1937 - SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, still an impressive animated film.

2 years in the making,  Disney's first full length animated feature is still very impressive.

Walt Disney worked with a lot of people to achieve this one of a kind film.  The film making skill behind this film is very impressive.  Particular attention is given to the color pallet, the design, music and the camera angles used throughout the film.

Probably the one area that dates the film a little bit are the characters of Snow White and Prince Charming.  They have sort of a 1930's look to them, but this is really just a minor whine.

As I indicated above this was a film that was created by a number of artists.  However Walt Disney had the final say on all the scenes that went into the picture.  At times having the animators completely change finished scenes because they didn't meet his high standards.

The film was written by Ted Sears, Richard Creedon, Otto Englander, Dick Rickard, Earl Hurd, Merrill De Maris, Dorothy Ann Blank and Webb Smith.  It runs a perfect 83 minutes.
