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

Disney's best animated feature film........2007-07-08
At long last I have a copy of the edition of Snow White I have been waiting for. But no thanks to the Disney people. If they had their way I would be in my grave still waiting for them to reissue the platinum edition. For those of you who are young enough to wait, the wait will be worth it. Last November
I turned 80. Disney averages ten or more years re-releasing Snow White and
The Seven Dwarfs.
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!

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!"
Gift purchase.......2007-01-15
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.

Not bad.......2007-06-29
At first, this seemed to be sort of like Everafter was to Cinderella, albeit on the dark side. The whole talking mirror could have been put down to post-partum psychosis combined with the shock of losing a child (and the ability to reproduce). When the actual magic comes into play, it is almost pointless, and I think the movie would have been better if the focus had been on the psychological rather than trying to squeeze in the supernatural.
That said, Sam Neill and Sigourney Weaver are wonderful. The rest of the cast ... not so much. I wasn't impressed with Lilli, Peter or the mildly-scarred hero.
If it weren't for Sigourney Weaver, this would be mediocre at best. It's worth watching for her performance.
Snow White - A Tale of Terror.......2007-05-09
It's dark and has an interesting take on the classic story. Though the back story of Snow's love interest was lacking, it's still a keeper.
Snow's love interest ... I like to think that he was the son of a noble family, and his parents had opinions that others didn't agree with, which is why they were attacked.
Sigourney rocks in Snow White.......2007-02-08
Snow White as it was meant to be. Signourney and Sam are at their best in this dark and scary rendition of Snow White. Not for the faint of heart.
Sogornweve Fans.......2007-01-10
this movie is not ment for the kids this movie is ment for the adults. but let me tell you this is one movie that will knock your socks right off. injoy the movie and go and grab this movie before its too late. buy it for your collection. all thumbs up for this movie. and the twist of it all is a fair tall that you have not seen in you life time. its great for the adult but again not for the kids. tks.
Quite a different tale!.......2006-09-04
Sigourney Weaver was PERFECT as the evil stepmother. You know this from the very start, when she is first introduced in the movie. No, it's not a fairytale for kiddies, but if you like horror - you will like this version.

Customer Reviews:
wonderful Cannon MovieTale version.......2007-05-21
It's very rare to have a screen version of SNOW WHITE that tries to stay faithful to the original Grimm Brothers fairytale. This rendition, part of the fabulous Cannon MovieTales series, does tell the story with a faithful eye to the original material.
Young Snow White flees into the forest after her jealous stepmother the Queen (Diana Rigg) tries to have her killed. The girl finds a safe haven with seven dwarfs, but her life is threatened once more when the Queen discovers her hiding-place. After several thwarted attempts to kill her, the Queen conjures up a poisoned apple...
As in the original Grimm Brothers story, this version depicts the Queen in several disguises trying to kill Snow White, using a tight-fitting bodice, a poisoned Japanese hair-comb, and finally the poison apple.
Diana Rigg plays the evil Queen with relish. Nicola Stapleton plays little Snow White, with Sarah Patterson ("The Company of Wolves") playing the older incarnation.
The Cannon MovieTales series was filmed--rather economically--in Israel, where producers had access to a wide range of appropriate locations. Most of the films have now found their way to DVD (the series also includes "Hansel & Gretel", "Rumplestiltskin", "Sleeping Beauty", "The Frog Prince", "Red Riding Hood", and "Beauty & the Beast").
(Single-sided, single-layer disc).
snow white! much better than the disney version!.......2007-01-29
I have seen several version of the beloved fairytale and this has to be the best one i've seen. I enjoy the disney version but this one sticks to the origional grimm story. The queen gets snow white with the corset,the comb,and the apple. I also think the romance is more touching than the disney version and that is what i love about fairy tales. The songs are more catchy as well. I like "everyday","the one i long for",and "let it snow" I have seen this cannon movie tale and sleeping beauty and really enjoyed both and i recomend them to anyone who loves live action fairy tales or at all.
Grimm story reborn........2006-06-26
Brothers Grimm stories are far less cutesy than we think. This version is much closer to the original German story without being quite so grotesque. It is certainly closer (and in a way more interesting) than Walt Disney's version. I don't like the names for the dwarves (there Disney is at least more memorable). The Dwarves are very good, led by Billy Barty. Diana Rigg as the Queen must have loved doing this stuff. She is to the hilt and just shy of over the top. Delightful. The King is okay, the 1st queen not so hot. Young Snow White is just too precious, but the grown up heroine is very good. The songs are okay to very good. They aren't wonderful, but they don't jump out as awful either.
The Fairest One of All!.......2006-05-20
Legendary stars Billy Barty and Diana Rigg bring one of the world's most beloved fairy tales to life in the Cannon Movie Tale, "Snow White." Starring beautiful and charming Sarah Patterson (The Company of Wolves) in the title role as the princess who fled her wicked, jealous, and murderous stepmother's castle as a child, "Snow White" tells the tale of how the princess is taken in by seven kindly dwarfs living in a cottage in the forest. As the dwarfs go off to dig in their mines each day, Snow White cooks and keeps house for years, growing into a sweet and lovely young woman. But, as Snow White grows ever more beautiful, the evil queen grows ever more jealous. Consulting her magic mirror and book of spells for ways to terminate Snow White, the dwarfs must repeatedly undo her vicious magic. It seems the final spell is beyond even the dwarfs abilities to break though. Their only hope lies in a young prince who is returning home from a long journey still seeking a great discovery to satisfy the longing in his heart.
"Snow White" sits among the best of the nine wonderful Cannon Movie Tales, which are among the best live-action fairy tale films available to date. Sticking more closely to the original stories from the Brothers Grimm, "Snow White" and the other Cannon tales mix in simple but fun-filled songs with fantastic casts and writing that blends realism and fantasy seamlessly. "Snow White" features some of the best songs in the lot, and it's clear that Diana Rigg really has a ball with her villainous role. It's so terrific that these childhood favorites many of us remember from the Disney Channel's 1980's and early 90's glory are finally available on DVD (most of them at least). The DVDs include trailers (not sure if these films ran anywhere theatrically), and "Snow White" is the only one of the four that I currently own that is presented in a letterbox format (though not much of one). The Cannon Movie Tales are mostly family fun, though be warned that some can have their scary moments (for example, "Red Riding Hood," my favorite, is done as a werewolf story that at times may be a bit frightening). The other Cannon Movie Tales, all of which I highly recommend, are: Rumpelstiltskin, The Emperor's New Clothes, Red Riding Hood, Puss In Boots, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast, The Frog Prince, and Sleeping Beauty. Those last two have not yet been released to DVD, and I have yet to see Rumpelstiltskin at any retail stores, though Amazon seems to carry it. I wish to get them all, but currently only own my favorites: Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Puss In Boots (starring Christopher Walken!), and Hansel and Gretel. Fairy tale fanatics should own all these films, and I also highly recommend my top favorites, the Disney animated versions. Also, for a scarier version of Snow White, pick up the outstanding, "Snow White: A Tale of Terror," starring the beautiful Monica Keena. More recommendations: Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre collection (also best known from the Disney Channel airings), Shrek and Shrek 2, The Slipper and the Rose (for a live-action Cinderella), Ever After (another live-action Cinderella), The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996), Peter Pan (2003), The Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz, and Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1965) among others!
snow white.......2006-03-02
When i saw this version of Snow White, it became my vavorite. It brought this fairy tale to life better than I have ever seen,
it stayed with the Brothers Grimm story very well. I have also
seen their Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, and Rumplestltskin
all of these have been a favorite of mine.
Average customer rating:
- A classic revisited with a touch more magic
- fair and slightly liberated
- Fairest movie of them all

Product Description
There is perhaps no more beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tale than the legend of a beautiful young girl fleeing her home because of a jealous stepmother. Now more breath-taking than any previous interpretation, Snow White: The Fairest Of Them All is a fantasy of truly epic scope. Wonderfully acted and cleverly scripted, this modern retelling introduces such classic elements as Snow White's miraculous birth and the mysterious reason why her father remarries after his wife's death. Miranda Richardson (Enchanted April, Merlin) stars as Queen Elspeth, the beautiful, yet vain stepmother whose desire to be the "fairest in the land" ultimately leads her to conspire to kill any rival for that title. Kristin Kreuk ("Smallville") stars as Snow White, the winsome young princess who is forced to run away into the forest where she finds protection and shelter with a band of peculiar little men. Snow White: The Fairest Of Them All is a magical adventure with such dazzling special effects and unforgettable characters that it will instantly capture the hearts- and imagination- of a whole new generation.

Don't expect to plunk your 4-year-old in front of Hallmark's Snow White and have her come away whistling "Heigh Ho"--it's not that kind of movie. Substitute a kingdom of woeful and broody characters (the fairest-of-them-all contenders and their king, plus a green and warty undead guy) for Sleepy, Sneezy, and company, and the picture, a bleak one, becomes clearer. Call it Snow White noir, but don't call it dull. The actors, including Miranda Richardson and Tom Irwin, suck you into their saga of lust and greed by making despair their specialty, and the visuals crackle with a creepy gorgeousness. Writer-director Caroline Thompson sheared this Brothers Grimm adaptation into shape using the same jagged-edged prettiness she brought to the script for Edward Scissorhands; a similar audience--one that can handle a little less light in its darkness--should stick around for Snow White. -Tammy La Gorce
Customer Reviews:
A classic revisited with a touch more magic.......2006-11-04
The story of Snow White is one of the most famous by the Brothers Grimm, and this version by Hallmark is probably the most recent revision. It is also the one with the most magic, and is one of Hallmark's better movies. Snow White this time is born of by the prick of a rose on her mother's finger. Childbirth kills the mother and sends the father out into the cold winter with his daughter. Their desperation brings one of Satan's servants to life, who grants the father three wishes (what other number could it be). The first two wishes turn out well, but the third brings forth Elspeth, i.e. the wicked stepmother. Baby Snow White senses the evil stepmother immediately by crying when they are about to touch. What ensues is a lifelong rivalry in which Elspeth uses her magic to slowly take over the kingdom. This includes her mirror, which can fly. The seven dwarfs are not all short, but instead they now represent the 7 colors of the rainbow, and hence can travel across distances by "rainbowing" themselve. Animals of various sorts get involved, and the battle climaxes with the poisoned apple. Elspeth's evil is undone by the love of a prince, and Elspeth herself is taken down by her own evil creations.
The movie is about two hours long, and moves briskly along from one scene to the next. There is no singing, instead the music is orchestral in the style of classical Romance. The cinematography is great and the special effects are quite nice and believable. The overall story is the same as the original Disney version but many of the details have changed to make it quite distinct and unique. Overall, a good movie.
fair and slightly liberated.......2006-07-29
I saw this movie when it first aired on TV and have been looking for it again ever since (so it's been a while since I've seen it). As previously noted the visuals are very nice and the rendition of the story is not bad, but the key part for me was when the Handsome Prince declares his love for Snow White and she lashes back with a speech about how he doesn't know her, he's fallen in love with a vision from across the room. All her life she's been surrounded by people who don't look past the surface of her beauty...
Fairest movie of them all.......2006-06-17
Snow white is my favorite fairy tale, and this is my favorite rendition. It's far closer to the original tale than most, but it addsi many of it's own elements that give it a fresh new approach. I love it!
the best movie.......2005-09-12
this is kind of a remake of the original movie made.
the first time I saw this movie was when it was on TV in the holidays I thought that this movie was grand its one of my many favourite movies its based of the same charactors but the dwarfs names are the days of the week instead of doppy and all that when snow white was born hear mother died and her father was pore so a magic gennie thing came and granted them a wish that they will live in a castle and live happily ever after
Great version of snow white that's a little more mature.......2005-09-08
its not the cheesy disney version, though it has its own cheese with the rainbow kids. But I enjoyed the movie because it takes the Snow White story to a more mature level. Its sweet and very pretty cinematically speaking. Its entertaining above all else, which is key when looking for a way to spend some relaxation time.

This staggeringly gorgeous interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale The Snow Queen began as a concert of the pretty music by Paul K. Joyce. The story is told in broad strokes: A mother (Juliet Stevenson, Truly Madly Deeply) and her daughter Gerda (teen soprano Sydney White, who's been tearing up the musical stages in England) take in a homeless boy named Kay. When Kay disappears, kidnapped by the vampiric Snow Queen (ancestress to the White Witch of Narnia, no doubt), Gerda sets off in pursuit and comes across helpful ravens, talking flowers, moving statues, and benevolent reindeer in the course of her hero-journey. The wholly digital world created for this film is astonishing; much of it looks like hand-painted Victorian photographs, each image suitable for framing. Ironically, as the story grows more magical, the imagery turns more conventionally "fantastic" (the Snow Queen's arctic lair is a bit like Superman's Fortress of Solitude). But the overall texture of the movie is engagingly stylized, with movement that seems staggered yet graceful, like a silent film. The Snow Queen demonstrates that digital technology can make a more ethereal aesthetic as vivid and startling as a slimy alien or a bigger explosion. --Bret Fetzer
Description
Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale comes to life in an enchanting mix of music and song, live drama and stunning animation. When Gerda and her mother take in the penniless beggar boy, Kay, powerful forces come into play that will take both children on a magical journey and test their friendship to the extreme. One cold winter night a splinter of ice pierces Kay's eye, turning his heart cold and making him angry and unhappy. He is enchanted by the Snow Queen and taken to her palace in the frozen North. Gerda decides that she must do whatever she can to find her friend. Faith, love and courage lead Gerda on a perilous quest through many strange lands. Will the little girl in the red velvet cloak be able to match the power of the Snow Queen?
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful Imagery, but Incredibly Hokey!.......2007-06-27
The only thing good about this movie is how beautiful it LOOKS! It looks like a moving painting, but it is a disapointment with the acting! Fairy tales, at their best, are able to draw in both the young and the old, but this production failed to do that. I could see how childhood innocence was apart of the spirit of the movie, but there was something sooooooo cheesy about the acting, that I'm afraid only preschoolers would find no fault with this film!
entrancing.......2007-03-11
This movie (suitable for adults, teens, or children) is (with a few changes) based on Hans Christian Anderson's mythical story.
It is a story about becoming bewitched, and it is a bewitching movie. The dreamlike quality of the production takes you in as if you yourself were experiencing an enchanting dream.
Gerda's pure love for her friend Kay is unwavering despite the fact that he changes and becomes "cruel and unkind". When others call him a rascal and naughty and ungrateful, and then forget him, Gerda holds out hope for him, not only by journeying at great risk and suffering to find him, but also by hoping for the return of his true self.
Her love brings forth the goodness in others (like the robber maiden), conquers the icy evil of the Queen, and restores Kay to his true self.
The movie manages to convey these themes of faith and innocence and good vs evil in a sensitive way without being overly sentimental or juvenile.
A beautiful painting in motion.......2007-03-08
What an magical rendition of the Snow Queen fairy tale. I have watched multiple versions of the Hans Christine Anderson story and this is by far the most impressive one. It is filmed in such away that you almost appear to be watching an enchanted painting that has sprung to life. The story itself focuses on the trait of compassion, the value of family and the strong pure love of children. Gerda and her mother take Kay in from the cold and give him a warm loving place to live. When the Snow Queen does take Kay, Gerda's love for her adopted brother know no bounds and she sets out after him. Through many fantastic landscapes and after encountering individuals both helpful and hindering, Gerda finds the strength within and does the impossible. A true tale of family love and the lengths at which we go to help those we value deeply.
With a Twist.......2007-02-08
I truly liked it! It was a little different from other I have seen! Icame to ejoy the way it was presented and it had a little twist of difference when she looking for the boy she befriended. Many differnt travels than otheers I seen. It is a Keeper!
GORGEOUS ANIMATED FILM.......2007-02-06
Imagine all your Victorian styled Christmas cards coming to life and you'll have some idea about the sumptuous animation of this BBC tv movie. Although only a little under an hour long, the movie floats along ethereally with brilliant animation, some Enya-like music (voiced by Gerda, Sydney White) and a fairyland paperweight comes to life. The film almost has a silent movie feel to it, with jerky motions and off-beat colorizations, but it's delightfully entertaning and different.

Did not work.......2006-03-22
The DVD was formated wrong or a defect because neither of my DVD players could read it. It would probably cost more to ship it back.
A fine animated film for children!.......2005-05-03
Once again, I find myself in need of defending an animated children's film from an adult who criticizes it because the children's film doesn't please adults (Since when are they supposed to?).
This Goodtimes version of Snow White tells the real Grimms' tale in a more true way than the Disney version, which told the tale beautifully but added elements to make the film more fun and sometimes took it away from the original classic story. A young girl named Snow White, hated by her evil stepmother, the Queen, rans away from her domains to find a new, safer home with the dwarfs at their cottage. There, Snow White agrees to help out with house chores while they go to work in order the gain to stay there. Soon, the dwarfs each begin loving Snow White as family and will worry about leaving her home alone when they discover that the queen wants to get rid of her.
Now, animation isn't the best Goodtimes has ever done, but since the film is for children and meant to be enjoyed by children, they will not pay any attention to the weak animation. The movie is around 50 minutes long, short enough for children to watch it through easily (Unlike some Disney films which drag on forever into nothing like "Atlantis - The Lost Empire"). I recommend this film for children, not for adults that can't stand bad animation and not for adults that can't realize a children's film isn't supposed to please adults.
It's really not a bargain.......2004-09-14
The animation is crude and the music is monotonous. I have to admit that it holds my 3-year old's attention, but any adult will find it unbearable. There is not even the slightest comparison to the Disney classics and I will be tossing this out and replacing it immediately.

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.
At Last on DVD!!!.......2004-11-26
This was my favorite version of Snow White as a child! I am so happy that it is finally on DVD!!!

Many Stooges fans will find Snow White and the Three Stooges painful going, while some might find it quite charming. The film was conceived as a vehicle for Carol Heiss, the 1960 Olympic figure skating champion, but it was obvious that her limited acting would not carry the classic plot very far. So the Three Stooges were substituted for the Seven Dwarfs, and Prince Charming (Edson Stroll) became their companion. The start and end of the film follow the Disney version fairly closely, with Patricia Medina providing the only real acting as the Wicked Queen, abetted by the reliable villainy of Guy Rolfe.
In fact, Snow White lost in the woods is almost a frame-by-frame copy of the Disney sequence, complete with a live tree out of the 1939 Wizard of Oz. This might grab some youngsters' attention by frightening them and some by amusing them, but the love sequences and the forgettable songs might bore them. The fight sequences are possibly too grisly for some children; Guy Rolfe dies by falling into a vat of boiling oil.
As a Three Stooges vehicle, it differs from their other films. Except for Curly Joe's spoonerisms, there is little humor in the dialogue, a bare minimum of slaps (without the reassuring comic sounds), and no eye pokes. (Moe was sensitive to parental complaints about their television shorts.) There is, however, a touching moment when they are mourning the supposed death of Snow White. And you do get to see them in color. --Frank Behrens
Description
The world's greatest fairy tale is about to get a few new and hilarious wrinkles. For starters, it's all live action as Snow White takes to the ice in the person of 1960 Olympic figure skating champion, Carol Heiss. Then, standing in for the Seven Dwarfs,

fairytale classic given a new spin.......2007-05-26
While it doesn't exactly follow the storyline of the original fairytale, SNOW WHITE & THE THREE STOOGES comes alive with comedy, romance and action. This film was tailored as a showcase for five-time Olympic champion iceskater Carol Heiss, and while she lacks the dramatic finesse of a true actress, she deeply feels the role of Snow White and does a fine job.
In this version of the tale, the Wicked Queen (played with aplomb by B-movie bad girl Patricia Medina) plots to kill lovely Snow White (Carol Heiss) as well as the prince of a neighbouring kingdom. Both plans flounder, and the two royal refugees find solace in the company of a wandering minstrel trio (played by--of course--the Three Stooges). What follows is a wonderful mix of comedy, adventure and breathless romance as Snow White and her Prince Charming skate towards their "sky of happiness".
As an all-skating, all-musical version of SNOW WHITE, this version hits the mark beautifully. Playing the thankless role of the Prince Charming is no easy assignment, but Edson Stroll does what he can with the part--most of the time he just stands around looking pretty, but what else does a fairytale prince do? Likewise, Carol Heiss rarely rises above the level of department-store mannequin in her performance as Snow White, but achieves what she can, and really comes alive with her ice-skating routines.
Patricia Medina manages to hold back in her rendering of the Wicked Queen; it would have been so easy for the role to be done in a high-camp style, but Ms Medina stays true to the material and plays it straight. The Three Stooges likewise curb their usual comic schtick, and it does make a refreshing and welcome change. They could sometimes be subtle, and the proof is right here.
The production values are indeed lavish. The director, Walter Lang, almost bankrupted the Twentieth Century-Fox studios with his incredible ice-rink sets, and there several wonderful skating sequences to savour, including a "Dream Ballet" for Stroll and Heiss. The musical numbers do little to advance the plot, but are very pretty, and highlights include "Magic Day" and "That Place Called Happiness".
As with any film version of a fairytale classic, it's hard not to get caught up in the romance and adventure--the same is true for SNOW WHITE & THE THREE STOOGES.
The DVD includes both widescreen and full-frame versions of the film, plus the trailer. (Double-sided, single-layer disc).
The best yet of their work.......2007-04-05
By far I think picture this picture was has the best of their work, however, I may not have seen them all, wasn't there a movie with them going west?
Charming children's fantasy by OZ's Noel Langley, best for family viewing but Stoogeheads should see this at least once.......2007-03-19
SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES is unique in the Stooges' filmography. It is NOT a burlesque of the famous fairy tale. The title conjures up visions of The Three Stooges being clumsy and noisy and violent and generally making a shambles of the story. If that's what you like about The Three Stooges, this picture will probably be a disappointment. But if you're a serious Stooge buff who tries to see everything the team ever filmed, the Stooges will surprise you in this. They're mellower than usual and you'll see them actually doing the most dramatic acting of their careers, especially by Moe Howard (very effective in a bereavement scene, with broken voice and subtle gestures).
In this costume piece, Moe, Larry, and Curly-Joe play itinerant peddlers (shades of their roles in 1951's GOLD RAIDERS) who rescue an orphaned boy from attack, and years later befriend a young girl who fears for her life. The boy turns out to be Prince Charming and the girl is Snow White, and the Stooges do everything in their power to protect them from the wicked Queen and her assassins.
There are familiar story elements in this, courtesy of none other than Noel Langley, the screenwriter who adapted THE WIZARD OF OZ and the 1951 SCROOGE. Langley's script hits all the right notes as the story unfolds. (You'll recognize the "forest," "hourglass," "three protectors," and "wicked witch" elements from OZ.) Stooge screenwriter Elwood Ullman contributed material for the Stooges, but it's much gentler than usual and more in keeping with the "Snow White" story. There is only one brief slapstick episode, with character comic Herbie Faye (familiar as "Fender" in Sgt. Bilko's platoon) on the receiving end of several pies. Faye acts and sounds like Shemp Howard!
The production itself is handsome and elaborate, with superb color photography by ace Fox cameraman Leon Shamroy and good direction by Fox veteran Walter Lang. Carol Heiss will probably impress more with her skating than her acting, but she fills the demands of the role well. Edson Stroll is the juvenile lead and this is probably his biggest role (more footage than in his many years on "McHale's Navy" combined). Patricia Medina and Guy Rolfe are quite effective as the villains; Rolfe is reminiscent of Basil Rathbone in Errol Flynn's costume epics.
The double-sided DVD includes both the widescreen and full-screen versions, as well as the long theatrical trailer. The restoration job is superior: picture is excellent and the sound is remarkable.
This makes a good family-matinee show. If you DON'T like the Stooges, try this: you'll like their quieter brand of humor here. If you're a student of the Stooges, see it for the team's dramatics. If you only watch the Stooges for the slam-bang action and physical mayhem, you won't find them here, but it's worth a look: you might discover new things to like about the Stooges.
Are you people insane?.......2007-01-22
What's with all of the favorable reviews on here?!? Snow White and the Three Stooges was one of the worst movies I've ever seen...EVER. I love the Stooges, and it was really pitiful to watch three of the funniest men in the history of comedy lower themselves to these depths. Not a single second of this movie is even remotely funny. If you're really interested in watching Moe Howard frolick around with Snow White on ice skates, this film is for you. Otherwise, avoid at all costs.
Family veiwing.......2007-01-16
Skating in this film was a real life experience. However, much of the skating was cut from this film so you must enjoy the comedy of the Three Stooges which is entertaining for the kids of all ages.

Amazing!.......2006-04-16
Cant wait for the next one based on Jack and The Beanstalk and the 2 bonus pre-school daze versions, AND WHY WONT THEY RELEASE THEM ON REGION 2? hmmmmm PLEASE REALEASE IT ON REGION 2 HERE IN LONDON!
Here thar' be (diapered) dwarves!.......2006-01-14
We purchased this DVD a while after it aired on Nickelodeon. We love the DVD and I will explain its features.
In this DVD, Taffy the babysitter tells the Rugrats the classic story of Snow White. Susie stars as Snow White, Angelica stars as the evil queen, and Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Dil, Kimi and Spike star as the 7 dwarves.
From there, the fairy tale becomes an exciting journey, full of fun events and great music. Songs include "Do It Together" and the hilarious "Diaper Factory Song."
Also included on this DVD are 2 episodes from a new Rugrats series "Preschool Daze" featuring Susie and Angelica. We love the episodes and hope these and more will soon air on Nickeloden.
Over all, 5 stars. Simply a must-have for those who enjoy the Rugrats.
this dvd is cute!!!.......2005-11-18
I bought this dvd preordered i was happy with the results when is jack and the beanstalk coming out?my son loves the rugrats so do i i can't wait for more dvds to come out think that they should make more espoides for this generation of kids rugrats are great for kids and teaches values and fun at the same time
A great movie!.......2005-11-11
If you're wondering that this is going to be just like the regular Rugrats you see on T.V., think again! "Tales from the Crib" gives viewers a new twist on their favorite babies and childhood fairy tales. Taffy, the Rugrats' babysitter, tells the stories to the babies, who give it their own Rugrats twist. In "Snow White", Susie plays the title character, Angelica (of course) plays the evil queen, and the babies along with Spike play the seven dwarves. This is a very good direct-to-DVD movie and will probably never air on television. This is very hard to find in stores and is not available to rent. Also, this DVD features two episodes of the Rugrats spin-off, "Pre-School Daze", which has not yet airred in the U.S. Those episodes are very fun to watch and the theme song is very catchy. I would reccomend this DVD to anyone.
