Summary: Boring
Review: Kind of boring. My daughter loses interest after a few minuts as well. They could have done a better job. I don't care how many people feel this is the best DVD going, I dont' care too much for it, neither does my daughter, and it is all about the kids. She gets scared of the mirror. I can't blame her. If I was close to 5, I'd be scared too. They could have done more with this DVD, but they chose not to. I'd think twice before buying it again, but it is opened so it is obviously staying with us. Maybe when she's older she'll enjoy it. I actually fell asleep while watching it, so it's great if you need some rest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the best
Review: This is the best classic Disney has ever produced. My three-year old is so captivated by the adorable Snow White and her company of Seven Dwarfs that sometimes she wants to watch this movie few times a day. The music is exquisite, the songs mesmerizing, the movements brilliant, and the whole (although well-known) story thrilling. This film is really splashy and will go the long way in shaping children's minds.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great DVD, but I've got some suggestions & quibbles
Review: I know I'm probably speaking to alot of Disneyphiles by posting here and some of what I'll say might be heresy, but I figure an honest review beats mindless fawning.

First, the DVD. It's about as laden with extra stuff as DVDs can get, and if you're a cartoon lover or Disneyphile there are alot of treasures here. Film clips, a song that got cut, storyboarding... you name it, it's there. I personally completely hate the Streisand performance of "Someday My Prince Will Come". She out-sugars Adriana Caselotti, and that takes some doing. But in the end, if extras are what you look for in DVDs it's got that in spades.

Now for the film. Though I'm completely cognisant of Snow White's landmark status in animated film history I have to say the movie drags more than a little through the middle. In retrospect it seems obvious that Disney was doing what alot of directors do today -- skating by on good visuals at the expense of story. Of course it worked at that time, and Snow White remains an important and interesting film, but looking back at it from today's standards and comparing it to current work done by Disney, it dates badly. The animation, revolutionary at the time, just doesn't do it for me and the story I doubt would be interesting to anyone other than very small children (5 & under) of today.

If you buy your DVDs for the movie & not the extras, you might want to rent Snow White & see if your memories match the actual film. You might, like me, find yourself both surprised & a bit bored.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For kids, adults, and the kid in all adults
Review: Snow White, as we remember it, is wonderful on DVD. My almost 4 year old granddaughter loves it and it has become her favorite video. (Grandma has a large collection just for her, too.)

There also is a huge amount of material about the making of SW, Barbra singing, things not used in the movie, and more, all for the curious adult. It's hard to realize now just how groundbreaking this movie was when it was released.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD!
Review: This is truly one of the best DVDs to own.Im addition to the many bonus features such as the audio for the 1937 World Premiere, and the French language audio track, there's Dopey's Wild Ride game which my entire family is enjoying. It had a 3D effect and you really feel like you're riding inside that cave. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not for Under 4 Yrs Old
Review: The movie is beautiful, but not to a 3 1/2 year old. My granddaughter was scared too much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wow....
Review: Bought this DVD to watch with my kids and I couldn't believe how blown away I was.

Sure the animation is still old school, but they did a simply amazing job restoring the colors. Everything is vibrant and beautiful.

Then you get to all the behind the scenes features. I can't belive that Disney has not done this sort of thing sooner. I just hope that this sets the standard for all future releases from them!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stunning.
Review: We already had the VHS version. The DVD is stunning. Our system is a progressive scan DVD and HD rear projection, and this DVD shows incredibly well. The kids have been singing 'hi-ho' for days.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Disney's DVD so far
Review: You won't believe the visual quality of this 1937 Disney classic on DVD! This is simply breathtaking candy to the eye. To complement the best presentation available to date, Disney has cramped tons of bonus extras into this 2-disc set. This DVD is both a true collector's gem and a classic animation piece suitable for the whole family. You owe yourself to a copy of this great DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is what DVDs should be
Review: The new restoration is, of course, breathtaking. But there is so much more on this astounding DVD.
The archival information in the 2 disc set takes us through the creative process, showing the craft, dedication and artistry involved in making this breakthrough film almost 65yrs ago. I liken it to an artistic 'Manhattan Project', with untested and visionary technology hurtling together to launch a new kind of movie against the enemies of time, money and nay-sayers. If you thought animation was just cartoons on a flip-pad, you will be astounded as the Disney legacy of technique and true artistic integrity is unveiled in this archivally extensive and well planned DVD. In my experience, everything Disney does represents excellence. This DVD is proof of this, and will fascinate movie buffs to kids who enjoy the interactive game & menus. (It) is a bargain for so much entertainment, and will exceed your highest expectations!
