内容概要

　　Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was first shown
to a theatrical audience in December 1937 and brought overwhelming,
joyous applause from a house full of hardened film-industry
professionals. In subsequent months it would open around the world,
happily acclaimed by audiences and critics everywhere as one of the
best films of the year, if not the decade.
　　From today’s perspective, its stature is even greater—named as
one of the best movies of all time by the American Film Institute,
and still beloved by children and adults around the world, Snow
White can be seen as the flowering of an all-too-brief Golden Age
of animation as well as a fascinating document of its time.
　　Such a level of artistic achievement doesn’t happen by accident.
Walt Disney and a staff of exceptionally talented artists labored
over Snow White for four years, endlessly working and reworking
their scenes to achieve an ever higher standard. The result, as we
know, was magnificent and game-changing for the Disney Studios and,
indeed, for the art of animation itself.
　　This book is the first to reconstruct that process in exacting
detail, with the loving attention it deserves from an
internationally noted film scholar. Author J.B. Kaufman spent years
researching the film’s history, interviewing participants, and
studying the marvelous archival art that appears in these pages.
The result is a work that can be appreciated equally as a piece of
film history and as a collectable art book, a joy for anyone who
loves film, animation, and the magical world that Walt Disney
created.

television programs, theme parks and new technologies. Walt’s

animation to an art, transformed the film industry, tirelessly
pursued innovation, and created a global, distinctively American
legacy.
