Summary: Snow White is fully loaded even without 7 Dwarves
Review: At last Disney gets it right. Of all the Disney DVDs I've bought my daughter, this was the first one to get it right (Dumbo the 60th anniversary edition is pretty good too).Aside from having cleaned the movie up until it looks even better than when it was originally released in 1937 (a process explored on one of the disks), this release of Snow White includes a detailed look at how the movie came into being, from initial sketches to how it was marketed via old trailers and movie posters. I always appreciate seeing the original drawings and sketches when an animated feature is the topic of discussion. It's interesting to note how the witch changed from being a frumpy Alice in Wonderland-type character to the more svelte looking queen we know today. This image was almost duplicated by the producers of The Wizard of Oz who fortunately decided to go for a more traditional looking witch prior to shooting (but that's another DVD extra). The disk also explores how Snow White was technically produced. I particularly enjoyed the segment on how Disney pioneered the use of a multi-plane camera (which I now recognize whenever I watch other Disney movies for its unique quality of depth). The DVD also offers some fun, interactive items. My daughter loves Dopey's Wild Ride, where she has to answer questions in order to help Dopey save Snow White. Overall, this is the best release this movie could have possibly received. I rank this DVD right up there with The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka and Shrek for its robust and extensive complement of extras. It's nice when the extras on a DVD become almost as worthwhile as the original movie.

Summary: 'Snow White' DVD Fairest & Best of Them All!
Review: Being an avid Disney obsessive, I was thrilled to learn that 'Snow White' was finally coming to DVD, and the one-year wait from the discovery was almost unbarable. When I finally snapped up the discs this past week, I was well rewarded for the wait. THE FILM -- ***** (5/5)
At the center of the marvelous two-disc "immersive experience" is the jewel in the crown -- the film itself. I forgot long ago how good of a movie it is, and have since seen it three times this week alone. It truly is the best Disney feature, and I will never forget it; it really will live forever. BONUS MATERIALS -- ***** (5/5)
The vast extras are impossible to describe -- I'm emmensly impressed. Favorites of mine include the "Some Day My Prince Will Come" music video, "Dopey's Wild Mine Ride" trivia game, "The Goddess of Spring" Silly Symphony cartoon, the "Still the Fairest of Them All" documentary, and disc two's memorable, educational, and exciting "Disney Through the Decades," the restoration documentary, and all of the historically important "Snow White" trailers through the years. Also interesting were the abandoned concepts in the Queen's Dungon, and much more. You won't want to miss these extras. All in all, it's a thrilling DVD -- one you're sure to want in your collection. Speaking of collections, by the way, this title begins Disney's prestigous Platnum Edition series, which will continue next year with the long-awaited (finally) DVD debut of "Beauty and the Beast." TOTAL: ***** 5/5

Summary: AFI voted it a top 100 film & Disney's Legacy is in this DVD
Review: The American Film Institute voted 2 of Walt Disney Films into the top 100 films in the last 100 years. They are Snow White (1937) and Fantasia (1940). Snow White even received Special Oscars from the Academy because of it groundbreaking achievements. This was the first full length color (from the magnificent TECHNOCOLOR pallet) animated feature told as a dramatic fairy tale. It was the first time people actually became emotionally attached to a "Toon". Our emotions were tested and we believed! Disney from this day forward would change all our lives and our childrens and childrens childrens for all generations to come.
This 2 DVD "Platinum Edition" (the first in a new elite series, the next one will be "BEAUTY and the BEAST" another one of my favorites) set of "SNOW WHITE and the SEVEN DWARFS" is meticulously presented to us. And provides us with a perfectly digitally remastered print of this classic film (you'll be watching this one over and over. It's such a great story!!!). It is so detailed and colorful. The story was flawlessly edited and presented in a fast pace, musically toe tapping emotional roller coaster ride format.
This DVD set will be educational and entertaining. Disney Enterprises has now given us the magic and legacy of Walt Disney. Hearing his voice on the Commentary Track and seeing him throughout his years spearheading this monumental mission of changing the world and making animated pictures respectable is just a peek at this DVD package. There is also a dandy "Dopey's Wild Mine Ride" game to play. (So pay attention when watching Snow White".)
All in all this is one of the best assembled DVD sets ever and Disney gets 2 thumbs up for giving us not only the Greatest animated film ever (over 2 million hand drawn pictures & 3 years to make) but all the archived details of Walt Disney work too.
So get ready to "Whistle while you work" through hours and hours of fun in watching & listening to this milestone DVD set. A must, a collectible.
Thank you Disney Enterprises for sharing Walt Disney's Legacy with us.

Summary: They Don't Call Her The Fairest Of Them All For Nothing!
Review: It's quite amazing after 60 plus years,"Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs" still seems as fresh,charming,entertaining,and ageless as when it first came on to the big screen.I've watched it countless times on VHS when I was a kid and yet I have never gotten tired of it.On DVD,however,it is a true splender to behold,looking like it could have been released today.The 2-disc set is packed with great features,such as an excellent 40-minute making-of featurette,a newly recorded version of "Someday My Prince Will Come" sung by Barbra Streisand,a thorough "Disney Through The Decades" history recap including clips of "Dumbo","Sleeping Beauty","Mary Poppins","The Lion King","Toy Story" etc.,and A LOT more stuff.As a gift for the upcoming holidays,it's a no-brainer.But get it fast before it is put on mortatorium in January 2002!

Summary: Almost a century ahead of its time
Review: Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is one of those classic films that truly deserve the title of "classic." This is a true marvel of film-making, considering how long ago it was made, a time when animated technology was obviously still in its primitive stages. This is simply an astronomical accomplishment. This Platinum Edition 2-disc DVD is what each and every fan of this movie has been dreaming about. Presentation is superb, both in terms of quality as well as bonus content. Sound and image have both been remastered and restored for an excellent viewing experience. And of course, the bonus features...so much of them that it can get overwhelming (not that I'm complaining!). I share the sentiments of some reviewers here who are upset about Disney discontinuing this title, but what's one to do. eBay is still the best place to buy a copy, if you don't mind paying quite a bit for it. I didn't buy myself a copy before it got discontinued but I found a brand new copy at a CVS/Pharmacy store (I kid you not) of all places. Yes, it is true. And what's even more unbelievable, I saw a copy for sale at another CVS store as well. And no, these are not pirated copies. I highly doubt every CVS will have one, but next time you're in there pay attention to their DVD stock. You might find yourself quite happy.

Summary: Awesome 2-Disc Set!
Review: I won't bother to summarize the story of Snow White. It is the classic fairy tale with a beautiful maiden, gallant prince, and evil queen. This 2-disc set contains a depth of additional information that I found fascinating. First, the restoration of the movie is incredible. Disc 2 has a feature called the "Restoration," and it details how new technology enabled Disney to clean up and refresh Snow White from the original film. The piece contains a side-by-side comparison of the cleaned up version versus the original. Absolutely stunning! Other interesting supplemental materials from the 2nd Disc include "Abandoned Concepts," "Disney Through the Decades," "Storyboard to Film Comparisons," and other well-done pieces of information. This DVD truly is the total package. The movie itself is timeless, and the supplemental material teaches you everything you've ever wanted to know about Disney animation and the creation of, and restoration of Snow White. What truly struck me as something that sets it apart from other good "special editions" is the DVD's documentation. The DVD's guide details each feature on both discs. This saves time trying to navigate via the DVD. Just find out what you want to watch, and cut to it via your DVD player. Terrific! This "total package" is a wonderful way to begin a Disney DVD collection.

Summary: An amazing DVD
Review: This is no doubt the most extensive DVD I've ever encountered. First, the film quality is excellent. I was expecting a grainy picture, but the picture quality is fantastic for such an old movie. Then there's all the extras! Wow!! You could spend a full day just checking out disk 2! Disk 1 also has its fair share of extras. One of the extras is Dopey's Wild Ride. It's an interactive triva game, and the questions are quite hard (one requires you to match the dwarf to his musical instrument!). This is definitely one of the better games I've seen on DVDs (much better than the games on Shrek). Disk 2 is full of features such as deleted scenes and old trailers for the movie. Also included on disk 2 is a comparison of the storyboard to the actual movie. This is a pretty neat feature because you can use the angle button to toggle between the different scenes. I was surprised to see how dramatic this movie is. If you have young children, be sure to watch it with them the first time they view the movie. When I was 4, the Snow White ride was the only ride that scared me at Disney World, and I think the movie could do the same to young children!

Summary: missing!
Review: I just received a very expensive Snow White in a sealed package-platinum edition. There is ONLY ONE CD in the package. Not pleased about spending a lot of money for this 1/2 the item I was ordering.
