Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
directed by David Hand
by Disney
Considering how old this movie is, it has really nice animation. The rest is just too old-fashioned for my taste. I like fairy tales, but I prefer characters with a little more depth than grumpy and sleepy and chirpy (the princess). Even the evil stepmother is rather boringly evil.
While watching this and trying not to fell asleep, I wondered what Snow White would have done if the evil stepmother hadn’t been so conveniently killed. Would she have asked her prince to wage war on the nation of the stepmother? Would there have been a tribunal with Snow White giving her stepmother a death sentence for attempted murder (after all, you can’t let someone like the stepmother run around) or exile? Would she still be all chirpy after that? What exactly was in the soup she did for the dwarves the first time, maybe some of the nice animals that helped her clean? The mind wanders and wonders.
Rating: 2/5
