Theatrical films

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first full-length animated feature film and the first Disney animated feature film.^[1] In 1989, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".^[2]

Snow White (2025)

In late October 2016, a live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was announced, with Erin Cressida Wilson writing the script and Marc Platt producing. The remake expands upon the story of the 1937 film, and includes new songs written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.^[3] By September 2019, Marc Webb signed on to direct the film.^[4] In June 2021, Rachel Zegler was cast as Snow White and it was also reported that production would begin in 2022.^[5] Filming took place in the United Kingdom from March through July 2022, with additional filming and pick-ups taking place in June 2024.^[6]^[7]^[8] The film is scheduled for release on March 21, 2025.^[9]

Comics

A comic strip adaptation of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released to coincide with the release of the film. The comic strip was written by Merrill de Marris and drawn by Hank Porter, both staff at Walt Disney Pictures.^[10]

The original strip ran on Sundays from December 12, 1937 to April 24, 1938 and was distributed by King Features Syndicate.^[11] The sequence ran in Disney's Silly Symphony slot, as a Sunday topper for Mickey Mouse.

The strip used a number of story ideas that were ultimately abandoned in the film, including a more elaborate and comical meeting between the Prince and Snow White (in which Snow White creates a "dummy" of her dream prince, which the real Prince sneaks into), and an entire storyline in which the Evil Queen kidnaps the Prince to prevent him from saving Snow White.^[12] Both of these abandoned concepts were notably recycled for use in Sleeping Beauty.

The comic was packaged and released as a comic book in 1938, 1944, 1951, 1987 and 1995 by Whitman Comics, Dell, Gold Key, Gladstone and Marvel.^[13]

Mondadori, the Italian publisher of Disney comics, produced various stories in comic book format featuring characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for Italian (and eventually European) consumption: the first such story, originally serialized in 1939 in the weekly magazine Donald Duck and Other Adventures (Paperino e altre avventure), was Snow White and Basilisk the Wizard (Biancaneve e il mago Basilisco) by Federico Pedrocchi (script) and Nino Pagot (art), a direct sequel to the American comic strip adaptation where Snow White's infant son is kidnapped by an evil wizard and rescued by the Seven Dwarfs. The following year, Pedrocchi and Pagot produced another story starring the Seven Dwarfs. Several other Italian stories, often with scripts by Guido Martina and art by Romano Scarpa or Luciano Bottaro, were published in the 1950s and 1960s.^[14]
