Celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Walt Disney’s 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' 1937 An Honorary Academy Award® Winner

Exclusive Online Video and Exhibition, “Behind the Scenes of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Available This Month Only

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 6, 2007 -- To celebrate the 70th anniversary of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," Great American Ink, a Los Angeles-based vintage and contemporary animation art gallery, is holding an online video and exhibition of original production art from this historical film. Visitors can see the exclusive online video, “Behind the Scenes of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and experience the actual process used to make animated films seventy years ago. Great American Ink has also released a special anniversary limited edition cel from Snow White.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre in 1937 and attracted Hollywood’s most famous celebrities, including Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland, John Barrymore, Clark Gable and Carol Lombard.

Mingling with the stars were the anonymous makers of the film whom Walt Disney had given tickets. There was great anticipation to see how the audience would react. Animator Ward Kimball remembers the evening, “We weren’t prepared for the crying and sniffling in the audience.”

Snow White was an immediate success and remains one of the greatest animated features of all time. The film, Disney’s first full-length animated feature and a significant screen innovation, charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field.

Disney won an honorary Academy Award presented to him by Shirley Temple at the 1938 Academy Awards ceremony. The Award was not just a single Oscar statue, but eight – one full-size and seven little ones – all on the same stand. Snow White was the most successful movie released that year.

To see this exclusive and historic online video and exhibition, visit GreatAmericanInk.com or call 1-800-552-2847 to receive a complimentary DVD of “Behind the Scenes of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
