...films and six Silly Symphonies every year. Were Disney to undertake the involved processes of drawing, coloring, photographing the 15,000 sketches that go into one of these shorts, the feat would approach Michelangelo's job on the Vatican ceiling. Released this week was the latest Disney venture, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the most ambitious animated cartoon ever attempted. It took Disney's many hands over three years to make...

...often gets his words and ideas mixed. Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Happy, Bashful and Dopey, who did not know if he could talk because he never tried. Squatty and bearded, looking much alike except for Dopey who, being younger, has no beard, the seven dwarfs have timid hearts: they know Snow White is the Queen's step-daughter and will not keep her till she promises to make gooseberry pie. Snow White will not let them eat until they wash their hands...
