Your review seems spot on. I mistakenly presumed it was an MPEG4 title because it looked so good. I wish Blu players identifed the codec like the Toshibas do. Being the owner of about 70 D-Theater tapes, I know MPEG2 can look fabulous but my faith in Blu MPEG2 was begining to wane....key word was.
Whatever tiny video defects you can track down in this disc, you'd likely never notice if you were paying attention to the movie. You really have to search for defects with this one. Enjoy the movie instead.....
I have been looking for my first purchase for my Blu-Ray player, and I will pass on this. With all of the quality films in this studios fold, Haunted Mansion is not one I would waist my money purchasing.
