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

But I feel this movie lacks some of the perfection that other titles such as Peter Pan (2-Disc Platinum Edition), The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition) and The Little Mermaid (Two-Disc Platinum Edition) had. The animals add a lot to the overall innocent feel to the movie. And like I said, Snow White has the perfect, girl-next-door personality. I'm sure I... more info
