Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment proudly marks two groundbreaking milestones with the highly-anticipated October 6 high definition debut of the most acclaimed animated movie ever made. Walt Disney’s original classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which made history in 1937 as the first full-length animated feature, is the premiere entry in a spectacular all-new product line—Disney’s Diamond Collection. And, in an industry first, the historic release will make its bow on Disney Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack (two Blu-ray discs + DVD) a full seven weeks before the Deluxe Two-Disc Classic standard definition DVD becomes available on November 24.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs hasn’t stood every test of time, but it has withstood every test that matters. As an early cinematic marvel, it readily reveals its creators’ commitment and skill, trotting out a slew of innovative firsts that have inspired every animated film since.
Presented with flawless newly restored picture and 7.1 Digital Theater System Hi-Def Surround Sound, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition promises to set a new standard in home entertainment. The most immersive and highest level viewing experience ever available, it includes unparalleled features, exclusive and updatable high definition content, superior picture and sound, and much more.
Check out the NEW Trailer:
The 3-disc Blu-ray edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a near-definitive release of the animated film that started it all. Its gorgeous restoration is simply the beginning. What follows is a glorious video transfer, a fit and faithful DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround track, and a mammoth collection of special features. Sure, some supplemental content was left behind on the 2001 Special Edition DVD, but that shouldn’t prevent any animation enthusiast, Disney fan, or classic cinephile from nabbing this release post haste. I can’t imagine anyone — aside from the dark-hearted stepmothers among you — will be disappointed or underwhelmed by this fantastic, top-notch release.
