Disney's first full-length animated masterpiece features all the elements of a classic fairy tale--a beautiful heroine, an evil queen, Prince Charming...and a septet of whistling dwarfs. In hiding from her jealous and wicked stepmother, the fair Snow White takes refuge with a band of kind-hearted, hard-working dwarves: Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey and Doc. Eventually the vain queen finds Snow White and tricks her into eating a poisoned apple. Luckily, a wandering prince comes to her rescue, but can he break the evil queen's spell? <br> <br> Based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS was initially thought a crazy idea for a feature film by those at Walt Disney. However, its lush production and charming characters proved otherwise. Standing the test of time since its release in 1937, the film has entranced audiences for decades, teaching them to never be vain and always whistle while they work. Less

Who better to bring Roald Dahl's adored children's story to life than the mastermind behind inventive films like EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and BEETLEJUICE? From Tim Burton's opening shot--against Danny Elfman's eerie score--this CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY is recognizably darker than the Mel Stuart-directed 1971 version starring Gene Wilder. Though the mysterious chocolate factory has been closed for 15 years, it continues to produce and ship candy all over the world. When a contest promises a tour of the plant to the lucky finders of five golden tickets hidden inside wrappers, no one is more excited than Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), an impoverished boy whose family lives mere steps from the factory. Though he can barely afford even one candy bar, fate intervenes, and Charlie finds the last golden ticket. <br> <br> Joined at the gates by a group of despicable brats named Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Augustus Gloop, and Mike Teavee, Charlie and his Grandfather (David Kelly) venture inside propr...

Professional Reviews   
  (03/01/2008, Emperor): "The film that launched Walt Disney's glorious career as the king of animation still holds up over 70 years later as a true classic of its kind." (07/28/2005, p.92, Peter Travers): "Tim Burton surrounds Depp with miraculous visuals of spun sugar and creeping menace. Their missionary lunacy is a treat for twisted children of all ages."

"Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to work we go!" Is that a German spelling of 'high,' I wonder?

With my new DVD player working after adjustments, I have been treated to a viewing of the 1937 Disney masterpiece with all of its bonus features on two discs. I?m not sure if I ever watched it as... Read full review »

Pros Outstanding art, great restoration, strong story, Villainy the way it should be
Cons None.
Recommended it? Yes

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" has always been the only Disney film that my Very Grumpy Father can tolerate. He's really not that bad, but he maintains that the studio hit its peak in 1937 with "Snow White," and has been churning out cheap imitations of that masterpiece ever since.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - you know, the one with Gene Wilder - used to play once a year on TV when I was a kid. Only once, and I relished every delicious moment. Oh, the lickable wallpaper, the chocolate river, the delectable fantasy room where each and every thing was sweet and... Read full review »

Pros Neat-o ending, nice special FX
Cons Huge fans of the 1971 version may be put off.
Recommended it? Yes

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (1971) is one of those movies I must have watched over a hundred times as a kid. Even just writing about it, I can hear the music in my head as Charlie goes to open that last candy bar...

The prospect of a remake didn't exactly send me off the deep... Read full review »
