Let’s start by saying that this 2K restored version of Mr Vampire comes with several audio tracks to choose from an English dub in 2.0, an America Dub in 5.1 and the Cantonese audio in mono, so I opted to watch the film in it’s 5.1 dub for the purposes of this review.

The team behind the 2K Restoration of Mr Vampire has done a good job, there is some slight grain to the film, but this really doesn’t distract from what is a fun movie with its mix of comedy, some martial arts and horror, the colours are nice and vibrant making the film look fresh and most probably how it looked when it first had its release, the dubbing is one of the better-dubbed movies I’ve seen recently and the 5.1 mix does sound good (I’ll update this review with the other language options soon).

Audio available in original Japanese, but also a magnificent English dub (3 more)
An excellent adaption of a brilliant book
The music. Oh my beating heart.
English dub specific: you CANNOT go wrong with Billy Crystal.
IMO: The very best of Studio Ghibli.
Such a delightful movie. Everything about it makes me happy, or content, or understanding of the world, or takes the edge off whatever is bothering me IRL.
  
This was a really cool adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. I love the dark twist (in opposition to the Disney, not the Grimm) Gaiman gives the story. I listened to the audio book and it was more of a story play than a regular reading of the story itself. All I can say was it was incredible. Great job Gaiman! I can't wait to see if you do something like this again!

My preferred eReader app
I was an early adopter of the Kindle and now use the Kindle App on my Android Tablet. Combining the eReader with Audible allows you to jump between an audio book and the written word with ease.

Also, just as an added benefit the text size adjustment is very intuitive and easy to resize on the go. Great for when you are changing between devices.

Poor sound quality (0 more)
I really wanted to enjoy Spotify. Unfortunately, it's had poor sound quality on every device I've tried it on. I've tried all kinds of audio settings and it doesn't seem to work. Yes, it has a wide variety of music that I love but it's not worth it if it all sounds muddy.
