A Film I Enjoy Watching
'Show White and the Seven Dwarfs' is my favourite film. I enjoy it very much and have already seen it twice. This Walt Disney film is popular still. Children, as well as adults, find the characters lovable, especially the seven dwarfs and Snow White. In this film, I enjoy the beautiful woodland scenes, the tinycottage among the trees and the strange, little men -- the dwarfs. The pretty birds, squirrels, deer and other forest creatures are also lovable.
Snow White is charming and dainty, with her sweet voice, round, sparkling eyes and a cute little mouth. She is a pleasure to watch as she sings lovely songs like 'Just Whistle
While You Work' and 'Some Day My Prince Will Come' while busy washing, dusting and cooking for the dwarfs. The beautiful scenes are further enhanced by the blue birds who help her along as she works all alone in the house.
The dwarfs are comical with their short, fat bodies and interesting names that suit each of them perfectly -- Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful and Dopey. I especially like Dopey who is shy and lovable and who always takes up the last position in the queue. The wicked witch, on the other hand, looks ugly andrepulsive, especially to children. In contrast, the handsome prince riding on horseback is a welcome character. His waking
Snow White up after her long sleep, and riding off with her after saving her life, is a happy scene one will always remember.
I can never get tired of watching 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', one of the best fairy tales shown on screen and would dearly love to see it

    Snow White has the purest soul and the kindest personality, which makes her so perfect that not being capable to be a movie character, because perfect means boring for a protagonist. Besides boring, Snow White is obviously the weakest and most brainless character, that she didn’t show any spirit of revolt or independence, making friends and great relationships with animals and dwarfs, chasing by a hunter in the forest, waiting for the prince’s kiss after having the poisoned apple from the queen. Snow White has taken a negative and a passive position since the start of the movie. Even the song (Someday My Prince will come) opened up her mind with blind optimism and useless waiting attitude. But citizens enjoyed watching such story, that Snow White was made for her era, that the dejected Americans needed such a fairytale to bring their confidences back to life after the great depression ended in…

    Snow White’s death and her glass coffin are more dangerous to the Queen than Snow White being alive, as she “is an object to be displayed and desired” and becomes a the “ideal woman” to the patriarchy (Gilbert Gubar 296). Ultimately, Snow White defeats her wicked stepmother, but Gilbert and Gubar argue that her life will follow the same path of her wicked stepmother as she only “exchanged one glass coffin for another” and will “embark on that life of ‘significant action’ which, for a woman, is defined as a witch’s life” (Gilbert Gubar 296).…

    The first era of princesses depicted their ideals of beauty through their physical appearances and attributes such as their hair and lips as well as their dancing and singing abilities. For example, in Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, both female protagonists have the ability to attract animals with their singing. Even as a baby, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty is given the gift of beauty and song from the fairies. Another popular part of the first era is its depictions of its villains. In each of these movies, older age, ugliness, and death become one and the same (Do Rozario). For instance, both Snow White and Aurora are put to sleep by older women who perceive their beauty as a threat. This furthers…

    How will this influence the minds of young viewers? What people will take away from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a positive idea of Christianity. Although the story of Snow White is based off of the German Grimm’s Fairy Tale. The Walt Disney version that has just been studied in detail was the first Disney Feature Film and came from America. In America in 1937, there was not much religious diversity compared to today. Obviously the producers of the movie will promote Christian views. In fact, another version of the story (which is extremely similar) has Snow White’s life being saved because people were able to figure out how to heal her due to them seeing the beauty during her Christian burial. If we were to compare the religious background of Snow White to a much more modern Disney Film such as The Princess and the Frog (2009) there would be a huge…

    Jealousy Snow White

    • 734 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Few people can grow up within today's society without knowing the tale of Snow White. From the Grimm Brothers to Disney, it has been told and retold to children throughout the ages. However, what is often overlooked are the true meanings within the story. Fairytales typically have underlying messages that can be found between the lines, generally in terms of the key themes. Snow-White discusses the theme of jealousy, and shows how humans' obsessions of material can lead to their own downfall as well as the harm of others. When focusing on the relationship between Snow-White and her stepmother the Queen, it is evident that the jealousy inside the story results in a power struggle in which beauty and pride are seen as the basis for the stepmother’s envy towards Snow-White. “This gave the queen a great shock, and she became yellow and green with envy, from that hour her heart turned against Snow-White, and she hated her.”…

The dusky sky, was a brilliantly bright baby blue, and perched picturesquely on the autumn branches of the trees in the forest below. As the morning developed the sounds of young birds began to fulfil the air with a delicious spritz. They chirped, tweeted and warbled incessantly.…

    However, most of them highlight the negative impacts of the ‘Princess Ideal’ left on young children’ mind; especially on the young girls. Snow White’s fair and white skin color don’t only attract more boys, but it also becomes a dream for girls trying to look like these princess’. Consequently, girls with the dark skin lose their confidence. In this regard, the animated fairy tales are prime example. Snow White, being one of the favorite Disney princess' of children these days, has changed a lot in the last twenty years. Intentionally or unintentionally, the Disney princess is teaching young girls that all the value is of their beauty; and with this beauty, they can dream of having a handsome prince. Paradoxically speaking, this thought does not give any good reason to the less beautiful girls to love themselves as they’ve fear of not being able to attract any prince charming. Hence, beauty is invariably prominent and…
