Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (first released on December 21, 1937) is an animated family film by The Walt Disney Company in which a jealous queen tries to have her stepdaughter murdered, but instead the girl is given shelter by seven dwarves who live deep in a forest. (The movie's title uses the word "dwarfs," not "dwarves.")The movie was adapted by Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith from the fairy tale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm. The names of the dwarves (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy) were created for this production. The film was directed by David Hand.
Walt Disney had to mortgage his house to pay for the film's production.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length animated feature made in English and won an honorary Academy Award for Walt Disney "as a significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field." Disney received a full-size Oscar statuette and seven miniature ones, presented to him by Shirley Temple.
The movie was also nominated for Best Music, Score. Well-known songs from the film include: "Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! (It's off to work we go)," "Some Day My Prince Will Come," and "Whistle While You Work."
There is an easy way to remember the names of the dwarves. There are three emotions (Happy, Grumpy, Bashful), two D's (Dopey, Doc), and two S's (Sleepy, Sneezy).
A version with live actors based on the film, titled Snow White: The Fairest of Them All and starring Kristin Kreuk, was made in 2002.
