Fairytale on the screen

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2012)

this was the first big movie from Walt Disney and his team, and it was received with great cheers from everyone - the audience as well as the critics. The movie even got a special price from the Academy Awards: One normal sized Oscar, and seven small ones! They didn't have a category for Animated Movies at that time, but its popularity was demanding much attention - and got it! It's a feel good movie that I remember well from my own childhood, but now in my old days I have some critiques. It's a good adventure, but it evolves as more like a musical, a type of genre that I normally greatly dislike. A few songs could have been skipped, and the choreography in the dancing scenes are too "nice". However, this fairytale from the brothers Grimm that I read as a child, was very exiting, and done good on the big screen. It has great animation with good colours and a marvelous depth in the frames. And the dwarfs are fantastic characters; all seven from Grumpy to Dopey.
Yes, this movie was ground-breaking when it hit the silver screen, and I think all animated features from Disney is very good - well,up to the end of the 70s. But this one is great entertainment for any family member!
