The Movie:

• The first ever full length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a landmark from The Walt Disney Company.
• Originally released in 1937, it became one of the most influential films in history.
• Based on the German fairy tale, it follows Snow White, a princess forced to flee from her jealous stepmother, the Evil Queen, who becomes obsessed with being "the fairest of them all."
• Deep in the forest, Snow White finds refuge in a cottage inhabited by seven dwarfs: Doc, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey.
• She encounters the queen again, this time disguised as an old beggar woman, tricking Snow White into eating a poisoned apple, and can only be saved by true-love's kiss.
• The film earned a special honorary Academy Award, and was selected for preservation by the U.S. National Film Registry because of its significance back in 1989.
