GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
leplatypus I saw it on screen long ago for Christmas 1983 and my actual watching is still enjoyable: unlike standardized, digitalized, stupid actual comedies about trash talking animals, this first animation has understood what audience wishes: a fairy tale, a story for all ages with an amazing artistic talent behind... Here there is no graphic violence, no bad character to attack, just the need for hard work, the comfort of a cozy home, the help from friends and love above anything! The art is simply stunning and today productions look paradoxically cheap! I wish I had kids to offer them this eternal craftwork of the best talent in humanity!
Matt Greene Snow White gets most of its renown simply for being so stunningly groundbreaking…and it totally deserves every accolade it gets for that, and so much more. Everything this company has done is because of this movie, and the timelessness of all these classics is shocking. The dwarfs are great, the detail is gorgeous, the old witch is super creepy, and I ADORE the surrealist nightmare-like visuals in the forest. Even if it isn't the best of Disney, it's certainly up there…and arguably their most important.
Hermione Granger I knew I liked the movie and disliked Snow White...or so I thought. Last night, I re-watched the movie for the first time in years and was blown away. Snow White was much more than I remembered her to be. She sang while she cleaned at the beginning, but she wasn't necessarily happy with it, and she didn't say things that made me laugh, but had a sense of humor herself! She is pretty naive to let in a stranger, but she has a personality and is a really kind person. Her singing seems poor, but that could be because of the recording back then. I love all the work Disney and the other producers put into this film. There are around thirty animals that help Snow White clean the house, and each of them move separately, meaning they had to do a similar, but not the same, drawing for each frame. Speaking of art, I noticed that not not all of the coloring was filled by computer! (People complain that the original movie was ruined because they no longer have the hand-colored drawings.) Some of this is the original work the artists did by hand. The edge of Snow White's hair is watercolor, as os the raven that watched the Evil Queen make potions.The Evil Queen is the first Disney full-length movie villain and one of the best. The songs aren't the best or that memorable--not that they're bad, I just wouldn't consider all of them beautiful classics--but the music is beautiful. With some parts of the movie, like when the dwarfs are thinking there's a monster in the house, I'm thinking, "Could we speed things up a little?" but most of it is engaging. It's an excellent classic with everything audiences need--music, humor, action, romance, drama, and family. It's an excellent movie for the whole family! I am glad I watched it and can't wait to again.
Filipe Neto Based on a Grimm Brother's tale, this film tells the story of Snow White, a princess forced to hide from the hatred of her stepmother. Directed by David Hand and produced by Walt Disney, it has the participation of great voice actors. The soundtrack is a responsibility of Paul J. Smith, Frank Churchill and Leigh Harline. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Soundtrack, this film earned to Disney the honorary statuette the following year.This film immediately won a place in history. Having been the first Walt Disney feature film, it was decisive for the evolution of what we know as animated film. Since the thirties, this movie has been in the lives of successive generations, despite having had few awards. In fact, its the definitive proof that awards don't immortalize a movie. Its ability to win public every year and persist in people's lives is, ultimately, the absolute consecration of a work of cinema.The script is simple but extraordinarily effective, adapting (almost rewriting and polishing) Grimm Brother's story. Snow White is a pre- teen girl, very naive and pure, as it was considered correct at the time (current audiences prefer a less candid approach). The Queen is the incarnation of evil and the perfect antagonist. The prince is the representation of the honest and faithful man, who saves the girl. And of course, we have the famous Seven Dwarfs, supporting characters who serve as comic element and come directly to the hearts of children, with their defects or characteristics, a rather clumsy way and a huge sense of generosity.The drawings are not as visually pleasing as will become in future films. Pencil lines are quite obvious and the colors are slightly alive. However, this technique was starting so that's something natural. The soundtrack is essential for any movie lover and contains one of the most famous songs from Disney films, "Heigh Ho", sung by the dwarfs when they return from their mine. The music perfectly accompanies the film and speak to the public with the same eloquence of the drawings.
