SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (1937) BRITISH RE-RELEASE POSTER, 1951
30 x 40 in. (76 x 102 cm)
This was Walt Disney's first feature animation and when it was released in 1937 was welcomed as a magical marvel. Disney estimated the cost of making this animation at $250,000, which was already ten times as much as making one of his short animations. However, it ended up costing a staggering $1.5 million, with Disney having to mortgage his home to help finance the film. Luckily it ended up being a gamble worth taking, as the film grossed over $8 million in its international first release, and was one of the most successful films of the decade.
