New on DVD: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

A new edition of Disney's classic SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS is released on DVD today.

In a marketing move that was a bit confusing, a Blu-Ray edition was released in early October.

I'm still trying to confirm how many of the new extras on the Blu-Ray release are on today's standard DVD release.

Ultimate Disney posted a detailed review of the Blu-Ray edition and compared it to the previous outstanding Platinum release. Most of the extras on the Blu-Ray edition are new, and hopefully that is also the case with the standard DVD.

(Update: It appears that many of the new extras are only on the Blu-Ray version.)

Earlier this month the San Francisco Chronicle published a short but interesting interview with dancer Marge Champion, who worked for two years as the model for Snow White.
