With that said, the color palette is still vivid and tight, lacking the contrast issues of the previous version. Sharpness and detail are immaculate, perhaps almost too much so. The BD transfer is so polished that it reveals cel shadows, out- of- focus elements, and ink and paint inconsistencies.

These source- based imperfections should come as a relief, since they prove the film hasn't been overly scrubbed the way other Disney restorations have been suspected of. Because of how strong the 2. Blu- rays for Sleeping Beauty or even Pinocchio, nor should it be. This is not only an older film, but one that was filled with experimentation and artists trying to hone their craft.

This is, without a doubt, the best Snow White has ever looked on home video. The DTS- HD 7. 1 track is less impressive, but more because of the source limitations than the mixing itself.

In the trailer above, you can watch two dwarfs hungrily eye Snow White undress at about 58 seconds in. When she takes off her shoes, their eyes grow in horror at what.

In fact, it's difficult to even discern this as a surround track. It's mixed with such reverence that the sound field is firmly front and center. The surrounds lightly expand for effects and more so for score, but not to a great degree. These elements are noticeably clearer than previous incarnations, but the speech is a bit hollow. FR-EE American Ninja V Full Movie. Thankfully, a mono track is offered, as well, and the differences between the two tracks are surprisingly few. It's a step up from what most are accustomed to hearing with the film, but not much more than that.

DISC 1 BONUS FEATURESThis Diamond Edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs comes with an extensive array of supplements, some of which are carried over from the 2. Platinum Edition DVD, but most of which are new. Disc One begins with a special sneak of The Princess and the Frog (7: 4. HD). After a rapid- fire introduction by directors John Musker and Ron Clements, the film's opening sequence is shown. Half of it features finished animation, but the other half mixes in both rough and clean- up animation.

Directed by Sung-ho Hong. With Chloë Grace Moretz, Sam Claflin, Gina Gershon, Jim Rash. Princes who have been turned into Dwarfs seek the red shoes of a lady in.

It may be yet another case of Disney cross- promotion, but the clip shown is charming, nonetheless. Under Backstage Disney: Diamond Edition is the new featurette "Snow White Returns" (8: 4. HD). Don Hahn explains how storyboards were unearthed for an unused short sequel to the feature film and narrates how they would've appeared. What's interesting here is that the proposed short would've utilized two deleted sequences from Snow White itself that had been partially animated. No explanation is given as to why the project was shelved, but it may have been a mix of the short not having much new to say and keeping the integrity of the feature film itself. The two deleted Snow White bits shown briefly in the above feature are also presented in full on their own.

Soup Eating Sequence" (4: 0. HD) presents the famous "Music in Your Soup" musical number meant to come after the washing sequence. Bed Building Sequence" (6: 2. HD) shows the Dwarfs building a bed for Snow White while she's at home baking them pie. Soup Eating" made it to clean- up animation while "Bed Building" is a mix of rough animation and storyboards. Both scenes are quality pieces in their own right, but their self- contained nature made the decision to cut them a sensible one.

Music & More is misleading as it holds one sole feature: a music video for Tiffany Thornton's "Someday My Prince Will Come" (3: 3. HD). Appropriately shot in front the Team Disney Burbank building (also known as the "Seven Dwarfs" building), the video features Thornton (of "Sonny With a Chance") performing with movie clips projected around her as well as a few prop trees and brook. Both the video and rendition itself are not bad, but they're not terribly memorable, either. Family Play contains four set- top games. Mirror Mirror on the Wall" is a princess personality quiz hosted by the Magic Mirror. It's more than obvious which answer is attached to which princess, and it's only the presentation that mildly sets it apart from the dozens of similar quizzes easily found online. For those curious to know, this reviewer is most closely associated with Belle, which seems an apt enough result.

What Do You See?" shows blurred headshots of different characters and requires the viewer to select who is being presented. Points are assessed for correct answers and speed. It's simultaneously boring and frustrating, boring in the sense that it's quite easy to tell who the character is before the image clears up. As for the frustrating part, the load time just to move the cursor from one answer to another is slow and clunky, resulting in lowered points.

Jewel Jumble" is easily the most fun game in this section. Essentially a Snow White version of Bejeweled, the player must help Grumpy collect falling gems in his mine cart. Three gems in a row will wipe each other out and award points, and the player must skillfully do this before the gems pile up so high that they crash into an overhead lantern. It's a well- executed game, and despite being more complex, gameplay is a lot smoother than in "What Do You See?". The last game, "Scene Stealer", allows users to upload a photo of themselves and have it placed over a Dwarf's face. The user can then watch the main feature with them as that particular dwarf. Because this can only be done via BD- Live, the effectiveness of this technique could not be properly measured for this review.

Next comes a port- over from the Platinum Edition: an audio commentary with Walt Disney and film historian John Canemaker. The track mixes various archival interviews with icon, usually relating to what's on screen, though not exclusively. Some of these portions are surprisingly honest as Walt reveals certain production problems and dealing with the aftermath of the film's success. Canemaker ties these interviews together, giving a thoroughly scripted breakdown on the making of the feature. Canemaker's somewhat monotone approach is easier to swallow than it should be and is informative, but Walt's portions truly make this special.

The final feature on disc one is "Learn How to Take Your Favorite Movies on the Go" (1: 0. HD). This tutorial explains, via WALL- E and Bolt clips, how to use Disney.

File digital copies. While it's surely useful for those new to this, its inclusion here seems futile seeing as Snow White doesn't include a digital copy.

While more of a viewing mode than a bonus feature, "Disney. View" fills the empty side gaps left in the 1. Toby Bluth. Just like on the Pinocchio release, these columns are designed to blend with the backgrounds, so forest scenes feature trees, while the Dwarf's cottage contains European wood carvings. It's done in a tasteful way that doesn't compromise the original aspect ratio, but one can't help but wonder how those annoyed by black gaps would find these less distracting. A short text biography of Bluth is included, and a brief video introduction from him is played alongside this. Disc One of the Blu- ray opens with trailers for Dumbo: Special Edition, The Princess and the Frog, and Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure. Additional previews can be found for Disney Blu- ray, G- Force, Up, Santa Buddies, Ponyo, Beauty and the Beast: Diamond Edition, and Disney Parks.

The DVD copy this set includes features all of these ads along with additional ones for D2. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse": Mickey's Choo Choo Express, Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, and Disney Movie Rewards.
