Family films are usually of the animated variety, meaning any feature that’s not live-action has a stigma attached to it that it’s exclusively for the juice box crowd. But in reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Animation is simply a type of art form filmmakers use to tell their stories, and every once in a while, the narrative is something that both kids and their parents can connect to. It actually happens more often than you would think, and not just with Pixar.
Due to their box office prowess, it’s clear that animated films aren’t going to go away any time soon. And if Hollywood keeps up their decades-long tradition of delivering wonderful movies through this medium, nobody will be complaining. Here is our list of the
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The original animated production from Walt Disney Studios, Snow White changed the industry in more ways than one. At the time, the project was as technically revolutionary as something like is for today’s audiences. Disney pioneered a whole new way to make a movie, bringing the world of the fairy tale to life with vibrant colors and stand out musical selections. Even if the substance wasn’t up to par, Snow White would still be a treat to look at.
But fortunately, the film delivered a complete package when it was released back in 1937. Populating it with a collection of memorable characters, viewers responded strongly to its story of a young princess hoping to be saved from the clutches of her evil stepmother. If you need proof of Snow White‘s resonance, consider that the titular seven dwarfs still rank among Disney’s most marketable creations, even though they have 79 years of other releases to go through. Both a timeless classic and a watershed moment for movies, Snow White paved the way for animated storytelling.
