The Grimm fairy tale gets a Technicolor treatment in Disney's first animated feature. Jealous of Snow White's beauty, the wicked queen orders the murder of her innocent stepdaughter, but later discovers that Snow White is still alive and hiding in a cottage with seven friendly little miners. Disguising herself as a hag, the queen brings a poisoned apple to Snow White, who falls into a death-like sleep that can be broken only by a kiss from the prince.

Narratively and thematically, Disney princess films would evolve quite a bit over the next 88 years. But tonally and visually, Snow White set a template Disney has never entirely moved away from.

To say of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that it is among the genuine artistic achievements of this country takes no great daring.

"Masterpiece" and all the other enthusiastic words that are to be lavished upon [Snow White] seem too heavy a burden to bear for anything spun with such gracious, heart-warming charm, woven from the stuff of dreams.

9/10

There are several movies that can be considered The Greatest Animated Film of All Time, but there’s a reason why Snow White is the only feature that is also known as The One That Started it All.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' live-action remake might be getting eviscerated by critics, but the O.G. Disney Princess movie is a timeless gem.

3.5/5

Even if its revolutionary elements may have diminished in today’s context, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) still manages to be engaging through its masterful visuals.

A classic! And with it being that there's only so much you can say. You have to judge it based on it being released almost 90 years ago. And from the pacing and story alone, you can tell it's old. However, it's a solid foundation that has been built on top of over and over again leading to fond memories for generations of kids and adults.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was fun trip down memory lane for me. The quality and fluidity of the characters is beautiful ESPECIALLY considering it's hand dawn. The painted backgrounds are beautiful and have amazing detail in them. Snow White is very kind, loving, gentle, and motherly. And the animals helping her in everything she does in the film is so adorable! Especially the turtle, he's hilarious. The Evil Queen is such a menacing villain throughout the whole movie, from her design to her constant scowl to her voice, but I wish she used her magic a bit more in the movie. Each of the dwarfs are hilarious, especially Dopey. All their songs are catchy and funny. The Prince is by far the worst thing in this movie. He shows up twice and all he does is sing and kiss her, which while iconic feels kinda sloppy. All the songs are memorable. I'm Wishing, Whistle While You Work, Heigh-Ho, the tub song, the Dwarfs' Model song, and Someday My Prince Will Come are all classics. Overall 7/10!

Veramente bello ma non sono d'accordo con chi dice che sia il miglior film della Disney o in generale, d'animazione.

While the movie may not be the most cohesive thing I've ever seen, its culturally significant and is very cool to watch.
