The One a That Started It All

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2015)

Snow White remains the greatest achievement from the Disney Studio. Nowadays it seems hard to believe that there was once a time where many people thought the idea of a full length animated feature was preposterous and that people could have an emotional reaction to a cartoon was never considered. Snow White proved the naysayers wrong. For Disneys first feature, the artists did everything really effectively with timing, character development, storytelling, mood, and atmosphere. For me the elements that really grabbed me were the layouts, the dramatic moods, and of course the dwarfs. An interesting anecdote relating to Snow White's voice is that some of the people who worked on the film, including Disney himself, were irritated by her high pitched voice at times (I wonder how her voice actor felt about that).
With over 50 animated films that have been produced from Disney in the decades since, Snow White remains one of greatest.
