00:00Snow White terrified the Disney animators.
00:03Snow White didn't nearly kill Disney financially, but psychologically.
00:06When Disney launched Snow White in 1934, nobody believed in the project.
00:10Even the studio presenters are panicking.
00:12And why? Because for the first time,
00:14They have to animate a character that is human, realistic, and for 80 minutes.
00:18At the time, Disney animation relied on exaggeration.
00:21But here, the slightest missed glance makes Snow White seem strange, empty, almost unsettling.
00:26The presenters are talking amongst themselves about the Snow White Problem.
00:29Walt Disney then introduced a new method, rotoscoping.
00:33Filming real actors to study their movements.
00:35And after months of work thrown in the trash,
00:37Scenes completely redone, animators in burnout.
00:40And this anxiety creates something new: emotional credibility.
00:44Snow White wasn't just the first Disney feature film,
00:47This was the film that forced animation to become much more adult.
