Summary: MAGNIFICENT DVD deserves 10 stars
Review: This DVD package is the reason DVDs are in existance. It is an absolutely amazing 2 disk set. I took my VHS copy of "Snow White" and compared scenes with those on the DVD and there is no comparison. The picture, the sound, everything is so much better, clearer and sharper than the VHS - which was itself, wonderful. If someone does not have a DVD, viewing Snow White would casuse them to run, not walk to the nearest store to buy one.

SNOW WHITE is a cinimatic masterpiece. There will never be another animated film to compare to it, even my other Disney favorite "Beauty and the Beast". If it had been made today, there would be computer generated features like shadows and contours of features, but they would not make that much difference in what is basically wonderful.

Compare "Snow White" to the animated "Gulliver's Travels" that was releasted two years later in answer to the Disney film and it is clear how far superior Disney's work is to other animators and story tellers.

There is so much in the 2 disk set beyond the actual film that it would be impossible to comment on all of it. Each segment amplifies and explains the film. Even in some of the games, you learn more about the story and the viewer can appreciate it even more from these features. The cut scenes, the unfinished segments, the character developments, the voice auditions are fascinating. As an adult, after watching these extras, you will have a deeper appreciation of what the film is and how extraordinary the accomplishments are. For a film buff or student it is required viewing.

I grew up with "Snow White". I was a small child when it was first released and one of my first memories of seeing a movie is of "Snow White". I had Snow White toys - would you believe a Dopey ventriloquist doll (I have never been able to figure out why a vent figure was made of a character who never talks) that I still have. When I became a professional puppeteer, "Snow White" became my favorite show to do. Naturally, I had to change parts because of Disney copyrights, so I have a rather complete knowledge of the story from research for my show and from years of seeing the Disney film. Without question, Disney is the BEST and now the DVD is the best of the best.

YOU MUST OWN THIS DVD!!!! =) It is well worth it & you'll be glad you did!

Summary: Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs - Walt Disney's First & Best!
Review: "Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs" was, like said tons of times before, a historic landmark in motion pictures. And now, in 2001, it's DVD release will be a landmark in the DVD industry.
The first release of 10 "Platinum Edition" titles, "Snow White" has received a complete restoration. I was skeptical at how much could be done with a film that was nearly 65 years old. The picture is incredible, makes other DVDs that were "restored" seem like embarassments. It seems like the movie was made a few months ago. The 5.1 mix only added some depth to the music, not much change to anything else. The film's original mono mix is also included.

What struck me most about the film, was that it wasn't dated at all, despite what others may say. You do get a little nostolgic, but that's good. In fact, of all the other films from Disney, none come close to Snow White in any way. Even the recent ones, with all of their advancements in animation, no, they just can not compare.

The DVD showcases tons of extras, listed above. The best ones are "The Making Of Snow White", and "Disney Through The Decades" (even though Disney's history is rushed a little). Things that caught my eye in "The Queens Castle" on Disc 2 were the excerpts from "Tricks Of Our Trade", where Walt Disney shares secrets on how Disney 'toons are done and improved upon using new technologies (many that he invented, i.e The Multi-Plane Camera). A brief documentary on the restoration of the film is fun to watch, in "The Wishing Well". And the vast Galleries of drawings for the film are great to look at.

There is just way too much to review. I've had the DVD for two days, and I still have "The Dwarfs Mine" and "Cottage" to go through. If next year's "Beauty & The Beast: Platinum Edition" is anything like this DVD (and it will be), it will be another essential. Get "Snow White" as soon as you can!

P.S I'm glad to see that Walt Disney Studios are acknowledging in these "Platinum" titles, that these films are not just "kid cartoons" and are including these in-depth extras for movie fans of an older generation

Summary: Great
Review: The film looks better than ever, and the DVD extras are so overwhelming that it will take a week to sort through them all. The disc is fantastically done; Disney has done a great job of restoring their best film and presenting it wonderfully.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So well loved and so delightful
Review: I have had this video for several years. My grandchildren that I babysit with watch it often. They are always wanting to take it home. I am ordering them one now. It is such a delightful movie and the young ones are so intrigued by it. They love the dwarfts and of course Snow White. This world would be so much nicer if only there were more movies like this instead of the blood and guts they see in other movies. Keep releasing more of these giants of Disney. They are wonderful. I have almost the entire collection. My grandchildren can hardly wait for Cinderella to be released. I have it also and dearly love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FAIREST OF THEM ALL
Review: This has got to be one of the best DVDs ever. It's just loaded with extras, not to mention the crystal clear version of the very first animated film ever-----Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The picture is stunning, vivid, and the colors are so perfect. Kids will love it, and adults will be thrilled. Snow White tells the story of a fair-skinned princess and the seven miners who befriend her, an envious queen, a handsome prince, and a dutiful huntsman who doesn't have the heart to murder Snow White. The music is just as fantastic as the movie. Buy it today. I highly recommend it. Besides, you'll want to purchase this landmark DVD before it is placed on moratorium in January of 2002. Get it before it's gone forever!! You won't regret it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Snow White-7 Dwarfs
Review: What a wonderful movie for grandparents and their grandchildren. We had a wonderful time with a bowl of popcorn and wrapped up in blankets to watch this classic! The color and music was awesome-we had such a terrific time watching and enjoying every moment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So jammed packed that there is something for everyone
Review: This has got to be one of the most jammed packed dvd's I have ever seen even my favorite dvd Fight club doesn't have this much. So Even the people who did not like the movie will get a kick out of some of the features. I mean there are deleted scenes for god sakes. I was not a big fan of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs when I first saw it, but watching everything on the dvd I have a big appreciation for what Disney did. I actuall watched the dvd and it is absoultely fantastic. Plus the Remastering of The Film and Audio tracks are first rate and it looks like it just came out yesterday. That's how good it looks. But before you run to the store to buy it rent it first and just watch the movie then buy it and watch the special features. This Dvd is First Rate.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Marvellous Restoration
Review: I can't believe the clarity of this DVD. You could swear that this movie was made yesterday by the eye popping color. I've seen some great restorations but this is by far the best, even moreso considering that this film is now 64 years old. Disney have outdone themselves.

The movie itself is entertaining although it does seem a bit European at times. It does not take place in any particular country but some of the dwarves sound like they are from Kentucky. The abundance of cute animals and a surprisingly cruel villain keep this story watchable. I mean we have heard it a million times before but the dwarves have more character than Snow White who does nothing but look pretty. And who doesn't want the Evil Queen to get what's coming to her.

The supplements on the DVD are MASSIVE and too many to even mention. Let me just say that if you are a fan of the film you certainly WON'T be dissapointed. This baby is loaded and bursting at the seams.

The DVD is in 1.33:1 full frame and is in Dolby 5.1.

Thanx Amazon. :)

Rating: 5 stars
