Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on the 21st of December, 1937. It went into wide release in the United States on the 4th of February, 1938. Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, and Charles Laughton were among the audience at the premiere.
The film's total production cost was $1,488,422.74. International box office receipts reached $7,846,000 by the end of its original theatrical run, making it the highest-grossing film of 1938. Adjusted for inflation, it remains the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Adriana Caselotti voiced Snow White. She first auditioned in September 1934, was cast exactly one year later in September 1935, and was paid $970 in total across forty-four days of recording sessions. Lucille La Verne voiced both the Queen and the Witch.
Walt Disney received an Honorary Academy Award at the 11th Academy Awards for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The award consisted of one full-size Oscar statuette and seven miniature ones, presented to Disney by ten-year-old actress Shirley Temple. The film was also nominated for Best Musical Score.
Industry insiders mocked the project because no one believed an animated feature film could hold an audience's attention. Hollywood figures told Disney that an hour and a half cartoon would cause audiences to walk out. Both Disney's wife Lillian and his brother Roy tried to talk him out of making it.
The United States Library of Congress selected Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1989, naming it culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. It was among the first twenty-five films chosen when the registry was established.
