EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as we take a behind-the-scenes look at the groundbreaking production of this cinematic classic. In this double-page spread from The Illustrated London News, we witness the intricate process that brought the first feature-length animated film to life. In one image, the sound effects team meticulously recreates the shattering sound of crockery for the scene where the wicked queen's magic mirror is smashed. A man speaks his line inside a wooden box, while the team carefully drops dishes around him to capture the perfect sound. This innovative approach to sound design was a crucial element in bringing the enchanted forest to life. Another photograph showcases the colourisation process, where artists hand-painted thousands of individual cells to add vibrant hues to the black-and-white animation. This labour-intensive technique brought depth and richness to the screen pictures, enhancing the overall visual experience. Lastly, we see the printing press camera, which was instrumental in giving the animation a sense of depth and dimension. This technology allowed the individual frames to be transferred onto film, creating a seamless flow between the animated and live-action elements. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1938, marked a pivotal moment in film history. This double-page spread offers a fascinating glimpse into the production process, revealing the dedication, creativity, and innovation that went into bringing this beloved fairy tale to life.
