1937 Doneville

OK, I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. For the year 1937, since as you know I passed yet again, we only watched Snow White, a Disney classic. In fact, it was the first feature length Disney movie ever made. Of course, we've all seen it at some point in our lives, and we all know the story. Evil witch thinks she's prettiest, but no magic mirror says snow white is prettiest, evil witch hires henchman to put snow white's pretty heart in a box, henchman can't bring himself to do it, kills pig instead and put's the pigs heart in a box, snow white is scared and runs away, finds some dirty unkempt house in the woods, cleans it up and takes a nap, 7 dwarfs who whistle own the place, dwarfs and snow white become friends, witch pretends to be old woman selling apples, apples are poisoned, stupid snow white eats apple, snow white dies, witch dies and falls off cliff being chased by 7 dwarfs, prince comes and kisses snow white while she is dead, snow white is awakened from death because it was true love's first kiss, they live happily ever after.

That was one long sentence. Well, to sum it up, we both liked it better than the Best Picture that year, The Life of Emile Zola. You would too, unless you hate Disney and are into 19th Century French Literature. One funny thing we came up with during Snow White was that every one of the Dwarfs appeared to have a disability and they would make for an interesting self-contained classroom. Let's see....

Doc: Learning Disabled and Dyslexic
Grumpy: Emotional Disorder
Sleepy: Narcolepsy
Sneezy: Rare medical condition
Dopey: Developmentally Disabled (and mute)
Happy: Down's or William's syndrome (look it up)
Bashful: Autistic/Asperger's (in the socially awkward sense)

Alright, so in all seriousness, we've picked our next year and you will truly not believe it. Stay tuned!
