Biggest movie opening for me. Uh Avrngers: endgame. Almost all the tickets were sold out for every showing. Luckily I was able to secure 2 tickets for my nephew and I.
The first audience to see the completed movie was made up of the children of people who worked at Disney Studios. My mother was one of them. She is still alive and remembers it well. Her father was originally responsible for keeping the studio air conditioning from failing. He installed it himself. It was a new technology at the time and Disney had it installed because the heat in Burbank would dry up the paints used by the animators. My grandfather was the man who came up with the idea of placing musicians in separate cubicles with individual microphones for the multi-track Fantasia. This is still in use today. My mom remembers that Walt wore a bug white apron and a chef's toque. He scooped up ice cream for the kids.
My Mom said it was Grate ! she told me a few times . It was One of the Best Time of her Life , I know this due to How she would tell me the store of Seeing Snow White.
It still amazes me that Walt Disney studios was built on making cartoons such as snow white, and others like the jungle book(my personal favorite), and now Disney is now the biggest movie studio in the world. Disney owns almost everything. I'm sure walt could have never imaged that the company he founded would own Marvel studios, Pixar, Lucas films and 21st century fox.
@@viviennemorgan7217 I'm not talking Pixar. Pixar is the evolution of animation. Rather than drawing dozens of animation sequences. Everything has turned digital.
I believe the scene of the queen's transformation was cut outright from some European releases of the movie. Could you imagine the reaction, or even revulsion, if the Snow White character herself witnessed that transformation first-hand?!

The witch scared many kids into wetting their pants, so theater owners complained about having to clean the theater seats. The voice of the Queen/Witch was Lucille Laverne (1872-1945); her most prominent role - or the role that most people would most likely have seen - is as "Ma Magdalena" in "Little Ceasar" (1931) - although she is not listed in the cast.
In the Netherlands Snow White was rated children above the age of 14 because it was too scary. Later, after some scenes were cut it was rated for all ages.
"Snow White" was great, but it's hard to understand why patrons would pay $5.00 for what was essentially an elongated cartoon, when a year later, they were only willing to pay $2.50 to see "Gone with the Wind"! Even after "GWTW's" initial run, they had to lower the price to $.75, for average American movie houses, to fill theaters! $5.00 was a day's pay, then!
By Wed. April 27, 1938 ticket prices had dropped. In Whittier, Ca at Whittier Theatre a matinee performance with a center left orchestra seat cost 55¢ for an adult, 55¢ for a student’s matinee seat, and $1.10 for an adult matinee center orchestra seat. There are extant tickets for that performance. I’m not sure when prices started to go down though.
Any word on the admission charge for The Wizard of Oz, which was also released in 1939? Snow White probably charged more because it was a unique project for its time. It represented a shake of the dice by Disney.
Somehow "Snow" does not sound like the correct shortened version of "Snow White." Likewise, while "the Seven Dwarfs" refers to the work's title, referring to the dwarves as "the dwarfs" sounds ungrammatical.
I wish Lego would change their minds & release the Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs Lego set. I'm still mad that greedy bastard Peter Dinklage ruined that.
@AliceA333 Lego was gonna release a set based on the original animated Disney Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. The live action movie was announced and Peter Dinklage was outraged they were going to have actors who have dwarfism or who are little people play the seven dwarfs. So, Lego canceled the set due to the controversy. Since then, the movie will have CGI "forrest dwellers " of various heights and genders. On the bright side, Lego decided to change their minds and release the set based on the original animated movie.
@@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety Wtf. Who else does he expect to play a damn dwarf? I guess a kid could, but how's that better? What if it was "Snow White & the 7 Tall Men"? "Snow White will be played by Jennifer Lawrence, and the 7 tall men will be played by Kevin Hart, The Olsen Twins, and 4 animated fairies"???? Well now 7 other little actors don't have a choice if they want the job or not.
"$5 a ticket"! Yeesh! Can you imagine what Disney Execs would think of MARVEL, PIXAR and DISNEY proper earnings?? They'd jeez themselves until they're empty.😂
I love Snow White but never liked the ending when she just rode away on the horse and never said to the little men please come and visit us anytime and we'll visit you too, very ungrateful I thought lol
@@jangles1839 I think it teaches children to be ungrateful and not even say thank you to them for allowing her to stay with them. I seem to be getting carried away now and taking it too far lol plus it's encouraging children that it's OK to live in strange men's houses, I'll stop now lol lol
My mother was two years old when Snow White was released. I could sense she always loved the movie because it provided one of the brighter moments amidst The Depression. Very recently, I showed her a YT video on the making of the movie and she remembered how lovely Snow White's character was. I was born in the latter half of the 1960s so by comparison, I had all kinds of great music and movies in my earliest days. When I was a pre-schooler, she bought me the Snow White storybook and Disneyland record. She also bought me the same package of Peter Pan!
I remember in 1974 when I was 6 years old my mom and dad took us to see Where the Red Fern Grows. It was a double feature with Snow White playing right after. That's the first time I remember see Snow White. It was and has been one of my favorite movies of all time. Dopey was my favorite drawf.
I believe you are absolutely correct. I am 84 years old and my friend still called me childlike or is it childish who knows I don't think I've ever seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs all the way through.
I remember getting told that when my late mother was taken to see it, she screamed and hid under her seat when the wicked witch came on the screen. Her Dad refused to take her to the movies for a while afterwards
@@rongendron8705 Peter Pan might well be my favorite Disney movie. I've always liked the wit of the characters in the movie as well as the pace of the story itself.
I really like this presenter and how he presents this and other movie material. Great clips and the stories behind them. Watched other Grunge vids and they use allot of stock photos and sound like they are talking from their feelings.
@@FischerFan As part of the no longer silent majority, I will not support that poisoned well company. It had great programming for all ages to enjoy. Their loss. I have many younguns I indulge both with my time and bank. No more dolls, toys, clothing, movies...
@@meyerj75 I get there is a lgbtq community but there is an even larger dare I say vast community of hetero that Disney is discounting. We're still here. If Disney continues its attempt to destroy the status quo, Disney will no longer be. The heteros have staying power and love to dote (that means buying goods) on the younger generations.

That’s incredible
Snow White is a masterpiece
Such a classic story and movie. It will always be one of my many faves. Mr Disney truly did what he was born to do 🌏

Seems to me I read somewhere that Marlene Dietrich commented about the movie how "...cutsie-poo and doodle-doo..!" it was!
Informative.
Would love to see this for other Disney releases
Very informative
Of course Chaplain would love "Dopy" that Dwarf is most like his "Tramp" character.
Nicely done video. But maybe decide for another background music next time? It is pretty distractive

Disney should rerelease the old european dunbings.
I wonder if this is how Ying yang twins got whistle while you twerk
You really have to wonder that??
Was it 1937 or 1938? You said both.
5 dollars then compared to the current is right about 100$, Hell now, no movie is worth that
Eh...did it say the stars weren't recognized & had to pay 5 bucks to get in?? In the 1930s? Tickets were like 20 cents
