On February 4th, 1938, Walt Disney released the trailer for what would be his first feature-length animated film: Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs. “See for yourself what the genius of Walt Disney has created in his first full length feature production,” the trailer boasted.

And genius it was. It was the first animated feature film produced in Technicolor and it wasn't meant just for kids. But his grand idea was met with more than a little skepticism, even from Disney's own wife, who thought that no audience — especially adults — would sit through a such a long "cartoon".

I remember the first time I saw it (not at the original release — I'm not that old!). I fell in love with Snow White, despised the evil queen and laughed my head off at my favorite dwarf, Dopey.

Since 1944, the studio has re-released the movie about every ten years. And every time they do, I go see it again. Not only is it an enduring classic film that influenced directors from Fellini to Orson Welles, it's just plain fun to watch. Over and over and over again!
