Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937

At the beginning of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we slowly approach a huge castle and the evil Queen inside the castle asks her magic mirror with her immortal words: "Mirror, mirror, tell me who is the most beautiful in the world?" The mirror's answer, of course, is Snow White, her pristine rival, who will soon fall into the Queen's arrogance. Like the classic Grimm fairy tale the movie is based on, this magical and at times terrifying world pulls you in for a moment. In Hollywood, Walt Disney's first feature-length animated project was considered folly. Who would sit and watch a 30-minute cartoon? and making Disney the world's leading studio animated films. As a matter of fact, one of Walt Disney's main goals with this movie was to consolidate his position. Disney had already crossed the sound barrier in cartoons with Steamboat Willie, and color was added to the sound a few years later. .Snow White was their next step, both artistically and financially, the length of feature films meant more box office revenues. In fact, Disney gave the animation team a lot of freedom to develop this kind of creativity by allowing them to work freely on the material. While the film is full of humor, it is full of sentimentality, a fluid mix of beautiful imagery and powerful and enduring songs such as "Whistle While You Work" and the most popular song "Someday My Prince Will Come." By the way, Snow White is also the first movie to have a soundtrack released. Snow White's impact is not exaggerated. This has made Disney one of the world's leading studios and has taken animation cinema to such a high level that this level has (arguably) been surpassed only by the involvement of computers. Hundreds of imitations have been made of Snow White, the pinnacle of creativity; The cartoon empire was born from the movie, and it remains the basic template for almost all animated films to this day.
