"Snow White" different from the previous Disney cartoons both in conception and execution. Disney has attempted here to tell a tale, and not just än Incident as in the short subjects. He does it so skilfully and succes- sfully that the audience feels it is witnessing roat life-and-blood entertainment Instead of a series of drawings.
The tale is told simply and sin- cerely, without any Incongruous embellishments. The only bit of satire which Disney allows himself is in the actions of the Seven Dwarfs, in whom he embodies the salient traits of human character. For the colour work, admiration will be general There is no startl- ing contrast, only subdued hues and tints which, nevertheless, help to make the picture very realistic. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs took nearly three years to make, and rearly a million drawings were required for its

"Snow White" Deserves Every Word Of Praise
Some of the most lovable characters ever to appear on the screen come to life in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Walt Disney's first full-length feature film, which was previewed at the Queen's Theatre yesterday.
With a picture such as this, publicised as it was to an al- most. unprecedented degree even before production was complet- ed, there is always a risk that that the finished alm may fall short of expectations.

Happily. In the case of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." animation, colouring, characterisation," "music, voices and sound effects, as well as the story. are so perfect that every word of praise is more than deserved.
The love interest naturally is centred on Snow White and Her Prince Charming but it is the seven quaint dwarfs who will find their way into the hearts of all.

As is usual in Walt Disney's productions, an important part
is played by the numerous woodland creatures which frolic and
