Snow White Re-release Platinum Discussion & Cover Art Th

[a-net-fan]

Just remember having more isnt always better. In the case of Snow White, it would be awful if parts of the film that were never completed for the film were added to the movie! Walt did right by eliminating the sequencese that ended up being cut as it would have added nothing to the picture. Eliminated sequences arent usually a bad thing.

For example I enjoy Pinocchio but after watching it recently (anticipating an outcry) I have to say that it would have been a better movie if the length of some scenes were cut. Some parts just drag on and it slows the pace of the story too much. Other scenes I dont feel contribute anything to the movie. Pinocchio has an amazing core, and is a good movie but it is flawed and would have benefited from being tightened up a bit.

As fun as it is to see what "could have been" or "almost was".......those things are better left seperate on the bonus features and out of the final picture itself.

I'm not advocating adding or changing stuff to Snow White. I'm just saying Pocahontas is fine because they probably would have kept it in had the toddlers shown a little patience. Even though it's on the newer DVD they still give you the option to view the film without it.

Yea I dont mind that song added to the movie really because its good. I didnt care for the addition in Beauty and the Beast tho. I guess some Disney Movies are more precious to me then others. Some I dont mind them tampering with in a tasteful way but others ......well you just dont mess with perfection.

Okay , we've seen the Blu Ray Cover Art , but does a Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs DVD cover art image exist yet?

I guess it will be exactly the same , but without the Blu Ray surround?

However , going back a while before Sleeping Beauty Platinum Edition DVD/Blu Ray was released there was a Sleeping Beauty discussion forum post , in which there were about four or five suggested covers for SB including Maleficent and when the movie finally came out she wasn't included as her horned self but in her Dragon guise!

I wonder if there are any further Snow White Cover Art try outs/variants available?

Notice the similarities?

I tried to post my own images directly, by the way, but apparently, I need a website. These are not my pics.

Deco King, there aren't any larger images of the French Sleeping Beauty possible covers than the ones posted in the Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray threads, and also, I don't think Disney will be showing us the possible different covers for Snow White, and for all we know, there probably aren't any. The Sleeping Beauty ones, and the Cinderella ones, too, were for people to vote on. And Disney probably didn't want them leaked to the public. Well, we're not the public, but you know...


It's extremely late, and I don't know when, if ever 271286 will come back to this thread to see this, but I wanted to apologize for something.

I still like the BaTB cover that is as you call it "covered in shadow"... I think it fits the movie very well... It shows the dance which is one of the signature scenes in the movie... Making the room disappear in shadows and focusing on the dancing couple only makes it more romantic IMO... Symbolizing that they are in their own little world...

I agree the original poster makes it look like Belle and the Beast are in their own little world, but shouldn't they're love be the brightness in the dark, not the other way around? And so it doesn't make sense, and the rose poster took much more thought and artsyness. At least you agree that's artsy.

And I apologize for saying that they should be bright while the rest of the world is dark. Though that would make sense, it also makes sense for their figures to be silhouetted against a glow that surrounds them, like it comes from them, comes off of them, comes between them, because the rest of the background is in shadow, too, so the whole place isn't glowing, they, "their own little world", is glowing.

I still say the first posters were only previewing the films before the real posters. I mean, since when is not seeing a character's' face, which shows a character's emotion, so much more adult and artistic and better? And Aladdin's second, "real" poster isn't too cartoony. And now that I think about it, the second Beauty and the Beast one was actually creative because it had the Beast looming in the clouds that represent the cloudy spell and Belle's "I want adventure in a great wide somewhere" actually being in front of the castle, enforcing that the castle is the adventure she seeks to run off to...BUT it's just too cartoony in colors and the enchanted objects being there, I guess.

^But as has been said before, it was made to attract children and families to the movie. The first poster was to attract an adult audience. That, I think, is what most disney movies today are lacking in the advertising: multi-generational promotion.

How do you know that? That wouldn't make sense, anyway. To pique the interest of adults to a coming attraction, and then when the film is out, or much closer to being out, appeal to a totally different audience?

I still say those posters are covered in darkness because the film itself is supposed to have little known about it. It's a preview poster. A preliminary poster. A teaser poster.

It's on the DVD. The Posters Gallery with the "Guided Tour", it inexplicably noted how some posters were intended to appeal to adults, while others were made for children. It's more like two poster campaigns, actually.

And I say Teaser posters are the best because of how little they show. Check the new ones for Half Blood Prince. BatB and Aladdin are examples, as well.

Disney Duster answered my last post thus : Deco King , there aren't any larger images of the French Sleeping Beauty possible covers than the ones posted in the Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray threads, and also, I don't think Disney will be showing us the possible different covers for Snow White, and for all we know, there probably aren't any.

I wonder Disney Duster if there will be any French Blanche Neige Cover Art Images after Pinocchio is released - and where did the French Sleeping eauty Cover Art images first appear please?

A friend Brian Sibley has contributed to the Snow White DVD by recording interviews re Snow White whilst he was in New York recently. You can access his comments by checking his blog via Brian's website www.briansibley.com

Are you saying we can listen to his comments about SW on his website?
I couldn't find any...

Thanks

[Deco King]

No , you cannot listen to his comments as these will be copyrighted by Disney , however he mentions in his blog various comments regarding his recording the interviews for the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs DVD/Blu ray Platinum Edition.

In addition he has posted a marvellous Tenggren illustration of the Boil Cauldron Boil dungeon scene as the Witch stirs her great cauldron of poison for the Magic Wishing Apple , prior to dipping the Apple into it's depths!

[hoojib127]

I just wish the title were in some sort of shield/border. I was looking forward to see what they'd come up with for SW and BatB.

Yeah, are they phasing this concept out or something? Jeez, they can never just stick with one thing, can they?

Cool! Can you post the link to that page, please?

Thanks a lot!

Here is a link to Brian Sibley's Blog : www.briansibleysblog.blogspot.com/ There is currently a superb article on the Viewmaster Three Dimensional Reels with particular reference to Walt Disney's animated features , but as to the illustration I mentioned just look at the blog links on the right hand side and find the link to Gustav Tenggren's fabulous Witch watercolour painting!

Glad you enjoyed the link to Brian's blog! What did you think of the Gustav Tenggren Witch? I think it's a really great atmospheric drawing/painting /image! Amazon.com has this book of Tenggren's illustrations for Disney's Snow White August 18th 2009 : http://www.amazon.com/Walt-Disneys-Whit ... 96&sr=1-11

There are lots of very interesting links regarding Walt Disney's output on the blog/Brian's website.

As you can see Brian's heart is really in what he does , and he has done lots of Disney related programmes for BBC Radio over the last few years.

Brian has had comments on the last few Disney DVD's Platinum Editions : Jungle Book , 101 Dalmatians , Sleeping Beauty , Pinocchio and next Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!
