An amazing breakthrough for animation, though it hasn't aged as well as some other classic cartoons.

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2015)

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is a breakthrough film. It's the first full-length cartoon and a HUGE achievement for Disney. As such, it opened up new ground, established some of the formulas we still see today in animated films and is still darned entertaining. Had there been an IMDb back in 1937, I surely would have scored this one a 10--no doubt about that. However, despite being one of my favorite and sweetest Disney films, I also have to admit that the film, though wonderful, does suffer a bit on two accounts. First, Snow White's voice and singing is hellishly awful. What was wonderful for 1937 is just cringe-worthy today. Second, the ending is very abrupt and lacks depth. Still, the animation is wonderful, the story terrific and the film is easy to love. If you don't love this one, then you must be insane or just plain evil!
