    Gaga is a new addition...why would she be getting as much as Joaquin and Phil?


    Because she is his co-Star, equally did the work (especially if there is dance and song routines involved), and 10000000000% a draw onto herself. Y’all think some would sit through this without her? 
     

    Also, you know, women, historically, getting paid less for doing the same thing in this industry!!!

    The more I think about it, the more I realize they not only aren't hiding the musical aspect, they're leaning heavily into it.

     

    The opening shots of the color coded umbrellas are highly reminiscent of a choreographed musical number. 

     

    The opening dialogue talks about The Power (and Importance) of Music.

     

    The opening notes lead up to an iconic song of the 20th century.

     

    Hell, the entire middle of the trailer is straight out of a song and dance number, right down to the spotlighted buildup of a main character. 

     

    The only thing the film didn't do is have one of the characters turn to camera and say "THIS *IS* SPARTA A MUSICAL!!!"

     

    Now unlike you, I don't know enough about the History of Musicals to be able to tell just exactly what they were channeling here.  But it was clear as day to me what type of film this is gonna be.


    it’s giving me such All The Jazz vibes. Like I want the whole movie to just be Bye Bye Love on steroids.

    I stopped going into the movies (or like watching movies honestly) sometime in November.

     

    This will be an appointment viewing.

     

    i don’t really care about Joker, nor am I interested in the rest of it, but those musical sequences look amazing. The lighting is kind of perfect.  There is a good old school Freed feel without it feeling forced. Perfect last shot of the trailer.
     

    Although I don’t understand why she’s not a doctor. Hate that for her. That’s disappointing. But I’m ready for a musical.

    bwahahaha go off king.

     

    I can’t watch that movie anymore. That was like my suicidal movie in high school. But I was like it’s time to commit suicide this week, I’d watched that and like worked through my feelings.

    Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

    858 points, 17 lists

    "I'm awfully sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you. But you don't know what I've been through. And all because I was afraid."

    il_fullxfull.1541362929_cd8l.jpg

    Box Office: 418M

    Rotten Tomatoes: 97%

    Metacritic: 96

    Awards: 1 Academy Award and 1 nomination, 

     

    Roger Ebert's Review: "Walt Disney often receives credit for everything done in his name (even sometimes after his death). He was a leader of a large group of dedicated and hard-working collaborators, who are thanked in the first frames of “Snow White,” before the full credits. But he was the visionary who guided them, and it is a little stunning to realize that modern Disney animated features like “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King” and “Aladdin,” as well as the rare hits made outside the Disney shop, like Dreamworks' “Shrek” and Pixar's “Toy Story,” still use to this day the basic approach that you can see full-blown in “Snow White.”"

     

    Its Legacy: The one that started it all. Influences almost every Disney animated movie, if not every animated movie ever made. The highest-grossing animated film when adjusted for inflation. Earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1987. The first film to be entirely scanned to digital files, manipulated, and recorded back to film in 1993. "Some Day My Prince Will Come" became a jazz standard. Called the greatest film of all time by Sergei Eisenstein. Inspired the production of The Wizard of Oz. #49 on AFI's Top 100 Movies and #34 on the 2007 edition. Found all throughout the Disney parks. Appeared in Kingdom Hearts. A remake is set for release in 2025. Gave Lucille La Verne a paycheck.

     

    Commentary: Yeah, you knew this was coming. In all honesty, it would be almost sacrilegious not to have this movie in particular in the top 100 in some capacity, as this is the most important Disney film ever. Better yet, one of the most important movies ever. A lot of the claims made on this are somewhat inaccurate. It wasn’t the first animated movie ever made. From a certain perspective, it’s not even the first movie Disney released. It's not even the first time Snow White was put into animation. Thank you Betty Boop. But in our hearts, this is the one movie where everything started. And what it started was just, simply put, incredible.

     

    87 years later, it’s still an amazing, beloved feature. One that people still watch and adore, one that influences pretty much every animated movie ever made in some way, and one that is still lucrative. Both in the merchandise, and with an upcoming remake set for release next year. And in many ways, it’s incredible that those Disney artists were able to pull this off on their first try. Sure, these days it’s pretty simple and basic, but these artists and storytellers, who at that point only did 5 minute shorts, managed to craft something amazing with little knowledge of feature-length storytelling. The animation is gorgeous, there’s so many fun and inventive setpieces, and the story offers tons of solid emotional pathos and charm that it’s impossible not to be sucked into something so simplistic.

     

    Of course the one thing everybody remembers are all the characters, who really do help make this a wonderful package. The kind-hearted and lovable Snow White herself, who represents the beauty and kindness we should all hope to achieve. The wicked Evil Queen, who revels in her villainy and boasts two iconic, incredible designs that gave some kids nightmares. And of course, those wonderful seven dwarfs who steal the show. Giving us incredible laughs, wonderful sequences, and the most empathetic moments in the film.

     

    It laid the groundwork for all of our favorite Disney films. Whether they be animated, live-action, for kids, for adults, whatever. And it’s easy to see why. Within all the bright colors and silly scenarios is a film that touches the heart and inspires us all, like any great fairy tale should. And it was just one of many more in the decades to come.
