Disney, ever the Blu-ray trend setter, has announced that they will be re-releasing the classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" on Blu-ray on October 6th, a full seven weeks before it returns to standard DVD on November 24th.
The only times a similar move was made was in the last month when Disney released "Bolt" and "Bedtime Stories" on Blu-ray two days before its standard DVD cousin.
However, it is important to note that the Snow White Blu-ray will include a standard DVD in the package, following the current trend.
“We are thrilled that the consumer has clearly recognized the value in our Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack releases and will have another opportunity to maximize their viewing options in October with Snow White,” Disney president Bob Chapek added. “With today’s technological breakthroughs found in Blu-ray, we are confident that this version of Snow White will easily become the reference point for high-definition home entertainment libraries and family collections all over the world.”
