Caroline Siede Girl Culture (Substack) Narratively and thematically, Disney princess films would evolve quite a bit over the next 88 years. But tonally and visually, Snow White set a template Disney has never entirely moved away from. Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Otis Ferguson The New Republic To say of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that it is among the genuine artistic achievements of this country takes no great daring. Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Mildred Martin Philadelphia Inquirer "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. Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Ben Sherlock Screen Rant Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' live-action remake might be getting eviscerated by critics, but the O.G. Disney Princess movie is a timeless gem. Rated: 8/10 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Justin Kim Loud and Clear Reviews Even if its revolutionary elements may have diminished in today’s context, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) still manages to be engaging through its masterful visuals. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Pare Lorentz McCall's 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. Oct 30, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Joseph S Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs is an important achievement in animation. It does a fabulous job in implementing full-length narrative stories, which in turn is based off a fairy tale, and putting it into a cohesive animated film. The best part about the film is that it is never dull, and has perfect pacing and nothing seems out of place or dragged out. The animation is fantastic, but the human animation is hit-or-miss, but gets a pass since the animators were new to animating realistic humans. However, masterful background art and the animation of the non-human characters, such as the dwarfs and forest animals, is sublime. The engaging characters and especially the score and songs are magnificent and add to the film's personality and timelessness. This is one of those films that I will never get tired of watching, no matter how many times I see it. As the one that started it all and the one that set the stone for every animated feature film succeeding it, it has a lot to be proud of. Walt deserved the honorary Academy Awards and the film deserves all the recognition it has received over the last 85 plus years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Ready4 R I've watched it after the live action with Ms Zeglar and I see why people we're angry. Snow White was feminine, they featured the dwarfs and the style of the movie found a way to tell the story little words which was a breath of fresh air because it felt old but needed. Would have been amazing to see a love action that was just like this movie, especially since it was so significant in Disney's history. The first colored film etc etc. the new one made history for all the wrong reasons. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Shane S. A beautiful story with excellent animation for the time, memorable songs, and lovable characters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Audience Member A very beautiful piece of animation history. Every frame is filled to the brim with love and creativity. The story is classic fairytale and executed nicely. The Characters, tough not many, are charming and creative. The score and music are both classic Disney masterpieces. The Evil Queen is also terrifying. It may be dated but is still very enjoyable and an amazing first step in animation Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Kauã L The greatest classic Disney has made to date cannot do what Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs did. This film is a comfortable film to watch.
