Disney’s Snow White

A lot has been said against the “Disney-fication” of fairy tales, and for the most part I agree.

However.

Check out the introductory sequence of Snow White, which was released in 1937. It’s dark, dramatic, and exquisitely animated. It leaves The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast in the dirt. The evil queen is genuinely disturbing and, well, evil. The peacock throne is a nice touch.
