An Important Petition

Hi, folks- As you know, Max Fleischer's Popeye was (quite deservedly) Mickey's chief rival in the thirties. Max's son Richard went to work for Walt. Today the old sailor owns the least-served animation legacy out there. Help right this wrong by signing here and calling for the return of a classic pi...

I was an animation student; these things floated around...we had 'em all. They were great learning tools, needless to say.

There was an amazing, very chilling scene of the Beast snapping a wolf's neck at the storyboard phase- boarded by Glen Keane- but after all these years I don't remember if it made the film or not. I'd be surprised if it did. I think at the moment of the "snap" it was seen from a close-up r...

I was wondering, could this possibly be just a different region's Snow White DVD? Durned if I wasn't thinking the same thing, until reading MinnieMe's excellent response below. MinnieMe, thank you for your sage observations and well-taken advice, which I will follow. I'm a little red-faced here sin...

Hi, MinnieMe, and thanks for the welcome as well as the response. Here's a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6415319175&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT I've now noticed that the holgram pattern is quite visible in the picture, meaning an actual (non-sto...

Oh, I've seen the film a few times. I still haven't popped the disc in, but I'm sure you know Disney actually released a fake widescreen version to theatres quite a few years back, with the top and bottom of the screen cut off... The hologram I mentioned is just sort of an overlaid sparkle pattern t...

I've got a nice inspirational sketch from "Snow White" somewhere- it's a very nicely rendered pencil drawing of the turtle poking his head in the cottage door and casting a shadow. I have a lot of older animation art around the house, but not much that's Disney- a neat cel of a Freddie Moo...

Thanks, Luke, and thanks for the welcome. It sure looks real enough. The disc cover art is printed with the hologram effects and everything. The disc description on the back includes a listing for "VIP Tour of Disc Two" but is vague about whether the set is one disc or two. The case is onl...

Snow White Platinum Edition Question

Greetings, Disnoids- a question about the Snow White Platinum edition. I just bought it off eBay and received only one disc. Was there a one-disc version, and if so, why was it still called "Platinum"? Shouldn't the case have made the distinction? I can't find any distinction to indicate a...
