Snow White keeps house for the dwarfs while they mine for jewels during the day and at night, they all sing, play music, and dance.īack at the castle, the Magic Mirror reveals that Snow White is still living, and with the dwarfs. Snow White introduces herself, and the dwarfs welcome her after she offers to clean and cook for them. Returning home, they are alarmed to find their cottage clean, and suspect that an intruder has invaded their home. Snow White soon learns that the cottage is the home of seven dwarfs named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey, who work in a nearby mine. With the animals' help, she proceeds to clean the place and cook a meal. Finding seven small chairs in the cottage's dining room, Snow White assumes the cottage is the untidy home of seven orphaned children. Lost and frightened, Snow White is befriended by woodland animals who lead her to a cottage deep in the woods. He then urges her to flee into the woods and never return. The Huntsman cannot bring himself to kill Snow White and reveals to her the Queen's plot. Angered, the Queen orders her Huntsman to take Snow White into the forest, kill her, and bring back her heart in a jeweled box. On that same day, the Magic Mirror informs the Queen that Snow White is now the fairest in all of the land. One day, Snow White meets and falls in love with a prince who overhears her singing. Fearing that Snow White's beauty will outshine her own, the Queen forces her to work as a scullery maid and asks her Magic Mirror (containing her familiar demon) daily "who is the fairest one of all." For years, the mirror always answers that the Queen is, pleasing her. Having lost both of her parents at a young age, Snow White is a princess living with her wicked and cold-hearted stepmother, the Queen. Disney's take on the fairy tale has had a significant cultural effect, resulting in popular theme park attractions, a video game, a Broadway musical, and an upcoming live-action film. The American Film Institute ranked it among the 100 greatest American films, and also named the film as the greatest American animated film of all time in 2008. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the National Film Registry. They were presented to Disney by Shirley Temple. This award was unique, consisting of one normal-sized, plus seven miniature Oscar statuettes. Snow White was nominated for Best Musical Score at the Academy Awards in 1938, and the next year, producer Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar for the film. Worldwide, its inflation-adjusted earnings top the animation list. Adjusted for inflation, it is one of the top-ten performers at the North American box office and the highest-grossing animated film. The popularity of the film has led to its being re-released theatrically many times, until its home video release in the 1990s. Despite initial doubts from the film industry, it was a critical and commercial success and, with international earnings of more than $8 million during its initial release (compared to its $1.5 million budget), it briefly held the record of highest-grossing sound film at the time. Snow White premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, California on December 21, 1937. The production was supervised by David Hand, and the film's sequences were directed by Perce Pearce, William Cottrell, Larry Morey, Wilfred Jackson, and Ben Sharpsteen. Based on the 1812 German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first full-length traditionally animated feature film and the first Disney animated feature film.
