Watchin' Disney #01: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

TO ALL WHO COME TO THIS HAPPY BLOG, WELCOME.

Welcome to Unclephilsmovie's latest and greatest feature, Watchin' Disney! I'm going to be watching all of the Walt Disney Animated Classics in order and blogging about it. I'm not really sure what this "feature" is going to be. I don't want to review the movies because I'd probably give all of them A's regardless of how much I liked them because of their "historical value" and whatnot, well at least until I get up to the ones that stink and have no historical value, like Dinosaur. I really just want to watch all of the Disney animated classics, to reacquaint myself with the ones I haven't seen since I was little and finally see the ones I haven't seen, and I think if I don't blog about it I won't do it.

So, let's get right into The Blog Post That Started It All: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!

Previous relationship with movie: Owned it on VHS growing up. Bought a used copy of the Platinum Edition DVD after it had gone out of print when I decided I should start collecting the Disney Platinum Edition DVDs (a trend I start every once in a while and give up on, hopefully this feature will get me to catch 'em all).

So I watched it:
It's a nice movie, you know? Sure a lot of stuff is cheesy but it also has a lot of beautiful animation, some inventive stuff, and it holds up well. There, there's a "review" of every Disney animated movie through 1970. No for real, I enjoyed this movie. What, am I supposed to sit here and be snarky about a movie everyone loves? The internet is in no short supply of snark, THIS MOVIE IS A CLASSIC FOR A REASON, FOLKS. I genuinely laughed a couple times, and the scene when Snow White runs through the woods and the tree bark turns into alligators is cool! Ok hopefully after a few more movies I'll get the hang of what I'm gonna do with Watchin' Disney.

Up Next: Pinocchio! Should be fun!
