Snow White (1916)
About this film
I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, along with other pictures of the era that I find interesting, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. This classic fairy tale was legendarily cited as the picture that inspired Walt Disney to adapt classic Brothers Grimm tales. It was lost for decades because of a vault fire that destroyed a print. Fortunately, in 1992 a copy was found in Amsterdam and was restored. Contemporary reviews and box office numbers do not seem to have survived, though it obviously made an impact in many ways.
