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 and the seven dwarfs:
Upon viewing the dvd it appeared to be a copy and not an original product. The movie played fine and my grandchildren are happy but I am dissappointed that I was decieved.
Snow White dvd:
I was impressed with the speed of delivery. My 5 year old loves the Dopey mine game.
The princess who started it all - still looks good! :):
The over-all movie quality was superb, colors were vibrant, and the sound was clear. Happy to have this classic in my collection now (though the discs were scratchier than anticipated, everything still plays fine so far).
