Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures.
[1] In 1989, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
[2] In late October 2016, a live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was announced, with Erin Cressida Wilson writing the script and Marc Platt producing.
The remake expands upon the story of the 1937 film, and includes new songs written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
The comic strip was written by Merrill de Marris and drawn by Hank Porter, both staff at Walt Disney Pictures.
[13] Mondadori, the Italian publisher of Disney comics, produced various stories in comic book format featuring characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for Italian (and eventually European) consumption: the first such story, originally serialized in 1939 in the weekly magazine Donald Duck and Other Adventures (Paperino e altre avventure), was Snow White and Basilisk the Wizard (Biancaneve e il mago Basilisco) by Federico Pedrocchi (script) and Nino Pagot (art), a direct sequel to the American comic strip adaptation where Snow White's infant son is kidnapped by an evil wizard and rescued by the Seven Dwarfs.
Snow White appeared in the 27th episode of the American animated television series Sofia the First, "The Enchanted Feast".
The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster opened in 2013 as part of the New Fantasyland expansion at Magic Kingdom.
Snow White, her Prince, the Queen (both in the form of a regent and a hag), and the Seven Dwarfs are also featured in parades and character appearances throughout the parks.
Music and lyrics for four new songs were created by Jay Blackton and Joe Cook, respectively; titles included "Welcome to the Kingdom of Once Upon a Time" and "Will I Ever See Her Again?".
A world based on the movie, Dwarf Woodlands, appears in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PlayStation Portable, and in Kingdom Hearts χ for mobile devices, both games incorporating the Seven Dwarfs, the Queen, the Magic Mirror (also serving as a boss enemy in Birth by Sleep), and the Prince.
It was released in January 1938 as Songs from Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (with the Same Characters and Sound Effects as in the Film of That Title) and has since seen numerous expansions and reissues.
