The History of Disney's Greatest Animated Films

December 21, 1937: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Dec 21, 1937

Disney’s first major animated film. It was the first ever animated, full-length feature film. This was the start for Disney’s success in not only creating films, but for the company overall. It helped the company survive through difficult times since 1923, when the company was first established. Before the creation of Snow White, Walt Disney had been focusing on cartoon animations only.
