last summer I got the idea to look through all the old Disney movies. project fell on I had someone who wanted to see them with me and to see the childhood nostalgia alone is just fun now and then. then came elli ...:)... so here is the first review in a long line of Disney feature films. just that, it is also the first review I have written with someone else, so what you read is both mine and ellis views.

those who do not know what Snow White is about has been living under a rock all their lives. well, to make the story short is snow white a princess who lives in the castle with her wicked step-mother to the queen. after the queen's magic mirror stubbornly refuses to say the queen is the most beautiful woman in the kingdom decides the Queen to receive his "rival", Snow White, murdered. when the killer is unable to carry out the deed Snow White flees into the forest where she soon hits in seven new, small, friends.
since this is Disney's first feature film, it has also undergone a lot of "improvements" over the years. so also in röstskådespeleriet which is a really mixed bag of original. Snow White is equipped with adriana caselottis extremely naive and squeaky voice which annoyed me and elli something enormously. simultaneously, all the dwarves really good voice actors, while the queen and the prince fall somewhere in between. it is rumored that the Swedish original spike would be Walt Disney's personal favorite, but how it is with the truth of that statement I do not know. what I do know is that the movie was dubbed the 1982 and it is the version we are children of 80 - numbers have grown up with. and for once I must admit, the new stud is better.
the script for Snow White is based of course on the Grimm's version of the classic tale. there are differences, but the basic story is roughly the same. the script works pretty well until the end which feels strangely truncated. reason for this is said to be the prince had a much more prominent role in the original script, but that his role was toned down during production because he proved very difficult to animate. well, purely narrative function then the script pretty well, but there are details of the interruption. Although one must assess all movies by the time they were in, but women's views of snow-white has really not aged with grace. Snow White may be the våpigaste disney princess ever and have very few mitigating features. as long as snow white is silent, or sing, the movie works so much better. the music is also the part of the movie along with the animation has aged best. here are a host of Disney classics like "Whistle While You Work", "hey ho" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" and the soundtrack was also the first to be released as a commercial disc.
of Snow White is boring is the dwarfs just the opposite. all of them may not get the characterization that they deserve, but the fact is that they still got us both to a smile. personally, I wonder just why the "butter" is so damn gay?
few words about the directing and animation before the final verdict. This may be one of the best looking animated films I've ever seen, and many subsequent Disney films can not compete with the perfect aesthetics with elements of German expressionism and the old illustrations of Grimm's fairy tales. upper hand, unfortunately, suffers somewhat because the script was changed at the last second, and the already mentioned problem of the end came. the scenes that now got site is well organized and balanced.
Ulf's Rating: "Snow White" may be a classic, but for me it is a dead movie. half of the film is wonderful with their incredibly high production values and fun bikaraktärer. second half is quite hypnotic and really need to be reviewed. as a craft is exquisite with its artwork and music, but that movie is taken as the rather stale.
ellis Rating: "Snow White" is a film that can not escape, feel free. just as with herring at Christmas questioned it never, even though it does not taste anything, once it goes down. you could really complain at the poor women's perception of the teaching of young children, but to say that a Disney movie suffers from this is like saying that it is dark at night. it will do, and offers some laughs, but it had almost been better if you dropped snow white and just let the film be about dwarfs.
Ulf's rating: 2 / 5
ellis rating: 3 / 5
