Snow White Diamond Edition Available on DVD
Walt Disney’s beloved animated masterpiece SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, maintains a legacy of distinctive firsts within the entertainment industry. Though it’s been 70 years since she first graced the silver screen, SNOW WHITE still charms and thrills generations of audiences. And now, for the first time in SEVEN years, Disney is opening the vault and releasing ‘The One That Started It All’. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in high-definition Blu-ray for the first time ever in a 2-disc Blu-ray plus DVD combo pack on Oct. 6.
My oldest daughter (now 14) probably watched Snow White on a VHS tape about 300 times. She loved the story, even though the witch scared her and she often hid behind a chair during some of the “scary” scenes. But WOW does this movie look more amazing than ever on DVD!
