Snow White really is great! Classic movie, (which I have a lot of nostalgia for), and an awesome new ride!:D

Everyone has to remember that the production of Snow White started in 1932, the time that Betty Boop (if any of you young'uns know who the heck that is) was released. Due to Betty's popularity, Snow White was originally sketched based on that. Walt didn't want her to portray "that type" of woman so he made her looks more pure. As to the voice, do you really think they had a super stereo recording studio back then? That was the sound of the day because Betty Boop sang in her cartoons. Just a history lesson. Give it fifty years and you'll have people saying The Lion King is horrible. :rolleyes:

So I have seen 30 out of 53 Animated films (real one, not the sequels) I don't remember a couple of them and I never heard of some of them. Make Mine Music? Fun and Fancy? Even if the list I saw was true?

I know Betty Boop she's in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and I saw her at Toon Lagoon when I was IOA when I was there last time I think

Don't call me crazy, but... The thing that bothers me about Snow White is her looks. She doesn't look princess-y at all. Her dress is horrible, her hair is way too short... isn't she supposed to be the fairest in the land? She could have been a beauty with a simpler, not tri-color gown and longer hair (a la Aurora, kind of).
I never judge people by their looks in real life, but when it comes to SW, I can't help it. This has annoyed me all my life!
Oh, I am so with you! Thank you for saying it before me! I thought Snow White was ugly when I was a kid. I have every single princess in a Barbie doll-type form...except for Snow White.

My great-grandmother gave me this porcelain Snow White doll when I was 10 or 11. I've always felt guilty because of how ugly I thought that thing was, yet it was a gift from my great grandmother, who I adored. It used to reside in my room, and for a long time, I never voiced how ugly I thought it was. Then I finally got tired of looking at it and feeling guilty every time I looked at it, so I moved it to my parents' basement, which is Disney-themed. I don't plan on taking it with me when I move out. I will probably pass it down to my daughter/granddaughter, if I have one, otherwise, I'll pass it along to another one of my great grandmother's descendants.

Of course my dislike of Snow White also stems from her being so helpless and being unable to do anything for herself besides clean. I don't mind her voice, but her inability to do anything to change her life irritates me. Much prefer Once Upon a Time Snow White, who ran from the queen, became a bandit, and eventually, took back her kingdom.

I like all the versions of Snow White. I love that this one is a Momma lion for her daughter.

Yep, those last two are indeed real.
Although the last one is "Fun and Fancy Free". :)
