Oh,
Chernabog...
You didn't read everything I said...or at least no completely carefully.
You said I was just saying it was most important because it was first, and I didn't compare it to the rest of the films.
But I said, I know there are other very important films, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid saved or revived the studio and it's animated films.
But I pointed out, if you had to find
the most important film, it is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
And I left you to think about it. I didn't write all the reasons, because in truth, there are so many possible reasons for why Snow White is so important, it could go on and on. We don't knoq what the history of cartoons, of animation, of animated movies, of movies in general, of Disney, of fairy tales, of art, of popular culture would be like without this film.
If Cinderella or other films failed, yea, maybe we wouldn't have any more Disney animated films or anymore Disney at all. So? Without Snow White we wouldn't have any other Disney animated films except that one, we may not have anymore Disney at all, and that film and all the studio's work could've gotten sold or lost or destroyed or something. And that's only one of the reasons why Snow White is the most important Disney film to the company.
And yea, Walt said he didn't want to do animated movies much anymore...after Sleeping Beauty, or maybe 101 Dalmatians, I forget, but he definately wanted to do them for a while still after Snow White.
Of course the sequels and franchises are worse than the cover art, but bad cover art is still a small disgrace to the films they grace. And no, Cinderella III is not lumped in with the disgraces of the sequels, because A) it's really good and B) it could be taken as "what if", an alternate reality, not a sequel. It changes the original's ending, and C) with the changing of time and deliberate artistic changes from the original, there is kind of an excuse for everything in Cinderella's universe to be messed up or different in this sequel. And the cover art for that one actually is good, it's got great composition and is very well drawn, getting Cinderella's face very on-model which is a rarity.
Anyway, the whole point was if we love Disney art so much, we should care about the cover art. No, not more than we care about the film itself, or other things, but logically there should be some care. And you don't know how long everyone looks at the cover art. And you know what? Lots, lots, maybe most children probably
do look at the cover art for a long time, getting all excited.
But more than that, this makes a lot of sense: Gracing the film with a good cover respects the film. It's true. I mean, that statement is just true.
I think that would be terrific! Not only just for covers, but all Disney related photoshop ideas. I think I may just start one now.
