"Snow White The final feature length film from the DVD set "Treasures From American Film Archives" is a classic tale, but set some of the future standards of cinematic interpretations. Or at least it is known to have been a considerable influence on Walt Disney in his inspiration and execution of his own version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. My biggest complaint is that there seems to be moments that jump over major scenes or plot points. I don't know if part of the film is missing or the filmmakers just assumed people were familiar with the story enough to know what wasn't being shown. Otherwise it's a fun example of very early American fantasy filmmaking. Rating: 7/10 "

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#49)100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains (The Queen is the #10 villain)100 Greatest Film Songs (#19 - "Someday My Prince Will Come")The Revised Top 100 (#34)10 Top 10's (#1 Animated) Due to Disney's ironclad vault system, I had to go scouting for a borrowed copy of this film because I refused to waste a Netflix rental on it, when I'd seen it at least a good handful of times. It's been a few weeks since I've watched it again, due to my four-week affiliation with the Producers at the Grand Rapids Civic Theater (yes, that IS a shameless plug - only one week more to see it!), but I've seen the film enough to discuss it at length. I know you're excited. What can I say about Snow White? It's the first (American)* feature-length a ... "

"The fanboys are so serious about The Dark Knight being the best film of 2008 that if the Academy snubs the comic-book adaptation for a Best Picture nomination, they’re liable to storm the Kodak Theatre on February 22 in protest. But why should anyone be worried that it won’t get the nomination? It wouldn’t be much of a coup for the year’s top-grossing blockbuster to be named one of the five Best Picture candidates. In fact, since the very first Academy Awards, the top award has often been handed out to films that were #1 at the box office in their respective year. And the last time it happened was as recent as 2003, with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Thanks to popular and talented filmmakers like D.W. Griffith, Walt Disney, David Lean and Steven Spielberg, it’s hardly uncommon for films to make money and earn critical respect. But this isn’t an opportunity to spotlight overrated top-grossing Best Pictures like

"It’s beginning to look a lot like 1991. A former Disney starlet is on track for a Best Actress nomination. One of cinema’s greatest villainous performances is a sure thing for an acting Oscar. And, due to a relatively disappointing crop of Academy Award contenders, an animated feature is being talked about for Best Picture. One major difference between now and 1991, however, is now there’s a separate Oscar category for Best Animated Feature. While that doesn’t mean Wall-E can’t be the first animated film nominated in the top category since Beauty and the Beast, it does potentially mean that it shouldn’t be. Historically, animated features have been marginalized by the Academy, though not unfairly. The first of its kind in the U.S., Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was not adequately recognized at the 1938 Oscars, so the Academy gave Disney a speci "

"In the long run, I'll have a lot to say about the use of computer graphics in cinema. But might as well start with this short chastisement I sent to the Filmspotting guys earlier in the year to express my horror at the critical reaction to this extremely well-conceived and well-crafted movie for kids of all ages. Only a tiny minority of reviewers correctly placed Speed Racer in its genre. Everybody knows a comic book movie when they see one now, but somehow the critical community can no longer recognize a cartoon! A few samples taken from Rotten Tomatoes

10 Movies That Overcame Bad Buzz

"Two big movies arrive in theaters this week, The Incredible Hulk and The Happening, and each has had its share of bad buzz. From what I can tell, though, the former is recuperating quite nicely with mostly favorable early reviews. And it’s sure to gross in the hundreds of millions, just like its big brother, Ang Lee’s Hulk, did a few years back. The latter, however, is still struggling through the muck, with writer-director M. Night Shyamalan doing everything he can to assure us that his film is merely a B-movie and shouldn’t be the victim of high expectations. If The Happening bombs, though, 20th Century Fox won’t be able to blame its bad buzz. Especially if The Incredible Hulk comes out a big winner this weekend. When a movie is good, or at least has some goods that audiences actually crave, it can overcome bad buzz. The list of films after the jump is evidence of this, although it’s possible that some of the older titles might have been less successful in the globally conscious ... "

"It is hard to overestimate the influence of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Contrary to popular belief, it was not the first feature length animated film (that would the wonderful Adventures of Prince Achmed by Lotte Raniger), but it was the first feature with cell animation, the first with synch sound, the second overall, and certainly the first to be sucesful. Laniger's film played for a few weeks at an art-house theatre in Germany before fading into undeserved obscurity, while this film is, adjusted for inflation, the second highest grossing film ever made, ahead of Star Wars and behind Gone with the Wind. It will probably surpass GWTW sometime this century, as that film's appeal is fading, and Snow White is always discovered by new generations of children. Simply put, there would be no animated feature films without Snow White. There might still be a Disney studio, but it would not have anywhere near the power at has now, and would probably be owned by a conglomorate, inst ... "
