Seventy-two years after releasing their original Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Disney is busting into the vault for the three-disc version, sporting the standard, digitial, and Blu-ray versions of this well-known classic. Whether you've been kissed by Snow White at Disney World like I was, or you're just into fairy tales that do come true, this one is a must-have in one form or another.

Packed with sing-alongs, games, super-clear animation, and much more, the three-disc version allows for newer audiences to experience the timeless classic with additional doodads and whatzits. But the truth is that the story remains the sticking point that will have you watching it again and again.

Snow White is still the fairest of them all, and she's also the kindest, gentlest, most servant leader-ish of the bunch, too. Whether it's when we first see her scrubbing the steps of the castle, or cleaning the home of the dwarves because a) it needs done, b) she's there, and c) she's good at cleaning, it's pretty clear that "virginity" and "purity" lie hand-in-hand. To say that she is a Christ-figure who drastically changes the lives of seven rather apathetic dwarves and makes them care about living would be an understatement.

Of course, what would absolute goodness be without absolute evil? When you recognize that the Brothers Grimm have their hands at the root of the story, it's pretty obvious that we need a dichotomy to inspect. And that's what takes place throughout the movie.

• The goodness of Snow White versus the evil of the Queen. Snow White believes everyone, loves everyone, and treats them kindly; the Queen is so hateful toward Snow White that not only does she order the Woodsman to kill Snow White, she wants him to bring back her heart as a trophy.
• Snow White doesn't care about looks (as she accepts the dwarves) but the Queen is consumed by appearances, to the point where she uses her magic mirror (which I can come up with a hundred uses for!) to determine if she's the hottest in the kingdom.
• Snow White is loved; the Queen is feared. (Enough said.)
• Snow White wants true love but is afraid of it, as you consider her first encounter with the Prince. But the thrust of the "love" issue is that true love conquers even death.

Speaking of that, where have I heard that before? It seems that the "gospel according to Disney" in the 1930s had a lot to say in comparison with the truth of Christ. Jesus came into a world as the embodiment of purity, and the world (especially the religious leaders) saw himas a threat. Jesus treated everyone as he wanted to be treated and provided sacrificial leadership and servanthood, regardless of the class, appearance, or treatment he received by others. And, Jesus proved that true love does conquer death by his death on the cross, resurrection, and forgiveness of sins.

You can easily find practical advice in Snow White: be careful who your friends are, watch out for strangers, don't judge books by their covers. But the truth is, there is integrity here and a lesson to all of us that pure love and joy can in fact counter the sins of the world.
