Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Hi ho! A 4K restoration of the original 1937 animation classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” is set to land on Disney+ later this month.
The 4K version of the film will be available on Disney+ worldwide on Oct. 16, timed for the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Co.
Disney previously announced a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition of “Snow White” would be available on starting Oct. 10. Disney shared before-and-after images comparing the original print to the 4K restoration of the film: According to the company, the restored version “is the result of the combined efforts of the Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation team, working closely with key artists from Walt Disney Animation Studios.” The team, which also recently worked together on the restoration of 1950’s “Cinderella,” including Disney Animation artists Michael Giaimo (production designer for the upcoming animated musical adventure “Wish,” as well as “Frozen” and “Frozen 2”) and animator/director Eric Goldberg (head of hand-drawn animation for Disney Animation’s newest short, “Once Upon A Studio,” director, “Pocahontas,” “Fantasia/2000”). “The opportunity to help restore Snow White was both an honor and a challenge,” Goldberg said in a statement. “As the very first Walt Disney feature, Mike Giaimo and I felt we owed a debt to history to get it looking as beautiful, and as accurate to the original colors, as we could.
The muted palette and the delicate watercolor backgrounds evoke the illustrated fairy tales that Walt so loved, and the story and characters continue to resonate to this day.
