Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2005)

This is the very first of the legendary Walt Disney full length animated films. The story of the evil woman who wanted to be "fairest in the land", and her stepdaughter that was ruining her dream. When the stepdaughter, Snow White finds out that her stepmother, The Queen wants her dead she runs away to hide. She manages to find an empty little cottage in the forest. Later she finds out that it belongs to seven little men, dwarfs. They all have very funny names matching their traits: Doc, Sleepy, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey and Sneezy. Living with these seven men Snow White has a lot of fun. But later this fun is ruined when the Queen finds out that Snow White isn't dead and turns herself into a witch to find her. She poisons her with a red apple (oh, and then dies). The dwarfs place her in a coffin, and then the prince rescues her with love's first kiss (the cure of the poison death). A very good film with some very good animation! Walt Disney deservedly won an Honorary Oscar, accompanied by seven miniature statuettes. The Queen was number 10 on 100 Years, 100 Heroes & Villains, ("Some Day My Prince Will Come" was number 19 on 100 Years, 100 Songs, the film was number 43 on The 100 Greatest Musicals, it was number 80 on The 100 Greatest Scary Moments for the Queen's transformation, it was number 42 on The 100 Greatest Family Films, it was number 60 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons, it was number 3 on The Ultimate Film, it was number 49 on 100 Years, 100 Movies, and it was number 80 on The 100 Greatest Films. Outstanding!
