Revisiting Indian In The Cupboard on DVD, I found myself loving this movie even more. Of course the DVD offers everything you would expect—wide screen picture, beautiful colors, additional information regarding the production of the movie, and an enlightening director’s commentary by Frank Oz—which after having listened to it, makes you appreciate the work involved in this production made on the cusp of the digital cinema revolution. The only disappointment was the lack of a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, yet the standard Dolby Surround offering (still recorded digitally of course) gave bright presence to Randy Edelman’s incredible score.
