I have fond memories of watching this Christmas special on TV as a very young child, so I was very excited when I learned that it was available on DVD. After watching "A Snow White Christmas" for the first time in about 25 years, I must confess that it's not exactly the animated masterpiece my five-year-old self proclaimed it to be. However, kids who are die-hard Snow White fans like me will love it. The story revolves around Snow White II, the daughter of the original Snow White and her now-husband, Charming. The Wicked Queen learns of little Snow White's existence and is determined to get rid of her. Poor Snow White is forced to go on the room with her impish friend, Grunyon, and they are befriended by the Seven Friendly Giants (distant cousins of the Seven Dwarfs), who help defeat the Wicked Queen right before Christmas.

Again, this is not brilliant animation in action by any stretch of the imagination, but it has a lot of sentimental value for me, and I'm happy to finally have it on DVD.

I loved this x-mas special as a kid. I know it was never really popular but my dad taped a bunch of x-mas shows on a VHS and our family watched them every x-mas. Now at 26 I still have the video and watch it every x-mas season. This a great story of Snow White's daughter meeting the 7 friendly giants.

I was totally in love wit this Christmas special when I was a child, and always remembered it. I wondered if I would ever see it again, and now thanks to YouTube and Amazon I can.

However, looking back on it 30 years later, and my being much older, this story now seems so cheesy, and somewhat ridiculous. Any Snow White fan would love it, but the general public forgot this just as quickly as the Grinch Halloween Special. Unlike the immortal Charlie Brown Christmas, A Snow White Christmas is gone and mostly forgotten. For those of us who want to keep it for our memoirs, let's get it while it lasts.

For myself, I loved the story for its child-like enchantment, but I was only 10 yrs old, and the world has changed so much since John Lennon was shot (the same month this tale came out in December 1980). But be it a book or a DVD, any story you treasure is valuable to you, and thus worth keeping. If you like Snow White, this is for you.

This is the best sequal to Disney original 1930s Snow White classic ever done including having the wicked queen looking just like her classic self. The seven friendly giants are my favorite with their songs and their individual personalities like Disney did with the dwarfs.
