(Welcome to 100 Years of Disney Magic, a series examining the history, achievements, and legacy of The Walt Disney Company over the last century. Part 5, "Silly Symphonies: The Oscar-Winning Disney Animation Series That The Studio Forgot" looked at the groundbreaking, critically acclaimed shorts the studio produced in the '30s. In Part 6, we finally talk about "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," the first full-color animated feature film and arguably Disney's most important contribution to cinema.)
What can I say about "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" that hasn't already been said?
The 1937 film changed the world. Mere years after Walt Disney Productions shook up the animation industry by putting sound in "Steamboat Willie" in 1928 and then color in "Flowers and Trees" in 1932, the team set their sights on revolutionizing the world of cartoons once again: with a feature-length, full-color, animated fairy tale.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was a sensation.

In Disney Princess: Beyond the Tiara, longtime Rolling Stone contributor Emily Zemler takes a deep dive into how various beloved princesses became the cultural icons they are today, from Snow White’s lasting reign to newer, inspiring royalty like Moana.
The book weaves interviews with historians and those who helped shape the characters, including directors and voice talent, alongside concept art and memorabilia, and breaks down important themes integral to how the princesses serve as inspirations.
Music, of course, is a key element to the storytelling and what makes the characters resonate for decades,...

It can be hard to imagine that a film from 1940 can really hold up with audiences today, but with the release of the Pinocchio Signature Collection Blu-Ray, that idea immediately takes on new life. Though it may have its oddities, like characters smoking and an unusual sense of pace by today’s standards, the tale is as engrossing and inspiring for young audiences today as it ever was.
The real sell here comes by way of bonuses, as the video and audio will feel somewhat dated and this is not a new remaster, or similar rework of the actual product itself. That said, the film does look wonderful.
First off, the release comes with a lot of bonuses that were available on previous releases. They may not be new, but they shouldn’t be written off when looking at this release. These include hours of great features including a...

I’m overdue with a new film book survey, and with the holidays upon us I’m trying my best to catch up. If you sense some redundancy in my descriptions of the following titles, it’s because they are all elaborate, beautifully printed coffee-table books, any one of which would make a fine gift. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and read the texts—with the exception of the Snow White and Gershwin titles—so these are first impressions, rather than reviews. There are more to come… stay tuned. The Fairest One Of All: The Making Of Walt Disney’S Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs by J.B. Kaufman; Foreword by Diane Disney Miller (Walt...
