Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (2 Disc Platinum Edition) [DVD]

Very happy. Great movie

The final words of the film, above, are perhaps just as important to the film industry (and, indeed culture) as the opening sequence of a grand old book being opened.'Snow White' just about sums up why Walt Disney was a special individual. This is perhaps more prevalent when comparing the film to his second outing, Pinnochio, which is undoubtedly his masterpiece when it comes to artwork and technicality, where you can clearly understand how this film was a learning curve for both Disney and his artists.But Snow White is just special - it is the natural progression of Walt's storytelling that makes this 'the' perfect fairy-tale. The film is so compact and neat that no scene is ever without a purpose, leaving little room for the viewer to rest from the story. What's also apparent is a delightful innocence in the script and style of dialogue, leading the main characters to explaining actions and thoughts much more directly and thoroughly as if the film was indeed a childs picture-book. This youthful nature makes Snow White much more idealistic and safe than any Disney film after, which is purely down to Disney becoming more ambitious.The animation of this film is easily up their with Disney's Top 3 (Snow White, Pinocchio and Fantasia), and offers probably the best landscaping artwork of all his films - it's that beautiful. The character artwork isn't as texturized as later films, but uses block colours for simplicity which is indefinitely more effective for the story-book feel. Don't forget about the immense technical advances that were not only discovered during production, but made just for the film (inevitably, being used for every animation after). Not only was Snow White the first feature length animation in Technicolor, but it was the first to be Multi-Planed (multiple 'cels' placed above each other to create the illusion of depth), the first to be rotoscoped with live actors, and the first animation to be nominated and earn awards. Not bad, eh?If you've never seen Snow White before, then you may be genuinely surprised and, hopefully, delighted at just how neat and tidy it is as a film. To some, this may be seen as a weakness because the story is inevitably predictable and in many respects primitive to latter standard, but their is a point being missed here. Disney was the father of 'the happy ending' - the single most important feature of Disneyfication. He took an old fable about a princess, and turned it into an idealistic, dreamlike experience that has become timeless. The way in which he did it, I've found hard to describe, but Snow White remains both the bench-mark and the framework for tales of later films.And if you're not welling up in the eyes by the end, then make sure you're watching the right film!

Made in 1937, Walt Disney was told that he was taking a huge gamble in producing a cartoon lasting some 80 minutes or so which was unheard of at the time. However, many years later, it is now recognised as one of his finest creations and one of his most popular ever.The story, quite simply, a beautiful princess has a jealous stepmother, the queen who plots to have her killed. She escapes when her would be assassin cannot carry out the deed, so she escapes into the forest until she finds by accident a cottage where the 7 Dwarfs live. These scenes between Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs are some of the best of this wonderful movie, exploring every emotion possible. The final scenes though are some of the most emotional ever, so even if you have seen it before, it still tugs at the heart stringsWith the ever growing popularity of Blu-Ray it isnt surprising that this classic movie should end up on the new format. Bearing in mind the age of the movie though, it isnt pin-sharp; indeed some scenes are a little soft in detail. But, this enhances its charm and I for one do not have a problem with that. The movie is shown in 4:3 format and accessing the menu page you can add Disney View which provides coloured pillars which change from scene to scene either side of the screen instead of black bars. The soundtrack is very good too, in surround sound if you have a home cinema system.The extras abound on the second disc and will keep fans happy for hours. With prices of Blu-Ray discs coming down, it is a good buy even though some critics will say that it is cheaper to buy the ordinary DVD version and upscale it.It is a choice for the purchaser of course.However, I will definetly recommend the Blu-Ray Version.

Classic, we all sang the song ,hi ho ...Grumpy Grandad

If interested in the history of cinema and animation you could have a look at this.

The film remains utterly delightful - age does not wither it so put that in your pipe and smoke Pixar. But some of the others bits in the pack are ghastly, smug American ranting on about the genius of Disney. There is an interesting section on to cut sequences which shows the drawings and has the soundtrack, but most of the rest of it could have been junked. They also do not tell you much about who voiced the thing and that seems a little cavalier because the voice is an essential part of any cartoon so more about the speakers would have been worth having. The Disnet historians should all be locked away in a dark room and not allowed to voice their self serving platitudes about the great man. But that does not detract from the film itself which is a joy to behold.

Magical Movie - 1937 but still magical and enjoyed by the whole family.

Crisp picture for an 80 year old film. 4k blu ray.

La clásica de clásicas. El primer dibujo animado de Disney el cual se reestrenó y coloreó para su distribución (originalmente la película era en blanco y negro).La imagen es fabulosa y gana enteros en todos los apartados. Jamás se había visto tan bien y la crítica especializada le ha otorgado algunas calificaciones perfectas por la fabulosa restauración que realizó Disney.Trae el redoblaje del 2001, pero la verdad es que me gustó ese doblaje y nunca vi el del VHS.El audio latino es Dolby Digital 5.1, el cual se oye muy bien en teles sin barra de sonido. También trae audio en inglés 5.1 DTS-HDMA y subtítulos en ambos idiomas.El código digital es válido solo para USA.

Regalato a mia nipote. Immagini bluray bellissime.

Der Film ist ein toller Disney Klassiker, der einfach in jede Disney Sammlung muss. Ich finde es gut, dass es ihn mittlerweile auch auf Blu-ray gibt.

想定以上に良い状態で梱包も丁寧でした。感激です。ありがとうございました。

Wie bei jeden anderen Disney-Klassiker auch sollte man gerade auf Schneewittchen auf gar keinen Fall verzichten... ob jung ob alt - immer sehenswert!
