Reviews for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
It luxuriates in the art of animation, watching the various animals race through the woods, or watching Snow White running scared from an array of imaginary horrors.

the film's overall effect is undeniable, not only on the history of cinema as a whole, but in each new viewing that reveals another dimension or additional detail, the sum total of which is one of the true cinematic masterpieces

Great movie, great treatment, but if you're particular about your collection, know that the combo pack is available in both DVD and Blu-ray packaging.

It is Snow White's afterbirth that merits both canonization and destruction.
10/06/09
One of the most important films in the history of popular cinema, and film fans must never forget the incredible achievement it was in 1937. [Blu-ray]

This is both an entertaining old movie and a significant historical document. If you love film, then you must see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

It's a delighful family fantasy film that is timeless, one that both children and adults can enjoy.
07/05/07
In addition to its historical value as the first animated feature, it is still a delight, with memorable songs and characters.
06/30/07
So perfect is the illusion, so tender the romance and fantasy, so emotional are certain portions when the acting of the characters strikes a depth comparable to the sincerity of human players, that the film approaches real greatness.

Top CriticYou've probably seen it 15 times by now, so why not make it 16?
06/28/07
Top Critic...the animation itself is top-notch, and in a number of darker sequences (Snow White's terrified entry into the forest, for example), Disney's adoption of Expressionist visual devices makes for genuinely powerful drama.
06/24/06
Most remarkable in Snow White's romps through the forest with her pack of animal pals, Disney's brilliant cell animation has rarely been equaled.
