Ga'Hoole's lavish 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode comes as close to perfection as an animated presentation can, and will delight and dazzle videophiles of all ages. Feathers have long been one of nature's most delicate creations, and each one that graces the screen is incredibly crisp and lifelike. Every barb, shaft and frayed edge is present and accounted for, the overlapping patterns that emerge are worthy of close examination, and neither wind nor rain undermines their beauty. But Legend of the Guardians is teeming with jaw-dropping detail and immaculate fine textures. The sun-struck flecks of dust that float through a shaft of light, the imperfections in a warrior's weathered armor, the white-hot sparks that leap from clashing blades, the smallest falling leaf and the tiniest droplet of rain, all rendered with seemingly effortless ease. The film's unobtrusive grain has been preserved as well, and there isn't a hint of artifacting, macroblocking, or unsightly ringing to be found. Likewise, colors are spellbinding, primaries flourish, contrast is impeccable, and black levels are rich and inky. There are a few fleeting instances of negligible banding and aliasing, but the only notable bit of banding occurs as sunlight spreads across a starry night sky in the film's opening shot, and the aliasing that appears is so tough to spot that I had to actively hunt for it. Neither detracts from the presentation in any way, and only those muttering "banding, banding, banding" and "aliasing, aliasing, aliasing" in a mad trance will catch sight of what little does appear. Again, Warner's encode comes as close to perfection as an animated presentation can, and it takes a cold heart and an eagle eye to feel the least bit disappointed by a single frame. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole Blu-ray, Audio QualityFrom the moment a screeching owl hurtles into view and glides through the Warner Brothers logo, Ga'Hoole's bold, energetic DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track demonstrates its power and prowess. Snyder's owl kingdom is as immersive as it is magnificent, and every rustling forest, raging thunderstorm, clashing army, roaring fire and joyous celebration fills the soundfield with nuance and conviction. Rear speaker activity is lively, absorbing and intense; pans are as graceful as the wind that ruffles our heroes' feathers; directionality is precise and involving; LFE output is remarkably robust and thoroughly penetrating; and dynamics are strong and satisfying. Listen closely as Soren and Kludd struggle to fend off a forest-floor beast, as a band of fledgling warriors are consumed by a blinding blizzard, as a particularly gifted young owl instinctively navigates a violent storm with his teacher, as the Guardians stage an assault on Metalbeak's lair, or as the newest Guardian braves a forest fire to save his heroes. Through it all, voices are both crystal clear and perfectly prioritized, regardless of how chaotic the soundscape becomes. After reviewing hundreds of lossless audio tracks over the years, I'm not as easily impressed as I once was, but the Ga'Hoole mix entranced and enthralled me again and again.
