Image and Sound:

There are slight problems between the picture quality between the newer scenes and the episodes of the series which are used on the special you'll be able to tell between in the older versions, Rabbit looks very green and in the modern footage he's yellow. The picture transfer itself does show it's age cosidering it was out in '99 and the older episodes are from the mid 90's it's presented in full screen (1.33.1) in dolby digital suround sound with english and spanish subs all the subs are clear through there's a bit of a drop off sound wise.
