    I wish the animation industry was still like this, or even in the 90's when they blended hand drawn stuff with the 3D stuff. Nothing beats the look of a well done hand drawn/ painted animated movie.

      Well, Japanese animation industry is still mainly involved 2D, or to say hand-drawn animation today, but 3D technique is also applied when dealing with background or cars, something like that

      2D and 3D are both charming in their own ways, if done correctly. Blending 2D drawing animation with 3D CGI is a unique idea by creators. The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tarzan and Treasure Planet are the biggest examples! :)
      3D animation also has charm as long as you utilize them correctly. Just look at Toy Story, that first movie from Pixar still looks charming for a 90’s movie with the limitations of its time. ^^

      Disney has no heart or passion for movies anymore. It's all for the sake of profit, not for the fact that it's fun to do or exciting to do. Ward commented on this when Walt proposed doing Snow White, 'You couldn't turn us (animators) off. We were excited about it.'
      I get zero excitement from the company anymore. They don't do animated fairytales, they do modern tales with modern humor that literally is not what Disney was about in the beginning. They don't do it for children like Walt wanted.

    There's an animator in Tokyo Japan, named Hayao Miyazaki, who people respect like a modern day Walt Disney.
    His style of animation is very similar to Disney's Snow White. It's very flowing, emotional, and uplifting. You'll laugh, you'll cry, etc. He's very very good. He and his team of animators have created some beautiful animated movies. Howl's Flying Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Monoke, and many others.

This was a true eye-opener. Thoroughly enjoyable. The way they animated depth using layers of glass and how they used real-life dancing people to provide movement for the animators (a bit like they do today with suited individuals) is superb. I watched as a child 35 years later on TV. I love it! Thank you for sharing! Highly recommend watching this historic making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

    My grandmother watched Snow White when it came out in theaters. She said it was so scary she wet her pants (she was maybe 6-7 years old at the time.) I heard a story about how upholstered seats at the theaters needed to be replaced because so many kids were wetting their pants. It speaks to how dramatic and powerful the animated movie was. As they mentioned in the video, the film brought animation at least 20 years further in to the future in just 2 years time. Disney was an exceptional storyteller, performer and leader in the industry. A lot of people I know still fear the Snow White witch. As adults. That’s saying a lot 😱

      true, most cartoons and 'children's' films that come out today aren't as beautifully made as they once were, you can really see how much work Disney but into their films. Disney didn't just appeal to children, it appealed to everyone, I can go back and watch Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Fantasia and all the other Disney classics and enjoy them just as much as I did when I was younger, also, some kids movies and cartoons like to pander to the audience, I am all for representation of different cultures but the way some shows do it is just awful.

    Snow White is the film that started my life long love affair with everything Disney. Visually it is beautiful, you really care about the characters journeys. I can never watch the end without it bringing a tear to my eye even though I have watched it many times. Disney animated characters can make you feel just as much if not more emotion than real life ones 💖

      It's funny when she says it's 1937 that she thinks 1937 was when witches tried killing women who had skin white as snow hair black as a raven lips red as blood. All of these stories are from medieval or earlier times. Hansel and Gretel probably are the one closest to reality except the witch would have been the step-mom and the food would have been the children back during the time they claimed there was a crop failure because of an eruption that made eating quite impossible.

    The first movie I ever experienced. My older brother and I watched from the top of an old caboose that was part of a drive-in movie "complex". I think the year was 1954, I was seven. It was summertime, everybody had their car windows down, and we could hear everything. I remember thinking that this was looking at real life, condensed to about an hour and a half. I believed that what I saw was actually happening, I particularly remember crying at Snow White laid out in her glass coffin, and I was filled with joy when she came back to life. To this day, it remains my favorite feature film. This is a great documentary!

  • @robertgoidel

    Snow White was a fantastic production in the world of animation in the 1930's the pinnacle pf animation of that era of Hollywood activity during that time before WWII. I have watched Snow White no less than a dozen times and marvel at what Walt Disney and company produced, draw, and colorized with Technicolor during that time to create a most beloved story on film that people today still treasure its story. Parts of it still brings tears to my eyes but it is a wonderful film that everyone should see and enjoy.

    And I'm struck by how miled mannered he seems, he reminds me a lot of George Lucas in that regard. A quite man, but who has to be a tenacious force to be reckoned with to do the things they've done, yet they both sound like they're explaining what they did on their day off to you on a Sunday afternoon, rather than how they revolutionised an industry.
