Some classic Disney songs right here!
The happiest, dopiest, grumpiest, sneeziest movie of the year.
At a recording session, Lucille La Verne, the voice of the Wicked Queen, was told by Walt Disney's animators that they needed an older, raspier version of the Queen's voice for the Old Witch. La Verne stepped out of the recording booth, returned a few minutes later, and gave a perfect "Old Hag's voice" that stunned the animators. When asked how she did it, she replied, "Oh, I just took my teeth out."
The Special Academy Award given to the picture consisted of one standard Oscar statuette and seven miniature statuettes on a stepped base.
All the dwarfs were modeled after real people.
The highest-grossing animated film of all time, adjusted for inflation.
Snow White is the youngest Disney Princess at the age of 14.
Obviously you can see the film that started it all right here on Disney+
