"Disney's Folly": Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

Walt Disney had started his company in the 1920s, making short animated cartoons, but he was never able to attain much financial success because theaters just didn't pay enough for cartoon rentals. He determined that to be successful, he would have to make a full-length feature instead.

Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

At the movie's December 21, 1937, premiere at Hollywood's Carthay Circle Theater, the celebrity-packed audience rose to its feet and cheered at the film's conclusion.

In 1993, "USA Today" computed that if one adjusted for inflation and escalating box-office prices, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs' theatrical earnings would exceed $6 billion!

When a newly restored version of the film was released on video in 1994, it outsold Jurassic Park.

  In the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale, the dwarfs are indistinct, interchangeable characters. For Disney's version, more than 50 names and personalities were thought up -- including Tubby, Burpy, and Biggy-Wiggy -- before the final Seven Dwarf names were chosen.

At the premiere, Walt Disney was so flustered he couldn't remember the names of the Seven Dwarfs!
