👑 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) may be Disney’s first animated feature—but how does it hold up nearly 90 years later?
In this episode of Remakes, Reboots, and Revivals, we dig deep into the legacy of the original Snow White, unpacking its groundbreaking animation, dark fairytale roots, and very questionable messaging about women. From rotoscoping innovation to body image, from terrifying witches to a prince who kisses corpses—we cover it all.
We discuss: 🎨 The incredible artistry and why it still stuns today 🧙‍♀️ Why the Evil Queen is still more interesting than Snow White herself 👑 What the film says about femininity, vanity, and “true love” 🍎 Whether this was really made for children—or for their parents 📽️ Why this film helped define Disney… and may have limited animation ever since
This is Part 1 of our Snow White series, so stick with us as we explore the upcoming live-action remake and the future of Disney’s fairytale empire.
