Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)


The Disney animated classic that started it all. Based on the Grimms' fairy tale, it tells the story of a princess who is banished from her kingdom by an evil stepmother who envies her youth and beauty. She seeks refuge in the forest where she encounters seven dwarfs, each possessing unique characteristics.
This film is quite simply a marvel of its time and cannot be ignored in the annals of film history, having influenced every bit of cel animation that came after it. It's a triumph that still holds up in all its simplicity and elegance, pure heart and true love's kiss notwithstanding. The songs are catchy and will have you humming long after it's over. Its values can still be looked up to today.
