The Grimm fairy tale gets a Technicolor treatment in Disney's first animated feature. Jealous of Snow White's beauty, the wicked queen orders the murder of her innocent stepdaughter, but later discovers that Snow White is still alive and hiding in a cottage with seven friendly little miners. Disguising herself as a hag, the queen brings a poisoned apple to Snow White, who falls into a death-like sleep that can be broken only by a kiss from the prince.

Critics Consensus

With its involving story and characters, vibrant art, and memorable songs, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs set the animation standard for decades to come.

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.

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.

There are several movies that can be considered The Greatest Animated Film of All Time, but there’s a reason why Snow White is the only feature that is also known as The One That Started it All.

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.

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.

A complete masterpiece! It's a classic! Plus, who doesn't like Heigh Ho or Whistle while you work? The story is well done

Such a sweet start for Disney! This has been a classical favorite of mine since I was a kid and it's still so entertaining. The dwarves's antics do run on a little bit, but the music more than makes up for it. The simplicity of the whole thing makes it a really easy, fun watch.

Noted as the first, full length animated film it's very timeless. In a way I find it sentimental and vibrant.
