Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated film produced
by Walt Disney and
released by RKO Radio
Pictures. Based on the German fairy tale by
the Brothers
Grimm, it is the first full-length cel animated feature film in history,
the first produced in full color, the first to be produced by Walt Disney
Productions, and the first in the Walt Disney
Animated Classics series. The story was adapted by storyboard artists
Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto
Englander, Earl Hurd,
Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and
Webb Smith. David Hand was the supervising director, while William
Cottrell, Wilfred
Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, and Ben Sharpsteen directed
the film's individual sequences.
Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs premiered at the Carthay
Circle Theatre on December 21, 1937, followed by a nationwide
release on February 4, 1938. It went on to gross a total of $8 million in
international receipts in its opening release. The film was added to the United
States National Film
Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, or
aesthetically significant" in 1989. It was one of two animated films to
rank in the American Film
Institute's list of the
100 greatest American films of all time in 1997 (the other
being Disney's Fantasia),
ranking number 49. It reached number 34 in the list's 2007 revision,
this time being the only traditionally-animated film on the list. The AFI named
the film as the greatest
American animated film of all time in 2008.
