Animated Movie

This week I decided to watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I have seen this movie before as a kid, but didn't remember anything about it. This is Disney's, and the world's, first animated movie with only drawing animation used. The movie opens up with, "Once Upon A Time" and some other words that I could not read because it was blurry. I'm sure they have revamped the movie on DVD, but the only way to watch it in it's true form is on VHS. The color was a lot of pastels and overall pretty dull. The drawings are very well done,  but also simple on the face, and I'm pretty sure Snow White keeps her eyes closed for at least half the movie. Keeping in mind that this is the first animated movie, it is very impressive to what they were capable in the 1930's. It also shows how far animation has come since then. The music fits perfectly with the movie, it almost looks like a live performance where the conductor is watching the events unfold in front of him, and the movie has been choreographed according to the music. I'm very curious as to who the folley director was, and how they made the sounds throughout the movie seem real; specifically the mining in the coal mines. This movie was the start of an era of animated classics, and has only progressed since then to become so clear and real. Even though the newer animated movies such as Wall-E or Frozen might seem more impressive, the work that was produced 85 years ago is really spectacular.
I rate this movie a 8/10
