'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'

Have a kid and you'll run through the Disney anthology pretty quickly.

I honestly don't mind most of the Disney films. "Fox and the Hound" did not age well. However, "Peter Pan," "The Jungle Book" and "Robin Hood" are all fantastic films.

I don't dig "Snow White" very much. For one, it's incredibly violent. Killing Snow White and carving out her heart. It is crazy how it's an 88 minute movie and yet it takes about 60 of those minutes to set the film up (Snow White running away; finding the dwarves home; dwarves coming home; dwarves befriending Snow White). It just takes forever.

Reading about it more, it was pretty monumental in terms of filmmaking and animation. Maybe it sucks, but we'd have no "Spirited Away" or "Up" without it.
