Once upon a time, as the elaborate pages of this spellbinding storybook opens you are taken to a beautiful castle as a Queen speaks into the magic mirror on the wall. The face within the mirror tells her she is not the fairest in the Kingdom but a young maid named Snow White is the by far fairer than thee.
What an enchanting and revered this Walt Disney movie: SNOW WHITE and the SEVEN DWARFS, the Platinum Edition two-disk tasty treat is. This golden 1937 classical masterpiece is the apple of my eye. I watched this double disk Fairy Tale of dynamic proportions and to watch both disks you will need to have plenty of time. It is so jam packed and loaded with extras and specials. The story itself is worth the weight in golden pages and the extras are icing on your cake.
An evil Queen is jealous of a young maiden girl with lips as red as the rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as the snow. She has given the Huntsman a horridly wicked command, to have Snow White killed. Not only killed, but to provide proof that he killed her by putting the girls heart into a box and bringing it back to the Queen to verify that the young beauty was indeed dead. Of course the huntsman can't do it, and he tells Snow White to run away into the blackest depths of the forestry.
As one can expect the vain Queen play with her magical mirror once again, believing the raving beauty is dead. She speaks into the mirror to find out who the fairest of the entire kingdom is, only to be told it is still Snow White. She turns herself into a hideous old hag and goes out into the forest to find Snow White and gives her a poisonous apple to put her in a sleeping death that can only be broken by "loves first kiss."
Snow White found a little cottage and began to clean it up not realizing it belonged to seven messy dwarfs. The seven dwarfs are Sleepy, Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Happy, and Bashful. They are diamond mine diggers that sing delightful little tunes such as: "Heigh Ho" with such gusto!
The colors in this digitally remastered gem is breathless, the heart shaped leaves of greens, flowers draping the area with brilliance, while the dark forestry showed glowing eyes all about it. Snow White even couldn't take the brilliance of the film ---for she passed out.
Watching Snow White's lush eyelashes flutter, her lips move elegantly, and her rosy checks upon her milky white face is such a pleasure to view. Disney put a lot into this special animated enchanting movie. From the sound being put into surround Dolby Digital 5.1 you get all woozy-eyed and pitter pattering in the heart when you hear well Barbara Streisand sing, "Some Day My Prince Will Come" at the very end of the movie. You then you have the splendid surreality of natures finest brought to animation in the truest to life vivid colors. I wish Disney would do this much for all their movies.
When I opened this double-boxed disk set I was amazed at the glamorous packaging Disney provided for such a special classic tale. Inside was a pamphlet loaded with information and tidbits. Although this was digitally remastered the details and the classic feel remains the same as it was originally portrayed.
