Amazon.co.uk Review
ISnow White and the Seven Dwarfs/I was nicknamed "Disney's Folly" by contemporary observers; they doubted that the short cartoons shown before the main film could ever successfully make the transition from filler to feature presentation. Surely, no one would sit still for over an hour to watch an animated film, their eyes smarting from the bright colours on screen? Fortunately, Walt Disney and his army of artists persisted and the world's first full-length animated feature was finally released in 1937 to widespread acclaim.pAdapted from the Grimm fairytale, ISnow White and the Seven Dwarfs/I is chillingly dark in places, reflecting its roots in European folklore, but the deft Disney touch ensures that the overall tone remains light and the story develops apace, swept along on the perfect musical score. Any lingering gloom is quickly dispelled by the superbly characterised dwarfs and by the humorous antics of the various irresistible fauna that threaten to steal the show in several scenes. The pioneering animation is breathtaking and songs such as "Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho" and "Whistle While You Work", now firmly embedded in popular culture, are seamlessly interwoven with the action.pISnow White and the Seven Dwarfs/I happens to be an interesting technological milestone in cinema history--it is also an enduring masterpiece of family entertainment. To the millions who have fallen under its spell over the years, this magical fairy tale remains one of Disney's most enchanting and best-loved films. Only Grumpy could resist. --IHelen Baker/I pbOn the DVD:/b the video quality on this DVD is stunningly clear. Though it is noticeable that the film is nearly 65 years old, Disney has done a great job in the cleaning process: the bright colours shine clearly, the blacks are deep and the whites clear. There is little to no visible wearing on the film and the digital transfer has done wonders in restoring Snow White and her seven little pals. The sound is very clear and you get a real sense, in places, of the newly mastered 5.1 Dolby Sound enhancements that have been added, making for enjoyable listening to the well-loved songs. pThe extras on disk one are plentiful and give a real insight into the making of Snow White. Little was done in 1937 for the filming of behind-the-scenes documentaries, but what could have been included has been. The audio commentary is strung together from interviews with Walt Disney himself, all of which are fascinating, and to keep the kids happy there is a familiar Disney sing-along and a Dopey game to play. pThe disk two extras are packed with information on the movie and Disney, from the 3-D virtual tour of the Snow White kingdom, that also has some documentary information, to an outtakes section showing abandoned footage and ideas that were never included in the final movie. There is also an informative timeline of the creation of the Walt Disney Studios that includes some deleted scenes from the movie. Altogether, great additions to a classic film. --IRobert Hyde/I

Before we go into any details, I suggest you put on your protective goggles, strap in and go for the main feature. Prepare to be dazzled with sharp images and excellent sound that stay true to the original film. brAs with all Disney products there is a lot of schmaltz explaining to them selves of how great they are. In this case, I will have to agree with them. The platinum edition of "Snow White and the seven Dwarfs" makes it well worth trading in your old version or just retiring it. The two-disk edition has more information than can be absorbed in one sitting. brAmazon did a good job of defining all the DVD goodies. However I must mention a few. This takes advantage of your remote control for navigation. To help you decide you have the magic mirror as a guide through both disks and all the feature sections. The magic mirror reminds me of the morose robot in Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." brThe only negative comment I have is on the second disk as you navigate the menus do not highlight like they should and leave you guessing as to what you have selected until you press the OK button. brIf I had looked at the features first I would have found a game. "Dopey's Wild Mine Ride", that required me to go back to the feature, as I could not remember all the details it asked about. Some of the feature information is redundant. Some will require reading. One of the posters that were displayed looked like an advertisement for "Campbell's Cream of Dwarfs Soup." brThere is a Barbra Streisand version of "Some Day My Prince Will Come" which was distracting (no offence Barbra) and would have been much better left sounding like Janet McDonald. brThe printed Grimm's version of Snow White story was an eye opener. brYou know when things are not as good, exciting, or scary as you remember. Well surprise this movie is as good, as exciting as scary and many time down right hilarious.

This is the benchmark as to how other DVD's are to be sold.pThe two disc Collector's edition is an absolute must for all Disney and serious DVD collectors.pThe trip through the Disney Studios when playing the "play all" option covers Disney from the 1930's to date. Of course, it's biased towards Snow White trailers, but the other insights, such as how Walt almost went bankrupt helping the war effort in the 1940's is an unique view off the Disney we know and love.pThere are a few songs and a game thrown in for good measure, all presented in a nicely presented box and a book.pAs for the film itself, it's obviously flawed compared to today's standards, but still set the ground for others to follow.pEssential buy

Disney Exceeds Everyone's Expectations Again October 9, 2001

This DVD Collector's Edition is by far the best DVD Disney has released to date. Along with the direct to digital original feature this set also contains a game, an audio commentary of the feature, and everything a 'Disneyphile' wants to know about the film. pDisc 2 is where the magic really begins : behind the scenes look at the creation, scenes that were cut from the final version, a closer look at the animation and character development, a timeline of the Disney story, and loads more. pThis DVD set really is value for money. The book that accompanies the discs is also great reading. It's rare to get more than you expected.... pDo yourself a favour and buy your children (and yourself) a piece of movie history that will last forever in your hearts.

This DVD Refreshes and embelishes the long time standard bearer for Disney.brDisc 1 gives all you would expect from a top rate DVD - Film, Extras, Game. But Disc 2, wow !!. Just like with Dinosaur CE, Disney DVD have excelled. Details, history, insight.brYou really need to put time aside to give this your full attention - and not when the kids want to watch the film. Great discs, great package. The extra book on the art of Disney is a gem too.
