Snow White/Animation

Watching Snow White took me back to my childhood era.  Looking at it this past week in class reminded me of the exciting colors used.  It was kind of scary also with the queen and the jealousy she had of Snow White.  The lengths she went to to kill her off with the apple and poison, how vulnerable some women are.  There were still pictures used and for example, coupled with movement (i.e. the dark clouds).  In most of the frames both were used.  I've always been curious about the series of pictures, the animation and all the drawings used to make one film.  In Snow White the colors used were pastel and standard.  The astonishment drawn for Snow White's face as she is told to "Run, hide in the woods, anywhere!", were very well done. 

Going from the fun and singing scenes to the dark and scary and threatening were very well done also.  Capturing the movement of the characters and their shadows took quite skill and perfection.  I can see so much thought and detail put in the creation of this film.  The movement of the dust must've been difficult, I'd presume for the artist, and challenging.  In the cleaning scene it looks as though some time the tape was rewound to use the same picture to make the duration of the movement longer.  For example, the waterfal along the path the dwarfs followed home.  The sparkling of the diamonds and jewels where the dwarfs worked caught my eye as spectacular.  The fly making the bubble on the soap bar was done magnificently.
It looked as it does in reality.

The artists show shading in the skulls' brows that are realistic.  When Bashful starts to sing and turns a bit red, it's done in realistic timing.  The colors represent well.  I could see the expression in Snow White's eyes as she began telling her story of love, like the flutter of her eyes as she began to tell, rather sing, her story to the dwarfs.

In the reading it said that Snow White is where Disney made his signature trademark for the most acceptable type of fairy tale.  The fairy tales that followed basically followed the same type of script, with the princess in distress and some turmoil happening, but the being saved and loved by a strikingly handsome prince.

Disney taking this from the Grimm Brothers and making it all his own, isn't that what most moviemakers do today?  So why all of the fuss?  Disney not giving his animators credit and them having to fight for recognition, for the most part, is selfish and wrong.  He gets proper credit for a million other things, why not share the spotlight or at least give credit where it is due, because without these artists and animators, Disney would have gotten nowhere.
