Someday my prince will come...

Like I said in my last post, I shall be talking about interesting/fun facts about Disney's theatrical released movies! (I have to say theatrically released or there would be too many movies to talk about)

This week I'm going to be talking about Snow White!! I'll be doing this in a point format so that there is some sort of order....

1. This was Disney's first ever feature length film, along with being America's first animated feature film, the first to be produced in color, and the first in Disney's Animated Classics canon..
        - lets just say that this movie had a lot of firsts! It's cool to think that Disney was the first to produce a film in color...the first ever in America!!

2. It's based on the Brothers Grimm German fairytale (which, as most Grimm Brothers tales are, is a lot darker than the Disney version...)

3. It was released in 1937

4. If you look at the cast list you will find it extremely short...there are only the bare essential voices for the necessary characters...If you watch the movie the animals don't have voices or make sounds, they merely have music to show their actions and feelings...

5. Introduced young girls to the concept of 'love at first sight'

6. Was the first Disney princess 

There isn't much to this movie, aside from the slightly creepy scenes with the evil Queen, it's a cute movie...true love prevails the end! Oh, one final note, this is the first movie that the prince rode off into the sunset with his beloved by his side with the 'and they lived happily ever after' concept!!
