appropriately candy-colored elements, such as set design and costumes where bright primaries dominate. While I would have loved to see what Dolby Vision could do with Elf's vivid and varied palette, the HDR is no slouch. The faint print damage that plagued the Blu-ray is gone, fabric textures like fur, tweed, and wool are much sharper, depth is more palpable, blacks are richer, whites are brighter, and the image exudes far more dimension. Fast Track Frivolity Makes Elf Even More Festive As Glimpses of the Movie's Magical Making Pop Up While You Watch the Movie.Home Entertainment will release on 4K Blu-ray Jon Favreau's comedy Elf (2003), starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Bob Newhart, Edward Asner, and Mary Steenburgen.

With all the reds, greens, and golds on display and all the falling snow, holiday movies are a natural for 4K UHD, and Warner's eye-popping rendering of Elf serves up a potent Christmas cocktail that intoxicates the senses. The trouble is that his dad, Walter (James Caan), is a publishing executive who doesn't have time for anything other than work. A wide dynamic scale gives John Debney's music score and all the soundtrack tunes plenty of room to breathe, distortion is absent, and all the dialogue is well prioritized and easy to comprehend.Some palpable surround activity occasionally punctuates the action, but most of the sound is anchored up front. Favreau's film is family entertainment at its finest, featuring a performance by Ferrell that is at once innocent, tender, and laugh-out-loud funny. Thus begins Buddy's quest to connect with his father, win the affections of a special girl, bring a family back together, and save the spirit of Christmas. However there is not much output below 40hz on this track, so do not expect your sub to shimmy across the floor.
