Walt Disney’s 1937 “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” rightly remains one of the most amazing American films ever made.
Originally dubbed “Disney’s Folly” because of the hundreds of artists and technicians involved in its animation, the movie was a box-office smash on its release and has remained a family favorite ever since. Renowned Russian director Sergey Eisenstein (1898–1948) called it the greatest film ever made. With its blend of movement and color, its extravagant collage of animated birds and other wildlife, its music, and its mix of comedy and horror, “Snow White” is indeed a work of art.
