15 Films That Took Major Strides In Animation
2. Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs
This Disney classic was the first of its kind and gave way to the many Disney films that would accrue money and popularity after it. Besides being the film that put animated features on the market of viability, it claimed the first entirely coloured animated film and American animated film.
It's alien to think now but Walt Disney wanted to grow his company and in doing so followed with giving this film a budget of $250,000, which was Silly Symphonies' budget tenfold.
It set the standard of adapting fables into animation and creating musical animated releases which hasn't ceased quite yet today.
Hollywood and Disney's brothers, and business partners, thought he was mad for creating a full-length celluloid picture which resulted to him mortgaging his house for millions in order to stay on the production schedule.
Lucky for him the film did well and Disney is one of the biggest brands today because of it.
