SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (1937) **1/2 Well, I liked it better as a kid, but I was never crazy about it. The famous nightmare sequence in the forest deserves every bit of acclaim, and the animation is also brilliant whenever it depicts moving liquids or Dopey. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that the dwarfs are really cool. Snow White's facial gestures don't work for me, though, and if it's really between her and the queen to see who's "fairest in the land" I have to wonder just how many cartoon women there are in the land. I didn't see any other ones. Two of the songs are really good, but most of the rest are awful and there are just too many anyway. The woodsman looks a lot like Waylon Jennings, that's cool.
