The first
feature-length animated film in history,
"Snow White" is a testimony to Walt's deep
commitment to taking whatever existed and
making it better. When he first proposed
creating a cartoon that would run for more
than just a few minutes, critics and nay-sayers
abounded. "It'll blind the audience," said
some. "Nobody will watch a cartoon that's so
long," said others. They dubbed it Disney's
Folly. But Walt persisted, risking the
financial future of his studio on the
project. And of course the success was
complete. "Snow White" premiered on December
21, 1937, and provided a financial bonanza
for the Disney organization.
"Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the
fairest one of all?" |
