1937 | USA | G | 83 min.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s off to Open Space we go for the ultimate Walt Disney classic, a charming and tender take on the Grimm Brothers' fairytale about a princess, an evil queen, cute woodland creatures, a septet of diminutive miners, a poisoned apple, and a dashing prince. This groundbreaking masterpiece marked the first full-length animated film made in the US, and it was hand-drawn without any computer assistance, kids! You don’t need a magic mirror to see that one man’s vision and the painstaking work of 570 artists culminated in a peak moment of American imagination that helped establish animation as an art form and laid the foundation for a style that endures today (see Sunday’s “Moana”). Even the grumpiest among us will be dazzled by this film, which remains the fairest of them all.
