Have any of you watched ‘Disney Through the Decades’ on the Snow White 2 disc set? My god, it’s supposed to be about the company’s work from the beginning and ends up like a parody of their ruthless marketing skills. And although it’s not even a documentary just about Snow White, it goes something like this…
In 1937 came a revolution in filmmaking with Snow White. People all over the world discovered the magic of a full length Disney animated feature.
Cue Snow White Trailer!
1938, 39, blah, blah, Pinnochio not as successful, blamed on the war, blah, blah.
And then, in 1947 Walt Disney gave a new generation of film-goers a unique opportunity to discover the magic with Snow White.
Cue Snow White Trailer!
Disney on TV, blah, blah, but not as powerful as their unique movie work, blah blah
And then… in 1951 Walt Disney gave a new generation of film-goers a unique opportunity to discover the magic with Snow White.
Cue Snow White Trailer!
Disneyland planned some live action, etc, which initially didn’t capture the audience’s hearts like their original feature.
And then… in 1954 Walt Disney gave a new generation of film-goers a unique opportunity to re-discover the magic with Snow White.
Cue another full Snow White Trailer!
And then… in 1962 Walt Disney opened Disneyland in Florida. Without wishing to alienate those who couldn’t make the trip, he gave a new generation of film-goers a unique opportunity to re-discover the magic with Snow White.
Cue another full Snow White Trailer!
And then… in 1968 Walt Disney died. As a tribute to the great man, Disney gave a new generation of film-goers a unique opportunity to re-discover the magic with Snow White.
Cue another full Snow White Trailer!
And then… in 1989 Walt Disney opened Disneyland in Paris. Without wishing to alienate those who couldn’t make the trip to either Orlando or France, Disney decided to give a new generation of film-goers a unique opportunity to re-discover the magic with Snow White.
Cue another full Snow White Trailer!
And then in 2001, Disney gave DVD owners a unique opportunity to rediscover the magic!!!
Etc, etc. I had to turn it off, never reached the end, so some of the above is a complete fiction. But I’m not kidding about the jist of it or all those ruddy trailers!
