Product Description
This edition of THE SNOW QUEEN will be enjoyed by movie collectors who wish to see not only this classic feature, but the smarmishly delightful Christmas sequence at the very beginning with Art Linkletter. This introduction is an innocent little skit filmed in the early sixties. While the snowflakes are falling, Art Linkltter and a group of small tykes are opening Christmas presents around the Christmas tree. Regardless of the critics say, this little sequence is now so camp & retro that you'll want to play at least just this part for all your Christmas guests! Why, it's like re-discovering the charm of an aluminum Christmas tree 45 years later! THE SNOW QUEEN is one of the best-loved animated features originally from Russia, richly animated by the renowned Soyuzmultfilm studio. The English-dubbed U.S. version was released by Universal in 1959 and was widely shown on local TV stations, especially at Christmas time. This version features the voices of Sandra Dee, Tommy Kirk and Paul Frees. It has very reliable sound quality and the video reproduction, although in EP mode, is better than many and will track to near perfection during the feature. This holiday season, heat up the hot chocolate and make a rediscovery of the magic of THE SNOW QUEEN as you enjoy that Christmas matinee feeling of snuggling into a warm old-style animated holiday feature.
