Tell about Story of Snow White ?

Over 150 girls auditioned for the role of Snow White, including Deanna Durbin. Walt was very picky on who he wanted to voice the character. After countless auditions for the role, he heard Adriana's voice and knew that he had found his Snow White. She earned $970 for her work on the film.

However, Walt made her sign a strict contract stating that she could not act or sing in any other movies or radio programs. He did not want the image of Snow White to be ruined. Because of this contract, this was sadly Adriana's only major film role.

Young dancer Marge Champion was the live-action model for Snow White. Her movements were recorded so the animators could observe them as a reference so they could bring an aspect of realism to the character.

Marge later did modeling for other Disney characters such as The Blue Fairy from Pinocchio, Maid Marion from Robin Hood, and the dancing hippo in Fantasia. Marge's first husband, Art Babbitt, was a top animator at Walt Disney Studios and he was the creator of the famous Disney character Goofy.

On June 28, 1987, Snow White was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame with her very own star. She is one of the few fictional characters to receive this honor. Her star is located at 6910 Hollywood Boulevard, across the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

At the end of the premiere engagement at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, all of the upholstery on the seats in the theater had to be replaced. The children were so scared by the scene of Snow White being lost in the forest that they wet their pants. I can only imagine how horrible it would be to have to clean that up.

Snow White has her own ride dedicated to her at Disneyland. Snow White's Scary Adventures is located in Fantasyland. On this ride, you get to witness her adventures up close and in person. This is one of my favorite rides at the park, and I have to admit that it did scare me when I was little. The ride has been at Disneyland since opening day on July 17, 1955. It is one of the few original attractions still in operation.

In 1939, at the 11th Academy Awards, Walt Disney won an Honorary Academy Award for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The film received this honor for being a "significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field." Walt received one full size statuette and seven miniature ones. They were presented to him by Shirley Temple.

It is possible we would not have full-length animated films today if Walt did not make this movie. I am so happy that he decided to turn this fairy tale into a movie because, in my opinion, the world would be a lot more sad without animated films. This is really the one that started it all.

This film has acquired quite a fan base over the years. I learned of a few interesting people who say Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is their favorite film.

Famous Dutch painter Piet Mondrian has said this film was one of his favorites.
Sergei M. Eisenstein, who directed Battleship Potemkin (1925) said it was "the greatest film ever made.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered 80 years ago, on Dec. 21, 1937, at the Carthay Circle Theatre in L.A. It was followed by a nationwide release on February 4, 1938. Adjusted for inflation, the animated movie is one of the Top 10 performers at the North American box office.

1. Walt Disney came up with the idea bring Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to the big screen when he was 15 years old, after seeing a silent film version of the classic fairytale in Kansas City.

2. The movie was initially budgeted at $250,000, but due to various delays, it ballooned to $1.5 million—a big amount at the time. Disney later mortgaged his home to finance the production.

The film took roughly three years to produce, from 1934 to 1937.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the first feature-length animated film in U.S. history.

. Over 750 artists completed more than 2 million sketches. The film included 250,000 drawings.

. Animator Ward Kimball nearly quit after his two main sequences were cut.

Disney tasked his team with creating the multiplane camera, a device capable of shooting several images at once in order to create more depth (and imagination) in the artists' drawings.

. Convinced the film would fail, critics nicknamed the film "Walt Disney's Folly."

Early concept art depicted Snow White as a blonde. Her raven hair became one of her defining physical characteristics, as the Magic Mirror described her beauty in detail to the Evil Queen: "Alas, she is more fair than thee: Lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow.

Blabby, Busy, Crabby, Daffy, Deefy, Dirty, Dumpy, Flabby, Gabby, Gaspy, Gloomy, Hotsy, Lazy, Nifty, Scrappy, Shifty, Snoopy, Stubby, Thrifty and Weezy were all considered for the dwarfs' names and personalities. Sneezy, for example, was actually a last-minute substitute for Deefy.

Happy is the only dwarf whom Snow White does not refer to by name.

In the dwarfs' cottage, nearly every wooden surface has an animal carved into it.

Twenty-five songs were written for the movie—but only eight were used.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first movie to release a soundtrack for purchase.
