Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs- 1937
Rating: 🔥 that’s hot
Welcome to Day 1 of the #disneyinorder challenge! Today I watched Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the original Disney animated feature film which was released in 1937. Snow White immediately established Disney as a force to be reckoned with as a filmmaker. They went the extra mile in every possible way. The animation is incredibly detailed for the times. One scene that really surprised me was when Snow White is singing into the wishing well. It’s shot from the perspective of the well, looking up through the water at the OG Disney Princess. The animators captured the movement of the water as it was hit by the sound of her singing and the scene is really beautiful. Not only is the animation stunning and storybook-like, but the sound is what truly captured my attention.
Disney is synonymous with music for a reason and Snow White is filled with catchy original songs and a melodic score. The sound is used to emphasize the physical comedy that is an integral part of the movie, and it gives the film a very unique style. This definitely isn’t my favorite Disney movie, but it was fun to watch and see how far the studio has come! What do you think of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Follow along with the #disneyinorder challenge! Tomorrow we’ll be watching 1940’s Pinocchio.
