Disney's First Feature from 1937; A Charming Tale (But Too Spooky for Some Kiddies)
Think twice about showing this to very young children. Beware the evil Queen who wants young princess Snow White's heart in a jeweled box. There is a creepy spirit in a mirror, an attempted murder with a knife, a haunted forest, rats, vultures, and a decrepit old hag with bulging eyes and a magic poisoned apple. I only mention this because there are so many parents writing reviews here that did not expect their kiddies to bawl or hide under the bed for two weeks. <
>Personally, I love villains. And Disney did some great ones back in the day. I still enjoy Cinderella's wicked stepmother, Sleeping Beauty's elegant Maleficent, and 101 Dalmations' Cruella De Vil. <

>"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was Walt Disney's first feature length animated cartoon which started it all, and continued from Pinocchio to Beauty and the Beast, and beyond. There are some wondrous things in this film: the animation is great for its time, the music is fun and sweet, and the whole fairy tale atmosphere is very nicely rendered in delicate watercolor backgrounds, like an old picture book. <

>I must admit that Snow White's speaking voice (by Andrea Caselotti) irritates me; it's like Betty Boop and Shirley Temple mixed together. But the dwarfs are so much fun, and they save the film from being a melodramatic tale of jealousy and rage. Disney had even dropped two sequences involving the seven little men in order to move the story along better, one being a musical number about soup, and another where the dwarfs build a bed for their new lady friend. There's tons of anecdotes and trivia like this, about the making of the film, in the platinum dvd's bonus features. It is packed with goodies for animation buffs and film junkies. <

>The movie seems old fashioned and cliched by today's standards, as it is seventy years old. The current generation may find "Snow White" much too sugary and operatic (even with the chills and thrills of the evil queen) compared to more recent animated fare such as Shrek or Finding Nemo. But this is still a charmer, and it's just amazing how the artists captured emotions in these drawings: The dwarfs weeping at Snow White's vigil (note the candle wax dripping), Grumpy eventually coming around to care about Snow White, and Dopey trying to get the only cushion to sleep on before the others discover it. All in all, still a wonderful movie.

Exactly What I Hoped For
This DVD is fantastic! It has everything on it I had hoped for. I was a little concerned that the copy I purchased would not have the "Goddess of Spring" feature it claimed to have, and so I was delighted when it did. The person who sold it to me was very prompt about shipping the DVD and answering my e-mails. I greatly appreciate the effort put in to selling me this item. As a life-long fan of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," I am very happy with this purchase. I'm sure any other "Snow White" fan will be too.

Disney's best animated feature film.
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 <
