Amazon.com essential video: 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

Customer Reviews
Always a wonderful classic, but bonus disc is lame
The audio and picture quality are great. Definately can see the restoration results. I'm not sure however why there are two discs. All the same bonus features that are on disc 1 are also on disc 2. Maybe there are things for the kids that I didn't explore further... Either way, of course this is an amazing movie, especially considering when it was made. I just wasn't impressed with anything besides the movie itself.
