Snow White 80th Anniversary Window Displays - Saks Fifth Avenue

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Saks Fifth Avenue in New York dedicated their Christmas window displays to this special occasion. The animated scenes include a new 3D layering technology that uses original artwork from the film within each diorama. Fourteen windows in all.

Inside the Magic did a fantastic job of capturing the displays on video and in stills.

The window displays launched with a live-streamed event on November 20, 2017. It included a light show, costumed cast members, and a singing performance by Sofia Carson. The light show and window displays will be available for viewing until Jan. 2, 2018.

Breakfast at Saks is also available and includes a visit from Snow White, the Prince, and Dopey. $100/person.

McDonald's Snow White Happy Meal Figures & Displays

In 1993, Snow White returned to the big screen in the US. To capitalize on the event, McDonald's produced a series of eight Happy Meal toys (one per meal). Made of plastic. The Queen stands approximately 3.75" tall, the Prince 3.625", and Snow White 3".

  • Snow White (and the Wishing Well)
  • The Prince (and his Horse)
  • The Queen (changes into the Witch)
  • Sleepy (yawns and closes eyes)
  • Dopey and Sneezy (spin)
  • Doc (diamond spins)
  • Happy and Grumpy (rock as they roll)
  • Bashful (peeks in and out of his diamonds)

This translite (colored piece of plastic) was used to promote the figures. It would have been located up above and behind the counter next to the menu or outside on the drive-thru menu. The small print includes a 1993 copyright.
