Let's just get that out of the way.
So, there is a lot of singing. That was to be expected. But Snow White does not only sing, she also speaks in rhyme. And she whistles (while she works)! Also, she is very ditzy. But the girl knows how to keep house, you have to give her that.
The evil presence - the nemesis, if you will - is the step mother and/or witch. Cleverly disguised as, well, a witch she comes to call upon poor innocent Snow White to take care of the girl herself, after her trusted huntsman failed to kill the princess. That sap!
This film was made in much more innocent time, when animated films were aimed at children and the bad people could only be a little scary. It foremost is a kids film, what with all the cute animals and sweet songs and adorable dwarfs.
Beside the queen, the dwarfs and the animals you have everything else of the original fairy tale - the talking mirror, the fake heart, the poisonous apple, Prince Charming. And in the end, good prevails and the scares are kept to a kid friendly minimum.
Well worth seeing, if only for the historical value.
8/10
