Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This is the first Walt Disney film premiered in 1937. If I think again, this movie has a lot of potential whether Walt Disney'll succeed in the future or fails. Apparently not because we can find a lot of Walt Disney movies and it still continues to succeed until now. If Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs fail at the time then Zootopia, Inside Out, Frozen, Moana, Coco will never exist. For Walt Disney's first step, we all know it will be wonderful to watch this movie at the time where there are so many lovely things when watching this movie as a child and it feels like hold those memories again.In a nutshell, this is just a fairy tale or story time before sleeping for children where bad guys always lose, good guys always win, and happily ever after. By the way, there's no particular reason why I'm watching this movie again. I watch this movie because this is my final college assignment before enjoy the holiday but there is nothing wrong if I enjoy it when watching this again. I feel pity for kids nowadays who don't like these type of movies anymore and I just feel sorry for them being so grown fast instead adults that just want to relish their childhood memories. So, this is Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs with the story that everyone already knows but there are interesting ideas from this movie.I think there's nothing else can be explained by the main story because everyone already knows how the prefix and suffix. I see that Walt Disney always gives a story that will always focus on the main character from beginning to the end as if it seems like the character makes its own world, not by the other character and this is what is shown in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. The animation was like watching classic cartoons at the time and this has also got me stuck in those years where I prefer Tom & Jerry to the modern cartoons, though there are some good ones too.The animations which shown are so much different from modern animation because they are more hand-painted than computer animated from the background, smooth character movements, and don't forget the cliche story that was presented quite interesting at the time. Frame by frame and every character movement that's so detailed enough it has great potential for modern animations where animation like this is more feels alive and have more effort.At the time, it was only children who paid a great attention to films like this because they were more familiar with most fairy tale animations such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, and others. I also noticed that Walt Disney's films always keep me paying attention to other animated films, for example, the part where the character cries and is more visible to express it so as we don't realize that we are carried along with it too.Walt Disney movies are also compatible with musical where there is always singing and singing. Not to mention, Snow White and others always bring a hazy impression like for the example in the scene where Snow White escaped from the dark forest where it was only to scare the children a bit.Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs is like a musical movie that more attracts the audience to sing. The first impression is like soothing a nostalgia effect when watching it, introducing a beautiful world which impressed built by the main character. At the time, I can only say where Walt Disney took the idea or imagination of this movie? I don't think there's anything wrong with his name that always on the credit even after his death because he's the one who brought the movie, the Disney logo that we often see at the opening credit is like that.I also like the characters who participate in this movie because they are not just already but participate in a story like The Huntsman that tells Snow White to escape to the forest where the next scene will bring together the seven dwarfs, the magic mirrors that pull the conflict which the story goes, the prince where he is the one who makes everything become happy and etc. I also like the introduction of the seven dwarfs where Snow White can figure out from the behavior of all the dwarfs because of the names on their beds.Yeah, it's kinda boring by the way and the story idea is weak because it uses a character with excessive personification but back then, this is one of the smart approaches. We watch it as a child and we don't care whether there is a unique part or deficiency, screw that. I also remember seeing one scene when Snow White escaped into the magical dark forest and filled with terrible creatures where the scene scared me half to death inside.Finding a lack is the same as saying that all Walt Disney movies are bad but, the story idea may be a bit stale because there are many improvisations that are united into new stories like Snow White And The Huntsman where Snow White is portrayed as a tough character while Snow White And The Seventh Dwarfs are described as feminine women in general. The film is also a film that I make as the final assignment to for comparing both works of literature.Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs is a masterpiece which has a lot of influence and potential for modern filmmaking industry. An animation that full of nostalgia, fresh story ideas, and fairy tale that tend to be enjoyed at the time. Walt Disney is not just making it but he is someone who can bring the film industry into something that can be enjoyed by all people. With memorable characters, scenes, and quote from the Queen, I think this is a film that gives an effect for now especially in animation.
Nowadays it's hard to imagine the impact, the popularity and the fascination cartoons and comic strips had for the American public — especially in the Golden Years from around 1930 to 1950. "All newspapers have news, but only one newspaper has The Gumps!" proudly proclaimed The Chicago Sun (and scores of affiliated newspapers across the country). Such a slogan would be meaningless to 99% of today's readers (and absolutely risible to the other 1%). Since the 1950s, cartoons and comic strips have generally been regarded as third-rate fodder for children. However, there are always riders to every sweeping statement. The exceptions here are Fantasia (especially in its 1970's re-issue when it was taken up by the hallucinogenic generation) and "L'il Abner" which enjoyed a surprising bout of adult popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. In my childhood days, the comic strip and the comic book were regarded as less than praiseworthy amusements that older children were encouraged to out-grow; and the theatrical cartoon was a mindless diversion for backward youngsters whose limited attention spans were incapable of taking in a whole feature like Lassie Come Home or National Velvet. In my home town, the situation was even worse. There was never a cult following for Tex Avery, and adult cartoons like Fritz the Cat fell flat at the box-office. Despite his macabre humor, Disney was always regarded as strictly for kids. Adults couldn't care less whether Mickey Mouse had three fingers or four, whether Bambi lost a hundred mothers, whether Snow White lived or died. Because I loved cartoons, I was regarded as brain-damaged or eccentric. Often I found myself the lone adult in an audience of irritable children who found films like "Dumbo" way above their heads. I have similar happy memories of Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, Gay Purree, The Lady and the Tramp, Ichabod and Mr Toad and Mr Bug Goes To Town. (Hey There, It's Yogi Bear, and A Man Called Flintstone, I loathed. I felt they were designed for mental zombies!) However, the animated feature I love best of all is Snow White. It's a film I can enjoy over and over. Snow White herself may be a bit pallid, but the Wicked Queen and the seven dwarfs are brilliantly characterized. The songs are a joy, the animation often dazzlingly inventive, the colors and compositions a visual delight. The story has pace, charm, atmosphere, humor and excitement. If you are immune to its call, and if its music doesn't stir your soul, you're missing one of the seven wonders of the cinema.
Snow White gets most of its renown simply for being so stunningly groundbreaking and it totally deserves every accolade it gets for that, and so much more. Everything this company has done is because of this movie, and the timelessness of all these classics is shocking. The dwarfs are great, the detail is gorgeous, the old witch is super creepy, and I ADORE the surrealist nightmare-like visuals in the forest. Even if it isn't the best of Disney, it's certainly up there and arguably their most important.
I knew I liked the movie and disliked Snow White...or so I thought. Last night, I re-watched the movie for the first time in years and was blown away. Snow White was much more than I remembered her to be. She sang while she cleaned at the beginning, but she wasn't necessarily happy with it, and she didn't say things that made me laugh, but had a sense of humor herself! She is pretty naive to let in a stranger, but she has a personality and is a really kind person. Her singing seems poor, but that could be because of the recording back then. I love all the work Disney and the other producers put into this film. There are around thirty animals that help Snow White clean the house, and each of them move separately, meaning they had to do a similar, but not the same, drawing for each frame. Speaking of art, I noticed that not not all of the coloring was filled by computer! (People complain that the original movie was ruined because they no longer have the hand-colored drawings.) Some of this is the original work the artists did by hand. The edge of Snow White's hair is watercolor, as os the raven that watched the Evil Queen make potions.The Evil Queen is the first Disney full-length movie villain and one of the best. The songs aren't the best or that memorable--not that they're bad, I just wouldn't consider all of them beautiful classics--but the music is beautiful. With some parts of the movie, like when the dwarfs are thinking there's a monster in the house, I'm thinking, "Could we speed things up a little?" but most of it is engaging. It's an excellent classic with everything audiences need--music, humor, action, romance, drama, and family. It's an excellent movie for the whole family! I am glad I watched it and can't wait to again.
