Snow White as a Political Allegory
OMG! I love Disney films for a couple reasons, one being that as a child you never understand some of the jokes until you watch the movie as an adult. In Snow White Doc has speaking issues and at one point he says to Snow White “What are you and who you doing?” LMFAO! However the movie has some good rules of life, such as wash b/4 dinner, work can be fun, and democracy will rule? The Queen represents anything but democracy, which is represented by Snow White. Even Grumpy comes around to loving Snow White, therefore the rest of the world will too and the Queen, I assume will fall. When the Queen threatens Snow White the forest animals pull the dwarfs towards the house in hopes to save Snow White from the evils of the Queen. I see this as Communism, or Marxism, threatening democratic states and overrunning them, and the animals as the interventionist policy of democratic states to help those countries who need help. Snow White was made in the 1930’s when Hitler and Mussolini were coming to power, therefore this representation makes since to me.
