Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs

[DVDiva]

thanx! the sharing and comparison is good but we need naman the price difference, kasi walang nagpopost kung magkano yung region 3, o baka naman naoverlook ko lang?
thanx again!

Actually Levi already posted the price in Reply #11 of this thread. You may have overlooked it on page one.

DVDiva,

thank you very much ha sabi ko na nga at nalagpasan ko eh, .

siguro for marketing purposes kaya may mga disney titles na discontinued by next year.
baka may ibang format na naman or bagong mga pakulo ba.

thanx again!

I heard (from another forum) that the snow white dvd will be discontinued on jan. 31 2002. I can't confirm this but some americans have even bought several copies for themselves with the intention of selling it on ebay once its value goes up.

So, to anyone out there debating whether or not to get it, you might wanna factor this into your thinking.

That is true. The Snow White DVD will only be available for a limited time, after which, Disney will keep the title off the shelves. It's a common Disney practice especially on their lucrative franchise (The Lion King, Aladdin, Cinderella, Beauty & The Beast, etc.) so they can release them again ... say, after 10 years with new technology and at a higher price.

Coming up next from Disney is Dumbo DVD.

well i may doubt that....coz' when they 1st released the limited ed. dvd versions of little mermaid, pinochio, peter pan and so on...last year they said that they will also have this on moratorium and would stop selling them jan 1, 2001, but as you can see they are still much available in the market....

so i would not panic..coz it would take sometime before all the snow white dvd's would dry out from the store shelf....
just my experience with disney dvd's...

I think Cinderella is scheduled to come out in a Platinum Collection in 2005

If your Snow White dvd won't play under Windows XP, here's the patch from Microsoft.

I bought both the R1 and R3 of the Snow White DVD, specially for the purpose of determining what differences they had. And what I've come up with is pretty interesting. The post is rather long and accompanied by scans of both covers, so I've put it up at this site:

http://www.geocities.com/headlesschicken/snow.html

Basically the features are quite the same, with some few exceptions.

[benny]

Great work Komikero!   This is specially helpful to those (like me) who are deciding between R1 or R3. I missed out on the first offer - buy Snow White, get one Disney dvd free. Thanks.

[barrid]

I second the motion...

Me too, I'm also baffled thinking why should R1 be different in contents to other Regions.

[levi]

The CD holder of Disc 2 is falling off. I have to replace the double sided tape. At first I thought that it was really installed at the bottom but when it fell, I reinstalled it in the middle. These little problems are becoming annoying.

[aeris30]

I also have the R3 Snow white and was a little disappointed that it doesn't have the exact features, packaging etc. of the R1 disc. So I emailed Buenavista Home Video about it. Here's part of my email:

"Greetings from the Philippines!!! I just bought the Region 3 dvd of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at a local store. I found out that it doesn't have a 12 page booklet and has no dvd-rom features like the Region 1 dvd. Aren't all your
dvds for the different regions have the same content? I was really excited to buy this dvd only to find out that it lacks some of the features of the R1 release. I hope you can enlighten me on this matter."

And here's their reply:

"Thank you for your email.

Actually, only Region 1 DVD's are produced for the US. We are unfamiliar with who produces Region 3 DVD's, so we do not have access to any information on them.

Please write or call:

         Buena Vista Home Entertainment

For assistance."

In this case, since Viva Ents. is the Phil. licensee of Disney sila siguro ang nag-produce ng mga disney R3 dvds. Sana hindi naman siguro para maging mababa lang ang price ng mga R3 dvds kaya medyo kulang sa features or di maayos ang packaging. Kasi pareho lang naman ang price ng R1 dvd sa R3 dvd kung ico-convert mo.

Just had breakfast at mcdonald's. In the paper tray-liner, it advertises Disney's 100 or something. Part of the Disney's 100 thingie is that if you buy a Happy Meal, you CAN get a coupon for a P50.00 discount on the Snow White DVD or VHS from any VideoCity  at Sta. Lucia or SM Malls. I'm not so sure though if every Happy Meal has a coupon or swerte-swertehan lang.  

I'll post this also on the Buying Offline Threads.

So is there anyone out there that kept didn't open their R1 packs? (",) I got mine with the free DVD offer, and to tell you the truth, I'm not up to opening them. heehhehe

Oh well, I might as well get the R3 version. (",)

[LYON]

Snow White is daugther's favorite, I have to have it Kahit kailan pa yan lalabas...

[levi]

Its already available. Check out marketplace baka may magbenta ng R1 or you can ask Parc.

[Komikero]

Hello Lyon!

And it's available locally as an R3. But nowadays many Astrovision shops have sold them out, but I was told that new copies are coming soon.

Komikero,

You're very correct, last night I was roaming arround Ortigas center(SM Megamall, Shang and Robinsons) to look for Snow White..o walang tatawa   and I did not find any R3 DVD. Kahit sa Astro-Vision na sinasabi mo na magkakaroon ng stock, mukhang malabo na. And to think that on January 2002 Disney will stop selling/produce the SW Platinum edition, mas lalong mawawala na iyan sa mga stores maliban sa old stocks.

I saw one at a National Bookstore last week. It's in R3. And sells for P850.00

Hi CrUzSACK,

Saang National? Sa Megamall at Shangrilla..wala na...puro VCD at VHS nalang. Sa VideoCity wala narin. Hindi ako nagpa-panic ha  Sino bang nagsasabi na nagpapanic ako

Geoffrey

[bochog]

people!meron sa shopwise festival mall and "O" store sa rockwell, power plant. All of them on region 3 format. I think tinatago lang ng astrovision ang mga copies nila! Kala nila sila lang ang meron eh!

[Jude]

Pati sa Odyssey SM City Manila meron pa. I doubt na mauubusan, its not like Snow White is an underground movie. I think Disney just fools us into thinking that they'll be "limiting" stocks para mas tumaas ang demand. Baka kaya mabilis naubos sa Ortigas area because a disproportionate number of upper-middle class filipinos (dvd target market) shop in the malls there.

[kings5504]

para sa iba pang naghahanap ng Snow White DVD sa Megamall, I recall seeing copies of it sa Toy Section ng SM Department store...

LOL @ Geoffrey...I saw the DVD at a National Bookstore in EVER Ortigas Ave. Ext, Pasig. Hindi nga pinapansin ang mga DVDs dun e. Ang dami dun, halos cartoons halos.   And around 40 DVD titles, priced at P850.00-P999.00...sungit lang ng mga miss dun, heheheheh.

[lazy_maze]

I dunno if the salesladies at Astro-Megamall are reliable but last night, I asked them if they have new copies of Snow White, one of them said "Sir, darating na bukas." (Thursday).

So, if some of you are willing to check, please pass by and do so.

(I already have the R1 , la lang, nagtatanong lang... )

P.S. Also noticed that some of their 899 peso DVDs went down to 850.

[ann07]

8)this is definitely a " must have" classic...
i got mine at half.com affiliated with ebay for $14.50
sealed condition!!! and i've enjoyed every minute of
it- hi ho hi ho hi ho!!!  

[barfbag]

for those who are interested in getting this, i just came from M1 in glorietta and saw that they still have lots of copies of this dvd available. R3 siyempre at php850.00 pa rin.  yun lang, goodbye!

[Komikero]

I updated my Snow White R1 VS R3 site:
http://www.geocities.com/headlesschicken/snow.html

I redesigned and reorganized it so it's easier to read. I've also removed my comments leaving it fully objective.  Written descriptions of packaging has been replaced by hi res scans of covers, discs and booklets.

Hopefully, it will be a template for future comparisons.  

[no_angel]
