Review: This was the first DVD I bought and it is definitely the best. The film looks brand new. The color and sound are brilliant. There are also alot of interesting and fun extras on this dvd. I would recommend this DVD for anyone who loves the movie, Disney, or DVDs in general. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: (One of) the fairest of them all...
Review: Snow White is a beautifully-crafted film and the one that started it all. As an avid fan of classic (and "Renaissance") Disney, I have great respect for this film. I'm nineteen, and people around my age and younger (and frankly, even those who are older) often fail to put the film in proper historical context. In any case, it's one of the five strongest Disney movies and a magificent animated experience. The final "True Love's Kiss" sequence still makes me cry every time I watch this movie.

Someday my prince will come!

Summary: what is this????
Review: This Disney movie was rather terrible! I thought Snow White's voice was quite annoying. It has some things outdated. It doesn't compare to my favourites: Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. Sigh... And the poisonous apple wasn't supposed to be called the poison apple! its supposed to be a magic apple. A magic apple sounds charming. A poison apple sounds like a turpentine-soaked fruit! I can't believe I wasted my money on this piece of junk!

Summary: The one that started it all and still the fairest in the lan
Review: If you are confused by the title, it is supposed to be The one that started it all and still the fairest in the land. This was the first animated movie ever, and who knows if animation would ever be around if Mr. Walt Disney hadn't. And the has been a lot of animated movies that came out since, (too many to count) and Mr. Disney was around for most of them until his death in 1966. As the movie opens, a book opens and tells what happens to Snow White before the book is not seen. Every day Snow White's (Adriana Caselotti) stepmother the queen (Lucille La Verne) askes her magic mirror (Moroni Olsen) who the fairest in the land and the answer is the same every day, it is the queen, until one day when the Queen asks the same question again. But this time the mirror gives clues to Snow White. The Queen is so mad that she sents her huntsman to kill Snow White. But the Huntsman can't do it, so he tells Snow White to run away and never come back. (That part so like 1994's The Lion King). There was only one animated movie that was nomianted for best pitcure and that was Beauty and the Beast.

Summary: A Must give gift from all Fathers to Daughters

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-have for anyone!
Review: As a historical acheivement, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" is a must-have for anyone. Almost seventy years later it is still a phenomenal thing to watch. Even as animation has grown by leaps and bounds as the years have passed, this movie is still a marvel. Very fluid and lifelike movements from the characters. And the story, of course, is timeless. Anyone who hasn't seen it is missing out on an unbelieveably fantastic movie. And being a Disney film, it's assured to be a treat for children! Without a doubt this one needs to be on any Disney collector's shelf!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The One that Started it All
Review: Snow White is one of the greatest animated masterpieces of all time. Although it was an experimental film at the time of its release (no one had ever made a full-length animated feature before), there is not a hint that the creators at Disney didn't know exactly what they were doing when they made this beautiful movie. The DVD features a perfectly cleaned up picture and soundtrack. Everything looks and sounds beautiful. The extra features are QUITE extensive as well; documentaries, behind-the-scenes, interviews, games, deleted scenes, alternate music tracks, you name it, it is here! This disc features hours of enjoyment. Disney has definitely done good with this release!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The most annoying voice in Disney history.
Review: I am an avid Disney fan, but that doesn't mean I love all of them, and Snow White is one that I will never like. It is average when Snow White remains silent, but when she talks I must admit to cringing. I give it two stars for the animal characters (I always liked the turtle) and Grumpy (the rest of the Dwarfs kind of freak me out). Also another thing that annoys me is that Snow White falls in love with the Prince after meeting him for two seconds (and kissing a bird) at a well, I don't think they even exchanged one real word, Cinderella had more contact than that with her Prince and that was pretty minimal. It really is the worst of the Princess movies, which I feel is too bad because it was the first and I really wish that I could like it, but I really can't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disney's great animated classic
Review: Since I just recently purchased the DVD of this animated classic, this seemed like an appropriate time to write a review on this wonderful film. Walt Disney's animated fairy tale is the movie by which all Disney films, and indeed all animated films must be compared to.

I remember when I first saw this film in the theater as a kid (possibly on its 1987 release), I was completely blown away. This film can stand up to the best animated films made today. The wonderfully detailed animation is quite remarkable, especially when you realize that this was during the days when everything was hand drawn. Even in this era of computer animation, animated films rarely reach this level of expertise. The rich colours seem to jump at you out of the screen. As for the songs, they are so well known that many people can hum them by heart. "Whistle While You Work", "I'm Wishing", "Heigh-Ho", and "Someday My Prince Will Come" have all entered into public conscienceness. I'll never forget the queen's terrifying transformation into an old hag. Has anyone noticed the irony in the queen's needing to turn into an ugly hag in order to stay the fairest in the land?

Disney doesn't forget to add some humour. For a kids film with such grim subject matter (an evil queen trying to kill her step-daughter), humour is a vital necessity. I love the way Disney gave each dwarf a distinct personality. There's Doc, Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Bashful, and Dopey, all named for obvious reasons. I loved the scenes where Sneezy's chronic hayfever causes the dwarves to be blown across the room like in a hurricane. It's terribly amusing to hear Grumpy expressing disdain over Snow White's cooking ("Careful, it might be witch's brew!"), and Snow White's policy of cleanliness. Then there's poor Dopey getting selected to investigate what it is that is laying upstairs. The forest animals are not without moments of their own, the scene where the animals help Snow White to clean the dwarfs' cottage is one of the film's most delightful moments.

All that being said, I have a couple of minor quibbles. It occured to me that Snow White herself is rather poorly drawn. Her features are all vague and without great detail. It's odd that a film with such otherwise great animation could do such a poor job on its main character. Also, the person who voices Snow White speaks in too high a voice. But it's to this film's credit that such problems can only be noticed by nitpickers.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'" release in 1937 was unexpectedly timely. In Europe, Hitler was viciously persecuting the Jews, while Stalin was conducting his brutal purges of suspected enemies. The way the dwarves take in Snow White and shield her from the evil queen can be compared to the way brave and kindly people hid the Jews from Hitler's Gestapo. But these comparisons are probably accidental.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwars" is not just a great family film, but one of the greatest of all films.
