Snow White (Film Critique)

I've always loved Snow White, and not just because my nieces make me watch it a thousand times a day. Even though it is an older animated film, it's cool to see how animation started out. When the characters talk the mouths don't always match up with what they are saying, but it's not very distracting to me. The way the characters express themselves through body motions is important too because it helps you better understand what the character is feeling and thinking (especially when a big portion of the film is singing). Same with the animals, they never talk during the film, but you can tell when they are scared, happy, worried, etc. just based off of their expressions. That's the bonus to an animated film like this, in a regular show it's hard to get animals to show emotion. But when the film is animated it makes it easy to perfect each characters personality. Although the names of the seven dwarfs paint an obvious picture of their personalities, you could guess their names just based off of how they act. I usually have a difficult time remembering who is who, but this film made it easy for me because all the characters were so different in their own funny way. The creators of Snow White even went through the trouble of making the voices match the characters. For example, you can tell Snow White is sweet and loving by her bubbly voice, and that the queen is mean and selfish by her stern, serious voice. Overall I enjoyed the film and will continue to watch it almost everyday with my nieces. :)
