Review of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938) by William Thomas for Empire — 23 May 1998

This animated treatment does it absolute justice too. The spooky bits are suitably scarey - the production dates back to a time before anybody worried about mentally scarring the little mites, thus the "Have a bite, dearie" scene means a lot of excited peeping through fingers - the slapstick humour content is high and it contains none of the period references that crept into later Disney cartoons, thus doesn't appear to have dated.

But largely it succeeds because it really is a great deal of fun.
