Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which is Walt Disneys first animated cartoon of feature length, is perfectly delightful screen entertainment. The film is as charming as it is novel in conception and execution and it is so bound to appeal as strongly to grown-ups as to youngsters.
The audience that greeted the first showing of the picture yesterday morning at Music Hall, and which was made up mostly of adults, applauded with great enthusiasm at its close. It greeted each broadside of comedy with hearty guffaws and every sly witticism met with a gargantuan chuckle.
Audience spellbound
The entire audience seemed to fall under the magic spell which Walt Disney and his staff of clever magicians wove with great artistry on the screen. The spell began with the first appearance of the lovely little heroine, the Princess Snow White, as she sang her song of desire at the wishing well to an astonished and amusing audience of doves.
The magic continued throughout Snow Whites exciting flight from the villainous stepmother and her adventure with the seven little men who give her shelter and loving devotion, but who fail to keep her from the clutches to the cruel queen. The spell remains unbroken until Snow White awakens from her lethal sleep at the kiss of her Prince Charming.
