I’ve long wanted to watch all of Disney’s
animated features, but never really been able to do it. I have seen quite a few
of them, but there are some significant gaps in my watching. As it is, although
I’m watching all of them, there are some exceptions. One is Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs, not because I don’t like the film, but more because I never
picked up any of the previous DVD releases and it hasn’t yet been rereleased,
but when it is I will look at it and assess it here.
Fantasia is another exception. It’s one
I’ve never really taken to. I can see the artistic merit and the idea of
marrying pieces of classical music to the animation, but it doesn’t have a real
story and is more a series of pieces related by concept rather than what we
think of as a traditional film.
There’s probably some other gaps for
similar reasons as that and later on when Disney began their seeming intention
to take over the entire cinematic world it becomes difficult to distinguish
between what is and what isn’t a Disney film.
We started with Pinocchio.
