Behind the Scenes of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Mingling with the stars were the anonymous makers of the film whom Walt Disney had given tickets. There was great anticipation to see how the audience would react. Animator Ward Kimball remembers the evening, “We weren’t prepared for the crying and sniffling in the audience.”

Snow White was an immediate success and remains one of the greatest animated features of all time. The film, Disney’s first full-length animated feature and a significant screen innovation, charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field.

Disney won an honorary Academy Award presented to him by Shirley Temple at the 1938 Academy Awards ceremony. The Award was not just a single Oscar statue, but eight – one full-size and seven little ones – all on the same stand. Snow White was the most successful movie released that year.
