In Donald Barthelme’s novel Snow White, the main character Snow White contradicts the traits of a stereotypical 1960’s housewife. These traits, given to her by the author, differ from a typical 1960s housewife in appearance, demeanor, and priorities.

Almost as soon as the office became their studio Walt and Roy began bringing about their first series of films denominated: Alice’s Wonderland. Even though the brothers didn’t make much money the first year, they stayed confident, and Walt told his father, with his typical optimism, that he would “ make the name Disney famous around the world”. At first Walt produced much of the company’s animation, but he soon realized that there were other artists more talented than he. So he turned to directing the animators the studio hired. As Walt focused on the creative side of the company, Roy dealt with all the financial elements; trying to keep Walt - who hardly worried about money - to a budget. In 1940 two animated films brought in less money than they cost to make.

In 1952 WED Enterprises was established and began working on Walt’s latest idea: a theme park called Disneyland. Disneyland’s opening on July 17 in 1955, was less than p...
Walt wanted each of the dwarfs in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” to be a distinct individual. The solution was to create names for them that would reflect their personalities. (Miller NP) "Snow White," which took three years to make, was released in 1937. This was the beginning of what we all know today as Disney movies.

Disney has made it his life 's goal to create home entertainment for both young and old.

In the past the Disney’s version of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” has been recognized as being the original story of Snow White even though it was produced in 1937, a hundred and twenty-five years after the original. The Newest version of Snow White called “Mirror, Mirror” came along in 2012, exactly two hundred years after the Brothers Grimm’s version was published.

"Snow White and the Seven dwarfs" changed history because it was the first full-length animated movie to be made in full color.

The fairytale is a story about a Queen who seeks to be the prettiest by constantly asking her mirror “Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?.” Initially it was always her; however, as the story progresses and as her stepdaughter Snow White matures, the mirror states that Snow White is the fairest. This causes the step-mother to try to kill Snow White through a huntsman, using a comb, a corset, and finally an apple. This mirror phrase seems to raise more and more anger the more it is asked. One could assume that the mirror is the judging factor in the phrase, but after a closer look on a psychological level, the
Two brothers Walt and Roy Disney founded Disney Brothers Cartoon studio on October 16, 1923 in Los Angeles, California. It started when Walt Disney was contracted to write the Alice comedies, which is the foundation of the film Alice in wonderland.
