The world's first full length animated feature has never looked or sounded better than it does on this special edition two disc Disney Blu-ray set!
"Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs"
(Walt Disney - USA - 1937)
This classic animated feature length cartoon was nicknamed "Disney's Folly" by many critics who doubted that the short animated cartoon films - lasting on average 8 to 10 minutes - and generally screened as part of the 'full supporting' programme to the main feature film could ever successfully make the transition from programme filler to becoming a main feature film presentation in its own right.
Fortunately, Walt Disney , assisted by his army of excellent animation artists persisted and the world's first full length animated feature was finally released in 1937.
Adapted from the German academic Brothers Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm fairy tale, 'Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs' is a story which was/still is chillingly dark in places, reflecting its roots in European folklore. Snow White was known as Schneewittchen in the original German story which also features the elements of the magic mirror and the seven dwarfs, who were first given individual names in Walt Disney's 1937 film.
The masterly touch of Walt Disney, his story line writers and skilful animators ensured that the overall tone remains light and the story develops rapidly and is aided by the perfect musical score. Any undertones of lingering gloom is balanced by dispelled by the superbly characterised dwarfs and their humorous antics.
The pioneering multiplane animation is breathtaking and makes the action really 'come alive'. Songs such as "Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho" and "Whistle While You Work", are now firmly embedded in popular culture, are seamlessly interwoven with the action. Made long before the advent of C.G.I. When the animators and ink artists took extreme pride in their work - and not a computer in sight. Even today it remains an enduring masterpiece of family entertainment and millions have fallen under its spell over the years, this magical fairy tale remains one of Disney's most enchanting, best animated and best loved films. I have seen it, as it was originally intended to be seen, on the big cinema screen, numerous times over the years and never get bored.
Even though the film 72 years old the Disney studio has done a great job in the transferring it to D.V.D. the bright colours shine clearly, the blacks are deep and the whites clear. There is little or no visible wearing on the film and the digital transfer has done wonders in restoring Snow White and her seven little friends. The sound is very clear making for enjoyable listening to the well-loved songs.
The extras on the D.V.D. are packed with information on this classic motion picture. Documentary information, out takes section showing abandoned footage and ideas that were never included in the final film. It still remains the best full length animated feature film that the Walt Disney Studios has ever produced. Do not hesitate by it children from 8 to 90 plus will all enjoy it!
