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

Snow White is a canvas always shimmering, palpitating, with movement and
invention. It remains the jewel in Disney's crown. Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
There is no other word to describe the sound experience but wonderful! The spectacular newly restored animated picture quality is stunning and communicates the loving care the animators expressed in each and every bush stroke. The image quality is fabulous! The Technicolor color fidelity is spectacular. It is so very, very gratifying that this first Walt Disney classic has been preserved and restored to such brilliance and purity. This Blu-ray Disc presentation far surpasses every past presentation of this 1937 film, including theatrical presentations. This is truly an animated feature with an impeccable reference-quality picture that will delight everyone in the family! Gary Reber, Widescreen Review

SNOW WHITE: Even though her stepmother, the Queen, forces her to wear rags and work as a scullery maid, nothing can disguise Princess Snow White s natural beauty and grace. In fact, the Magic Mirror declares her the fairest one of all! Shes also very neat and tidy (just ask the seven dwarfs), and encourages everyone to have good clean fun. With a song in her heart, she befriends everyone, even the animals of the forest! But what she wishes for most of all is true love.
THE QUEEN: With her black eyes, red lips and elegantly flowing robe, the Queen is considered the most beautiful person in the land. That is until her Magic Mirror informs her that there is someone even fairer, her own stepdaughter! When her jealousy gets the best of her, this evil witch uses dark magic to transform herself into an ugly old hag with a grotesque outside appearance that reflects the wickedness inside her heart.
DOC: Although he isn t officially the leader of the dwarfs, you can count on Doc to take charge when there s a big decision to be made. But when he gets excited, his mind works faster than his mouth and he bumbles words in a hilarious fashion, like when he wants his pals to search every nook and cranny but instead tells them to look in every cook an nanny! You can t help but love him for his cheery face, sparkling eyes and unfailing politeness. Plus, he s an excellent yodeler!
SNEEZY: With a Heigh Ho! and an Ah-choo!, Sneezy faithfully heads off to work every morning in the diamond and ruby mines with the other six dwarfs. Like his friends, he works hard, then joins in the merriment at home, dancing and singing, at the end of each day. Be extra careful about kicking up any dust, though if you hear him start to sniffle, pass a hankie! His sneezes are so powerful, they can blast you across the room!
GRUMPY: Take a bite of a sour lemon and look at your face in a mirror: You probably have a scrunched-up expression just like Grumpy s! This dwarf is known for being rough and gruff, for grumbling and complaining, for putting up a fight when hes told to wash up. Ah, but underneath that stern exterior, theres a heart of gold. He s loyal to his friends, hes quick to defend the people he loves and he plays the organ like a pro!
HAPPY: If you re ever feeling blue, there is one dwarf who can show you that the glass is always half full and the grass is greenest right where you are standing. Happy lives up to his name with his cheerful nature and genuine, heartwarming smile. Theres a twinkle in his eye and a spring in his step, and his whole jolly being seems to just glow with joy. Not even a wicked old witch can dampen this guy s good spirits!
BASHFUL: Sweet Bashful is a true sentimentalist who loves a good love story. Maybe that s why he isn t frightened like the others when he first meets Snow White, who he thinks looks like an angel. Oh, but at heart he is incredibly shy, and whenever she s around, he can t help but blush, twist his beard into knots, and bat his eyelashes. And ask him to join in the yodeling, and he immediately dissolves into nervous giggles. You just want to hug him!
SLEEPY: Have you ever noticed that yawns can be contagious? Well, hang around with Sleepy for a while and you might begin to feel just a wee bit...well, sleepy! This dwarf knows that there is nothing quite as satisfying as a good long nap in his comfy, dwarf-sized bed, but he also has a talent for being able to fall asleep anywhere at any time! While his thunderous snores won t wake him from one of his deep snoozes, start a party with good friends and hell be there.
DOPEY: Dopey is a scene-stealer! Playful, mischievous and totally adorable, the littlest dwarf somehow manages to get in the middle of everything. And what s most amazing is he does it without using words! --Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
