Snow white and the 7 dwarves may just be a silly disney princess movie to some people but for me it's a work or art. Every movement, character, and color had to but put in by hand, this really shows how we take the powers of digital animation for granted. Snow white's voice is sometimes painfully high pitched, but her sweet and innocent personality is what makes her stand out from other princesses. This story embodies the classic pure good vs pure evil lesson but I also think that it passes the message that looks are only superficial, you need to be beautiful on the inside too. I still wish there were such things as "wishing apples" and magic and watching this movie takes me back to my childhood when I thought anything was possible.
I love how they picked such simple names as Happy, Dopey, Sneezy, Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, and Bashful as the 7 dwarves names. Every single person can relate to all of these emotions, but all of them together make a person or in this case a family. Snow is so sweet and everyone that meets her (Expect the evil queen) falls in love with her, including the viewer.
I have started to notice that disney does in fact put a lot of complicated themes in their movies like life, death, love, and sorrow. The Evil queen dies by falling off a cliff but somehow it doesn't seem that violent. Disney manages to capture only the sweetest and most innocent parts of true love that makes any girl want to find her prince. The music is able to portray the emotion of each scene from utter tragedy when they think she is dead then to pure joy as Snow rides off into the sunset.
Some people critique movies like this for being too simple and unrealistic but I think we all need to see what a happy ending looks like because not everyone gets one in real life. I don't think you should have to only watch things that are deeply meaningful or make you think, because sometimes it's beneficial to feel good and happy.
