1994 Snow White Home Video - The Masterpiece Collection

All three North American 'home video' releases of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs have occurred in the month of October--in 1994, 2001 and 2009. So we'll spend this October looking at each of these in detail.

After 57 years and 9 theatrical releases, Snow White made it's way into people's living rooms on October 28, 1994. This VHS and LaserDisc release was the last of the "Golden Age" Disney films to do so, and it marked the start of a new line of videos entitled the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection.
