20. “The innovation of the Disney film was that Disney’s heroine awakened as the result of human contact, and the kiss, symbolic of true love, initiated a lifelong union between the heroine and her chosen mate. The change reflected the romantic myth in its American, rather than its European, form.” (Wright, 105)Wright, Terry Martin. “Romancing the Tale.” Journal of Popular Film & Television 25.3 (1997): 98. Film & Television Index with Full Text. Web. 25 Oct. 2015.

Like the slightly out-of-focus background cels stacked downward on the apparatus of the multiplane camera, the narrative of the production of Snow White is yet visible in the animation of the story itself.” (Chadwell, 2008)Chadwell, Sean. 2008. “Technological Determinism and the Poisoned Apple: The Case of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture 8, no.2: MLA International Bibliography EBSCOhost (accessed October 25, 2015).
22. “…the dwarfs in Snow White were symbolic of American workers who pulled together during the Great Depression can only be interpreted as a reference to the labor union movement at the time….Labor songs abounded in the depression era, and Walt Disney captured this aspect of American society.” (Wright, 107)Wright, Terry Martin. “Romancing the Tale.” Journal of Popular Film & Television 25.3 (1997): 98.
