By Mulder, 15 february 2024
In a whimsical celebration of cinematic history, the LEGO Group has announced the release of the enchanting LEGO|Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Cottage set. Paying homage to the iconic 1937 Disney Animation film, this meticulously crafted 2228-piece set captures the essence of the beloved characters and scenes from the animated classic.
The set includes 10 intricately designed minifigures, featuring Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs, the Prince, the Queen with the infamous red apple, and various animal companions. Additionally, a charming wishing well with a dove and the glass box portraying Snow White's awakening are among the enchanting details. Nestled in the heart of an enchanted forest, the cottage faithfully recreates the film's memorable locations, including the bedroom with seven beds, and the room housing a pipe organ, baking table, sink, and cupboards.
Available exclusively for LEGO Insiders from March 1st, 2024, at www.LEGO.com/Snow-White, and for the general public from March 4th, 2024, the set is priced at €219.99 / £189.99 / $219.99. The dimensions of the set are L: 35 cm, H: 20 cm, W: 20 cm, making it a captivating addition for fans aged 18 and above.
The announcement of this LEGO set coincides with the timeless legacy of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in cinematic history. Released in 1937 as the first American animated feature film, the movie marked a revolutionary moment for Walt Disney Productions. Premiering at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles, the film exceeded expectations by earning over $8 million against its $1.5 million budget, establishing Disney's dominance in animated filmmaking.
Walt Disney's decision to adapt the Brothers Grimm's 1812 German fairy tale was driven by childhood memories of the 1916 silent film version starring Marguerite Clark. Despite industry skepticism, Disney's dedication to a compelling narrative with elements of humor and tragedy resulted in a groundbreaking film that became a cultural phenomenon.
Recognizing the cultural significance of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," the United States Library of Congress honored the film in 1989. The American Film Institute also hailed it as one of the greatest American films, further cementing its enduring impact. The success of "Snow White" paved the way for Disney's future triumphs in animated filmmaking and inspired adaptations, theme park attractions, a Broadway musical, and a forthcoming live-action film.
Walt Disney's visionary approach to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" not only marked a cinematic milestone but also showcased his commitment to storytelling and innovation. Overcoming initial setbacks and industry skepticism, Disney's perseverance and meticulous planning set new standards for animation, emotionally engaging audiences and shaping the future of the animation industry. As the LEGO Group invites fans to recreate the magic with their new set, it stands as a testament to the enduring charm and influence of this timeless animated classic.
