Disney has a new film—Wish, out November 22—that celebrates its 100-year history by dramatizing the fairy-tale dream of “wishing upon a star.” But the company is also dipping into its vast library in honor of this landmark year, including bringing a 4K restoration of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, its first feature-length animated film, to Disney+.
“As the very first Walt Disney feature, Mike Giaimo and I felt we owed a debt to history to get it looking as beautiful, and as accurate to the original colors, as we could. The muted palette and the delicate watercolor backgrounds evoke the illustrated fairy tales that Walt so loved, and the story and characters continue to resonate to this day.
