The TVI Take

Walt Disney bet the studio on animation carrying a full eighty minutes, and the craft is the achievement. The multiplane camera builds genuine depth in the forest-flight sequence, and the Queen's transformation into the hag still unsettles young viewers.

The story is a plain archetype, but the technical leap founded an entire art form.
