Summary: Wonderful for young and old
Review: I liked watching this movie when I was a child and thanks to this DVD set I will be able to enjoy it as an adult as well as often as I want. The movie itself needs no explanation and the Special Features are very comprehensive. I spent over one hour exploring them, which is rather unusual for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes!
Review: I have this DVD and I thought I would review it:

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, is possibly one of the best Disney DVD's availible. This two-disc DVD collection is a must have for all Disney fans.

This is the movie that defied animation, and is now redefining DVD.

We all know the classic story of the princess who flees away from the jealous queen, and finds friends in seven comic dwarves.

The picture and sound quaility are 100% perfect.

There are countless hours of enchanment with the special features that include:

An all new, animated host, the magic mirrior

Deleted scences and songs,

a set top adventure game featuring Dopey

Karaoke sing alongs,

original storyboard sketches

a 40 minute making of documentary

and many, many, more special features:

This is a DVD that you get your money's worth of. Buy it today and you'll be glad you did!

It looks like Disney will keep getting better and better as time goes on...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent collector's edition for Disney fans
Review: The Collector's Edition of Snow White contains material that every Disney fan/collector will enjoy. It's worth the extra money to upgrade to the collector's edition of this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Caveat for owners of widescreen-format TVs.
Review: Okay, first, let me say that this is a wonderful DVD.

There's nothing I can add to all of the praise heaped on this collection--a beautiful transfer of the movie which looks as good as when I saw the digitally-refurbished re-release back in the 90s. The discs are chock-full of games, trivia, archival footage, promotional material from each time the film was re-released, and on and on.

I do have a warning, however: at the time SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS was released, there really was no such thing as widescreen cinema. It was produced and exhibited in the 4:3 aspect ratio (standard TV shape). If you have a widescreen TV, you'll either need to watch it distorted (about 33% wider than intended), framed by vertical bars (windowbox?), or trimmed at the top and bottom.

It's a minor annoyance, though: don't let it deter you from owning this masterpiece.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Perhaps a bit over the top...
Review: Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent dvd set, but...

There are moments that make me wonder, is this all really necessary?

For instance, the film looks good. Very good. Too good. There is not a flaw to be seen, no specks, no dirt, no dust. Nothing. It's simply too clean. I get this horrible feeling sometimes that I'm not watching the original film, but a remake!

Yet the restoration is well done, and the colors are simply phenominal. This is how the film must have looked the first time it was shown.

There are many bonus materials here, almost all of which are excellent. The lost scenes are fascinating, the additional music and film materials are interesting, and the development ideas are well presented.

Then comes the scariest moment of all - a history of the Disney company.

It starts off well enough, and we get to see all the artistic acheivements that happened in the 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's, but when we get to the 80's, it gets scary. We basically have a laundry list of everything the Disney comapny owns, parks, baseball teams, hockey teams, boats, and on and on. I was waiting for Angela Lansbury to pull out the deed to the country. What was sad was how blunt the presentation was of what is basically corporate propaganda. It ruined the spirit of the whole set for me, as I realized that these dvds weren't made to celebrate art, they were made to celebrate the beginning of a corporate monolith.

Ah well, the rest of this set is great, and by buying it, I've increased stock values.

Enjoy!

Summary: one of the creepiest movies ever
Review: I'm sorry, but Snow White (along with the Wizard of Oz) has always creeped me out. All the bells and whistles of this admittedly amazing DVD version only add to my creep-out factor. My daughter and her little friends enjoy this movie. Alas, I never will.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disney at its classic best
Review: I was a little kid when this movie first hit the theaters. I was fascinated by it then and I am fascinated anew as I watch it on videotape. My 3-year-old granddaughter often asks to see it. She sits through every viewing with the happy involvement and enthusiasm of a first-timer. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" doesn't have the visual sharpness and depth of color we see in contemporary cartoons and the heroine's singing voice is not likely to be emulated by very many youngsters, but the film stands up beautifully as a source of innocent entertainment and probably will continue to do so far into the future.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shows its age....
Review: Great features, I already have this on tape from when I was young but decided to get the dvd so I would have it to show to my kids someday. Watching it I realized that they would probably be bored with this, seeing as how far animation has come. Still, it was a classic of my childhood and I look forward to boring my grandchildren about how cartoons used to be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL......................RETURNS !!!
Review: This DVD pleased me very much with its songs,artwork and this movie really brings out the child in all of us.This DVD of VHS will make you laugh,smile,and even make you cry.This is a movie that should be watched by everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD
Review: This is a great DVD. My 6 year old daughter seemed a little bored with it though. i think it appeals more to adults who have seen it a long time ago.
