It's a delighful family fantasy film that is timeless, one that both children and adults can enjoy.

In addition to its historical value as the first animated feature, it is still a delight, with memorable songs and characters.

So perfect is the illusion, so tender the romance and fantasy, so emotional are certain portions when the acting of the characters strikes a depth comparable to the sincerity of human players, that the film approaches real greatness.

...the animation itself is top-notch, and in a number of darker sequences (Snow White's terrified entry into the forest, for example), Disney's adoption of Expressionist visual devices makes for genuinely powerful drama.

Most remarkable in Snow White's romps through the forest with her pack of animal pals, Disney's brilliant cell animation has rarely been equaled.
09/09/05
Songs like 'Heigh-Ho'and 'Some Day My Prince Will Come' are timeless; people who haven't seen this in years still recall every word.
09/16/03
It is a classic, as important cinematically as The Birth of a Nation or the birth of Mickey Mouse.
