“Mirror, mirror on the wall...” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Megs & B-Tech Kev (Liam got lost singing with woodland creatures) – as we take a bite out of Disney’s first-ever animated feature in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). We’re trading in baseball gloves for poisoned apples and diving into our 270th episode as we discuss:

How Walt Disney changed cinema forever with this groundbreaking fairy tale.

Does Snow White still hold up nearly a century later?

Was the magic charming or a little too saccharine for modern tastes?

How Snow White taps into themes of innocence, envy, and female agency (or lack thereof).

Which dwarf we’d most likely be cast as – and who’s clearly Grumpy in real life.

Is this film overrated just because it was “first”?

How the Evil Queen ranks among the all-time Disney villains. What was our main complaint with her?

Speaking of complaints, what about the Prince – does he even do anything?

We've got more questions about sentient animals, and consent.

We get personal about childhood memories and Disney nostalgia.

We talk about magical mirrors, glass coffins, and the importance of whistling while you work.

Whether Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the Best Film Ever.
