Snow Queen! The Legendary Sailor Scouts' Power Appears!
As Usagi and her friends enjoy Christmas vacation, an unusual snow
storm hits the town. When the Sailor Scouts search for the
source, they discover the evil Snow Queen, Kaguya and her Snow
Dancers have returned.
Long ago, Snow
Queen Kaguya tries to invade Earth, but a great light forced her

through space where all she did was think about how and when she
would return to claim Earth as her own. But crucial to the

Once Queen Kaguya finds the crystal she will be able to fulfill
her plan to cover the Earth to ice, sucking away all life energy

save Earth? All hope lies with the Legendary Ultimate

DVD REVIEW:
I have been an avid
watcher of the "Sailor Moon" series for a long time now
and I just had to check out the DVD version of the series which
includes the Japanese uncut edition which I was happy about.
I must admit that I
liked the dubbed version that was on TV but when watching this
DVD, I didn't care for the dub...because Sailor Moon is much
enjoyable watching it in Japanese with the subtitles (if you don't
understand Japanese that is).
So, that out of the
way, let's talk about the movie. I remember seeing this
movie years ago and I really enjoyed it a lot because it featured
the new scouts and also something different with a storyline
involving Luna and I enjoyed the storyline.
If anything bothered
me the most, it was the video quality. It looks quite dated
and I don't think when I saw it the first time years ago it looked
like this. I could be wrong but I thought the movie was more
colorful (go into the special features and check out the images
from the film). The audio is stereo/mono but I don't think I
recall anything major in terms of the use of awesome sound.
If there was one big improvement with this DVD is that they added
more to the special features...although it's not much, it's good
enough. There is a secret feature which you will have to
find for yourself, here's a hint: Luna.
If there is one thing
that I am happy about these DVD releases of the Sailor Moon movies
is that you can see the difference between the English and the
original Japanese versions in terms of storyline and for those who
watch this movie via dubbed only, will miss out on one heck of a
cool storyline ala original Japanese (with the options of English
subtitles, of course).
Otherwise a good DVD.
I hope to see more special features in the next Sailor Moon Super
S DVD.
