Miley, I did sample enough to come away with the information that we need.
Shot in HDCAM, there is no grain.
There are no "age related artifacts."
The average age of those on screen is probably around 12.
At that age I would have found Universal's rendition of The Wolfman, The Mummy, Dracula and Frankenstein a bit less "manufactured" than Hannah & Miley, although I'm not certain which of the five would have made it to the top of the castle electrodes first. Probably Hannah. Her parents must feed her well to keep her energy level high.
This is a beautifully produced -- it is Disney, after all -- show, photographed with style to show off the 3-D, which works in the red / blue mode, while cutting color virtually to nothing, which is to be expected.
There are two versions of the film included -- 2-D and 3-D, with the musical numbers in 3-D, which does add a bit of fun.
High quality. High energy. And good, clean fun.
Any 11-year old girl who isn't in the projection club in school would be thrilled to own this DVD.
If one needs to view it with their tween, it is not a painful experience.
On a strictly tech note, this is an extremely important release as it proves that 3-D, especially for the early films in b & w, is viable for Blu-ray.
Recommended...
for tween girls.
