Summary: A Timeless Treasure
Review: Walt Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) remains an enduring landmark in cinema history. Happily, the DVD edition does justice to one of the all-time great films, featuring a pristine transfer and a wealth of archival material. With the exception of "Fantasia" (1940), Disney never surpassed this remarkable achievement - nor has anyone else in the realm of full-length animation.

Summary: A Classic Updated
Review: This DVD is a must-have for any serious collector. In addition to the film itself, which is well worth the price alone--especially in this fully-restored version--the DVD set offers more than an entire disc to bonus features. The wealth of information is only part of it, though--the experience of digging through the material, guided by your friend the Magic Mirror, is thoroughly engrossing. Just as amazing, though, is the website. Like the DVD, the site has more than just information--games, activities, animation and music abound. Cheers to Disney!

Summary: A true classic
Review: A classic film. A well done DVD by Disney. It kind of, note the words kind of, makes up for other Disney classics on DVD with NO extras! Now, we just need Disney to release the others not released yet on DVD.

Summary: The magic mirror is awesome
Review: Disney did a great job by making all of this DVD a great experience. Try just letting the DVD "sit" there for a few minutes on the menu screen. The mirror has some really funny wisecracks.

Summary: Maddie's Favorite
Review: After watching Snow White no less than EIGHTEEN TIMES with my 20 month old I feel as if I am somewhat of an exprert. Disney has outdone themselves with this masterpiece of a film. The story is greatly known, although the message that this sends to young women may need some interference from mom and dad but ths movie is timeless in it's good vs evil themes and true love.
The DVD extras are quite fun: visit Snow White through the years. Play Dopey's mine game (well this is a bit dull for adults but the little one loved it), a "Hi-Ho" sing along. There is also Barbra Striesand belting out "someday My Prince Will Come". This is a great DVD to add to your collection and one that will get much play.

Summary: Amazing DVD
Review: I've had this only for a few days, and am still exploring it. It is truly an amazing piece that Disney has put out. The clarity, color and sound of the restored movie is outstanding. The extras on these discs though, is the main reason I bought the DVD. This is what DVD's are all about. Disney Pioneered the animation field with this movie, and are trying to do the same with this DVD. There are literally over 25 hours of entertainment on this set, and many, many interesting behind the scenes segments, and "How'd they do that?" features on the making of the movie, and the history of the Snow White story. This is a limited edition, so I would say grab it up while you can. I am eagerly looking forward to the Disney DVD release of the Mickey Mouse cartoons. I will be buying that, and along with this Snow White DVD, these are my first purchases made with my future children in mind. (I have none now, and none on the way, but these timeless family items will keep for many years, and Disney also offers a replacement plan for DVD's that get damaged.)

Summary: A fantastic edition of a classic animated feature
Review: Does anyone need to be convinced that Walt Disney's Snow White is a masterpiece animation that has a place in every home library? I doubt it. The real question is which version to purchase. This DVD version is certainly a top contender. Whereas many "special" editions contain the feature, the trailers, and an interview or two, this one - actually there are two DVD's - is packed full of production information, historical information, children's activities, features that help explain how an animated film is created, and a short clip featuring Adriana Caselotti, the lady who gave the speaking and singing voice to Snow White. The commentary on the special features is informative (often educational), but short enough to fit young attention spans. Among my favorite features are Barbra Streisand singing "Some day my Prince will come" as a series of frames from the movie pass across the screen; the abandoned concepts section that includes sketches of scenes that were considered, but never developed for the movie; audio containing the rehearsal and taping of a song that was cut from the film; and an English translation of the Grimm's Fairy Tale that a parent can read aloud to a child or an adult can use to compare with the final Disney version. My absolute favorite feature is the "Princess Fashion Boutique" a computerized paper-doll with a closet full of possible outfits. OK, I admit it, I'm not a little girl, but I can imagine if I were, this would really be fun. At first, navigation may seem a little confusing, but after a few wrong turns, it becomes easy.
