SPECIAL FEATURES – 2½/5


This release comes with a semi-glossy slip cover and inside is a redemption code for the Digital HD.

The Mon-Stars of Wrestling (4:40) shows off the monsters from the film.

Massive Monsters, Wrestling Moves, and Dazzling Dances (5:14) — Here we finally get an actual featurette with behind-the-scenes footage and breaks down the dance and wrestling chorographers.

Four Rounds in the Animation Ring (1:52) — Short featurette on the art of animation.

Deleted Scenes (4:42) has a few scenes that didn’t make the cut.

 


VIDEO – 4½/5, AUDIO – 4¼/5


Paramount releases Rumble onto Blu-ray where it’s presented with a 2.38 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Like most CG animated movies, they generally look good in HD, detail was fairly good and colors are bright and vibrant throughout. I noticed no signs of aliasing or banding making for a fine looking animated feature.

The disc comes with a standard but effective DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Dialogue comes across with good clarity with a boost for depth during the wrestling matches with the crowds and the hard-hitting moves done by the monsters.
