For Your Princess, September 26, 2006
This review is from: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (2001 Special Platinum Edition) (1937) (DVD)
It's so wonderful to live in a time when Disney's strange behavior of taking their classics off the market can be circumvented by great Internet marketers like Amazon. I was able to buy this 5 Star Disney Princess classic recently for my young princess through one of Amazon's third-party sellers. And without that opportunity, my little princess may have outgrown Snow White by the time Disney released it again.
Let me just say that my little one was absolutely captivated by Snow White, and to think that she would be deprived by Disney itself from seeing it at her perfect age is criminal.
The story is familiar enough to any parent, so I won't go on about that other than to say that of all the Disney Princess classics, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty have some scenes that might scare a young princess under the age of 5.
But you should take advantage of purchasing Snow White or any of the other "off-the-market" Disney princess classics like Beauty and the Beast now via one of this site's resellers if you have a little princess of your own that might not appreciate it as much when Disney decides that it's time.
And indeed, you will enjoy Snow White or any of the other Princess classics as thoroughly as your young one.
Side Note on Resellers: Beware of exorbitant reseller prices; renting may be a better option if available. Also beware of REGION 2 resales; Region 2 DVDs will not play in most US DVD players. Look for Region 1 US Amazon resellers.

Snow White's dream comes true!, April 11, 2007
This review is from: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (2001 Special Platinum Edition) (1937) (DVD)
Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs is simply enchanting. We got the DVD a few months back, but just saw it with a group of children that were visiting and chose this to be the entertainment of the night. The quality is superb, the sound magnificent. Soon we found ourselves immersed in the story of a queen who is vain and wicked, trying hard to forever be the fairest in the land.
Snow White grows to be a very beautiful princess and soon, the enchanted mirror tells the Queen that she is no longer the most beautiful, the title now goes to Snow White.
Jealousy and envy drive the queen to attempt to eliminate the fair princess. Snow White meets the seven dwarfs, who live in the forest, and we find ourselves singing right along with them... "Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's home from work we go, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho."
The creatures of the forest are marvelous as they help Snow White with daily chores. Some of the most endearing moments in movie history. In the end, love saves the day... and Snow White has her dream come true. Unforgettable song: "some day my prince will come, some day we'll meet again, and away to his castle we'll go, to be happy forever I know."
"Some day when spring is here, we'll find our love anew, and the birds will sing, and wedding bells will ring, some day when my dreams come true!"

Disney's Masterpeice, February 1, 2009
This review is from: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (2001 Special Platinum Edition) (1937) (DVD)
Of all the Disney movies this is the only one that I think reaches the status of being a masterpiece. That is not to say that the other Disney movies are not good fun. But "Snow White" is indeed art as well as entertainment. Walt Disney was not an artist as much as he was a shrewd businessman. However, in spite of himself, the creator of "Steamboat Willie" uses his organization of cartoonists, musicians, technology and so forth, to make for something that is more than sentimental and schmaltzy. "Snow White" quite naturally transcends the movie medium and is true art-work, (as opposed to a movie such as "Fantasia" that tries so hard to be a "art" but misses the mark). "Snow White", indeed, is an American classic.
