1:04I like the little note of thanks from Disney at the start.
4:46Just realised I’m going to know all these songs and not have realised they’re from Snow White.
5:19The selective echo is a bit weird.
7:40“Bring back her heart in this.” Dude, this Queen is grisly.
10:39Already that has echoes of Fantasia in it.
16:47What kind of children have pickaxes?
22:50Yay, heigh hoing!
29:02“They’re not stole, they’re hid in the cupboard.”
37:24It’s a bit stereotyping of her to guess their names like that.
39:14Definitely agree that good cooking is a substitute for rent.
47:39“Smells like a petunia.” Couldn’t tell you what a petunia smells like, but sure.
58:12“Ha, mush,” says Grumpy, and I worry I’m too much like him.
1:03:41I feel like someone so obsessed with their looks wouldn’t be happy being this old woman for any length of time.
1:10:24She’s not wrong, I’d rather have an apple pie than a gooseberry pie.
1:17:20Crushed by her own rock.

Thoughts

It is mad to think this was the first animated movie of its kind, the legacy that it kicked off, and just how long ago it was. It's not the most exciting movie of all time, and the songs get a bit high pitched and gooey by the end. Plus, of course, the evil Queen's strategy makes no sense. But for its time and what it is, it's a really good effort!

Rating: 3 / 5
