“SNOW WHITE” STATISTICS
Walt Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” which will open at the State Theatre on Monday and which runs well over an hour, is composed of over 250,000 drawings, with a musical background provided by an orchestra of 80 musicians.
As many as 750 artists worked on the production, which has been in the making since 1934. These consisted of 32 animators, 102 assistants, 167 inbetweeners (at filling in bits of acing water colour backgrounds, 65 eftion), 20 lay-out artists, 25 artists defects animators (those who draw smoke, water, clouds, etc.), and 158 young women adept at inking and painting the Disney figures on transparent celluloid sheets. Counting all of the preliminary sketches, and figuring that each was re-drawn three or four times, it has been estimated that at least two million drawings were turned out during the making of “Snow White.” It is estimated that the production has entailed a cost of £300,000.
Warners has decided definitely to star Errol Flynn in both “Dodge City” and “The Sea Hawk”—it was at first thought that Ronald Colman would star in “Dodge City."
