Disney Catalog - Snow White Cover Art

Most of these images come from Dan-the-man-Alexander of Dizmentia. Back in May of last year, I asked Dan if he happened to have any old Disney Catalogs in his collection, particularly those that featured Snow White characters on the cover. When the online world started to come into focus for the Disney Store, the paper catalog with its whimsical artwork was discontinued. I was expecting to see maybe four or five from Dan. He found 16! I added a few more myself, and so here they all are--the Snow White covers.

Summer 1992. Princesses framed...



Fall 1993. An all Snow White cover in celebration of the theatrical re-release of the film that year...



Holiday 1993. Dopey does his best not to drop the ornaments...



Holiday 1994. Dopey's back along with a few Snow White gifts...



Early 1997. Snow White's 60th Anniversary...



Halloween 1999. The Queen in all her evilness...



Holiday 2000. Grumpy, Dopey and a train full of fun...



Fall 2001. Snow and the boys made the cover to commemorate the film's release on DVD...



Christmas 2001. Aurora and Cinderella help Snow White decorate a pink tree...



Holiday 2001. The Disney characters came out in force for this cover, but at first glance, it appeared that Snow White didn't make the cut. This was a special fold-out edition. When opened, she and the dwarfs are revealed.



In 2002, the Disney Catalog released lithograph prints from the artwork seen on the two Christmas covers above, "Magical Night" and "Royal Holiday"...



Fall Preview 2002. Snow with Aurora and Belle under a weeping willow...



Fall 2002. Belle, Cinderella and Snow White with their masquerade masks...



Halloween 2002. The Disney characters dress up for a night of treat-or-treating. Tinkerbell wears a Snow White mask; Snow White dons one of Maleficent. The others include Mickey as the Beast, Tigger as Pooh, Minnie as Marie, Donald as Jiminy, and one of the Dalmatian Puppies as Cruella...



Last-Minute Gift Guide, Holiday 2002. Snow White, the Prince and Dwarfs celebrate with the other Disney princesses around another pink tree...



Halloween 2003. Minnie Mouse as Snow White along with Lilo as Ariel, Tinkerbell as Cinderella and Marie as Aurora...



Christmas 2003. Wreath hanging with Snow, Aurora and Cinderella...



Winter 2003. More wreath hanging...



Spring Preview 2004. This is one of my favorites. Tea time in front of the castle with Snow White, Aurora and Cinderella...



Halloween 2004. The Old Witch and her Raven look on as the evil brew brings forth the villains Chernabog, Maleficent, Ursula, Jafar, Captain Hook, Scar, Cruella and Hades...



The hard copy catalog ceased operations in 2006. I'm glad to see the Disney Company saving trees by going paperless. But I do miss the cover artwork that used to arrive in the mail all those years. Unfortunately, most of my copies somehow ended up in the recycle bin. So it's thanks to those like Dan Alexander Dizmentia that we still have a glimpse of what they once looked like.
