Disney Classics 1930s-1949

Movies
So Dear to my Heart
Bambi
Snow White
Dumbo
(Wind and the Willows-was made into a movie later combined with the Legend of Sleepy Hollow)
Song of the South
Pinnochio
The Three Caballeros
There are NUMEROUS shorts that I know or have seen
Ferdinand the Bull (1938)
Three Blind Musketeers

1. Never seen So Dear to My Heart- I would if they ever put more of it out, right? Ugh. It was one of the very few originals. Why don't they have it out?
2. I love Wind and the Willows combined with Sleepy Hollow, saw it like 2 years ago. 2 words, BING CROSBY!!!!!
3. Song of the South (along with Dumbo it gets a bad rap for being racist BUT, if you do your research- they were just keeping to what you may have found...especially in Dumbo-those crows yips were stuff off of backstage talk of like say Louis Armstrong record)
4. They need to promote more stuff like the Three Caballeros.
5. Blind Musketeers! There is countless others but some unusual ones I noticed. And who knew Ferdinand the Bull?

The Story of Snow WHite (two post in one day, It's Disney Day at my house)

snow white gif Pictures, Images and PhotosI just thought I'd add this because it is sooo cute. Snow White is truly a classic and deserves respect. I love her. Disney did a great job, and on his first motion picture try.
Some quick history on Snow White
Everyone thought Walt Disney was crazy for trying
He hired artists off the street and trained them with props
They did not name the seven dwarfs until the very last minute.
Disney needed more money so he asked an banker to come in and watch the movie (as it was without being fully done) and Walt explained to him stuff throughout the movie. They had a long talk with nothing to do about the movie and then at the very end the banker said "O by the way, that's gonna make you a hell of a lot of money" or something like that...so do not take it word for word.
He later hated Snow White (just a bit) for it being the film that everyone compared any of his productions to.
Adrianna was picked as the voice of Snow White because she was listening in on her dad's phone conversation....there are other versions but I heard Adrianna say that herself in an interview so... never know. Anyway. Disney looked everywhere for the perfect voice. The voices of the dwarfs are interesting stories but check that out yourself because off the top of my head, I can't give specifics on every single one of the characters.
