Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one hour and twenty-three minutes and premiere in theaters on December 21, 1937. This would be the first full length animated film and the one that started it all for Walt Disney. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs tell the story of Snow White who is the beautiful step-daughter to the evil and vain Queen; full name is never given in the movie. The Queen dresses Snow White in rags and makes her work as a scullery maid. Everyday the Queen asked the Magic Mirror who was the fairest of them all and as long as the Magic Mirror told the Queen she was one sexy babe then Snow White got to live another. One day the Magic Mirror told the Queen she was no longer the fairest and the land and that Snow White was the new beauty babe in town. This upset the Queen to no end so she devised a plot to kill Snow White. The Queen tells the Huntsman to take Snow White to the hillside to pick some flowers and to kill her and to bring Snow White's heart back as proof of the jobs. The Huntsman could not bring himself to do the job and to tell Snow White to flee and never come back. Snow White finds shelter in the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs. The Seven Dwarfs discover Snow White in their cottage and decides that she can live with them, mainly because she can make gooseberry pie. Grumpy is the only who want her to scram because in his opinion women are nothing but trouble. To some husbands and boyfriends that statement may be true. Well the Queen finds out from the Magic Mirror that the Huntsman did not do his job and as the old saying goes: "if you want something done right then do it yourself". The Queen turns herself into an old Peddler and creates a poison apple that will make Snow White take one long nap. The Queen, now an old hag, finds Snow White and tricks her into taking a bite out of the apple and Snow White is now in snooze land. The animals of the forest rush to warn the Seven Dwarfs and it is Grumpy that leads the charge to save Snow White. The Dwarfs chase and traps the Queen to a mountain cliff. The Queen tries to loosen a boulder to kill the Dwarfs, but a bolt of lightning strikes the cliff and she fall to her death; and you the folks out there already knows the ending to the story. The only thing I did not like was the extra DVD that came along with the movie. The case itself is thicker then your usual DVD case. The information was bit overkill and Disney could have just done a one hour documentary instead of all the details listed below. Also what is not included in this special two DVD set are movie preview for which I don't mind at all. Barring the negativity about the second DVD, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a great movie to own and gets an AAAAA+++++. Disc 1 Play Chapter Selection Set Up Bonus Features 1. Guided Tours 2.

ANOTHER GREAT OLD MOVIE TO WATCH WITH YOUR CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDEN

There isn't much that hasn't already been said about "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", Walt Disney's first feature length animated film. Suffice it to say that it not only fulfilled the studio's hopes beyond their wildest dreams, it made possible the Disney films that followed it. From the famous Grimm fairy tale about a beautiful princess who flees her jealous stepmother and finds refuge with seven friendly dwarfs, Walt Disney created a cinematic milestone. At the time the film was in production until the day it was released, rival producers were referring to it as "Disney's Folly". The sneering stopped when it was embraced both by critics and audiences, grossing many times it's then record (for an animated film) $1.5 million budget. Eight successful reissues have kept the movie in the public consciousness now for over six decades, during which time the field of animation has grown by leaps and bounds. Still. despite the cinematic advances and the passage of time, "Snow White" stands alone. While the classic story is but a framework for the film (a fact which troubled me for years), "Snow White" can be fully enjoyed for the pioneer it truly is. Along with a splendid cast of voices headed by Adriana Caselotti (Snow White) Harry Stockwell (father of Guy and Dean, as the Prince) and Lucille La Verne (The Queen), there are songs which can truly be called timeless: "Whistle While You Work", "Heigh Ho", "Some Day My Prince Will Come", etc.). Much time and effort went toward developing the characters of the Seven Dwarfs and giving each a distinct personality (absent in the original story) which went a long way in making audiences care for Snow White's plight. Interestingly enough, although the fairy tale was toned down considerably to make it more "family friendly", the overzealous way in which the film makers transformed the Wicked Queen into a hideous hag at the climax was the subject of an incredible amount of controversy at the time. In fact, it was under a partial ban in England which made it off-limits to children under 16 years of age! Nevertheless, it was the recipient of a special Academy Award in 1938. To go on about the impact made by the film would be redundant. It simply must be seen to be appreciated. In 2001, it was released on DVD as the first of Disney's "Diamond Editions". And many months before it was in stores, there was great speculation about the content. All the anticipation was justified when the DVD hit the stores. Critics and consumers were overwhelmed (just like the audiences back in 1937) with both the content and the painstaking restoration (beyond that done for it's 60th anniversary reissue) and made it THE Bluray for the subsequent holiday season. Without going into detail, it looks as if it were made yesterday, and sounds better than a film of this vintage could ever be expected to. But the streamlining has not diminished it's charm--only accentuated it. And when you think (before you are drawn into the story, and you ARE) that "Snow White", unlike today's computer-drawn animated features was entirely done by hand, that makes it even more of a miracle. Instead of listing the already well publicized bonus features, let me say that this "Platinum Edition" is like a self-contained history of the film, with hours worth of delights the most astounding being a pieced-together commentary by Walt Disney himself. Out of print for years, it is well worth the effort and expense to find. And although Disney made it a point to announce that they planned to go even further with their subsequent "Diamond Editions", Next up Beauty And The Beast October 5th!!

Amazing and fun movie

Loved it then and still love it now. A beautiful trip down memory lane.

No complaints. Great Snow White DVD; nice clean case, good picture on the front and back, the DVD is scratched and works! I'm satisfied with my purchase!

Commande bien reçue et conforme à la description. Vendeur à recommander !

Es una bella edición de Disney por su 100 aniversario, cumple con al espectativa.

Mit „Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge“ hat Walt Disney 1937 Filmgeschichte geschrieben und das Genre des Animationsfilms revolutioniert. Der erste abendfüllende Zeichentrickfilm begeistert bis heute Generationen mit seiner märchenhaften Inszenierung, den liebevoll gezeichneten Charakteren und der unvergesslichen Musik. Nun ist dieser Klassiker in 4K Ultra HD erschienen – eine Veröffentlichung, die für Fans eine echte Offenbarung sein könnte. Doch wie schlägt sich das alte Meisterwerk in der neuen technischen Aufbereitung? Die Geschichte von Schneewittchen dürfte jeder kennen: Die böse Königin will das schönste Mädchen des Landes aus dem Weg räumen und befiehlt dem Jäger, Schneewittchen in den Wald zu führen und zu töten. Doch das Mädchen entkommt und findet Zuflucht im Haus der sieben Zwerge – bis die Königin mit einem vergifteten Apfel ein letztes Mal zuschlägt. Disney hat dieses Märchen mit einzigartigem Charme und zeitloser Eleganz adaptiert. Besonders die liebevoll gezeichneten Zwerge wie Brummbär, Schlafmütze und Happy sowie die dunkle, furchteinflößende Böse Königin sorgen für eine bis heute fesselnde Atmosphäre. Mit unvergesslichen Liedern wie „Hei-Ho, Hei-Ho“, „Ich wünsch mir…“ und „Eines Tages, mein Prinz wird kommen“ wurde der Film zur Blaupause für viele nachfolgende Disney-Meisterwerke. Die große Frage war natürlich: Kann ein fast 90 Jahre alter Film wirklich von einer 4K-Restauration profitieren? Die Antwort lautet: Ja! Restaurierte Animationen: Das Bild wirkt gestochen scharf, ohne dabei den nostalgischen Charme des handgezeichneten Stils zu verlieren. Dank HDR10 & Dolby Vision sind die Farben kräftiger als je zuvor – vom tiefen Blau des Nachthimmels bis zum scharlachroten Apfel der Königin. Die 4K-Edition bringt kleine Details hervor, die man in älteren Fassungen kaum bemerkt hat – etwa die Strukturen in Schneewittchens Kleid oder die liebevoll gestalteten Hintergründe. Kurz gesagt: Diese 4K-Veröffentlichung ist eine der besten Restaurierungen eines Disney-Klassikers und übertrifft selbst die bereits hervorragende Blu-ray-Edition. Die Neuveröffentlichung bietet mehrere Tonspuren, darunter: - Deutsch in Dolby Digital 5.1 - Englisch in Dolby Atmos (perfekt für Heimkino-Liebhaber) - Weitere Sprachen (Französisch, Spanisch, Italienisch u.a.) Die Synchronisation bleibt die bekannte deutsche Fassung, die wunderbar zum nostalgischen Charme des Films passt. Während die Musik und Gesangspassagen hervorragend abgemischt wurden, merkt man den Dialogen natürlich das Alter an. Dennoch ist die Tonqualität sauber und gut verständlich. Diese 4K-Edition bietet ein umfangreiches Bonuspaket, das sich besonders für Sammler lohnt. Dazu gehören: - Making-of-Dokumentation – Die Geschichte hinter dem allerersten Disney-Film - Gelöschte Szenen – Einblicke in Sequenzen, die es nicht in den finalen Film geschafft haben - Künstlerische Entwicklung – Wie Disneys Animatoren den Look des Films kreierten - Historische Trailer & Interviews – Zeitdokumente aus den frühen Jahren der Disney-Studios Das Bonusmaterial ist zwar nicht komplett neu, bietet aber eine schöne Zusammenstellung für Fans und Sammler. „Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge“ ist und bleibt ein zeitloses Meisterwerk, das Generationen begeistert hat und auch heute nichts von seinem Zauber verloren hat. Die 4K Ultra HD-Edition hebt den Film in eine neue visuelle Liga, ohne dabei den Charme des Originals zu verfälschen. Ein absolutes Must-Have für Disney-Liebhaber und ein wunderschönes Stück Filmgeschichte, das in keiner Sammlung fehlen sollte!

Beau dessin animé de ce beau compte que je réécoute souvent seule ou avec les enfants
