Review of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938) by Alexander D — 16 Sep 2011
Ahh, those wholesome, G-rated days of my early childhood when SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARVES was "the best movie ever". I just recently discovered for myself that the original "Snow White" fairy tale didn't even have dwarves ("oh, so THAT'S why the titles are different!"), and if anything, that little factoid just makes this film five times more creative.
We look down at a lot of the more modern Disney movies that aren't really as good (take G-FORCE or THE PRINCESS DIARIES, for instance), and we also have moved movies like this one, CINDERELLA, and SLEEPING BEAUTY into a category of "Disney princess movies" (which can be decoded as "Disney movies we never want to see again"), but if you look at how successful this film was back when it first was released in 1937 and how popular it is still today, you'd be surprised.
That said, SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARVES is a definite children's classic, but even though I've seen it ten times, I could care less. For ANY classic, ten times is enough.
