Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 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. Adapted from the Grimm fairytale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 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. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 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. --Helen Baker VHS DescriptionVHS Special Features: All-new recording of "Some Day my Prince Will Come" performed by Barbra Streisand The making of Snow White featurette Deleted scene: "Music in Your Soup" "Heigh-Ho" Sing-A-Long Average Rating:
 Rating: - Snow WhiteVery impressed with the speed and effeciency of delivery. Watched it this afternoon, it has not lost any of its magic - well worth the money. Rating: - The best Disney movie of all timeThis is the movie that established Walt Disney's reputation as the master of children's cartoons. Even by today's exacting standards, the animation is top notch. Perhaps the best test of Snow White's enduring charm and beauty is to sit a variety of children between the ages of 5 and 10 in front of it and watch how they become spellbound by it. Visually there is so much to see and enjoy. The detail is stunning. A collection of hugely talented and imaginiative people have vividly brought ... Read More Rating: - The start of DisneyficationIt's quite funny that today, as I trudged into University, the module we would be studying in the lecture was Animation, and the history behind it. As a young kid, I had seen Snow White many times, with varying experiences (mostly scared!) and so it was great to bring it all back this morning in what would normally be a few hours of boredom. Snow White, released amazingly way back in 1938, could easily be one of the most important films ever created. That might sound ambitious, considering the ... Read More Rating: - DISNEY'S FIRST FEATURE LENGTH ANIMATED FILM IS AN ALL TIME CLASSICTo call Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs a classic goes without saying that practically everyone has called it such. It is a great film, but there are certain factors that make it so, and without them the film could've gone the other way and become important more for its technical breakthrough(s) than for the content. The fact is a story with the utmost simplicity like Snow White, the chief characters- Prince Charming, the wicked Queen/witch, and of course Snow White- are all very basic, simple, if not ... Read More Rating:  - EnchantingWhat I found most impressive about "Snow White", after watching it for the first time since I was a child, were the landscapes. True, they don't look as appropriate for the story as those in "Sleeping Beauty" or "Hercules", both of which look like a Medieval painting and a Greek vase respectively, but there's something about the forests and castles in Disney's first feature-length offering that really intrigues me. Perhaps more than any other Disney film, it looked like the sort of world I would want to ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
