Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the classic 1937 David Hand Walt Disney animated animation family romantic fairy-tale fantasy musical cartoon ("His first full length feature production"; "In the Marvelous Multiplane Technicolor"; "Behold The Miracle of the Movies! Coming to amaze you, charm you, thrill you!"; "With Eight new songs as catching as 'The Big Bad Wolf.'"; "To thrill you"; "Merriment!"; "Melody!"; "Magic!"; "The dwarfs sing their marching song on the way to work."; "Walt Disney's first full length feature production" This movie is always referred to as a "1937" movie, but it actually only had a limited opening in December 1937 (no doubt to qualify for the Oscars), and then it had its wide opening in February 1938. But because it is always referred to as being from 1937, we refer to it that way as well (and of course, it is technically correct).
Note that lobby cards from this 1944 re-release of "Snow White" are more rare than those from the first release One would surely think that far fewer theaters showed this movie in 1944 than showed it in 1937, which would likely help account for the rarity. Printed in 1943
Lobby cards were used as a form of advertising for the movie. They came in sepia color, duo-tinted and full color. Sizes were standardized to 11 by 14 inches , with the mini lobby card 8 x 10 inches. The Cards came in sets of normally 8 cards. Most are numbered. Value of the card depends on the subject content. One can be worth 50, while another 500. If there is a monster, robot or famous star pictured, it is likely worth more. Condition plays an important part, as they were used in the theaters and placed on bill boards with tacks, pins, staples and tape.
