To say of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that it is among the genuine artistic achievements of this country takes no great daring.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
So perfect is the illusion, so tender the romance and fantasy, so emotional are certain portions when the acting of the characters strikes a depth comparable to the sincerity of human players, that the film approaches real greatness.
John C. Flinn Sr., Variety

You've probably seen it 15 times by now, so why not make it 16?
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

...the animation itself is top-notch, and in a number of darker sequences (Snow White's terrified entry into the forest, for example), Disney's adoption of Expressionist visual devices makes for genuinely powerful drama.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

It is a classic, as important cinematically as The Birth of a Nation or the birth of Mickey Mouse.
