Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Synopsis

Adapted from the Grimm fairytale, this ‘Disney’s groundbraking gem (The Guardian, 2019), is chillingly dark in places, reflecting its roots in European folklore, but the deft Disney touch ensures that the overall tone remains light and the story develops apace, swept along on the perfect musical score. Any lingering gloom is quickly dispelled by the superbly characterised dwarfs and by the humorous antics of the various irresistible fauna that threaten to steal the show in several scenes. The pioneering animation is breathtaking, a milestone in cinema history (Helen Baker).
