SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS
Hosted by Philip Harwood
$10 Members / $15 Public / $8 Kids (12 and under)
As we celebrate our 50th anniversary we’re delighted to
present one of the true milestone in film history, Walt Disney’s Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs. The story of a princess driven from the
palace by her wicked stepmother and then saved by a group of seven
descriptively-named dwarves, the 1937 film was at first dubbed “Disney’s
Folly,” as no one had ever attempted a feature-length cel animation before.
Facing a cost that eventually ran to $1.4 million—a huge amount back
then—Disney even mortgaged his house to complete the film. At the end of its
premiere in December, 1937, an audience composed of the cream of Hollywood rose
to give it one of the longest standing ovations in anyone’s memory. A perennial
on every list of greatest films ever made, Snow White returns
with its brilliant colors, wonderful songs and unforgettable characters. (USA,
1937, 83 min., color, DCP)
