Which Fortune 500 company created the Walt Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937?

The story behind the answer

The Walt Disney Company created Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937.

The film was produced by Walt Disney Productions and became the first full-length cel-animated feature film in the English-speaking world. It adapted elements from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale while adding songs, comic characters, and a feature-length narrative.

Production was considered risky because many observers doubted that audiences would watch a feature made entirely with animation. The film became a major commercial and cultural success, helping establish Disney as a leading animation studio.

It is often called Disney’s first feature-length animated film, not the first animated feature ever made. Earlier animated features had been produced elsewhere, including Argentina’s El Apóstol in 1917, which is now lost.
