On December 21, 1937 Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released and became and international success over night. But considering it was a success back in the 1930's, it brings up the question, does it still hold up today? Having re-watched the film, I can say that the film more than holds up after nearly eight decades.
While not my favorite Disney film, I still found Snow White to be an excellent film in a number of critical ways. The story is easy to follow since it's a classic fairy tale and didn't have any secondary plot elements. The characters are all very memorable, the queen and the dwarfs themselves I felt stood out the most. The animation is absolutely beautiful, having been done using water colors and being given depth with the then new multi-plane camera. I felt the Queen's transformation scene had the greatest detail animation due to how gruesome it was.
To this day, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs remains one of the animated Disney greats and has consecutively been released every ten years since it was released in theaters, on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. Snow White was also the first of the popular Disney Princess line which would include many more characters in years to come. The film is still so popular that the Walt Disney World resort opened a Dwarf Diamond Mine themed roller coaster at the Magic Kingdom in early 2014, and has becoming one of the park's most popular attractions.
With that said, what do you think of Snow White? Is it your favorite Disney film or your least favorite Disney film? Feel free to leave your opinion and I'll discuss the more of the film. Next time, we'll be taking a look at Disney second animated film Pinocchio, so until then have a good day.
