Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) – Part Two.
Welcome back to our discussion of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). This time we’re talking about making pies, rotoscoping, and just how much the Evil Queen enjoys being a crone.
Correction: During the episode, Mary misstated the name of the animator who invented rotoscoping. His name was Max Fleischer. Fleischer was the creator of Betty Boop, and contributed an enormous amount to the art of animation. You should learn more about him when you get a chance. We’re sorry for the error.

- In a deleted scene only available to our Patreon members, Mary talks about a book series she loves called The Lunar Chronicles. Book One, Cinder is a retelling of Cinderella. Book Four, Winter, is very loosely based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
