Oh, was Emmy a former Movie Tales star?

But you see, there is hope yet it could happen...

Should us fans get together and petition or send letters or E-mail or make a big site and spread word?!

No, I don't believe Emmy ever appeared in a MovieTale. She would have been the perfect Cinderella tho.

I know back when this release was announced I told myself that I would wait until November to buy the 2 Disc DVD because I don't have a Blu-Ray player but I'm really excited for this release! I think this weekend I'll go pick up a Blu-Ray copy just so I can watch the DVD! Plus, I sorta want that purple SE (the one that's on sale for $40 at Best Buy), as I have no real use for the Dwarf plushies, and the $250 deluxe edition is WAY out of my price range. Maybe I'll get the $40 SE with the $10 off and get it for $30, if I can round up $30 by this weekend!

Great job to Kelvin for the amazing review, and also for making me want it more!

I just don't want to miss out like I did with the first DVD. I didn't have a DVD player back then, and I wasn't completely into Disney, although my VHS copy from the '90s had just broken. Then in 2005 I searched for months and finally found the DVD used for $20. Similar thing with Beauty and the Beast in 2002 - my 1990s VHS copy was wearing out and we still did not have a DVD player, although my parents would go on to purchase one 2 or 3 weeks later. Even if I had waited for my parents to get a DVD player (which I had no idea they were thinking about doing that - I was only 10 and hardly had any idea of what a DVD was!) - I still would not have purchased the DVD because I watch the majority of my movies in my room, and at the time all I had in there was a VHS player. Fast forward to 2005 - I tracked down a DVD copy. Go me.

So this time, I want to do it right. I want to get the film on Blu-Ray for when / if I get a player. Before SB goes OOP I will also get that. I'm doing my Disney collection right this time, dammit!


Sorry, it appears that what was originally going to be a simple statement has turned into a full-on rant / life story. Well, now. This is awkward.

Fabulo job on the review, K!

Kudos to Kelvin for the Shrill review.



It's a bit comforting to know that some material was simply repurposed (two of the storyboard-to-film comparisons as "In Walt's Words", two abandoned concepts as stills), but still, there's some material that was just too vital to be left out (camera tests and live-action reference footage, mainly). Having the trailers solely available through "Disney Through the Decades" instead of also on its own (like in the 2001 DVD) seems deceptive, but at least they're still included.

Anyway, come November, I dread to think what material from the Blu-Ray won't make it to DVD since the review hinted that "some but not all" of it will be carried over. If it's stuff like the Blu-Ray games and DisneyView, that's understandable, and I doubt I'll cry over the loss of the animated shorts. But it would suck for DVD-only enthusiasts if any of the Hyperion Studios featurettes are only on the Blu-Ray.

Agreed.

So, for those who still have the Platinum DVD but want to get the Blu-ray, they'd be well-advised to hang onto both for the collective bonus features? Sweet.

Does anyome know excactly what has been left out from the 2001 release? Thanks

Does the DVD (the new one, not the old) boast the trailers from the film's rereleases?

I think I'm going to just stick with the Platinum Edition. I think, however, I might get the DVD (the one that comes out in November) for my sister and her husband for Christmas. Where they live, they do have a handful of Disney movies, but Snow White isn't one of them.

I made a detailed list that can be found on page 42.

Want2beBelle wrote:Does anyome know excactly what has been left out from the 2001 release? Thanks

Here's goofystitch's list from page 42, though I've added some blue text to note that some of it is available, but in a different form.:

• Still the Fairest of Them All: The Making of Snow White - (38:52) A documentary that provides a brief overview of the history of the Disney studio up until Snow White before mostly focusing on tales from the production. It is hosted by the lovely Angela Lansbury and was most likely left off the Diamond Edition because most of the information is repeated in the new Hyperion Studios feature.
  
  "Some Day My Prince Will Come" music video by Barbra Streissand - (4:03) Replaced on the Diamond Edition by a music video from Tiffany Thorton.
  
  Textual History - (0:00) The DVD offered three text documents. They were a Walt Disney Biographical Timeline, Snow White Production Timeline, and the Original Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale. Since much of the production timeline and Walt's biography are covered in the Hyperion Studios feature, it is obvious why these were left off the Diamond Edition. And the Original fairy tale was probably left off because it is darker than people like Disney to be.
  
  Storyboard to Film Comparisions - (26:61) Four storyboard/film sequences were presented (The Forest Chase, Cleaning House, The Dwarfs Chase The Witch, and The Queen's Order) with a general introduction. Each sequence was presented three times (storyboard, final film, and split screen comparison). If you watch one of each with the introduction, the feature is 9:01, but if you watch all of them, the total runtime is 26:61. This feature was most likely left off the Diamond Edition to save space and because it would have needed to be redone, since it was originally made in SD and fullscreen.
  "The Forest Chase" and "Cleaning House" are available on the Blu-Ray, but they've been remade as "In Walt's Words" featurettes, similar to the feature on the Platinum Edition of Bambi.
  
  Art & Design - (1:43) John Canemaker briefly talks about the design and style of the film. Most likely left off the Diamond Edition because the Hyperion Studios feature repeats the information.
  
  About Layouts and Backgrounds - (4:37) Scott McQueen talks about the importance of the backgrounds. Most likely left off the Diamond Edition because the Hyperion Studios feature repeats the information.
  
  Excerpt from "The Story of Silly Symphony"- (1:36) Briefly talks about Snow White, but was probably left off the Diamond Edition because it has more to do with "The Old Mill," which is included in the Diamond Edition.
  
  Excerpts from "Tricks of Our Trade" - There are two excerpts. The first (7:39) is a detailed explanation of how the multiplane camera works. This was most likely left off the Diamond Edition because it is more concentrated on "The Old Mill" and "Bambi" and only mentions Snow White. The second (4:10) shows how Disney did live action motion study. The scene they study is Happy doing a dance, but the information is most likely repeated in the Hyperion Studios feature, which is most likely why this was left off the Diamond Edition.
  
  Camera and Tests - (12:13) Scott MacQueen hosts this feature about the technical aspects of animation and color tests for them. Most likely left off the Diamond Edition because the information is repeated in the Hyperion Studios feature.
  
  Live Action Reference - (6:34) Highlights of the live action reference footage are paired with an early demo of "You're Never Too Old To Be Young" with a commentary by an uncredited voice (most likely John McQueen). Most likely left off the Diamond Edition because the information is repeated in the Hyperion Studios feature.
  
  Abandoned Concepts - (8:25) Three abandoned concepts are presented (Snow White Meets the Prince, a fantasy version of "Some Day My Prince Will Come," and The Prince is Captured) with a general introduction by John Canemaker. While the Hyperion Studios feature does have an abandoned concepts gallery, the absence of the three sequences from the Diamond Edition is puzzling.
  Two of the abandoned concepts ("Snow White Meets the Prince", "The Prince is Captured") are presented in in stills rather than the video version on the DVD (with the stills in a montage set to the film score). The fantasy version of "Some Day My Prince Will Come" is not included.
  
  The Restoration - (5:19) A featurette about the restoration process, but it only pertains to the 2001 restoration, so it's inclusion on the Diamond Edition would have been informative, but semi-pointless.
  
  Deleted Scenes - Out of 5 deleted scenes on the Platinum Edition, only 2 of them are on the Diamond Edition ("Music in Your Soup" and Building a Bed). The Platinum Edition had an introduction by John Canemaker (0:40), The Witch's Cauldron (0:40), The Bedroom Argument (2:19), and The Lodge Meeting (1:53). The two scenes included in the Diamond Edition total 11 minutes and were remastered in HD, but the other three deleted scenes (totaling 4 minutes) should have been included as well. Their absence is puzzling.
  "The Lodge Meeting" actually is included, as it's simply been combined with "Building A Bed" as one single scene instead of two separate ones. "The Bedroom Argument" is an extra in one of the sections of Hyperion Studios, thus making "The Witch at the Cauldron" the only deleted scene not carried over.
  
  The Los Angeles Permier - (1:13) A vintage and nostalgic newsreel about the elaborate Hollywood premier. Its short run time and glimpse into the golden age of Hollywood made it an obvious inclusion in the new set, but for some reason it did not make the jump.
  
  Original Premier Radio Broadcast - (29:59) This audio-only feature is again, vintage and nostalgic. Certainly this wouldn't have taken up much room on the disc, but Disney seems to be under the impression that nobody cares about vintage promotional material, which is most likely why this is not on the Diamond Edition.
  
  Trailers - (12:00) Two trailers from 1937 and rerelease trailers from 1944, 1958, 1967, 1987, 1993, and the 2001 DVD release were included in the Platinum Edition. While Disney mostly shies away from putting vintage publicity material on current releases, they did provide them for Sleeping Beauty and all of them (except for maybe the 2001 DVD trailer) would have been a nice inclusion on the Diamond Edition.
  The trailers are available within the "Disney Through the Decades" feature. On the 2001 DVD they were available through there as well as on their own.
  
  A Trip Through the Walt Disney Studios - (10:58 ) The original film that basically served as a glorified promotion for Snow White to RKO is presented here with an introduction by Scott McQueen. While the new Hyperion Studios feature probably reuses some of the footage from this film, it would have been nice to have it in full on the Diamond Edition. Sadly, it was probably not included since it was a promotional piece. Walt Disney even uses words like "Selling of the product" in the film.
  
  How Disney Cartoons Are Made - (8:54) Another vintage film, this one was shown to audiences and again, was a glorified promotion for Snow White. This feature also had an introduction by Scott McQueen. While the Hyperion Studios is probably more in depth as to "how Disney cartoons are made," this vintage and nostalgic piece would have been warmly welcome on the new set. Again, since this was promotional material, the seems to be the reason why it was left off the Diamond Edition.
  
  Vintage Audio - (42:60) The vintage audio section of the Platinum Edition consisted of three radio broadcasts (two from the Lux Radio Theater and one promo called "Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air") and two demo recordings. One is from the recording session for "The Silly Song" and the other is the deleted song "You're Never Too Old To Be Young." Since the radio broadcasts are promotional pieces, that is probably the main reason that Disney didn't include them in the Diamond Edition. While the absence of the two songs is semi-confusing, the latter is included on the CD soundtrack that is currently available.

The original "Disney Through the Decades" was introduced by Roy E. Disney and the "2000s" segment was presented by D.B. Sweeney, but in the new Diamond Edition, it's presented by John Ratzenberger (who also replaced Roy for the intro).

Also, the galleries have a different number of stills in them (some added stills in the Diamond Edition, some lost stills). I don't have the Blu-Ray, so I'm not entirely sure if some stills were simply moved to different areas or not. But anyway, based on the numbers provided in the review...

Thanks for the kind words, guys! Yeah, it's pretty deceptive to hide the trailers within "Disney Through the Decades," but at least the menu gives you the option of accessing each one (and each decade segment) individually, something I probably should've clarified in my review.

As for the galleries, as far as I could tell, the only category-shifting going on is in moving some of the live-action photos from the PE's character design galleries into their own section, so the comparisons Albert made are spot-on. It's a shame so much character concept art was lost, but I'm satisfied by what's present, especially since the DE adds so much. I'll always miss the virtual gallery format with docent audio, though.

Sounds like some of the "missing" supplements are really just hidden. So all they had to do to make me completely satisfied was, in addition to what they have, port the one deleted scene "The Witch at the Cauldron" (0:40), the live action reference (6:34), and The Los Angeles Permier (1:13). Seriously, that wouldn't have taken up too much room, even if it was in HD. A Trip Through the Walt Disney Studios (10:58 ), How Disney Cartoons Are Made (8:54), and the radio stuff would've been nice too.

And the price gouging with this release...oh wait

I'm really interested in this magic mirror, sounds very next-gen. Hey Disney, you know what seems even more next-gen? Offering addition supplements after the movies released via download through BDLive like Paramount did with Transformers.

I remember everyone gushing with superlatives over the Magic Mirror menus from the original Platinum; good to hear that Disney has upped the ante in that respect for the BD.

Well, the Book Set only comes with the DVD combo pack. That's consistent.

I've been thinking whether or not I should get Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty along with Snow White tomorrow at Best Buy. Part of me wants to get them, but the other part wants me to wait until they both get released on Diamond Editions. Should I get them or wait?

Get them. Their Diamonds are years from now.

ajmrowland wrote:Well, the Book Set only comes with the DVD combo pack. That's consistent.

Well, at least in the US the book comes with the bluray while in Italy you can only get it with the DVD. So, no book for me since I'll be getting SW on bluray

By the way, did anyone check if images in the galleries
are presented so that they fill the entire widescreen or just the 4:3 "safe area" as they did with Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio on bluray?

Thanks goofystitch!! and Escapy!!! Your the best I was asking cause now, i am going to hunt for the old dvd ugh... anyway i don't understand with all the space on blu-ray, y not put it in their, it makes no sense even if they have to rework some of the things....even the review said it, thanks for the review by the way UD! I understand y they didn't put some of the old items on their...but i personally would've liked to see the old hollywood premiere and other items, but what can u do? I am just grateful, i got a copy of the movie!

Well, I was pretty sure that I wouldn't buy this, because I'm not Snow White's biggest fan, I already have the Platinum, and I don't own a Blu-Ray player, but my boyfriend and I just decided to buy a PS3, and the UD email got me way too excited. So I bought it with Up! and even with the shipping to Canada it was still 15$ cheaper than buying it on amazon.ca! Thanks so much for the info UD, and Kelvin for the review!

Also I saw myself in 5 years hunting down eBay and paying 60$ for what turned out to be a bootleg and I decided not to go down that road again. Disney DVDs were a cautionary tale, indeed.

I agree with ajmrowland get them while you can on PE! It's going to be around 6 or 7 years before we see Diamond Editions of these two, so I would get them now before they return to the vault. I bought Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray (I don't have a player!) last year soon after I got the DVD and a planning on buying the Blu-Ray versions of Pinocchio and Snow White for the future, which will bring my Blu-Ray collection up to a grand total of three!!! Whoo
