It's like a Art Of book? anyway the merchandise's logo with the bluebird and the ribbon is better.

Haha...funny that they use a pastiche of the music used in the teaser for Spirit, originally written for the feel good sports movie "Rudy" by Jerry Goldsmith.

"More entertaining?" What?

The power of HD holds no boundaries!

Spirit? you mean the DreamWorks movie,right? and for the "More entertaining" part,I guess it's for the Dwarfs scenes.

Am I wrong, or do we now hear a lot more of Snow's Castellotti-Boop voice featured in quote-bites, which they generally tended to avoid featuring in past modern-era ads?

(Nice that classic-mentality has made us all a little more tolerant over the years.

The Snow White Blu-Ray set is being released almost two months before the regular 2-disc set...

This is the first time I've seen this happen and could be looked on as a change in Disney strategy. We'll see how this gets reflected in the sales.

Excerpted from ToonZone:

"The Blu-ray edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be released on October 6, 2009, with the Deluxe 2-Disc Classic standard definition DVD coming out on November 24.

"The Blu-ray release will consist of two Blu-ray discs and one DVD, and will carry a suggested retail price of $39.99. The full press release follows..."

This will be the second release of Snow White on DVD.

I'm hoping Disney addresses the complaints fans had about the lack of grain on the original DVD. Overcleaning the image made the film look almost like a direct-to-video film!

I'm expecting Snow White - was also reported the seven week difference in BD and DVD release - to look like Pinocchio...hence no grain and a super solid image that makes the 1937 frames look amazing but sucks all the life from them.

Ah man,

Not again!

I'm going to have dig out the old LD set and do something with it!

This is ridiculous...! I want films to LOOK like film, NOT video!

I understand if it's super-grainy and they have to do something with that but don't remove all of it, Disney!

From UD:

In less depressing news, Disney plans to offer three premium editions of Snow White, each centering on the Blu-ray/DVD combo. Details are sparse thus far, but you'll be able to get Walt's first animated feature in a 7 Dwarf Plush Pack ($79.99 SRP), with book packaging ($59.99 SRP),
or in a Limited Edition Box Set ($249.99) housing at least a book, pins, lithographs, and some fancy packaging. Though the premium sets are not yet up for preorder, we've added a tentative packaging shot to our Upcoming DVD Cover Art page.

Here's the pic:

OMG...!!

The pictures look so lovely, but yikes at the prices. I hope, hope the $250 version is like an all in one package, because really, I can't choose between the other two. Frankly at that price I would think it's a given. Love book packaging and seeing as I never got the UK box set - because finding it is incredibly hard, much less affordable - this would do nicely as a replacement, and the plush set, you guys know how much of nut I am for those... hope they're cute.

It's about time R1 receives something this nice, (again) after other countries have been getting fancy box sets for years. Yes, quite expensive, but for Snowy - my favorite Walt era film - it's worth it! Can't wait to hear more details.

On a side note, the new Blu cover is atrocious! Ugly and why have the Witch in the center!? Unless it's lenticular, but even still, tacky... hope they change it again.
