From Wikipedia: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs(1937). An animated film based on Snow White, a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. It was the first full-length cel-animated feature in motion picture history, as well as the first animated feature film produced in America, the first produced in full color, the first to be produced by Walt Disney.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre on December 21, 1937, and the film was released to theaters by RKO Radio Pictures on February 4, 1938. The story was adapted by storyboard artists Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith from the German fairy tale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm. David Hand was the supervising director, while William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, and Ben Sharpsteen directed the film.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was one of only two animated films to rank in the American Film Institutes list of the 100 greatest American films of all time in 1997 (the other being Disney's Fantasia), ranking number 49. It achieved a higher ranking (#34) in the list's 2007 update, this time being the only traditionally animated film on the list. The following year AFI would name the film as the greatest American animated film of all time and the best ever Walt Disney Animated Classics movie.

One of Disney's most charming family movies that is still talked about over 60 years later. I still enjoy watching this film to this day. Snow White, a beautiful princess who is traveling through the forest. She comes to a messy house and decides to clean it as a favor to those who are living there. Who turns out to be the seven dwarfs. The evil queen wants to be the fairest in the land. So she disguises herself as a witch and offers Snow White an apple, she eats it, and dies. The dwarfs come up with a plan to get the prince to kill the queen and save Snow White and live happily ever after.:)
Well-known songs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs include "Heigh-Ho", "Some Day My Prince Will Come", and "Whistle While You Work".
Excellent post Dawn. A true classic.

ReplyDeleteOne day Snow White will come back to the forest and stay with the seven dwarfs Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey in their cottage and the forest animals (the deer, the birds, the rabbits, the raccoons, the chipmunks, the squirrels, the quails and the turtle) again when she returns from the Prince's castle in the clouds above on the white horse now the Evil Queen is gone and so are the vultures.
ReplyDeleteI remember that I once had Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on VHS video cassette as a 90's kid and it had trailers with Video Piracy warning, the trailer for The Lion King, the trailer for The Aristocats, the trailer for Walt Disney Classics with Mary Poppins, Dumbo, Robin Hood and Alice in Wonderland and the trailer for Disneyland Paris Late 1994 at the beginning and the Making of Snow White featurette, the trailer for Disney Christmas videos, the trailer for Bambi, the trailer for Homeward Bound The Incredible Journey and the Jim Henson Video trailer for Muppets videos at the end and that was all on the video.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the revived Snow White will come back to the forest one day and visit the seven dwarfs Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy and Dopey and the forest animals (the deer, the birds, the rabbits, the raccoons, the chipmunks, the squirrels, the quails and the turtle) again when she returns from the Prince's castle in the clouds above on the white horse now her stepmother the Evil Queen in her old hag disguise has fallen to her death off a cliff and been crushed by a boulder and so are the two vultures who devoured her dead remains.
ReplyDeleteWhen Snow White returns from the Prince's castle she'll come back and stay with the seven dwarfs Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey and the forest animals (the deer, the birds, the rabbits, the raccoons, the chipmunks, the squirrels, the quails and the turtle) again and continue making soup, apple dumplings, plum pudding and gooseberry pies for Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey again now her stepmother the Evil Queen in her old hag disguise is dead and gone falling off a cliff to her death below ending her cackling laughter for good which serves her right for having poisoned Snow White with that red poisoned apple and so are the two sinister vultures who devoured the Evil Queen's dead crushed body off screen meaning that her body wasn't shown on the television screen.
