Well, we were going to watch Mutiny on the Bounty tonight because it turns out my husband hadn't watched it yet. So, we got all set to watch it only to find out that the VCR ate the tape when I tried to rewind it. So, now, if and when we can ever get the tape out of the VCR, I'll have to take it back to the library and pay for it. Sigh.
So, we decided to skip on to the next movie, which was....(insert drumroll)....Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. For obvious reasons this movie was included on AFI's top 100 list. It made number 49. Walt Disney made a lot of firsts with this movie, not the least of which was, this movie was the first animated feature film ever. A lot of people scoffed at the idea and told him it would never be a successful film. Walt proved them wrong though and created a classic in the process.
I'd forgotten how good this movie is. It's hard to pick just one scene as my favorite because this movie has all the elements. I laughed, I was scared, I was relieved when the villain died, and I smiled at the familiar words "And they lived happily ever after." The animation is classic and I especially like the scenes where Snow White is interacting with the animals. The animals are so cute.
When Walt released his film, the United States was facing some hard times and a movie like this gave people something to hope for. The world is still facing hard times, if not harder than back when this movie was first released. This movie does its part to make your heart lighter and for a brief 67 or so minutes, helps you forget about all the bad stuff in the world. I give it a thumbs up for timelessness and for being a sweet love story. My husband also gives it a thumbs up.
The next movie on our list is only available from the library in videocassette format, so we may have to skip it and go on to one for which we can get the DVD. Stay tuned for the latest on our VCR saga.
