The Audio: Rating the Sound
Alas, Warner continues to give Blu-ray short thrift when it comes to audio. It's been a sorry trend, with the studio failing to offer Dolby TrueHD tracks and/or comparable DTS-HD or uncompressed PCM mixes on their A-list Blu-ray titles, while their HD DVD counterparts boast high-resolution audio. (The PCM track that Warner included on the Blu-ray edition of 'The Departed' last month appears to have been an anomaly.) As such, all that the Blu-ray of 'Happy Feet' gets is a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX track in English, French and Spanish. Unfortunately for audiophiles, this just can't compare to the full-blown Dolby TrueHD mix on the HD DVD.

It's a gorgeous-looking film, and for my money, Warner has delivered the finest transfer of an animated movie I've yet seen on HD DVD. Quite simply, this 1080p/VC-1 encode is flawless, and it's going to be the title I whip out as first-choice demo material when I want to show off how great animation can look in high-definition. (Note that both the HD DVD and Blu-ray versions of 'Happy Feet' contain identical encodes, right down to the bitrate.)
