Sparklefan1234 170,997 Posted February 17, 2018 My favorite song from "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs" is The Silly Song. 1 Link to comment
Sunny Fox 5,950 Posted February 17, 2018 Yep, romanticizing the industry of mining... replete as it is with underground gas explosions, (naked) child labour, suffocation from gas leaks, and all manner of bountiful things... Link to comment
Dark Qiviut 22,425 Posted February 17, 2018 @Sunny Fox I think you're really overthinking the mining scene here. It basically introduces the dwarfs, their passion for mining, and their cartoony nature/behavior to the audience. Link to comment
Mesme Rize 15,683 Posted February 17, 2018 Oh god, you have no idea how much you make me happy with this post. Sure, the movie aged a bit. But i still consider it one of the most important movies of all time. I think even the existance of shows like My Little pony can be dated back to Snow White, since so many people working on MLP have watched the movies of Disney, including Snow White. This movie deserves all the praise in the world. 1 Link to comment

Even more importantly, without animated movies like Snow White, it's possible the medium of animation may not exist today, much less evolve. 2 Link to comment

Animation would still have existed, the problem is that before Snow White, no one took it seriously. Animated shorts were commonly made to play before actual feature films to keep the kids entertained, and nobody believed that it would be possible to hold their attention through a full feature-length film. Of course, Walt Disney proved them wrong by making Snow White the first feature-length animated film. Sure, it hasn't aged well and there are plenty of "not so progressive" tropes, but this was a huge milestone not just in the animation industry, but in the movie industry as a whole. It showed that not only can you make an entertaining animated feature-length film for children, but that you could make money while doing it. Link to comment
Woohoo 34,200 Posted February 17, 2018 It's been a while since I've seen Snow White... I really should watch it again. Link to comment

Before Snow White, no one took it seriously. Snow White was a monumental risk, not just for being a full-length film, but for animation altogether. If Snow White failed in reception and profit, who knows what would happen to the field. 1 Link to comment

Dark Qiviut 22,425 Posted February 18, 2018 @ShadOBabe LOL! That scene is slapstick gold. XD 1 Link to comment
