2009.
The highly-anticipated release of Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs fittingly launches a spectacular all-new product line

1937, the revolutionary new Diamond Collection brings audiences
the most immersive and high-level viewing experience including
unparalleled features, exclusive high-definition content, superior
picture and sound and much, much more.
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 ever films earmarked for preservation by the
Library of Congress, it has been entertaining moviegoers and critics
alike for decades. It was 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-honoured 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 the Seven Dwarfs, in one of the most famous scenes in motion picture history. 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
dear 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."
Review: Relive the classic tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Kids will enjoy the extras like Dopey's Wild Mine Ride Game, which tests their memory skills.
