Why watch this? This
Disney classic was the first cartoon feature film. Yes, it
started it all.
Plot Summary:
It follows the orphaned princess Snow White whose wicked
stepmother, the Queen, cannot contain her jealousy for the young
girl's beauty. The queen orders her Huntsman to take Snow White
into the forest and kill her. He cannot do the deed and tells
the princess to flee and never return. Along her way, Snow White
is befriended by the forest's animals, and seven pint-sized
miners.
Dad's Preview:
Walt Disney's stellar career began with this cinematic
re-telling of an 1812 German fairy tale. This treasure many
themes that Disney will continue to explore: evil stepmothers,
true love's kiss, and catchy musical numbers. For 1937, film was
unequaled and extremely popular throughout the world. It ushered
in the golden age of animation, and remained the
highest-grossing animated film for 55 years. It has some fairly
scary moments, but it is adorably cute and a classic
masterpiece.
