It’s hard to imagine today, but Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs wasn’t released on home video until October 28, 1994. For 57 years (1937-1994) the only way to experience Snow White was in a Movie Theater. Disney re-released Show White to theaters 8 times, every 7-10 years, creating the tradition of the Disney Vault that would continue into Home Video. The traditional also created the need to educate a new generation on the Disney Classic. This television program, “The Fairest of them All” was released just before the 1983 Snow White Theatrical Re-Release.
Hosted by Dick Van Patten the special includes many of the artists who worked on the film including some of Walt’s Nine Old Men (Ken Anderson, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnson, Ward Kimball) The feature also reunited the Voices of Snow White, Adriana Caselotti and The Prince, Harry Stockwell. Donald Duck, along with Clarance “Ducky Nash” make an appearance. Also appearing in the special, very young Drew Berrymore, and Ricky Schroeder would be experiencing Snow White for the first time.
