Wave Twisters - The Movie (WTM) is an eye-popping, hip-hop-meets-Hanna-Barbera, animated adventure synched skratch for skratch with DJ QBert's turntable masterpiece of the same name. Each track of Q-Bert's original album was designed to provide the audio framework for another chapter in this sci-fi/kung-fu epic; every aspect of the story - music, sound effects - even dialogue - has been accounted for and seamlessly integrated into QBert's original musical compositions. WTM gives visual expression to Q-Bert's narrative while pioneering the concept of visual skratching; sampling from a wide variety of techniques (from traditional cell animation to 3D to live action to photo collage), WTM defines a unique visual style analogous to the supercharged cutting and skratching of a turntable DJ. WTM catapults the bar on the correspondence between sound and image, taking the Fantasia concept to the next, dizzying level. When the music says, "Jump!" the animation asks, "How high?" The hero of WTM is the Inner Space Dental Commander, a cross between Luke Skywalker, David Carradine, and the family dentist, who must fulfill his destiny by reviving the "Lost Arts" (i.e., the four pillars of hip-hop culture - breakdancing, rapping, graffiti, and, most importantly, skratching). To do so, he and his posse (the mischievous medical droid, Rubbish, his lovely assistant and comrade-at-arms, Honey, and B-Boy Grandpa, the last surviving link to a bygone era when the Arts flourished) battle their way through an increasingly surreal collection of villains, pitfalls, and booby-traps. Among the villains are an elite corps of turntable warriors, played by key members of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz - QBert, Yoga Frog, and D-Styles plus DJ Flare. Their electrifying performances blaze a path of destruction which stands between the Dental Commander and his final showdown with Lord Ook, the evil mastermind behind the plot to suppress and control the Lost Arts throughout "inner space."

I own the first edition DVD but wanted this version, for mobility purposes. The overall audio experience, renders this title, completely. Upon initial playback, during title sequences, the sound is nil and throughout the entire video, the sound is downgraded to sub par stereo. Was not expecting that seeing that this could of had at least, stereo to simulated HD. Judging by the actual size of this file (508MB), that tells me that this is not a 'direct' DVD copy but a downgraded version of one. Four stars for the content itself and not for the disappointing quality.

DJ Q-Bert killing it here with this classic scratch movie! Perhaps the only scratch movie out there! My son has been a fan of this since he was 3! If you love hip-hop, than you must check this out! Trippy!

Did not enjoy it.
