Review of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938) by Liim G — 17 Dec 2010

Overrated. suffers from both Tron Syndrome (It's the first of the category and focuses too much on the visuals), Yardbirds Syndrome (it fades out of a scene or song just when its starting to get good) and its namesaked snow white syndrome (It's the first of a whole genre or category and therefire is awarded undue and vociferous praise when it's really just semi good).

I am debating over whether that last one should be referred to him as Snow White syndrome or Lord of the Rings syndrome.

The dwarves are obvs their for comic relief.

The animals when not in mourning have a sickly alfred e neuman/atari e.t. shit eating grin.

The humans are stiffly rotoscoped.

The camera is choppy on the slow pans.

Snow white is pedophile bait in that dress and sounds like lina lamont meets betty boop.

Look for the freudian in whistle whild you work where the deer tries to get the glove off o fits tail or with the squirrel pilling long underwear over the turtles thick abs.

Dopey had downs syndrome and iodine deficiency. they should name a level of mental retardedness after him. Actually I think he has Harop Marx syndrome (doesn't talk and acts like a total retard 4 the lulz).

Quite a bit of tis animation has no weight at all.

So many of these shots are breathtaking. if I was an animator I would have shit my pants five times over.

Ok the dwarves are gay. they live in the same house call each other newlywed pet names mine for faggy gems, and when snow white sleeps across three of their beds and make seven squeeze into four beds (dopey probs got passed up tonight) NOBODY COMPLAINS. and the beds are named and everything. just like little kids.

You do the math.

The queen looks like jean harlow.

The tf scene is awsumly scary. the more hells than swedenborg quote was right.

The silly song is a horrible piece of shit. I do like dopey's drum solo though.

They painted over the dancing scenes for other shit like robin hood.

Freud scene alert - and now turn red ... to tempt snow white ... and make her hunger for a bite.

God, this is more freud than pat the bunny.

If this is what came before pinocchio imagine how mich walt thought he had tp spike up production values.

And the queens death - the camera desn't even move.

And the funeral set. those tears are so fake. but seriously, kinda moving. it gets better later when they're laying the flowers and playing one song.

MORE SUPERIMPOSED TEXT!! GODDAMMIT!

The prince is a living cutout.

He kisses.

So emotional.

Then they ruin it with a tempo change. like the out of tune mellotron killed the ending of all dogs go to heaven.

And after a highly emotional someday my prince will come reprise, its over.

The aftershock is immense. you wonder what you just saw.

GREAT FLICK doesnt live up to hype.
