Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Every once in a while there is a movie that defines a genre. The gold standard to which all others are compared. For mob movies there is The Godfather (ok, or maybe Goodfellas, I can’t decide). Romantic Comedies? When Harry Met Sally. Comedy? Airplane. Adventure? Raiders of the Lost Ark.
You get the idea. So what’s missing? The quintessential animated movie. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Disney’s very first Animated feature. And now it is also the first in the Signature Collection. Disney’s exciting new line of high definition Blu-Ray and Digital HD movies. In case you aren’t aware. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the story of Snow White’s escape from her wicked Stepmother (the queen) into the deep woods. She comes across a group of dwarf miners and proceeds to take care of their home in exchange for hiding her from the queen.
For the first time ever, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is available on Digital download. For those of us that like to be able to watch our movies on the go (on my tablet) that is huge. In addition to being shown in stunning HD, the Blu-Ray itself is also packed with extras. You get to hear Walt Disney himself talk about Snow White. There is an alternative storyboard for scenes within the movie and featurettes on how Snow White has affected modern pop culture and the design of animated characters up to this day.

and on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack February 2nd
