Snow White - Blu-Ray Movie Review

Commentary

Called ‘Disney’s Folly” at the time, critics said a full length color cartoon feature would cause vision problems for those who watched it in theaters. Of course, they were wrong and this movie literally launched the career of Walt Disney Studios. After so many years, it was a revelation to watch this movie again and the BD transfer is a wonder to behold! The film is absolutely pristine without blemishes and dirt spots marring the print. A few scenes here and there are a bit softly focused, but the movie as a whole looks very detailed and colorful. Hard to imagine the time it took for all of those artists to hand paint each cell. This is stuff we all take for granted with all of the CGI movies our kids watch these days. The story moves right along with just enough humor, thrill and chills to make the kid inside each of us smile again. There are several songs that will stick inside your head long after the movie is over, too. Hi Ho!

Technical

The sound has been redone in 7.1 and is as easy on the ears as the picture is on the eyes. Most of the surround effects are ambient noises, but the dialog and songs ring loud and true. The swelling music seems more open and spatial than the original mono soundtrack, without tape hiss or crackles. There is some bass present at times, but your sub will befriend Sleepy.
