Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Disney's classic film about the beautiful Snow White. 1937. Directors: David Hand, William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, Ben Sharpsteen.
Snow White is a princess, so beautiful that her evil stepmother, the queen, treats her as a slave. She has to clean, do the dishes, swab the floors and polish the stairs and windows.
The queen treats the poor Snow White like that because that she's too beautiful. The queen wants to be the most beautiful woman, so she won't let Snow White dress in nothing but old rags.
One day, Snow White sings by the well with some white pigeons, and her dream prince shows up and they fall in love. But then, the queen decides to kill Snow White because that the mirror on the wall has said that Snow White is the fairest fair of them all.
The hunter who's sent to assassin the gorgeous young princess, feel terribly guilty and lets her run away, but only if she never return. Scared to death, she run into the forest where she faints of fear.
She then find a small cottage, a lovely little cottage hidden in deep into the forest. The people living there are dwarfs, seven dwarfs. They finds her asleep and they all like her, even Grumpy who's very grumpy.
Snow White is allowed to live with the dwarfs, but how long will the happiness last? Will the queen ever find Snow White?
Not the best Disney picture, but it's quite amazing how the people who draw this film could draw such a perfect film. Really incredible. Everything, every single drawing is made by hand. That's what I call Hand Made work. Credit to the draftsmen!
This is might not the most harmless Disney picture. When I was really small, I thought that the queen was really terrifying! I was so scared of her. But now I'm not, but still, small kids might find this film pretty scary sometimes.
