1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid ANYTHING from MADACY in Canada, January 20, 2001

By	M. Larsen (BFE, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Africa Screams / Jack & the Beanstalk (DVD)

I was FORCED to give at least 1 star. I would have given a 0 or asked for one back...

I have three different versions of Africa Screams and this is by far the worst transfer I've ever seen. Goodtimes Home Video has Africa Screams on DVD (6.99 @ Wal-Mart) and looks as good as anything Universal has ever put out for A&C.

Sound and video on these DVD's are worse than the VCD I picked up on EBay for 5 bucks.

This is the third DVD I have from MADACY and they are ALL very poor quality. The video tapes would look much better. This is a waste of money at any price. Others companies (Goodtimes Home Video and Platinum) have the same movies. I suggest those.

1.0 out of 5 stars More Madacy trash..., December 7, 1999

By	Joseph Cossette (Fort Lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Africa Screams / Jack & the Beanstalk (DVD)

Madacy has done it again...taken what could have been decent DVD's and turned them into trash. The video transfer from film is very poor, but the worst is the audio. Madacy has a history of producing low-cost low-quality legacy DVD's, just look at other reviews of Madacy titles (check out Charlie Chaplin DVD's). This is a shame because younger folks who've never seen these classics may walk away with the wrong impression. If you really want these titles get this one, it looks cheaper than ASIN B00000IC8F (which has the same titles & release dates). But Caveat Emptor folks.
