All the way back in 1949, Walt Disney released this full-length animated movie about the well-known fairy tale, making an instant classic that has informed the imaginations of youngsters ever since. You’d think today’s youngest eyes would look upon a film this old and see something hopelessly dated and static. But no – the animation is fluid, the story magical, and even if the underlying message is anything but feminist, it’s all but impossible to resist its charms.
