Description of this Snow White 1937 Poster
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 musical animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the 1812 German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first traditionally animated feature film and Disney's first animated feature film. The story was adapted by storyboard artists Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith. David Hand was the supervising director, while William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce and Ben Sharpsteen directed the film's various sequences.
Snow White premiered at the Carthay Circle Theater in Los Angeles, California on December 21, 1937. It was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $8 million internationally upon its initial release. (against its $1.5 million budget), it briefly held the record for the highest-grossing sound film of the era. The film's popularity led it to be re-released in theaters numerous times, until its release on home video in the 1990s. Adjusted for inflation, it is among the top ten films at the North American box office. and is the highest-grossing animated film. Worldwide, its inflation-adjusted earnings top the list of animated films.
Snow White was nominated for Best Musical at the Academy Awards in 1938, and the following year, producer Walt Disney received an honorary Academy Award for the film. This reward was unique, as it consisted of one full-sized statuette and seven miniature statuettes. They were introduced to Disney by Shirley Temple.
In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the National Film Registry. The American Film Institute ranked it among the 100 greatest American films and also named it the greatest American animated film of all time in 2008. Disney's adaptation of the fairy tale had a considerable cultural impact, leading to popular theme park attractions, a video game and a Broadway musical.
Snow White is a princess who lives with her stepmother, a vain queen. Fearing that the young girl is more beautiful than her, the Queen forces Snow White to work as a maid and asks her Magic Mirror daily "who is the most beautiful of all". For years, the mirror always answers that it is the Queen, which pleases it.
One day, the magic mirror informs the queen that Snow White is now "the most beautiful." That same day, Snow White meets and falls in love with a prince who heard her sing. The jealous queen orders her huntsman to take Snow White into the forest, kill her and bring back her heart in a jewelry box. However, the huntsman cannot bring himself to kill Snow White. He begs her to forgive him and reveals that the Queen wants him dead. He then encourages her to flee into the woods and never return.
Lost and frightened, the princess befriends woodland creatures who lead her to a cabin deep in the woods. Finding seven small chairs in the cottage's dining room, Snow White assumes that the cottage is the messy home of seven orphaned children. With the help of the animals, she sets out to clean the house and prepare a meal.
The cabin is owned by seven adult dwarves named Doc, Grumpy, Merry, Sleepy, Shy, Sneezy and Dopey, who work in a nearby mine. Upon returning home, they are alarmed to find their cottage clean and suspect that an intruder has invaded their home. The dwarves find Snow White upstairs, asleep on three of their beds. Snow White wakes up to find the dwarves at her bedside. She introduces herself, and all the dwarves end up welcoming her into their home after she offers to clean and cook for them. Snow White keeps house for the dwarves while they search for jewels during the day, and at night they all sing, play music and dance.
Meanwhile, the mirror reveals that Snow White is still alive, and with the dwarves. The Queen creates a poisoned apple that will plunge anyone who eats it into “sleeping death.” She learns that the curse can be broken by "love's first kiss", but she is certain that Snow White will be buried alive before that happens. Using a potion to disguise herself as an old witch, the queen goes to the cottage in the absence of the dwarves. The animals attack her, but Snow White defends her. Unable to warn Snow White, the animals rush to look for the dwarves. Pretending that the apple is magical and that it makes wishes come true, the Queen tricks Snow White into biting the apple. As Snow White falls asleep, the Queen proclaims that she is now the fairest in the land.
The dwarves return with the animals just as the queen leaves the cottage. They chase her and trap her on a cliff. She attempts to roll a rock over them, but lightning strikes the cliff before she can, and she falls to her death.
In their cottage, the dwarves discover that Snow White is being kept in a deathly sleep by the poison. Not wanting to bury her out of sight, they place her in a glass coffin trimmed with gold in a clearing in the forest. Along with the woodland creatures, they watch over her.
A year later, the prince learns that she sleeps forever and visits her coffin. Saddened by her apparent death, he kisses her, which breaks the spell and wakes her. The dwarves and animals rejoice as the prince takes Snow White to his castle.
