It was worrying for the studio. The original animated film was such a massive success when it was first released in 1937 that the genre of not only Disney Princess, but also the animated Disney film, and all its copies, was more or less invented. Some of the tropics that innovative Snow White He did almost 90 years ago.

As Snow White Moved from “Disney’s Folly” to the greatest success of Disney
From the outside, Snow White He had all the boondoggl Makence. Nobody ever made an animated film with a feature length and looked at the stupid, Saquishy, a fluorescent caricature of the era, it was hard to imagine that someone would like to sit through a film that connected over an hour. Cartoons are good for giggling, but who wants the one who performs forever? Yet Walt Disney was designed to create an animated function that would be easy to sit, which would have real artistic merit. Get the medium to this point Wow Wow comfortable to the dear.
During the 1930s, Disney turned into an animation studio into what was basically a laboratory to make a great animated film. He had long thought about his “stupid symphonic” shorts were the artistic cousin of the Shorts Mickey Mouse, and now he was too. He poured money into the characters’ lessons for his animators, the classes of the art of large European fairy -tale illustrators, and studies on what the game of light should look like in animation. He paid for huge and expensive jumps in technology, the most notoriousness of creating a multi -sided camera that allowed a new level of depth and perspective in a single image.
Walt Disney has been determined to create an animated function that is easy to sit, that WoW has real artistic merit.
Eventually, Snow White It costs $ 1.5 million in $ 1937, today about $ 34 million. Time Newspaper Snow White “Disney is foolishness.” Instead of when Snow White He got into theaters, it became a hit.

Sergei Eisenstein, a Soviet director who invented the assembly, declared him “the biggest film everyone made”. The cash register is a thick $ 66 million and briefly becomes the highest audio image until Away with the wind Premiere two years later.
In advance Snow White No one has ever been able to make an animation so naturalistic and expressive. Animation in short films to this point was stupid, Vaudeville-Inteered; They usually represent animals because it was too much to attract – mostly with static and unchanging expressions on a flat, simplistic background. Target Snow White It took place in a deep, rich, painting world, and Snow White herself was a charming, beautiful human figure that could blush and laugh and cry the ways that made the audience blushed and laughed and cried correctly. It was a demanding new effect, one that would watch people powerful.
In 1937 Snow White Not all human figures were as naturalistic as Walt Disney would like. The prince’s role was minimized as possible because Disney felt he could never get his face right. Watch it again and see what it means.
Target Snow White Also, Apple had a way that seemed to Flummox Disney, and it took him a while to find out how to duplicate. Continued to develop Snow WhiteThe style of animation compared to its next two functions, 40 years Pinocchio and FantasiaThey both probably overcame Snow White In artistic success – but also could not make money. Massive success Snow White BOUGH DISNEY AFTER Credit to constantly collect loans to finance his more and more expensive films, but then FantasiaThe company was close to bankruptcy.
Disney made Dumbo (1941) and Bambi (1942) About the cheap, abandoning the existing oil painting of his first three films for a more stylized pencil-ttke-shell style that could spew quickly. Society was still floating World War II on the power of a number of military propaganda films, but would not reach the real cash register again in 1950 when it was released Cinderellaa movie that followed carefully in the footsteps Snow White.
In a world where there were two films with the highest grossing Snow White and CinderellaThe matter has settled: would like a successful Disney movie Snow White. Even today, after Pixar, after a fully rendered animation, FrozenStill yes.
As Disney learned Snow White formula
Disney occasionally masses with a formula, but a large classic of the studio tends to watch this basic template set up Snow White 90 years ago.
Snow White He was a musical because commercial films in 1937 were musicals. In today’s Hollywood there are no commercial guarantee musicals, but we still consider music essential for Disney formulas. Snow White begins the film by wishing her prince to come and the prince to sing back to her – now Disney movies tend to give their protagonist the song “I Wante” and Duet Lovers. Snow White She doesn’t have a villain, but the bad queen is so wonderful that songs like “poor unfortunate souls” are a natural extension of the heritage she has begun.
Not all Disney animated films are about princesses or even fairy tales, but in non -profit periods Disney generally turns to the princess to surround things. Small mermaid In 1989 he rockets the studio from his so -called dark age and Disney Renaissance and after falling in 2000 Disney tilted hard into the princess pattern Princess and frog,, Tangledand Frozen. Disney fairy tales tend to be gently bowdlerized and sentimental (Snow White has not woken because of the kiss True Love until it got it) and still loves the addition of didactic moral lessons to its stories such as lesson like lesson like lesson like lesson like lesson lesson like lesson Snow White The love conquers everyone.
Snow White He had cute animal helpers and comic magic; Both would become the basis of Disney’s narration. Snow White Blue and Yellow and Red Dresses would become its signature clothing, an increasingly important piece of Disney’s visual iconography and princesses that followed. Snow White He even innovated the classic Disney strategy to keep the hands of the heroes clean by letting the villain to die, falling from a great height in the middle of a crescento of evil laughter.
What Disney left to follow Snow White Were some of his most stylized elements. In moments, animations with jagged and aggressive lines of German expressionism are playing: when it runs into the wild forest, the trees emerge on it trees and the eyes of wild animals taste, vicious cuts. Disney would continue to play with this aesthetics Pinocchio and FantasiaThis is part of being very considered by its most frightening movies, but later animated features weld such scary scenes into finer, less exciting action sequences.
Disney would also leave a part Snow White This plays the most strange for modern audiences. As the critical Caroline Siede wrote, Snow White It is built as a classic opera or ballet with static, unchanging characters. You may think that Snow White as a character like Pamina, Ingena Magical flute: It is in the middle of the plot, but everything he does is to fall in love during the single duet race and then will never really change. Her funny magical helper and villain’s mother stole the show. In later films, Disney would accept a more film style of narration, with characters who want more than true love and have to overcome the internal SOM mistake to get what they want.
First Snow White It was like nothing that someone had ever seen before. New Snow White is a film cliché.
New live action Snow White He plays as a mysterious attempt to apply this formula back to Disney’s oldest and strongest story. In the new film Snow White wants to protect his kingdom from the selfish evil queen, but to save the day, he must overcome his fear and doubt. He still sings “waiting for wishes” wishes well, but now he sings about how brave he wants to be. All updates are so general that the whole thing sounds like a committee telling.
Yet when Disney attempts to update his narration, she leaves behind a party Snow White This was supposed to be sobbing the first audience in its seats: the charming, painting, famous hand animation-Dras. First Snow White It was like nothing that someone had ever seen before. New Snow White is a film cliché.
Snow White He invented a genre and a new art form. It was a shocking original, so much that you could use it to derive a formula for accepting dozens of movies. But when Disney tries to lean Snow WhiteIt is inheritance, still leans into the formula, risk risking and doing new things. In the end, Disney may have taken the wrong lessons from his greatest success.
