“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”
was the first full-length cel animated feature film and won the hearts of
everyone the moment it hit the big screen. It’s very strange to think that the
people closest to Walt Disney tried to convince him not to make this film.
Lucky for everyone that Disney had his heart set on this movie and went to
extreme ends to ensure it was made, going so far as to mortgage his own home
just so that the movie could be financed.
The movie was of course, as almost
all Disney movies are, created for children and their families to enjoy
together. The movie’s main appeal was always planned to be the dwarfs and their
strange, but funny adventures that only they would be able to find themselves
in. This holds true in the final
product, although the comedic aspect was reduced in the end to make the
characters and the movie as a whole seem more plausible.
Many movie-goers found themselves
completely enthralled with the animation, almost forgetting that they weren’t
watching real people acting. It was clear to many from the start that this
movie would have a place in cinema history, although no one could have guessed
just how big Disney as a company would eventually get.
“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”
was appealing to everyone for its expertly done animation, and its cute and
clever storytelling methods. Everyone could enjoy the dwarfs and their antics,
and little girls everywhere could aspire to one day become Disney princesses.
Keeping in line with other movies from this time I’ve been reviewing, there is
still of course a happy ending to give people hope in a truly desperate time.
