    This is the movie that helped make Disney the go-to studio for family entertainment.

    For it's time, this was a magnificent achievement. Watching it on Blu-Ray, there aren't many things of 72 years that look THIS good. The main focus here, was obviously what Disney COULD do. The story is simple and very weak. Skipping over any form of build up, which leaves the fi...( read more)lms middle act being 45 minutes of Snow White pottering about the house. Because of the time, the film is very sexist. Leaving the women as egotistical maniacs, wrapped up in their own vanity or as naive simpletons, dreaming of first love and only good for housework. It's far too harsh to criticise the films for these points, but it wouldn't be accepted today. The voice work is quite annoying and later efforts such as Bambi and Pinocchio would develop the artistry and the storytelling techniques.

    without question snow white deserves a ton of respect for being the first great animated film, and more than that, for being really good. having said that i think that its status is a bit over played as people seem to forget how shallow the film is. even disney's next couple of...( read more) films had deeply moving messages, while snow white was more of the classic fairytale in its most generic form. a monumental film that is larger than life, but should be seen as more of a stepping stone than one of the best animated films.

    The animation is so ethereal. One of the creepiest kids' movies ever made. I love it. You can tell they were still figuring out the whole animated feature thing as some of the scenes were drawn out but its still incredible. One of Disney's best.

    The first animated feature film ever is also one of the best animated experiences of all time. David Hand was named crazy, but his unique masterwork has trascended 70 years later and now is referenced as an inspirational source for creative and inventive storytelling. The Toy Sto...( read more)ry of the 30's (as for influece and landmark filmmaking goes).

    The first Disney classic, and after over 70 years its still one of the best.

To one degree or another, every animated feature made since owes it something. full review

    Disney's first and, in my opinion, best. Amazing what you can do with a few skilled artists and a little technicolour, huh?
