| IVL presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.92:1, with anamorphic enhancement. The Digital Video look and the chosen cinematography for this production produces a sharp and stunningly colourful transfer.
The Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1 track has clear, intelligible dialogue and uses the fronts well for the soothing score.
The English subtitles contains a few spelling errors but on the whole are well-worded. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.
IVL has put together a minor extras section as well, with English subtitles only for the trailers and promotional material. The Making Of (9 minutes, 59 seconds) offers no surprises with its inclusion of cast & crew interviews and behind the scenes footage. The trailer for The Shoe Fairy and a 7 page Photo Gallery ends the movie specific extras.
