#Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (1937)

[artist-issues]

I Hate How She Talks About Snow White

"People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it's like, yeah, it is − because it needed that. It's an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond 'Someday My Prince Will Come. "

Let me tell you a little something's about that "85-year-old cartoon," miss Zegler.

It was the first-ever cel-animated feature-length full-color film. Ever. Ever. EVER. I'm worried that you're not hearing me. This movie was Disney inventing the modern animated film. Spirited Away, Into the Spider-Verse, Tangled, you don't get to have any of these without Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937.)

Speaking of what you wouldn't get without this movie, it includes anime as a genre. Not just in technique (because again, nobody animated more than shorts before this movie) but in style and story. Anime, as it is now, wouldn't exist without Osamu Tezuka, "The God of Manga," who wouldn't have pioneered anime storytelling in the 1940s without having watched and learned from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the 1930s. No "weeb" culture, no Princess Mononoke, no DragonBall Z, no My Hero Academia, no Demonslayer, and no Naruto without this "85-year-old cartoon."

It was praised, not just for its technical marvels, not just for its synchronized craft of sound and action, but primarily and enduringly because people felt like the characters were real. They felt more like they were watching something true to life than they did watching silent, live-action films with real actors and actresses. They couldn't believe that an animated character could make kids wet their pants as she flees, frightened, through the forest, or grown adults cry with grieving Dwarves. Consistently.

Walt Disney Studios was built on this movie. No no; you're not understanding me. Literally, the studio in Burbank, out of which has come legends of this craft of animated filmmaking, was literally built on the incredible, odds-defying, record-breaking profits of just Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, specifically.

Speaking of record-breaking profits, this movie is the highest-grossing animated film in history. Still. TO THIS DAY. And it was made during the Great Depression.

In fact, it made four times as much money than any other film, in any other genre, released during that time period. It was actually THE highest-grossing film of all time, in any genre, until nothing less than Gone With the Wind, herself, came along to take the throne.

It was the first-ever animated movie to be selected for the National Film Registry. Actually, it was one of the first movies, period, to ever go into the registry at all. You know what else is in the NFR? The original West Side Story, the remake of which is responsible for Rachel Ziegler's widespread fame.

Walt Disney sacrificed for this movie to be invented. Literally, he took out a mortgage on his house and screened the movie to banks for loans to finish paying for it, because everyone from the media to his own wife and brother told him he was crazy to make this movie. And you want to tell me it's just an 85-year-old cartoon that needs the most meaningless of updates, with your tender 8 years in the business?

Speaking of sacrifice, this movie employed over 750 people, and they worked immeasurable hours of overtime, and invented--literally invented--so many new techniques that are still used in filmmaking today, that Walt Disney, in a move that NO OTHER STUDIO IN HOLLYWOOD was doing in the 30's, put this in the opening credits: "My sincere appreciation to the members of my staff whose loyalty and creative endeavor made possible this production." Not the end credits, like movies love to do today as a virtue-signal. The opening credits.

It's legacy endures. Your little "85-year-old cartoon" sold more than 1 million DVD copies upon re-release. Just on its first day. The Beatles quoted Snow White in one of their songs. Legacy directors call it "the greatest film ever made." Everything from Rolling Stones to the American Film Institute call this move one of the most influential masterpieces of our culture. This movie doesn't need anything from anybody. This movie is a cultural juggernaut for America. It's a staple in the art of filmmaking--and art, in general. It is the foundation of the Walt Disney Company, of modern children's media in the West, and of modern adaptations of classical fairy tales in the West. When you think only in the base, low, mean terms of "race" and "progressivism" you start taking things that are actually worlds-away from being in your league to judge, and you relegate them to silly ignorant phrases like "85-year-old cartoon" to explain why what you're doing is somehow better.

Sit down and be humble. Who the heck are you?

“Over the seven jeweled hills, beyond the seventh wall, in the cottage of the seven dwarfs, dwells Snow White, fairest one of all.”

Here's a design I did of what Gal Gadot's Evil Queen might look like, to go with my Snow White drawing. I had little to go off, just based on what people described from the D23 footage: dark makeup, dark lips, and a smaller crown, but pretty accurate to her original design. I just had fun with it!

Something I wanted to point out, a lot of people do tend to praise Disney ladies like Nani and Princesses like Moana for having realistic body types and claiming that others don't and have tiny unrealistic waists but I just want to point out: Snow White's waistline and overall body is actually pretty realistic. At least compared to that of Aurora, Ariel and Belle.

Most of the cinched waist art of her is more or less modern merchandising art of her and just in general modern art of her. They aren't loyal to the actual body type her actual movie model has.

You could say it is because she is rotoscoped using a real human model but... every other 2D princess had a human model as well. Granted, the animators probably also just stuck exactly to the human model because they were all new to this but I think its an interesting thing to think about.

All the more reason to give Snow a little bit of love.

Snow White with a Twist~

What would happen if Snow White was never alone at the Cottage on that Fateful morning? I do this to myself all the time~ thinking of different paths a story could take... but this one is special to keep for me, because its based on a dream I once had. Trust me, an actual dream... if the boulder had fallen the OTHER direction. I do hope you enjoy~ :)

There was a supposedly timid knock on the door upon a sudden. 

“Is anyone home?” came an all new, cracked voice.

Snow White instantly startles at the sound. “Oh dear!” she gasped, alerting Grumpy nearby, who was carving.

“I knew my corns were right~” he grumbled, instantly dropping the block, going straight to the girl’s side. “Get away from the window~”

“Grumpy, no... it is only an old lady~” Snow White remarked, dearly confused.

“I have some apples, that would make the menfolks mouths waterrrrr~” cooed this old, strange voice.

“Old lady, gah! You, a princess, had told us that she were lookin' for ya, I sure ain't lettin' up. Under the stair, get - Now…"

“Oh Grumpy~ I-... I trust you, but please please, do be careful~”

“Whatever ye might hear, do not come out -- ye hear me?”

“I do~ please come back.” the sweet Princess cooed.

To his surprise, she softly took his hand. It was an action that melted his old heart, just like before from that mere peck on the head.

“I -- aye -- I will, Princess…” he promised her, gruff and sincere to the lady before he went through the back way with his pickaxe.

“Sellin' apples, what do ya take us fer? There ain't no orchard 'round here on the seventh…"  

He silently sneaked along the side of the cottage, peeks to see this hunched over hag in a black robe.* As wrinkled as an old boot, I see...

Some of the birds who felt the danger to all softly twittered at him from the pines. “Ah, yer onto her too, heh? Figures. Knew those fools be too trustin' for leavin'... The mine can wait, but egh~!”

Looking over, he saw a bucket of water and fair few pine cones...

The Hag seemed to believe that the princess was all alone but apparently the cottage was quiet. The girl was smarter than she thought. Although smarter than those men who left her alone for her picking... or so she thought.

Something sharp hit her right on the head, that was so sharp that it made her drop of her basket of apples. They all rolled about on the ground in different directions... the one she favored rolled at the feet of one lone Dwarf…

The Hag looked stunned to see one of the Little Men, when she thought they all had left for that Mine. But one did not… 

“Oh, it is a little man. A beastly little man~” she seethed with hatred and disappointment. 

Grumpy’s eye caught onto the blood red apple that rolled close to him. Something about it roused the worry in the birds and the squirrels, warning him to not touch it. The hag seemed to be unhinged, eyeing the specific fruit, trying to look kindly and sweet. Grumpy sharply winked, a sign that he was on edge. He had his pickaxe set and held tight.

“Yer trespassin’.” he warned.

“N-now be kind to ol’ granny. I-I was just seeing if you wanted to try one of my apples. Would you like one?”

“I ain’t that stupid.” he snapped. “Yer on Dwarven land, and ye need to leave. Don’t care what you mean by it, we want nothin’ — Git! Or meet my pick!”

The Hag seemed to snarl, eyeing the red apple near him and he picked up on that right away. He took the back end of his pick and smashed the red fruit into pieces. The Hag screamed out in rage. As he feared, there was green slime slipping out of the pieces of white apple. Slime leaked around on the grass, killing a patch instantly. Grumpy jumped at the sight, realizing fully.

“Poison!”

Inside the cottage, the poor sweet Princess, Snow White listened to what was going on outside. Covering her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes… yet she had to keep quiet for Grumpy… He was so brave. He truly did care for her. Just as brave as the Huntsman who told her to run into the woods… Where she was protected… 

“So smart, aren’t you, little Dwarf~?” she heard a change in the Hag’s voice. It sounded deranged. “I know you are hiding her. You do not know who you are dealing with, you little fool!”

“Ye want her, come get her…” she heard Grumpy’s threat. His voice was different too. Somehow, it felt like the Huntsman had returned.

There was a thrash when the old Hag attempted to throw a stone at him; one he easily dodged before she tried to run. Foolhardy, he charged after her as soon as there came the chorus of charging fellow Dwarfs coming from the glen, among a herd of deer and those birds, and squirrels. 

Doc, Happy and Bashful were first to charge out, seeing their comrade take first charge before they all clambered to follow. Chasing after the terrible disguised Hag toward this barren mountain side. As the sun became hidden behind darkened clouds, there came a mighty bellow of thunder. Doc and Happy saw their dear charge open the door in fear…

“Princess!” they cried out to her, running up in tears of relief that she was unharmed.

“Oh, Happy! Doc! Oh!” Snow White wept, embracing the two in sobs.

“Are you ha-harmed, my dear!? Doc’s voice naturally trembled in her ear.

“No~ no, I am not! Grumpy, he-he chased the old woman away~ He told me to stay inside…”

“And inside, you will say-stay! Happy, guard her well~”

“Not movin’ an inch, Doc~” Happy nodded.

As for the rest of the Dwarfs, they were not letting this go. As Grumpy was first on the climb, his brethren followed quick, throwing whatever they could find at the fleeing Hag. She tried to climb, higher and higher, even as the rain fell harsh and sharp upon the rocks. 

“There she goes! Don’t let her get away, men!” Grumpy cried out as they soon reached the nearest peak where she found herself trapped by a tight ledge looking over the valley below.

“Watch out for that rock!!” Doc cried, just in time for them to duck and cover as rocks began to roll down.

“She’s pushing them all on us, get aside - Aside!” Sneezy cried.

“Surround her, surround her!”

“You insufferable little fools!!” they heard that Hag seeth at them from above. “You think you can catch me! The Fairest in the Land! You cannot protect her forever, None of you! Follow me, if you dare!” this crazed Witch kept cackling to the point that she could easily fall.

Grumpy, being the farthest ahead, had his eyes set on the mighty boulder that was beginning to teeter over them… Her shadow could be seen as lightning began to threaten the ledge. He was determined, seeing her distracted.

“I’ll get ya! I’ll get ya! I will crush your bones!” she cackled, as Grumpy was first to reach the highest rock.

To the horror of the five other little men, there was a flash of lightning that struck at the feet of the Hag. All it took was a blink… A single moment passed and there came a shrill scream that faded into the billowing thunder’s roll… 

The Dwarfs were all too frazzled for a moment as the massive stone at the peak was teetering dangerously over them. All it took was a moment until it began to roll down the mountain side. Doc lost sight of Grumpy, however~

“Aside, men! Aside!” he cried as the boulder rolled quick. 

Sneezy, Bashful, Sleepy bounded to the safest spots they could find aside to get out of the way. Dopey dove between two rocks as the thing sped down in a tumble all the way to the bottom.

There was a bone chilling sound that Happy and the Princess could plainly hear from the cottage… A crumbling roar as the boulder landed deep into the mossy ground, that was so heavy that the ground shook from its might… Soon, all there could be was the sound of drumming rain…

Among the rocks, the four all cautiously climbed from their hiding, breathless. Doc had to shove some rocks in order to free himself… His spectacles were missing but other than that, he was only fairly bruised. 

“Men? Men! All right?” he called up to them. “Bound - Sound off~ Dopey, where are ya?” he feared but was glad to see the mute youngin’ gladly climb his way down with a plop beside him.

“Can’t believe she tried to smash us like grapes…” Sneezy panted, sniffling.

“She fell~ Could hear her scream all the way down…” Bashful shivered. “She’s gone…”

“Fool- Good riddance~” Doc gave a curt nod. “Never mess with the likes of us, I say… Right, Grumpy?”

There was no response. There was no sign or sight of Grumpy… Not even close to them.

“Grumpy?” Doc began to feel frantic.

The others gasped.

“Thought he’d be~ He was at the top…” Sleepy uttered, sputtering.

“At the — No no, it can’t be… C-come on, come~!”

After hearing that terrible collision, Snow White could not bear it any longer and ran out into the rain, quick.

“Please, keep my friends safe — They are so kind and so good, please let no bad happen…” she prayed, tearfully aloud despite Happy’s protests.

“My lady! Princess! Please, come back~”

When they reached the bottom of the mountain side, Doc and Bashful returned up to the top where Grumpy was last seen, frightened that he may have taken the fall with the Hag as well. There was a small flat stone that they almost missed where a crimson tunic caught their gaze. Bashful gasped so loud that he had to cover his mouth to keep from crying out… “D-d-d-Doc?” he stammered… heartbreak was evident.

Doc was speechless when there, before them, was Grumpy, lain in the rain on that flat rock… as still as stone and doused. His cap was gone, he was so laxed with a sort of rare, cold calm over his face… it was enough to chill the two down to their core.

“Grumpy!” Doc sobbed, immediately jumping down to his side. “… grumpy?” he softened then, gently nudging Grumpy’s shoulders. With care too… because there was a deep cut that he could see now that he was close… on Grumpy’s right arm. “It’s me, Grumpy… please, speak to me…” Doc trembled. 

It was like a spring song to them when Grumpy’s face soon tensed up after an eternal minute, and moaned~ waking up to one of the worst headaches known.

“y’mind? Ah~ stop pettin’ me. I ain’t a shot doe…” he weakly snapped at Doc.

“… you kinda look like one…” Bashful laughed through his tears.

Grumpy sharply winked as he tried to rise up, against their wishes.

“Ray - I mean stay down, stay down, you took quite the blow from that boulder.” Doc advised.

“I can talk, can’t I? And-and Snow… Snow White. Is-is she?”

“She’s all right~ Safe a-and - and sound. Thanks to you.”

Upon hearing that, Grumpy’s knees buckled and he had to lean down again, clutching his right arm, tight. “…a fine kettle of fish~!”

“Just sit down, you warthog.” Doc scoffed. “Bashful… Go and fetch the men. Tell em’ all’s well. Might need some help to get down.”

Snow White was relieved to have four of the Seven Dwarfs all come to her side, all shocked and tired, of course. Three were missing… 

“Where are they? What’s happened to them…?” she asked, emotional.

“That old witch is gone, good lady~ She took a long fall…”

“… Grumpy. He knew something would go wrong today.” she feared.

“Sure glad he stayed behind… If somethin’ to ya, we~ we wouldn’t know what to do. We all love ya.” Sneezy got all misty as he spoke, rubbing his eyes. Dopey tried to hug him only to get batted away. “Oh stop it, it’s just my hayfever!”

“I prayed for all of you yesterday… that you’ve been so kind to me. And it all came true… All of you are the best I’ve ever had.”

One appeared from above, climbing down with care and haste that sent chills of anticipation to the group. It did not look good…

“Bashful! Doc and Grumpy… where are they?” Happy worried.

“At the top! Grumpy got hit somethin’ fierce, but he roused up.” Bashful explained, and the Princess shuddered. “He got hurt mighty bad~ We need some help to get him down…”

“This is my specialty~!” Happy piped up, determined. “Lead me to ‘em!” 

“Oh! Oh Grumpy! Do be careful, please!” Snow White stammered.

She did not dare to go back to the cottage just yet because she had to be sure all of the Dwarfs were back, safe. Her little warm heart calmed when she saw Happy and Doc help Grumpy down to them… She ran to him as he was helped down and took her own red cloak off and covered him with it.

“… I- - don’t~ don’t cover me with that~” he tried to retort, but he was too weak to press it again. “ — f’rget it…”

“You are cold as ice…” her sweet voice was an honest relief. “… you saved me, Grumpy…”

“Told ya to stay inside the house. ‘Course y’didn’t~fine by me…”

“… you did promise me you will come back. I wanted to make sure you did.”

“Well. Aye, I ain’t agin that…” Grumpy’s voice laxed more, as he felt warm in her embrace with his fellows gathered around him.

He felt a strange dizziness as his arm sharpened with a stabbing pain — Dizzy and worn, Grumpy rested in the Princess’s warm, gentle arms. Everyone’s voices faded from him, as did the thunder. 

Inside the dry, warm cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, with the Wicked Queen gone and done for… there was a quiet that came over the sweet little home in the Glen. There, the Princess Snow White took it on herself to stay at her friend’s side as he regained his strength, along with the six other little men who sought it important to keep sharp guard over the Glen. Never had there ever been a safer place since…

Hi Guys,

Tonight Fangirl Reviews review the Disney Original Snow White movie here. https://youtu.be/yZGk5-BJPQw via YouTube

The Evil Queen from Snow White 1937?

Hi there, sweetie! I really hope you like this a lot!

The Evil Queen's MBTI Type, Big Three and Enneagram Type

MBTI Type: INTJ [The Architect]

INTJs like to have time alone to recharge and think introspectively.

They tend to listen to their strong intuition and love to see how everything connects together. They are focused on the bigger picture and may overlook small details.

Architects are very logical and rational. They base decisions on what makes sense and might have a harder time connecting emotionally.

They are organized and prefer following a plan. They love to set and achieve goals. 

Big Three: Virgo Sun, Aquarius Moon and Capricorn Rising

Virgo Sun: Governed by communication planet Mercury, Virgos are the thinkers of the zodiac. Virgos process information with diligence and use facts to solve problems. 

Aquarius Moon: Logic or emotion? Why not both. The Aquarius Moon integrates logic with sentimentality in order to attain a deep understanding of their inner lives.

Capricorn Rising: Capricorn ascendants are known for their efforts and diligence when it comes to attaining success and prosperity. 

Enneagram Type: 3w4 [The Expert]

Basic Fear: Enneagram type threes with a four wing are afraid of failure. They tend to throw themselves into their careers and do anything it takes to succeed.

Basic Desire: Their most basic desire is to succeed and feel valued. They may show this by seeking validation of their hard work and successes.

Experts defend themselves by adapting or changing their personalities to fit their environment. This makes them great communicators, but may also lead them to being misunderstood or feeling fraudulent.

[artist-issues]

I love the comments and defense of the original Snow White but some people are not taking the defensive position that I would take, all things considered.

I mean, asking the question “since when is it bad to wish for love?” is one thing, but then sometimes people follow it up with, “and that’s not all she wanted! That’s not her main goal!”

Okay I appreciate you but yes it was. Let’s just call it like it is. And then don’t back down. Hear me out.

The first thing you learn about Snow-White is from that pretty opening-fairy-tale-book page, where it points out two characters: the wicked and vain stepmother who is afraid of Snow White and dresses her in rags to cover up her beauty, and uses her as a scullery maid—and Snow White herself, who is…well, used as a scullery maid.

Treated as a servant, and actively hated by the only family she has. And she’s a child. She hasn’t been alive very long to experience anything other than hatred and jealousy toward herself.

She’s even talking to birds, and the fact that they’re clustered around her from beginning to end of that opening scene indicates that they’re very comfortable with her and she talks to them all the time—because they’re the only positive interaction she gets to have.

That’s the situation that Snow White is in. But the first thing you learn about who she is and what she wants comes when she wishes in the well. And what’s she wishing for?

Love. The one she loves. A specific, male figure, who will say nice things to her and find her. She wants him to come quick. Why?

How silly. How vapid and shallow of her. How weak and one-dimensional. Please, goodness, can’t someone update her to have some depth?

NO. She is a young woman who is not given any love and is treated like a horrible nuisance who must be covered up in dirt and rags. She has no friends except birds, who can’t talk back. She is actively hated by the closest person to her.

It’s a miracle she even knows the word “love” and has the strength of character to believe in it after the situation she’s grown up in.

The song very specifically says “I’m wishing…for the one I love…to find me…today. I’m hoping…and I’m dreaming of…the nice things…he’ll say.”

She wants to be loved because she isn’t loved. Geez, she wants someone to say nice things to her. She wants to give her own love because she doesn’t have anything but courtyard doves to befriend. Of course it’s her goal. Of course it’s her wish. What wish or goal could be higher? And what wish or goal could be more natural for a character in her situation?

And even more than that, what could be stronger than believing that it will happen? This character who’s been unloved and mistreated by everyone takes a Prince at his word when he says he’ll give her that love. He promises it, and she believes him.

She has every opportunity and right to be bitter, hardened, anti-social, self-absorbed (pre-Huntsman and Dwarfs, she could very easily believe that nobody else is going to watch out for her except herself) and jaded. But instead she has this pure faith, which it takes a lot to maintain when everything has been ripped away from you. She could’ve been totally swamped by doubt and bitterness.

I mean, she could worry that the Prince won’t be able to convince her Stepmother to let him marry her.

Then when she gets chased into the woods for her life, she could fret that the Prince wouldn’t know how to find her.

Heck, she could just forget about him, give up, and say, “this is my life now, I’m living with these seven dwarfs and we’ll take care of each other, I guess that’s the most I can hope for.”

But no. She has faith in his promise, and hangs on to her dream, and sings, with total assurance, “Someday My Prince Will Come.” I mean, she won’t even let a moment of panic in the woods go by without reprimanding herself for losing that faith, for a second.

Can any of you say the same? Can any of you imagine being that kind of person: the kind of person who unashamedly wants to love and be loved in return, and when everything is stripped away and every chance at that taken from you, you hang on and believe anyway? You stay positive and even joyful anyway? For love?

Come on. Defend that. Yes, her goal was “just” to be loved. And to love in return. The fear of having her life taken from her, the necessity (not the desire for) freedoms from that, was just an obstacle in the way of being loved. And this isn’t a movie about Snow White’s natural reaction to abuse. It’s about her strength of faith in love in SPITE of that abuse. The spotlight is on her strength, not her weakness, but it’s strength of faith in love.

Anyway.

If you believe that it’s good and fine for a girl’s whole goal and fondest dream is to be loved, then don’t stand with one foot in that camp and another in the camp that says “girls want more than just love.” No, what? Love is the best thing a girl can want. I’m not talking about “romance.” I’m not talking about sex. I’m talking about pure, self-sacrificial, kind love. It’s the best thing they can want, and Snow White is one of the only characters who does want it unashamedly, uncomplicated.

Just defend that. Don’t try to argue that the “Someday My Prince Will Come” Princess isn’t wholeheartedly after love. Makes it look like you don’t believe that’s as wonderful as it is.

Watching the animated Snow White was what started me off drawing when I was little, so I'm highly anticipating this live action adaptation to see how they'll re-invision her story. Rachel Zegler, please take care of her! 🍎
