Line #55 YMMV/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs


1	* AccidentalInnuendo:
2	** When the dwarfs meet Snow White for the first time, Grumpy tells Doc to "Ask her who she is and what she's a-doin' here!" Given his tendency to get words mixed up, Doc comes out with "[[{{Malaproper}} What are you and]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything who are you doin'?]]".
3	** That turtle during "Whistle While You Work" looks like he's enjoying the chipmunk scrubbing close to his crotch area a little ''too'' much.
4	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
5	** Snow White, depending on how she's viewed, is either a naïve teenage girl in over her head who made understandable mistakes, [[StupidGood way too polite and altruistic for her own good]] or just plain TooDumbToLive. Alternatively, she could be read [[DiagnosedByTheAudience as being somewhere on the autism spectrum]].
6	** Dopey might be an IdiotSavant or a GeniusDitz, having difficulty in doing simple things but being a vastly accomplished musician.
7	** Humbert's objection to killing Snow White may have an additional reason. Snow White is, by all appearances, the late king's only child and Grimhilde has no children of her own, it seems. If Humbert had killed Snow White there would have been a possibility of a {{succession crisis}}.
8	** Did Snow White and the Prince really have a case of LoveAtFirstSight? Or did they know each other before?
9	** Snow White was abused by her step-mother and nearly murdered by her, all before she's even fifteen. Is she ThePollyanna or a StepfordSmiler? Even Disney has toyed with this, such as in the ''Literature/ATaleOf'' books where she's shown having nightmares about her past into adulthood but prefers to hide her anguish.
10	** The Evil Queen has been subject to a lot of this due to her MysteriousPast and her evilness. Is she just naturally a murderous narcissist or did something in her past make her that way? Did the king's assumed death have anything to do with it? Was she always a WickedStepmother, or was she a GoodStepmother at one point? The ''Literature/ATaleOf'' books are an official, AlternateContinuity Disney work that explores these questions.
11	** The Queen becomes much hammier and crazier when she disguises herself as a hag. Did the transformation also affect her personality, or did she just feel free to cut loose and drop a persona she adopted now that nobody could recognize her? The Blog/UnshavedMouse interpreted this scene as "darkly liberating" for her. Now no longer having to worry about her appearance, it could even be compared to Elsa's "Let It Go" moment in ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' (which was originally a VillainSong).
12	* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Disney had to fight to get the film produced. Both his brother and business partner Roy Disney and his wife Lillian attempted to talk him out of it, telling him that "nobody wants to watch a movie about dwarfs." And the Hollywood movie industry referred to the film derisively as "Disney's Folly" while it was in production. There were plenty of reasons to scoff: At the time, dwarfs were mostly associated with carnival freakshows, the only other feature-length animated film ever made (a German production) had been a tremendous flop, and ''Snow White'' was monstrously expensive – the film's cost overran the expected budget by ''400%'' and production incurred debts that were, at the time, higher than the total value of Disney's studio.
13	* AwardSnub: Much to Walt's ire, he was awarded with an Honorary Oscar for this film, instead of the Best Picture award he coveted. After all it was ground-breaking for its time and became the highest-grossing picture for a time (before being dethroned by ''Film/GoneWithTheWind''). This would be the first of [[AnimationAgeGhetto several animated films]] to not reach the Best Picture award. At least that honorary Oscar is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-xJx7KJI2c most distinctively designed one in the Academy's history]]. Also, none of the songs were nominated.
14	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Every song in the movie counts, but "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0niwn2pOEno Some Day My Prince Will Come]]" is a standout. It's impossible not to get chills when the melody kicks in as Snow White wakes up at the end.
15	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Snow White is either seen as an adorable [[TheIngenue Ingenue]] hailed for her [[AllLovingHero loving heart]] and [[PurityPersonified ability to stay positive through the tough times]], or an unremarkable VanillaProtagonist panned for her [[SweetnessAversion overly cutesy nature]] and [[UnintentionalUncannyValley out-of-place]] {{Rotoscop\|ing}}ed design. There's also the matter of Creator/AdrianaCaselotti's voice; some find it too cloying and annoying, but others find it sweet. Ironically enough, when Snow White appeared at the 1993 Academy Awards, her voice was deemed too old and out of place, and some lament that Disney could've had Caselotti reprise her role instead as people have been more accustomed to the squeaky, Minnie Mouse-esque opera actress voice Snow is known for. Granted, it could be HandWaved that Snow isn't "getting any younger" in her own words hence the more mature voice, but more than enough people have seen the film to know it doesn't quite work for her.
16	* CatharsisFactor: It's nothing but insanely therapeutic--even if also nightmare-inducing--[[spoiler:when the Queen/Witch plummets off the cliff screaming when lightning strikes while she stands in the midst of trying to crush the Dwarfs with the boulder. The boulder rolling down right after her is also a great touch. She's not the first Disney Villain for nothing and not getting the signature DisneyVillainDeath for nothing either certainly, especially considering what a [[CompleteMonster monstrously evil]] person she is]].
17	* CommonKnowledge:
18	** Snow White and The Prince are both assumed to be 14 and 31, respectively, which tends to be a source of controversy (for [[ValuesDissonance obvious]] [[PaedoHunt reasons]]). However, Disney has never [[VagueAge officially stated their ages]]. One early outline from when production started did list Snow White's age as 14 and the Prince's age as 18.[[note]]An internal training film for Disney Parks cast members also states Snow's age as 14[[/note]] However, given that the same outline describes the Prince to be a "[[Creator/DouglasFairbanks Doug Fairbanks]] type" (which is [[WhatCouldHaveBeen not reflected in his final design]]), it's unlikely this applies to them in the finished product.
19	** The famous "Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" regularly turns up in lists of famous movie misquotes, but this would only apply to those who specifically reference that line as coming from the animated film (in which case, it counts as being an actual misquote). However, if the line is used without attributing it to a specific source, this could just as well be a reference to the original Grimm fairy tale - in which case it's closer to the line as written - depending on the edition or version of the story consulted (technically, BOTH versions are misquotes, as the earliest version was "Looking-glass, looking glass, on the wall, who in this land is the fairest of all?").
20	* CompleteMonster: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen The Evil Queen]] is the very first Disney feature-length villain and one of the most wicked of them all. The WickedStepmother of Snow White, the [[VainSorceress Queen]] forces her to work as a scullery maid in vain envy of Snow White's beauty, and when her MagicMirror informs her Snow White is a rival to her title as "fairest in the land", the Queen opts to have Snow White killed. Initially, she sends a huntsman to kill her and carve out her heart under penalty of the huntsman's own death, and when this fails, the Queen turns herself into an [[WickedWitch old hag]] so she can trick Snow White into eating a [[TemptingApple poisoned apple]], all to curse Snow White with the "Sleeping Death" and trick the seven dwarfs into [[BuriedAlive burying her alive]]. [[TheDreaded Hated and feared across the land she rules over]], the Queen has no problem with attempting to flatten the dwarfs themselves when they get in her way, and has a dungeon stocked with the bones of her previous victims, among them one poor soul who perished clawing for a jug of water placed just out of reach.
21	* CreepyAwesome: The MagicMirror's sinister, menacing design has become [[FountainOfExpies the default source of inspiration]] for all examples to follow, largely because of how striking it is.
22	* CrossesTheLineTwice: The skeleton reaching for a pail of water to which the Queen asks 'Thirsty?' Cringe. The Queen kicking the pail into the skeleton immediately afterwards while shrieking 'Have a drink'? Hilarious!
23	* DracoInLeatherPants: The Queen is getting this due to [[http://its-bewitched.tumblr.com/post/166285751096/celticpyro-cracked-disney-clearly-is-a "progressive" readings]] that try to blame her murderous grudge against her stepdaughter solely on the MagicMirror and ValuesDissonance. In reality, the Mirror ''never'' told Grimhilde to kill Snow White, in order to become the fairest one in the land again, plus [[AdaptationalVillainy in this particular version]] [[ResentfulGuardian she]] forced Snow [[FallenPrincess to be a servant girl]] ''[[FallenPrincess in a palace where she had all the right to live comfortably in]]'', [[EvilisPetty solely out of pettiness.]] Even if "Fairest of All" is included in the canon, it's not exactly enough to sweep her enormous abuse of an innocent teenage girl under the rug.
24	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
25	** The monstrous trees Snow White sees during her escape in the woods are still remembered as some of the scariest Disney characters ever created despite them being just hallucinations and thus not even real monsters.
26	** The Magic Mirror only has two scenes, but it is extremely popular, being used in a lot of Disney media.
27	* EvilIsCool: The Queen is of one the film's main highlights with her cunning scheming, powerful sorcery and [[EvilIsHammy crazy hamminess in the second half]].
28	* FairForItsDay: The film is routinely criticized for its lack of depth in the romance. But when the film was made, it was an ''improvement'' over the original fairy tale-where the prince only comes in as a DeusExMachina at the end. At least here the prince appears much earlier in the story and has some reason to look for Snow White. He was meant to have a larger role in the film (being tormented by the Queen) but the Disney animators weren't good at drawing a convincing human male yet (they reused several of their ideas for Snow White's Prince by the time WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty rolled around, giving Phillip a large role in that film).
29	* FirstInstallmentWins:
30	** While later films in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon have been more critically and financially successful, none of them have had the same impact and influence on the animation industry as this film did (and possibly never will). Even years later, the film is still regarded by many as ''the'' quintessential Disney movie and it continues to top many "best Disney films" lists to this very day.
31	** It also counts amongst the Creator/WaltDisney-era films. While many of his later films would become classics in their own right, none of them have reached the level of critical acclaim and financial success that ''Snow White'' did at the time, much to Walt Disney's chagrin.
32	* GeniusBonus: When the Dwarfs forcibly wash Grumpy and put a ring of flowers on his head, Sneezy comments that he smells like a petunia. In botany, petunias symbolize anger and resentment, {{meaningful\|Name}} if your name happens to be Grumpy.
33	* GenreTurningPoint: Up until this film, cartoons were seen as a novelty, not serious works of art or entertainment. The idea that audiences would sit through a feature-length cartoon was considered absurd. This film ''proved'' that feature-length animation was viable and that they could easily compete with live-action films.
34	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
35	** In a rather unfortunate literal case of this, this film was beloved in Nazi Germany (the [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} next time]] Disney would have a movie ready for international distribution, Europe was kind in the middle of a [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII huge war]], so it was more well known in Allied Countries at the time). Even UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler was a fan, as he occasionally doodled fan art of the dwarves during war meetings.
36	** ''Snow White'' is also the second most popular Disney Princess in Japan, only beaten by Ariel, to the point where most Japanese works portraying her draw influence from Disney's adaptation of the story, just like in its' homeland of the United States. This may be because Snow White’s distinguishing features -- [[RavenHairIvorySkin her black hair and pale skin]] -- are considered hallmarks of traditional Japanese beauty.
37	* GrowingTheBeard: This marks Disney's change from whimsical cartoons to the full-length, animated film genre capable of telling longer, more complex stories, and the animation quality is a [[ArtEvolution drastic improvement]] over the previous cartoon shorts.
38	* HarsherInHindsight:
39	** Snow White wonders if the seven "children" don't know how to clean because they don't have a mother and are orphans. While saying how awful that would be, a fawn nuzzles its mother. This was four films before ''{{WesternAnimation/Bambi}}'' and before he loses his mother.
40	** The Evil Queen's face is modeled after Creator/JoanCrawford. If one is to believe ''Literature/MommieDearest'', which was about the experiences of a child living with a vain, abusive mother with a high status, then the resemblance is quite striking.
41	* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Grumpy’s original voice actor was Pinto Colvig, as in the original voice of WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}. During the big TearJerker scene where the dwarfs mourn for Snow White’s apparent death, Grumpy not only weeps, he audibly sobs. You heard that right, the original voice of Goofy managed to weep convincingly. Before that, when the dwarfs realize Snow White is in danger, his panicked "The Queen'll kill her! We gotta save her!" and his fiercely growled "Come on!" when he leads the charge also stand out.
42	* HilariousInHindsight:
43	** There are references to other Grimm fairy tales throughout the film. Initially, Snow White is forced to wear rags and work as a scullery maid, like Cinderella, and in case you overlooked the reference, she even has a flock of doves helping her like in the Grimm version. Later, the Prince awakens Snow White with a kiss, which was borrowed from the Grimms' retelling of Sleeping Beauty, as in the original Snow White merely coughs up the apple. ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' were respectively the next fairy tales Disney would adapt into animated features (and all three were the only fairy tale films Walt himself was still alive to work on).
44	** When the Seven Dwarfs first see that someone's in their cottage, they exclaim, "[[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy Crickets!]]" This was actually a common GoshDangItToHeck version of "[[Literature/TheBible Jesus Christ!]]" for the time (Even Film/TheWizardOfOz startled Dorothy into uttering it at one point), which led to Disney using it as the name for [[TheConscience the cricket]].
45	** The Prince looks strikingly similar to one of Music/{{Kraftwerk}}'s robot alter egos.
46	* HollywoodHomely: Many who watch the movie disagree with the Magic Mirror and think that the Queen is much fairer than Snow White. It was even referenced in ''Film/AnnieHall''.
47	* HoYay: The seven dwarves are the source of this in the film even though a lot of them showed attraction to Snow White. First off they all live together in a cottage. All of their name carved beds except Doc's are closer to each other than they should be. The dwarves also bathe together (albeit with their clothes on). Doc and Grumpy also bicker LikeAnOldMarriedCouple sometimes, especially in a deleted scene.
48	* HypeBacklash: While still a respected and beloved film, it gets this for all of Disney's touting it as "the one that started it all." A lot of this is down to OnceOriginalNowCommon too - with Disney perfecting their output since the 1930s.
49	* ImprovedSecondAttempt: One of the most common criticisms from fans and critics is how underdeveloped the romance between Snow White and the Prince is, with the two only interacting once before hooking up at the very end. The 2019 comic adaptation addresses this issue by fleshing out both characters greatly, on top of adding [[AdaptationExpansion new scenes]] that are dedicated to the two interacting with each other, giving the romance more substance compared to the original film.
50	* IronWoobie: Snow White has had a tough life. She's been treated terribly by her stepmother, almost killed by a huntsman and is sent away into the forest, where she's lost and scared. Yet her spirit and tenacity are incredible.
51	* LoveToHate: If the dwarfs didn't steal the show, then the Queen in all her evil hamminess did, especially in her hag form.
52	* MemeticLoser: Thanks to the low amount of characterization compared to future Disney films, both Snow White and her Prince have the stigma of being boring and bland. Snow is also seen as TooDumbToLive and weak by many. And while the creators at Disney ''wanted'' to do more with the Prince, they didn't have much experience drawing male human characters at the time, and the other characters were already taxing enough for them to do.
53	* MemeticMutation: In the 2010s, the Evil Queen became a veritable FountainOfMemes on Website/{{Twitter}} and Website/{{Tumblr}}, where images of her (in witch mode) were increasingly being shared as relatable memes. [[http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa40/obeset/111302-Snow-White-evil-queen-laughing-cFPy_zpsp4l8otzx.gif Gifs of the Queen lowering herself into the hatch to her dungeons]] became especially popular.
54	** There's also the long-standing joke that Snow White herself ReallyGetsAround, thanks to her living with seven men. While very few people (if any) actually believe that, the character was bound to become the subject of such a joke in the age of computers, internet, and shock-value humor.
55	* MisaimedFandom: Many people complain that Snow White is considered more beautiful than the queen, when they consider that it is the other way around, this ignores that Snow White's beauty is not only for physical appearance, since her inner goodness makes her beautiful, while the evil of the queen makes her ugly (At the beginning metaphorically, and at the end literally)
56	* {{Moe}}:
57	** Snow White is very sweet and innocent, and her cuteness is purposefully emphasized nowadays in contrast to some of the more elegant or tough princesses.
58	** Dopey is CuteMute, younger and more naive than the other dwarfs, and has InnocentBlueEyes.
59	* MoralEventHorizon:
60	** The Queen definitely crosses it: She wants to kill an innocent girl (who is probably 16 or less[[note]]The Franchise/DisneyPrincess material states that she is the youngest Princess, at 14[[/note]]), and for what?!? [[EvilIsPetty Just because she's more beautiful than her]]. And if that's not enough, she plans to poison her with the Poisoned Apple making her fall into the Sleeping Death hoping the dwarves [[AFateWorseThanDeath will bury her alive]].
61	** And it was also originally planned that she tried to force the Prince - the guy who loved Snow and who Snow pined after - to marry her. And when he refused, she would try to drown him in the dungeon.
62	** The Queen crossed it long ago when she hired a huntsman to try and kill Snow White. How? Because she tells the hunter that in order to make sure Snow White's dead, she asks him to ''cut her heart out and put it in a box to present her with''! And remember - this is her ''stepdaughter'' we're talking about.
63	*** Could have been even worse. In the original fairy tale she [[ImAHumanitarian salts and eats the heart]].
64	*** In the earliest versions of the tale, she was actually the original ''biological mother'' of Snow White.
65	* {{Narm}}: The [[http://www.impawards.com/1937/snow_white_and_the_seven_dwarfs_ver3.html poster]] used to promote the 1975 and 1983 re-releases seems to show Snow White singing to some bluebirds, but some might think it looks more like her screaming at the not-that-scary sight of them.
66	* OlderThanTheyThink:
67	** This was '''not''' the first animated feature film, as many people are led to believe; that title goes to the [[MissingEpisode lost]] Argentinian political satire ''El Apóstol'', made in 1917 by Quirino Cristiani and the oldest surviving animated film is The Adventures of Prince Achmed, made in 1926; predating ''Snow White'' by over a decade. ''Snow White'' was, however, the first '''cel-animated''' feature film, which utterly dominated animation then and for decades afterwards.
68	** Possibly unintentionally, a couple of the elements different from the Grimms' story can be found in Creator/AlexanderPushkin's ''The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights''. These include the prince appearing earlier (in the poem, he is actually her fiancee, and the main plot kicks off the day before they are to marry), Snow White cleaning the cottage when she finds it (unlike in the Grimms' version where she eats and drinks from the dwarfs' table, a la [[Literature/GoldilocksAndTheThreeBears Goldilocks]]), the poisoned apple being the queen's only deadly gift to Snow White (omitting the too-tight bodice and poisoned comb), and the queen's death being unintentional (she [[DeathByDespair falls over dead]] as soon as she sees the princess alive again).
69	* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Oh boy, where to start? One can convincingly make the argument that this film suffers from this phenomenon more than any other. Here are a few reasons:
70	** First off, virtually any scene of significance in this movie has been copied, homaged, parodied and ripped off incessantly for over ''80 years''. Best advice to parents is to show it to the kids quickly.
71	** Also, modern audiences, mostly parent groups and younger people, see this as "just another sappy Franchise/DisneyPrincess film". Some of the more knowledgeable might also criticize its rather [[OlderThanTheyThink erroneous status as the first-ever animated feature]]. While these criticism aren't ''[[BrutalHonesty entirely]]'' wrong, what they fail to realize is not just how groundbreaking it was in its own right [[note]]it was still the first '''hand-drawn''' animated feature[[/note]] but also just how incredibly ''ambitious'' of a project it was when announced. To put things into perspective: At the time, Disney was not even big enough to be considered part of "Poverty Row" or the "Little Three" - movie studios controlled distribution, and ''actors''. This movie was made by ''none'' of Hollywood's studios, and did not employ their stars - at the time, something like that was unheard of. It was called "Disney's Folly" for a ''reason''.
72	** In addition, fans of ''Franchise/DisneyPrincess'' films often find this film boring and bland compared to future films, completely ignoring that the franchise had to have started somewhere and this movie was that start.
73	** Lastly, Snow White's animation is often considered to put her in the UnintentionalUncannyValley thanks to rotoscoping and occasionally going OffModel. However, at the time, she was a huge leap forward in human animation; the artists took regular classes and studied live action films to properly nail how people moved. She was a massive improvement compared to Proserpina in ''WesternAnimation/TheGoddessOfSpring''.
74	* OneSceneWonder: The tree hallucination. It only lasts for one scene, but it's one of the most remembered scary moments from Disney's library.
75	* SignatureScene:
76	** The dwarves singing "Heigh-Ho" as they march home. The song has become one of Disney's most beloved songs and the scene that accompanies it appears in many trailers for the film.
77	** The Queen's transformation into the Old Hag. One of Disney's most well-known villain transformation sequences thanks to showing the Queen's willingness to make herself ugly, just to get rid of one girl.
78	** The dark forest run. This scene is highly remembered thanks to its scare factor from the hallucinated monster trees and poor Snow's terrified reactions.
79	** The very opening of the film, where the Evil Queen consults the Magic Mirror.
80	** The dwarfs [[EverybodyCries crying]] around Snow White's bier as she lies [[DisneyDeath seemingly dead]] from the poisoned apple. One of the first genuine TearJerker scenes in animation.
81	* {{Squick}}: Sneezy's deleted line in "The Silly Song" where he mentions that after he was born, he used his whiskers as a "didee"[[note]](diaper)[[/note]]. The effect is somewhat lessened by him [[SneezeInterruption sneezing while delivering the line]], but it's still unsanitary. Presumably this is why it was deleted.
82	* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing:
83	** A Finnish blog describes the second Finnish dub of the film from the 1980s as this compared to the third and newest Finnish dub made in 1994 (which can be found on the DVD). The blog describes the Finnish 1980s dub being more poetic and stylish than the Finnish dub from 1994, which concentrated too much in sounding as similar as possible with the original English version. The blog states that in the Finnish 1980s dub Snow White didn't have a voice as squeaky and high-pitched as in the English version but rather a youthful, motherly voice. The Evil Queen is described as having a voice that sounded realistically insane and bloodcurdling. The blog also criticizes the newer Finnish dub from 1994 for being way too subtle voice-acting and having ridiculous dialogue in some parts. Sadly, the Finnish dub from the 1980s remains mostly lost.
84	** The film's original Swedish dub from 1938 is considered to be this, in no small part thanks to Snow White's voice actor, Tatiana Angelini. Picked after the dub's director, Per-Axel Branner had asked her to sing during a visit to her family, her performance brought out Snow White's young, kind-hearted yet naive personality and with a beautiful, majestic singing voice, helped by the fact that her father was a singing teacher. Famously, Walt himself said that she was his personal favorite voice actor for the character, and based on statements made by Olof Thunberg, Grumpy's voice actor in the Swedish redub from 1982 and the director of WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp's original Swedish dub from 1955, made him get a strong interest in specifically Swedish localisations of the company's films.
85	* SweetnessAversion: Snow White. Many people find her exaggerated {{Moe}} traits and sickeningly sweet attitude insufferable.
86	* TearDryer: Snow White has fallen into a deep sleep because of a poisoned apple. The dwarfs, believing her to be dead, gather around her and [[EverybodyCries mourn over her]]. Then the prince from the beginning of the movie comes in and [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kisses her]], which [[DisneyDeath wakes her up]], and everyone celebrates.
87	* TaintedByThePreview: The live-Action movie was met with massive backlash for the many changes in the movie.
88	* ToughActToFollow:
89	** Very few of the animated films made during Walt's lifetime were as successful.
90	** The ''Snow White'' 2001 Platinum Edition DVD both kicked off one of Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo's most elite collections, and marked the first 2-Disc DVD of one of Walt's movies. Its [[http://filmic-light.blogspot.com/2010/10/2001-snow-white-home-video-platinum.html "immersive" bonus features platter]] proved so comprehensive, that very few other Disney [=DVDs=] could compare; even ''Snow White'''s re-releases pale when fans lament that Disney replaced too many of the best Platinum Edition extras with filler[[note]]or nothing, for the VanillaEdition Diamond/Signature [=DVDs=][[/note]].
91	* UglyCute: The dwarfs aren't exactly lookers, but they're just so genial, charming, and eager to please that it's hard not to love them.
92	* UnintentionalUncannyValley: ''Even back then'', everyone loved the cartoony dwarfs and noted how stiff and wooden looking the rotoscoped human characters were. At least the Queen's uncanniness works in her favor since it highlights why she is not the "fairest in the land" despite her beauty.
93	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The animation and visuals have aged quite well for a movie made in the ''late 1930s''.
94	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Possibly the UrExample. In fact, Walt ''never'' intended "Disney" to become synonymous with being kid-friendly (family-friendly, yes, but not kid-friendly. "Family-friendly" implies that it's adult, but still respects its child audience by not going too far). Animation was just easier for all the detail he wanted to include in the story. Incidentally, the film was originally approved for mature audiences in the UK (and effectively rated R in some locations in the country, as in minors who wanted to see the film had to be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian) because of the scare factor.

Context YMMV / SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs
