SnowWhite is the fairest one of all. The queen wants to be number one, sodecides to come after her. Snow White, cut loose from the castle,stumbles upon a hut where seven dwarves are living - which is where theQueen comes for her, in disguise, with a poison apple...

Thishas classic written all over it. Disney's first major feature, thegrand debut, cements the major features of those to come. It draws fromvery dark but fantastic material, Grimm's Fairy Tales, and alternatesscenes of evocative darkness (the Queen's castle, the man sent to cutSnow White's heart out, and the forest that's alive, are some brilliantexamples) with scenes of superlative cuteness and song and dancenumbers.

Highlights:

All of the Queen's scenes are absolute gems, actually. And the dwarves are great. Seven great characters.

Oneof the best things Disney ever did was the Queen's angry walk down thestaircase to the dungeon, and her subsequent making of a potion totransform herself into an old witch. The way the liquid she's mixingcomes alive is fantastic, and the close-ups on the crow sitting on theskull are a nice touch.

The poison flooding towards the centre of the pot, engulfing the apple, and the jack o'lantern face on it afterwards.

Someof Disney's most classic songs come from Snow White: Whistle While YouWork, Heigh Ho (its off to work we go), and one of the most beautifulDisney songs ever, Some Day My Prince Will Come.

There's also a very memorable piece of theme music that plays during the climactic storm scene.
