Walt Disney's first animated film has finally arrived on Blu-ray. It's a features loaded set that conveniently includes a DVD and a Blu-ray for those who haven't made the jump yet.

You know the story and revisiting the classic film on Blu-ray is sure to be a huge draw.

Honestly, I never liked Snow White and unlike with Pinocchio, revisiting it didn't change my feelings on it. So, I'll not spend any time on the actual film itself but instead I'll tell you about the aspects of the set.

For me, I really didn't notice much of a difference between the Blu-ray and the DVD, at least in terms of picture quality. It looks nice, granted it doesn't fill the screen but you can have the option of black bars or a special matte that surrounds the picture, but it's not really anything to write home about. The sound on the other hand seems a lot crisper on the Blu-ray.

The special features are aplenty on the Blu-ray, not so much on the DVD, and anyone who is interested in the history of the film, and even of Disney itself, will get an eyeful here. There is everything from games to some rather interested newly discovered storyboards, music videos, and a sneak peak of The Princess and the Frog.

Snow White is of course a must have for any Disney fans out there. It is a much loved and much respected film that is presented extraordinarily well here. Personally, I'm not a fan of the movie so I was less than crazy about what I am seeing but for those who love the film, they may find themselves blown away.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is available on DVD and Blu-ray now.
