Holiday Gift Guide:Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Review

 

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the time-honored 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, in one of the most famous scenes in motion picture history, the Seven Dwarfs.
Once “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 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.”  

 This movie was first made in 1937 and is the first American animated feature film in movie history and the first film to have a soundtrack album released!
On the blu ray bonus material you’ll be able to look firsthand at the Hyperion Studios.

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure Never Land Nomenclature

In anticipation of the new Tinker bell DVD, Disney has put together some Never Land Nomenclature to get you prepared for the release on October 27.

I’ll admit i have been spelling it wrong, and am a little embarrassed by it.

The correct way to spell Tinker Bell is Tinker (space) Bell. Tinker Bell is a formal name and consists of two words with the first letter of each word capitalized.

Other names Tinker Bell is often called:  Miss Bell and Tink.

Never Land is two words, both capitalized with no hyphen.

Pixie Hollow is two words, both capitalized with no hyphen.

Pixie dust is two words with no hyphen.

Clank & Bobble- Tinker fairies

Blaze- A young firefly

Fairy Gary-Head of the Pixie Dust Distribution Center

Lyria- A Storytelling Fairy

Viola- A Summoning Fairy

The Trolls-Guardians of the North Forest Bridge

Getting ready for the release of SnowWhite and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be released on Tuesday October 6 on Blu ray +DVD combo pack, I love Disney movies, and Snow White is among one of my favorites.

I learned some really interesting facts about the movie like…

Baldy, Stubby and Biggo-Ego were once considered as names for the Dwarfs or that six of them have eyebrows fashioned after Walt Disney’s very own expressive eyebrows.

Do you know allthe Dwafs names?

Mickey’s Christmas Carol

 

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and many more of your favorite characters join the cast in this delightfully charming adaptation of a classic holiday tale.  Ebeneezer Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck) is far too greedy to understand that Christmas is the timefor kindness and generosity.  So, with the guidance of some wise ghosts (with Goofy and Jiminy Cricket), and the examples set by his clerk Bob Cratchit (Mickey Mouse) and nephew Fred (Donald Duck), Scrooge learns how to embrace the true spirit of the season.
