![]() ![]() ![]() In celebration of the 85th anniversary of Snow White, the Disney Movie Club has created an all-new featurette, 10 Ways Snow White Changed Animation Forever, exploring these groundbreaking precedents. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was responsible for many “firsts,” not just for animation but for all of cinema. Though it’s well known that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length animated feature, did you know it was the first movie to have a soundtrack? Or that it was the first movie to use film actors to create realistic animated characters in a technique called “live-action reference”? That may be a standard in the animator’s toolbox today, but it was first done for the 1937 film. As we know now, Snow White started a new genre of movies not only for Disney, but also for the whole film industry! ![]() Today it’s hard to imagine there once was a time when there wasn’t a full-length animated movie-but before 1937’s Snow White hit the screen, people called the movie “Walt’s Folly” and warned that viewers might go blind from watching a “cartoon” for that long. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was not only a groundbreaking movie for The Walt Disney Company, but a watershed moment for animation. Snow White reawakens in an exclusive Disney Movie Club anniversary edition, including a new featurette: 10 Ways Snow White Changed Animation Forever. ![]()
