Original Snow White cartoon being restored and aired on Disney Plus

Animation Magazine announced the now century-old Snow White cartoon from Disney, the first full-length feature developed when Walt's studio was founded, has undergone restoration and will be broadcast next week on Disney Plus:
The 100-year-old Walt Disney Animation Studios’ first-ever animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, will join in the centenary celebrations with the new 4K restoration arriving on Disney+ on October 16.

This restored version of the 1937 classic is the result of the combined efforts of the Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation team, working closely with key artists from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the same team who recently worked together on the critically-acclaimed restoration of Walt Disney’s 1950 animated classic, Cinderella. [...]

“The opportunity to help restore Snow White was both an honor and a challenge,” said Goldberg. “As the very first Walt Disney feature, Mike Giaimo and I felt we owed a debt to history to get it looking as beautiful, and as accurate to the original colors, as we could. The muted palette and the delicate watercolor backgrounds evoke the illustrated fairy tales that Walt so loved, and the story and characters continue to resonate to this day. I hope our work inspires future generations of animation artists to fully appreciate the masterful talent and care that has gone into this landmark film.”
No doubt, this'll promote plenty of great questions, like whether more people will want to see the original cartoon on the company's channel than the new live action remake starring Snow Woke and the Seven Social Justice Employees, where Gal Gadot plays the evil White Queen. Even so, subscribing to their channel and putting money into their pockets to see this is taking a serious risk, and here's a vital query decidedly worth raising: what if it turned out this restoration also included truncation? Specifically, suppose they omitted say, the part where the prince kisses Snow to revive her from the spell cast by the evil queen, all in order to placate the pseudo-feminists who falsely accused it of glorifying rape? Whether or not the audience flocks to see the original on Disney Plus proper, we should hope attendance won't be victims of a rip-off done for the sake of Orwellianism.

Apart from whether this restored edition of the classic cartoon will be presented in all its unabridged glory, this certainly is something to look forward to. It's only a question of whether one should subscribe to Disney Plus in order to view it direct.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green

  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
