Another obstacle was ensuring that the body language, implied physics and facial gestures of the film's animated characters could compete with the expressiveness of live-action actors. Despite the substantial innovations of animators such as Norm Ferguson, even the best Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse cartoons of the early 1930s continued to suffer from rigid, slow-paced motion and a lack of facial construction. As a result, life-drawing classes and frame-by-frame studying of live-action film took place, in an ambitious attempt to get the most life-like animation possible. The breakout of two significant talents circa 1933 further aided Disney's ambitions. Fred Moore, assigned the opening sequence of the Silly Symphony ''The Three Little Pigs'', conceived an animation principle later dubbed "squash-and-stretch", in which characters' bodies distort and compress in space while retaining a consistent mass, thus opening Disney's output to more plausible and expressive modes of movement and visual characterization. Albert Hurter, meanwhile, was promoted to a concept artist, enabling the studio to shed the crude black-and-white rubberhose designs indigenous to contemporary animation in favor of a more expressive and elaborate aesthetic resembling Germanic storybook illustrations. Both men's talents would prove instrumental to ''Snow White'' (with Moore in particular designing and animating many of the titular dwarves). The Silly Symphonies began to be used as testing grounds for the work that would go into Snow White -- from advancements in story and character animation to major special effects discoveries. The studio also had to expand considerably to complete the film -- from a measly few hundred to nearly 1000 staffers by the film's completion. At one point, Walt almost ran out of money during production and was lucky enough to receive a bank loan by showing what footage had already been finished. During production, the film was derided by critics, as well as Walt's own wife, as "Disney's Folly", the notion that Walt had gone over his head with this project. But upon debut, Snow White was a smash hit -- at the time, it was the highest grossing film of all time, and was universally praised by critics, setting the stage for the future Disney films to come, and proving that animation could compete with live-action films.

Part of the reason Snow White was made was for the purpose of economics -- despite the ambitious art and extreme popularity of the WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse and WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies shorts, Walt came to realize that no matter how successful his shorts were, they only earned a fixed revenue from their screenings, regardless of their popularity. Realizing that venturing out into making a feature-length animated film could not only net him more profit in the long run, but also progress the medium of animation as an art form, he began work on his daring project. Around four years were spent by Disney trying to get this mammoth project off the ground -- first, there was the obsessive attention to the story -- Walt had the savvy to realize that a feature that played out like a traditional short cartoon comedy would never work, resulting in a focus on the characters' personalities, their interactions, as well as their development in the context of the tale. The most prominent example of this character development would be the character of Grumpy, arguably the most important character in the film aside from Snow White herself.

Another obstacle was getting the animation to be on par with a live-action film -- even the best Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse cartoons during the early 1930s were still rigid and crude in their motion. As a result, life-drawing classes and frame-by-frame studying of live-action film took place, in an ambitious attempt to get the most life-like animation possible.

Creator/WaltDisney made "Literature/SnowWhite" into an animated movie in [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1937]], the first full-length animated feature film in the English-speaking world ("English-speaking" being an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animated_feature_films_before_1940 important disclaimer]], though it was at least definitely the first cel-animated one) and the first entry in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. Using a number of new technologies and animation techniques, the film set high standards for future projects and can be considered a defining moment in animation history. Disney adapted the story by Creator/TheBrothersGrimm fairly closely, but allowed Snow White and her prince to meet earlier in the story (removing some of the {{Squick}}), and made the dwarfs into individual characters. He condensed the three assassination attempts into one and gave the queen a much more family-friendly DisneyVillainDeath (though, all things considered, it's arguably ''more'' violent than the original one.)

Creator/WaltDisney made "Literature/SnowWhite" into an animated movie in [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1937]], the first full-length animated feature film in the English-speaking world ("English-speaking" being an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animated_feature_films_before_1940 important disclaimer]], though it was at least definitely the first cel-animated [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_animation cel-animated]] one) and the first entry in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. Using a number of new technologies and animation techniques, the film set high standards for future projects and can be considered a defining moment in animation history.
