    It blows my mind how a film that looks this good came out almost 100 years ago

    What a rare thing to create a sense of wonder in the span of a few minutes. Now I interested in how to watch this film in its entirety. Thank you for the magnificent pleasure of discovering this movie.

    Wonder if any Tigers were involved in the making?
    In all seriousness, for an animated movie in 1926, it holds up remarkably well. Makes you think about how any animated movies we have lost may have looked.

    I think that this movie is often not mentioned as the oldest existing animated feature, because it wasn't made by Americans. There were even more animated features that were released before Snow White - and all of them were made outside the USA. The first one wasa satirical El Apostol (1917) by an Argentinian called Quirino Cristiani (its only copy was destroyed in fire), then we had Sin dejar rastros (1918) by the same creator (it was confiscated by the government due to its satirical tone and most probably destroyed, although there is some hope that it may lie in some archive, totally forgotten) and two other satirical Argentinian movies by Andrés Ducaud from the same year (most probably lost in fire). After Prince Achmed, there was 1931 Peludopolis by Quirino Cristiani (the first sound animated feature - its only copy was lost in fire as well, the only remains of this movie is a very short scene featured in the BTS documentary), 1935 The New Gulliver from Soviet Union (a stop motion/live action combination), unfinished and lost Italian adaptation of Pinocchio ca. 1936, the French stop motion movie The Tale of the Fox (de facto finished in 1930, released in 1937 after the soundtrack was added) by a Polish-Russian creator Władysław Starewicz, and the 1937 German stop motion movie based on the fairytale Seven Ravens (it was released 19 days before Snow White).

      That and I think its a case of people not considering puppetry as animation and people think of fully hand drawn (to CGI).
      People also tend to pick films where they can see the influence easier. It(s easier for them to see the influence of Snow White (all hand drawn, colored, AND VOICED) than Achmed (all puppetry and no dialogue)

      There's also a lost animated opera titled "The Tale of the Priest and his workman Balda", a Soviet production with music done by Dmitri Shostakovich ("Waltz n°2"). Only one scene remains of it: the Bazaar.

      This stop-motion cartoon is lovely. It's not the oldest. Pauvre Pierrot can be found on UA-cam it's French and was shown in 1892. It was hand-painted and in color. Some of the animator's other films were destroyed. You can find it on UA-cam. The oldest surviving cartoon that I know of in the US was a live-action hybrid in 1900 called the Enchanted Drawing. The animator was British American.

    This is one of the first full-length animated movies, and one of the oldest surviving by a woman. I love the stop-show animation. Some get confused with the oldest full-length and wrongly think it's the oldest animation as well. it's one of the best but I think Lotte had older films that were lost. I wish I had this talent. The French cartoon, fantasmagorie is older (1908) it's on UA-cam. It's not the oldest surviving French animation. Pauvre Pierrot was shown in 1892. (on youtube) There is an animated live-action short called the Enchanted Drawing (1900). It's also on UA-cam. Snow White isn't even the oldest Disney cartoon and not the oldest in the US. It's still an amazing animated film for any time. (I will admit I looked all this stuff up.) I vaguly knew about fantasmagorie, but not the others.
