To say of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that it is among the genuine artistic achievements of this country takes no great daring.

"Masterpiece" and all the other enthusiastic words that are to be lavished upon [Snow White] seem too heavy a burden to bear for anything spun with such gracious, heart-warming charm, woven from the stuff of dreams.

The dwarfs are a circus. The prince is handsome. Snow White is a maid of charm appeal and initiative. And Stepmother! Shudder shudder! And laugh till your sides ache!

If I were asked to list the most important movie activity of 1937 ten years from now, I should have only one item to report: Walter Disney made a full length picture. And this one event may save the industry as it is now organized.

While Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs might be simple, it is still an effective feature. The characters are all incredibly likable and the technical backbone of the film is flawless.

I like the story, and truly respect it. God knows itll be ruined with the live action.

While the love story is hilariously underdeveloped and the titular princess can be a bit bland at some points, this is still a charming film that established one of the greatest mediums in film history.

One of the first films I was allowed to see in the early 1960s, and I still have wonderful memories of this movie to this day. This is exactly how fairy tales should be filmed and nothing else. It also shows that people had respect for a cultural asset. If that were still the case today, I would be happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Such a good childhood classic! The evil queen’s true witch form is horrifying! The dwarfs are hilarious!

**Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – A Classic That’s... Just Okay?** ★★½ I *loved* this as a kid—pure nostalgia. The songs? Iconic. The animation? Groundbreaking. And yeah, I had a crush on Snow White. For its time, it’s legendary, but watching now… it drags. The pacing’s rough, and the story’s paper-thin. But the music *still* shines, the dwarves bring charm, and the Evil Queen is way darker than I remembered. It’s a beautiful, historic film that just doesn’t hit the same anymore. Decent, but not dazzling.

Snow White is a dingbat. I was rooting for the hot queen the entire time.
