About Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:
Celebrated as an entertainment landmark for over 70 years, the first full-length animated film ever made, and
still the 'fairest of them all,” Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' world premiere represented a major milestone
for the world of animation and a giant leap forward for The Walt Disney Company. Presented with a 1939
honorary Academy Award® for “significant screen innovation which has charmed millions, and pioneered a
great new entertainment field," Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of the most beloved and most watched
films in history. As one of the first films ever to be designated for preservation by the Library of Congress, it
has been entertaining moviegoers and critics alike for decades. It is also the first film ever to have a motion
picture soundtrack, as well as the first film to use music to advance the story. To date, Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs has been released theatrically a total of nine times.
Synopsis:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the time-honored story of a beautiful princess whose blossoming beauty
disturbs her stepmother the Queen. Each day the Queen asks a mysterious magic mirror the quintessential
question: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" As long as the mirror answers the
Queen's name, all is well. However, when one day the mirror replies with Snow White's name, the evil Queen
begins her quest to kill the young girl, so she may once again be "the fairest of them all."
Snow White's escape from the evil Queen's plan leads her deep into the forest and to a small cottage where she
meets, in one of the most famous scenes in motion picture history, the Seven Dwarfs. One day—when "off to
work" they go—the wicked Queen persuades Snow White to take a bite of a poisonous apple that places a
powerful sleeping curse on the young beauty. Heartbroken, the dwarfs make a glass coffin for their friend,
because she is too beautiful to bury. Only when a handsome Prince—who had previously fallen in love with
Snow White—finds her and kisses her, does she awaken, to “live happily ever after."
The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition is priced at $39.99 SRP.
STREET DATE: October 6, 2009
the revolutionary new Diamond Collection brings audiences the most immersive and highest-level
viewing experience, that includes unparalleled features, exclusive high definition content and updatable

new heights unlike anything before, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition marks the
