Largely it succeeds because it really is a great deal of fun.

Reviews for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Top CriticThis story has it all: brilliant characters and a wonderful, satisfying story.
03/03/08
Top Critic...the animation itself is top-notch, and in a number of darker sequences (Snow White's terrified entry into the forest, for example), Disney's adoption of Expressionist visual devices makes for genuinely powerful drama.
06/24/06
Top CriticThere are only a tiny number of films that have come anywhere close to equaling its achievement.
10/28/09
It luxuriates in the art of animation, watching the various animals race through the woods, or watching Snow White running scared from an array of imaginary horrors.
10/10/09
the film's overall effect is undeniable, not only on the history of cinema as a whole, but in each new viewing that reveals another dimension or additional detail, the sum total of which is one of the true cinematic masterpieces
10/10/09
Great movie, great treatment, but if you're particular about your collection, know that the combo pack is available in both DVD and Blu-ray packaging.
10/10/09
It is Snow White's afterbirth that merits both canonization and destruction.
10/06/09
One of the most important films in the history of popular cinema, and film fans must never forget the incredible achievement it was in 1937. [Blu-ray]
10/06/09
This is both an entertaining old movie and a significant historical document. If you love film, then you must see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
09/29/09
Always a classic
12/29/07
It's a delighful family fantasy film that is timeless, one that both children and adults can enjoy.
07/05/07
In addition to its historical value as the first animated feature, it is still a delight, with memorable songs and characters.
06/30/07
So perfect is the illusion, so tender the romance and fantasy, so emotional are certain portions when the acting of the characters strikes a depth comparable to the sincerity of human players, that the film approaches real greatness.
06/28/07
Top CriticYou've probably seen it 15 times by now, so why not make it 16?
06/28/07
Most remarkable in Snow White's romps through the forest with her pack of animal pals, Disney's brilliant cell animation has rarely been equaled.
