Part 1: 

The Disney Men, on: 

Snow White – Disney’s first feature length animation. Walt Disney himself felt that nothing he did afterwards could match up to it. Discuss.

Nathan: I think Snow White is fine. It's a pure movie about a woman living with a bunch of dwarfs. ‘Hi Ho’ is also a great song, but to think it's his best film is ridiculous. That's like me making a student short film musical and thinking it's the best thing I'll ever do. He's just wrong. Plenty of movies from Disney were better than Snow White.

Jo: So, what you’re saying is, Walt Disney was wrong … about his own work.

Nathan: Yes. He may have thought that, but time has obviously shown otherwise.

Alex: Well obviously, I feel I need to take an opposing view...though if I'm honest I agree with Adams.

Jo: Why do you think he felt that way though?

Alex: Feels like a Mona Lisa move here.. there were plenty of other greats. Feels like every artist chooses their best. I see no reason Snow White would be the best. Also, its a bit pretentious, no? The idea that from step one he was producing such fantastic stuff... he's ruling out the idea that he was ever on the learning curve, instead he got gifted by some God before he even started!

Jo: What did he make after Snow White ... Dumbo?

Nathan: Pinocchio

Jo: Why didn’t he think Pinocchio was as good then?

Nathan: He suffered from pachydermophobia [fear of elephants] which was obviously why Dumbo wasn't as good.

Jo: You made that up.

Alex: Interesting side fact. The last piece of non government regulated showings on the BBC before WW2 started was Disney. The BBC made a homage to Disney too, as the first show post-WW2 was a Disney piece. Anyway, I think Pinocchio was a bit darker. It revealed some of his darker qualities. Snow White was a simple good vs evil story.

Nathan: When I was a kid, I was terrified of chucky. That little killer doll. When I see larger than beanie baby sized dolls, I still get skeeved out. Maybe Disney felt the same about Pinocchio.

Alex: I don't know...I'm terrified of the muppets so I'm clearly biased.

Nathan: Also. There's no such thing as pink elephants. If there was, I would have one as a pet.

Alex: You've clearly never drank absinthe in a dodgy bar in Prague.

Nathan: His name would be Charles.

Alex: Charlieeee!

Nathan: And he's wear a top hat.

Jo: I dont think Charles would fit in to an apartment.

Alex: Depends if he's regular sized or not.

Nathan: I thought pink elephants were tiny. Like those little ponies.

Jo: Is it a breeding thing? Pink elephants are smaller?

Alex: If we're making him pink I think we need to play a bit fast and loose on the concept of elephant size.

Nathan: My little pony - My Little Ellie

Jo: What would the elephants be bred with to make them smaller and pink… pigs?

Nathan: Woah. That's crazy.

Alex: I think we're getting off subject here

Nathan: No.

Jo: Yes.

Alex: Pigs aren't pink. They're we'll known to be goths.

Nathan: Pigs?

Alex: Yeah

Nathan: Or pink elephants.

Alex: Same as pandas

Jo: Okay, so what are the final thoughts on Snow White?

Alex: She was a bit loose.

Nathan: If Alex were a dwarf, he'd be droopy. I'd be doc. But I'd rather not live in a house with 6 other men. Done it before. Not as clean or fun as they make it out to be.

Alex: If Nathan was a dwarf he'd be Small-Penis. The dwarfs must have had some intimacy deal worked out.

Jo: That’s it? That’s the last thought on Snow White … what you want the world to know about how you feel about the movie?

Nathan: Okay, it was great for what it started within Disney.

Alex: Also there weren't enough dwarfs in it.

Jo: Why seven?

Alex: It's the exact number needed for a satanic ritual sacrifice.

Jo: That’s not a thing.

Alex: It's absolutely a thing. I grew up in English boarding schools, I know.

Nathan: Hm. Snow White and the Apocalypse. Sequel? They sacrifice sleepy to the great horned God and three days later, the skies open.

Alex: Snow White and the revenge of Cthulhu.

THANKS BOYS. I FEEL ENLIGHTENED.
