An enthusiastic behind-the-scenes article from Photoplay concerning Walt Disney's 1938 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:

• "He employed 569 people who worked all day and frequently all night to finish it."
• "The film took three and half years to make and cost $1,500,000.00".
• "He concocted 1500 different paints to give it unmatched color."
• "He spent $70,000.00 developing a brand new camera to give it depth."
• "He threw away four times the drawings he made and the film he shot."
• "He made over 2,000,000 separate drawings..."

Although Disney's wife, Lilian, was said to have remarked, "No one's ever gonna pay a dime to see a dwarf picture", the movie generated more box office receipts than any other film in 1938.

In 1950, a smug critic stated that Cinderella was essentially the same movie; click here to read that review.
