It's not a myth to call Snow White the first color animated feature with optical sound, so I'm changing the lead. Lose the disc, fail to synch it up right, and bingo-bango, you don't have a talkie anymore. Second, the "audio" for Peludópolis was on disc, not integrated into the film stock. In the first place, Persepolis was monochromatic. Esn ( talk) 07:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC) Yeah, but you're really over-estimating Peludópolis and denying the historic achievement of Snow White from featuring in the lead. The problem is that this myth is so widespread that people keep changing it back. I changed the introduction to reflect that. "the first full-length animated feature with sound" -> The Wikipedia list of animated feature-length films says that there was an earlier one in 1931: "Peludópolis (Argentina), the world's first animated feature film with sound, by Quirino Cristiani". Congress and the artistic community are sympathetic to copyright claims so they likely won't have to fight too hard.- Son of lucas ( talk) 09:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Disney makes literally billions of dollars off of these characters. The Disney folks would never let their ownership of their characters and movies pass into public domain without a huge fight. I'd be shocked if it happened in my lifetime though. Can anybody confirm the film's copyright status for the article? vk6hgr 05:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC) I'm pretty sure Snow White would fall under corporate authorship, so it would be 95 years or 2032 when enters public domain. (Year of death of Walt Disney - 1966 plus 70 years) Yet the soundtrack should already be in the public domain.(Year of first publication + 50 years). If I understand copyright correctly, Copyright protection on this film in many countries will end in 2036. You can trademark a film's title, but I'm not sure if Disney was/would be able to trademark "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Is this film trademarked or just copyrighted? Georgia guy 22:26, 9 February 2007 (UTC) You can't trademark a film. Link: -Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.216.91.86 ( talk DEFINITION An animated feature film is defined as a motion picture of at least 70 minutes in running time and where a significant number of the major characters in the film are animated, and animation figures in no less than 75% of the picture's running time. One entry in the trivia section has this written: "Snow White is the first movie that follows the present rule of minimum length of an animated feature, which is at least 70 minutes in running time." Can anyone tell me where this information is taken from? According to wikipedia's entry on " feature film", "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the American Film Institute, and the British Film Institute all define a feature as a film with a running time of forty minutes or longer."

Confirm & include? Trekphiler 07:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC) Mention should be made of the writer of the music and songs in Snow White ("One Song", "Some Day My Prince Will Come", "I'm Wishing", "With a Smile and a Song", "Whistle While You Work", "Heigh Ho (Dwarfs' Digging and Marching Song) ", "Bluddle-uddle-um-dum (Dwarfs' Washing and Yodel Song) ", "(Isn't This) A Silly Song", "Snow White (Overture) ", "Music in Your Soup" and "You're Never Too Old to Be Young") It's Frank Churchill (born 20 October 1901, Rumford, Maine, USA, died, Castaic, California, USA). I've heard the film was the first to have a soundtrack album lifted directly from the audio track.
