Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

There are many factors to consider when judging a film’s merit. An important but often overlooked factor is the film’s ambition. How many chances does it take and how far does it push the envelope? Under that criteria, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs couldn’t possibly score higher. If there was a full-length animated film released in American cinemas before this one, it's been forgotten to time and it certainly didn't leave the same mark as this one. Now approaching 100 years old, there's no other movie quite like Snow White. You watch it as a child and enjoy the familiar story. You appreciate it for wholly different reasons as an adult.

In a faraway land lives the beautiful and kind Princess Snow White (voiced by Adriana Caselotti), the envy of her wicked and vain stepmother (Lucille La Verne). When the Queen’s magic mirror reveals that Snow White has become more beautiful than she, the Queen sends the young princess to the woods to be murdered. Following her escape, Snow White stumbles upon a small cottage and is taken in by the seven little men who live there.

Traditionally animated films age incredibly gracefully. Whereas you can see the limitations Toy Story and its early descendants had to struggle with, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs looks as sharp as the day it was released. Snow White is not like the rubber-limbed Olive Oil from Popeye’s cartoons or any character from the many Disney animated shorts that preceded her. The fact that she can move alongside the decidedly anthropomorphized woodland creatures she befriends and the seven dwarves - all of which have cartoonish faces to match their outlandish personalities - is impressive.

Also helping the film remain timeless are the story and writing. There are no pop culture references, no fourth wall breaks, no ironic twists or subversions of the source material. There doesn’t need to be. Snow White simply is. Similarly, the songs are not the kind you’d hear playing on the top charts. They weren't made to sell records. They were made for the story. They’re used to develop the characters and move the plot forward. That doesn't mean they're not catchy. I think anyone who’s seen the film will be tempted to play Whistle While You Work whenever they begin cleaning and once you hear the dwarves’ Heigh Ho!, it becomes a part of your vocabulary. Nothing in Snow White feels like it was made to be more than part of the movie. There are no characters made to be turned into toys, for example. In that way, it feels more earnest than any other Disney film.

That's nice, but what really matters is how entertaining the film is. While this is a straightforward telling of a well-known, story (assuming you don't call the musical numbers "twists"), “Snow White” finds plenty of ways to make you care about its animated characters. There are many laughs throughout, courtesy of the seven dwarves. Her animal friends also provide memorable chuckles as they figure out inventive ways to help despite their limited sizes or limbs. My favorite has to be the deer who uses his antlers as a way to transport dirty laundry.

There's also drama and romance, courtesy of Snow White herself. Our heroine is so sweet and innocent your heart just can’t resist. When she talks about the handsome prince she dreams of meeting once again, it’s hard not to get as swept up in the emotions of the scene. There’s also a little bit of horror thrown in too - though only small children would be actually frightened. It makes the scenes when Snow White makes her escape in the dark woods and later, when the wicked Queen comes looking for her particularly memorable. On top of the emotions are the outstanding visuals. Even if you don't "know", I think a part of you knows or can tell everything you see was hand-painted and painstakingly put together. If there’s one criticism I can throw towards the movie, it’s that the ending feels abrupt. It still fits within the fairytale motif, but I wouldn’t mind if it was even 30 seconds longer.

There is so much to say about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The visuals, the characters, the direction, the story, the songs… every aspect of the filmmaking could be the subject of a thesis. It's a film that was destined for immortality and I think people knew it as soon as it was released. Even today, it still stands triumphant as one of the greatest films - animated or otherwise- ever made for its place in history, but also for the way it brings a particular kind of story to life.

What’s the matter with them? Why are they acting that way? Why, don’t you know? They’re “twitterpated.” Twitterpated? Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example—

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the 1812 German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first full-length traditionally animated feature film and the first Disney animated feature film. The story was adapted by storyboard artists Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith. David Hand was the supervising director, while William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, and Ben Sharpsteen directed the film's individual sequences. Snow White premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, California on December 21, 1937. Despite initial doubts from the film industry, it was a critical and commercial success and, with international earnings of more than $8 million during its initial release (compared to its $1.5 million budget), it briefly held the record of highest-grossing sound film at the time. The popularity of the film has led to its being re-released theatrically many times, until its home video release in the 1990s. Adjusted for inflation, it is one of the top-ten performers at the North American box office and the highest-grossing animated film. Worldwide, its inflation-adjusted earnings top the animation list.[3] Snow White was nominated for Best Musical Score at the Academy Awards in 1938, and the next year, producer Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar for the film. This award was unique, consisting of one normal-sized, plus seven miniature Oscar statuettes. They were presented to Disney by Shirley Temple.[4]

Round 1, Match 19

Amadeus (dir. Miloš Forman, 1984) VS Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (dir. David Hand, Perce Pearce, William Cottrell, Larry Morey, Wilfred Jackson, Ben Sharpsteen, 1937)

Amadeus is one of the best movies ever made, full stop. Tom Hulce? Great. F. Murray Abraham? A revelation. This movie just fucking rocks.

Snow White is one of the most important movies ever made, but it clearly shows that Disney had no idea how to make a feature. The film just comes across as a series of shorts stitched together into one longer piece.

WINNER: Amadeus (and I say this a Disney adult)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) -(David Hand, Wilfred Jackson, William Cottrell, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, Ben Sharpsteen)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is an American animated movie, produced by Walt Disney Productions and was realsead by RKO Radio Pictures. It was first full length traditionally animated feature film.

Technique Section:-

In 1930’s early color processes came into use and also multiplane camera were used for better animation. Disney sent his animators to Chouinard Art Institution, to ensure that the animators get the right skill about cameras and realistic movements which in return will make the animations more realistic to audience. For giving his animators more understanding of the concept, Disney also brought animals into studio and hired actors for better griping the main idea. Snow White had been largely finised by the time the multiplane camera had been completed, Disney ordered some scenes to be re-drawn to use new effects in the film. Mostly techniques like Cutout, silhouette and stop motion was used while filming of this animation.

Representation Section:-

The grimm fairy tale gets color to its film for the first time for Disney’s animated cartoon film. It is story of a beautiful lady Snow white, who gets tortured by her setpmother, who also gave orders to murder her. later on she discovers that she is still alive and is hiding in a cottage with seven drawfs. Knowing this makes the setpmother angry and leds her to poison  Snow White with poisonous apple, which makes her to fall into a death-like sleep that can be broken only by a kiss from the prince. This film show the affection of the drawfs towards Snow White. The voice over of Snow White was done by Adriana Caselotti. Walt Disney was looking. for a voice that sounds “away from everyday, as if from another world”.

Reception Section:-

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered at the Carthy Circle Theatre on December 21, 1937. The film was hugely appreciated and recieved standing ovation from audience. Six days later after its release, Walt Disney and the seven drwafs appeared on the cover of Time magzine. It became a major box-office success and most successful sound film of all time. It was re-released to theaters in 1952, 1958, 1967, 1975,1983 and 1993. in 1983, on its 50th anniversary release, Disney released one of many authorized novelizations of the story. It had a lifetime gross of 418 million dollar across its original release and several reissues.It is the highest-grossing animated film. 

Personally watching this animated movie of 1937 in todays era is as enjoyable as it was in 1930’s. Knowing that in 1930’s producers and directors didn't have all the technology we have today for animation makes this film more appreciable. 

[ask-idv-shepherd]

'Leave, leave before he gets angry, before he turns into a monster.'

'After all, he's the one who will swallow you up in the end, like this or his true form.'

Pearce was going to just that, back turned he was going to hightail it out of there. But his ears caught wind of the Archer's words. Was it ok...? How could it be ok!? Yet, such a soothing voice was welcomed.

'Whittaker, I'm warning you, do NOT dwell with your cannibalistic killer!"

'B-But... I...'

Reflecting back to reality, The Shepherd seemed to gasp and crouch down. Taking hold of his coat, Pearce wrung it out the best he could damp, but better than sopping wet. Forcing himself up, the fox was quick to cover the shorter man with his coat.

"H-How sh-shameless... You r-r-r-really don't have t-t-to do th-that!"

He hated seeing scars, some resembling his own, others not so much. Uncomfortable as he was, he couldn't help but make sure the other was properly clothed first. Still shivering, Perce turned away, hesitantly removing his wet shirts an changing into the Archer's All of his own scars, an the mesh of fur running don his back exposed for the other to see.

Yet one thing bothered him, and that for once was his gloves. Hesitantly, Pearce shook off his gloves, revealing much... much more hairier hands, almost shaped like a fox's. They were wet too, but he ended up drying them on his own pants.

While he was a bit more comfortable, warm at best, Pearce still couldn't help the situation at hand. Why did he come back...? How did he know of the 'voice' in his head? Fidgeting with his hands, Pearce seemed to avert his gaze to the floor.

"Y-You didn't have to... c-come find me...d-did I d-do something to w-warrant th-this...? I-If so... I-I'm sorry... I-I'm sorry pl-please d-don't get mad..."

It took some walking around but eventually Archer caught wind of Pearce. They lifted their hand to call out to the man as they closed the distance before realizing he was soaked and shivering. Well shit. "Hey......" Archer announced their presence. "What happened? Why are you soaking?" Archer quietly worried.

Letting out a shaken gasp, Pearce couldn't help but step away. Why did he come and find him? He told him to go, so he left. Yet here the other was, trying to approach them. Despite the cold, the only part that wasn't numb to the Shepherd was his hot tears.

"I-I'm sorry... I-I'm so so s-s-sorry..."

Clutching as his soaked clothes, Pearce could be seen violently shaking, a broken man ensuing on a mental breakdown. He was doing what he thought Archer wanted, he didn't want to see him like this. Turning his body away, Pearce hid his face behind his soaked hair, the tingle in his ears visible.

"I-i-in the w-way... i-in y-your way... I-I'll leave q-quickly...! Sh-Shouldn't...h-h-have to s-see a m-m-monster...l-like m-m-me..."

Sobbing quietly to himself, Pearce couldn't contain such emotions anymore. Moving a hand to cover his face, the Shepherd felt... guilty. Only seeing people that he hurt made the other realize he was no better than those who did such a tasteless action against him.

Muttering to himself, He couldn't help but seem... mentally unhinged. Perhaps he was fighting with Alu quietly again. The Shepherd did enough damage than he intended, so why?

Why did he come back to him? It was too hard to understand...
