Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney Special Platinum Edition)

Starring:Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs
Studio: Walt Disney Video
Product Type: DVD

Amazon.com essential video

One of the brightest nuggets from Disney's golden age, this 1937 film is almost dizzying in its meticulous construction of an enchanted world, with scores of major and minor characters (including fauna and fowl), each with a distinct identity. When you watch Snow White's intricate, graceful movements of fingers, arms, and head all in one shot, it is not the technical brilliance of Disney's artists that leaps out at you, but the very spirit of her engaging, girl-woman character. When the wicked queen's poisoned apple turns from killer green to rose red, the effect of knowing something so beautiful can be so terrible is absolutely elemental, so pure it forces one to surrender to the horror of it. Based on the Grimm fairy tale, Snow White is probably the best family film ever to deal, in mythic terms, with the psychological foundation for growing up. It's a crowning achievement and should not be missed. --Tom Keogh

Terrible doing business with you.......2007-06-18

One star is actually very generous! I waited over 3 weeks after placing my order to contact the seller. His response to my inquiry of the shipping information was "Please allow 2 weeks for delivery". He didn't even take notice of the attachment containing the original invoice that showed we were already past that delivery date. I sent another email pointing this out, and again, I asked for the information of when and how the item was shipped. We are 9 days past that email, and I haven't heard a word. BUYERS BEWARE

Also, this was supposed to be a birthday gift for my 4 year old...maybe it will make it by Christmas!!!!

"With A Smile And A Song" ~ The Birth Of An American Dynasty .......2007-04-07

To truly appreciate this film one should remember that `Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' was released in '37 making it's production an incredible achievement in animation considering the overall state of the art at the time. This film was the spring board for the many Disney classics to follow in the years ahead making it a classic by that standard alone.

However having that said, after all these years the film can still stand on its own merits. The animation is enjoyable, the soundtrack is enchanting, at times haunting and the seven dwarfs are beloved by millions around the world. It may not be technically the best of Disney's animated films but it was the benchmark of all that was to follow and still has a loyal fan base after all these years. A true classic.

THIS IS HOW ALL THE PLATINUM EDITIONS SHOULD BE DONE!.......2007-03-07

I was amazed how fantasic this film looked in the 2 disc Platinum Edition DVD! It is hard to believe this gem is 70 years old! The restoration is nothing short of incredible and there are tons of worthwhile extras too! I'm glad to see nothing was censored in this film! This is the way to treat all the Disney animated classics, completely restored and unedited with lots of extras. Come on Disney! Haven't we given you enough of our money!? Please stop editing these historical pieces and give them the treatment they deserve. If you must edit them, then release them both ways. One for the poor kiddie's parents who can't deal with some "PC" stereotypes and one for the purist who want to keep things they way they were meant to be seen!

snow white the movie that started it all!.......2007-02-09

I just recieved my copy of this dvd set and it was worth every penny and arrived quickly. It was beautifully remastered. It looks and sounds much better than my vhs copy. I now have a complete collection of the disney princess collection on dvd and I'm soooo happy about it! Thanks amazon for having available all these out of print titles. I loooooove this website!

Wonderful.......2007-01-19

This is an absolute wonderful classic. Our daughter watched this 3 times the first night we got this. I had not seen this since I was a young kid...what wonderful memories.

This is a must have!!!

Product Description

Plot Outline Snow White, pursued by a jealous queen, hides with the Dwarfs; the queen feeds her a poison apple, but Prince Charming awakens her with a kiss. Plot Synopsis: The first, and by far most memorable full-length animated feature from the Disney Studios, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" may have been superseded technically by many of the films that followed it. But its simple story of a charming little princess saved from the evil deeds of her wicked step-mother, the queen, by a group of seven adorable dwarfs made history when it was first released in December, 1937 and has since become an incomparable screen classic.

The One That Started It All And Still The Fairest In The Land........2007-06-15

Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs 2-Disc Disney DVD is a spectacular creation and an excellent use for the DVD format. I am a 15-year old boy and this movie still amazzes me every time I watch it. It is a loving fairy tale and this dvd makes it even better. On the first disc you have the movie digitally restored, not the best, but read more about this below. There is "Still The Fairest Of Them All: The Making Of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs." There's an Animated Short: Goddess Of Spring, and much more. On the second disc you will see: abandoned concepts, restoration, the history of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, many galleries, filled with thousands of photos, deleted scenes, "Disney Through The Decades"-a timeline of Disney, posters, trailers, vintage audio, production photos, and many, many more.

Now ther is one inconvenience: the restoration. We all agree Snow White looks better than ever, but there were some errors I noticed. For one thing the sound restoration. If you look at the scene where snow white is at the cottage, she says, "I know. We'll clean the house and surprise them" Then there is a little static, then she says, "Then maybe they'll let me stay." Then ther's the picture quality. The picture looks better than ever, but still there many errors that I saw, but I'll only point out a few of them. There's this one scene when the dwarfs are lookin at Snow White when she's sinnging "Some Day My Prince Will Come." I you look at the bottom left corner of the screen there is a green spot that is on the screen. There is also this one scene when the witch is getting into her boat. When she does, it shakes and white puffiness comes onto the stone walls. There is also dirt scattered throughout the film. Some are noticeable some you have to look at for a feww seconds to see them. I think this dvd is the best, but I think they should re-release it with it re-restored. But I still love the dvd, and everything in it too. The best ever.

The One That Started It All........2007-06-02

Snow White, as many people know, was Walt Disney's first animated feature, and many people still hold it dear to their hearts.

It's the story of a girl, who's wicked stepmother, the Queen, has forced her to become a servant in her own castle. The Queen has a Magic Mirror, which speaks to her, and answers her question, "who is the fairest of them all?"

While the mirror had always answered her that she was, it one day answers Snow White. The Queen, being the jealous woman she is, sends her huntsman to kill Snow White. He can't bring himself to kill her, so she runs away, and finds herself at the cottage of the seven dwarfs.

The dwarfs take her in, and she promises to cook and clean for them. The Queen finds out that she's alive, and sets off to kill her herself.

The movie does have it's scary parts, the dungeon scene, the forest scene, and its final battle between the dwarfs and the Queen. But of course, like all Disney movies, it has a happy ending.

The two-disc platinum DVD release is the best yet, with lots of bonus features, including a half hour documentary "The Making of Snow White," sing-alongs, music videos, games, commentary, an animated short, virtual galleries, story lines not used in the film, deleted scenes, trailers for the original and re-releases, and, my favorite bonus feature; "Disney Through the Decades," a look at Disney's animated film history from Snow White's release to the new century.

Snow White's dream comes true!.......2007-04-12

Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs is simply enchanting. We got the DVD a few months back, but just saw it with a group of children that were visiting and chose this to be the entertainment of the night. The quality is superb, the sound magnificent. Soon we found ourselves immersed in the story of a queen who is vain and wicked, trying hard to forever be the fairest in the land.

Snow White grows to be a very beautiful princess and soon, the enchanted mirror tells the Queen that she is no longer the most beautiful, the title now goes to Snow White.

Jealousy and envy drive the queen to attempt to eliminate the fair princess. Snow White meets the seven dwarfs, who live in the forest, and we find ourselves singing right along with them... "Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's home from work we go, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho."

The creatures of the forest are marvelous as they help Snow White with daily chores. Some of the most endearing moments in movie history. In the end, love saves the day... and Snow White has her dream come true. Unforgettable song: "some day my prince will come, some day we'll meet again, and away to his castle we'll go, to be happy forever I know."

"Some day when spring is here, we'll find our love anew, and the birds will sing, and wedding bells will ring, some day when my dreams come true!"

This was a gift order for my niece. Once again, as with all products purchased from Amazon.com, the DVD arrived well packaged and in time for Christmas. My niece is very happy and satisfied with this product.

For Your Princess.......2006-09-26

It's so wonderful to live in a time when Disney's strange behavior of taking their classics off the market can be circumvented by great Internet marketers like Amazon. I was able to buy this 5 Star Disney Princess classic recently for my young princess through one of Amazon's third-party sellers. And without that opportunity, my little princess may have outgrown Snow White by the time Disney released it again.

Let me just say that my little one was absolutely captivated by Snow White, and to think that she would be deprived by Disney itself from seeing it at her perfect age is criminal.

The story is familiar enough to any parent, so I won't go on about that other than to say that of all the Disney Princess classics, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty have some scenes that might scare a young princess under the age of 5.

But you should take advantage of purchasing Snow White or any of the other "off-the-market" Disney princess classics like Beauty and the Beast now via one of this site's resellers if you have a little princess of your own that might not appreciate it as much when Disney decides that it's time.

And indeed, you will enjoy Snow White or any of the other Princess classics as thoroughly as your young one.

Side Note on Resellers: Beware of exorbitant reseller prices; renting may be a better option if available. Also beware of REGION 2 resales; Region 2 DVDs will not play in most US DVD players. Look for Region 1 US Amazon resellers.

THE BEST "SNOW WHITE" EVER: PRAISE DUVALL, NOT DISNEY!!.......2007-07-03

God bless Shelley Duvall for offering an alternative to, and saving our treasured fairy tales from, the violating clutches of Walt Disney! Duvall's outstanding "Faerie Tale Theatre", along with the admirable Cannon Movie Tales series, proves that the Disney Version IS NOT THE ONLY version of classic stories worth viewing. One reviewer exspressed disappointment that this "SNOW WHITE" does not have the Seven Dwarfs singing "Heigh-Ho" or a singing, soprano, air-head Snow White. Well, if you want the Disney versions, the Disney versions are still around. I like my fairy tales presented with live actors, more depth, humor, and fidelity to the original stories. For all this, I can't praise Shelley Duvall enough. This "SNOW WHITE", along with the Cannon Movie Tales version, is the best ever. It easily leaves Disney in the dust! You get the story without the unnecessary slapstick touches from Disney, and without the sappy songs. The musical underscoring in this version is quite lovely. Directed by Peter Medak from a teleplay by Robert C. Jones.
Don't mess with Vanessa Redgrave as the Evil Queen here. Redgrave certainly does not treat the material as "kiddie stuff" here. In fact, she offers one of the finest performances of her illustrious career. Casting Vincent Price as her Magic Mirror was a stroke of sheer genius. The interplay between Redgrave and Price is perfectly priceless. Elizabeth McGovern is perfectly lovely as Snow White. Rex Smith makes a very handsome and sexy prince. Lou Carry, Tony Cox, Billy Curtis, Phil Fondacaro, Daniel Frishman, Peter Risch, and Kevin Thompson star as the Seven Dwarfs, who, in this version, all have names that begin with the letter "B." The Dwarfs are very humorous and funny. One of the Dwarfs refers to Snow White as "my favorite big person."
The underlying themes of the values that make a person truly beautiful, inside and out, and the values of true, real friendship, are strongly conveyed in this production.

Fun and entertaining.......2007-02-02

Great series for adults as well. Our grandkids had a lot of giggles watching this.

Very disappointing.......2006-06-11

I agree Elizabeth McGovern was a suitable Snow White, but the story is so different from the Disney version that it should not be called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The wicked queen certainly did not look like a wicked witch. Very poor casting. The dwarfs were ill-mannered and contentious, and we missed not hearing "Hi, Ho". In other words, we were very disappointed in this version.

A sucessful blend of comedy and traditional fancy.......2006-02-20

With her lips as red as rubies, hair black as ebony, and skin as white as snow, our heroine Princess Snow White (Elizabeth McGovern) is the most beautiful in the land. This is much a curse as blessing, and earns her the muderous jealousy of her stepmother, (Vanesa Redgrave) the queen of the land, and the former most beautiful in all the land. Fortunately for Snow White, she has the loyalty of seven drarfs who take her in, but ultimately cannot protect her from the queen's scheme to see her lovely, innocent stepdaughter dead. Can the love of a handsome prince save our innocent Snow White from a premature death?

Ms. Redgrave is perfect in this role. Unlike some versions, she's lovely enough to convince us she could be a runner-up in the beauty department. She's brings the humor to her wicknedness, and her scenes in front of the witty, longer-suffering mirror, (Vincent Price) had me in stitches. Ms. McGovern brings Snow White's innocence/naivete to the forefront, and looks pretty. Alas, not much is needed for this character. The real female with meat to sink her teeth into is the queen.

The dwarfs are an endearing bunch, always good for additional laugh. The stand out performance is by Tony Cox who plays Bubba. The prince fell a little flat with me. There was zero chemistry between him and his leading lady, but thankfully, there are only about five minutes of the movie left by the time they meet, so it doesn't do too much damage.

I reccomend this for the young, and the young at heart.

This was my favorite version of Snow White as a child! I am so happy that it is finally on DVD!!!
