Miscellaneous:
Walt Disney performed the entire
film in a planning session. He sang the songs, acted out the parts,
and established the story line to boost his employee's enthusiasm for the
project.
The voice of Sneezy, Billy Gilbert,
was also used in Fun and Fancy Free as Willy the
Giant.
MPAA Rating:
G
My Rating:
The first animated feature film.
It won a set of Academy Awards for Walt Disney and it is included on the
AFI 100 movies list. This is another must
see Disney film. Sure, there are a lot of songs and there are too
many cute animals, but hey, it's a classic, and one of a few on the AFI
list that most people have seen.
