Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 4K Disney+ Release Date Set

The original 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is getting a new 4K restoration, and will release on Disney+ in the new format later this month.

When does Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 4K? come out on Disney+?

In a recent announcement from Disney, the company confirmed that the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 4K release date is set for October 16, 2023. The new restoration comes from collaborations between the Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation team and key artists from Walt Disney Animation Studios.

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 and director of Pocahontas) worked with Walt Disney Studios on the restoration.

“The opportunity to help restore Snow White was both an honor and a challenge,” said Goldberg. “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. I hope our work inspires future generations of animation artists to fully appreciate the masterful talent and care that has gone into this landmark film.”

Originally released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length traditionally animated film and first ever Disney animated feature film. The film was a massive success upon its release, and when adjusted for inflation, is one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time.

The film was selected as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1989, and is currently getting a live-action adaptation, which is set to release in 2024.
