About the Book

This open access book explores the enduring qualities that have marked Snow White’s influence and legacy, providing a collection of original chapters that reflect upon its pioneering use of technology and contributions to animation’s visual style, the film’s reception within an American context, and its status as a global cultural phenomenon. Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (David Hand, 1937) occupies a central place within the history of global animation. Based on the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, the film was the first feature-length animated film produced by the Disney Studio and served to announce the animated cartoon as an industrial art form. Yet Disney’s landmark version not only set in motion the Golden Age of the Hollywood cartoon, but has continued to stand as an international sensation, prompting multiple revisions and remakes within a variety of national filmmaking contexts. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com.

Review :
This is an incredible edited collection, showcasing meticulous research by all of its outstanding contributors. Featuring chapters that revisit the contextual, technological and aesthetic breakthroughs of Disney’s first fairy tale, and contributions that cover new ground, such as the film’s exhibition, reception and influence in Europe and China, this book is sure to become a major touchstone for scholarly researchers of Disney, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and fairy tale adaptations. A masterful collection of essays that confirms Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as a cultural, technological and artistic landmark that features animated characters who, like their best live-action peers, have provided an enduring emotional bond with generations of moviegoers. A meticulous analysis of one of the most complicated movies in film history, this volume places Disney’s masterpiece within discussions of European art cinema, aesthetic influence, the history of the musical, costume design, the Hollywood film as international commodity, and much more. Of all the work on this great film, this is the definitive edition, by far “the fairest of them all.”
