I've heard quite a few people say that Snow White's voice gets on their nerves, but it personally doesn't bother me. Although I can kind of see why her voice would annoy some people like when she hits those high notes in "Someday My Prince Will Come".
shareit was 1937
shareWhat's your point?
shareThat you can't complain about the voice
shareWhy not?
shareCause it was from 1937
shareWhat difference should that make? Or are you just trolling?
shareI was going to ask you the same thing. Complaining about the voice quality from a movie from 1937. They didn't have great technology back then. No auto tune or stuff
shareThat's true, but I wasn't personally complaining about the voice. I've just seen other people do it.
shareAh yes that is true you were not complaining. Today's animated movies are basically built around a couple songs IE Frozen, with professional singers. I think back in the day they did the best they could
shareSnow White's annoying voice wasn't just a result of bad sound equipment, the "baby-voice" thing was part of 1930s popular culture. There was a 1920s singer named Helen Kane who invented the adult woman singing in a baby-girl voice, and the makers of the Betty Boop cartoons used an imitation of her voice for Betty. So they used a similar voice for Snow White, very high and girlish, and annoying.
And they drew her to look twelve years old, as previously noted.
She's apparently supposed to be 14, though. But she looks older than that to me.

in the original film she looked VERY young and had a tiny baby voice, in all subsequent Disney drawings they made her look a few years older. I'm going to be charitable and say it was because the film was meant for a kiddie audience, and they wanted the under-ten viewers to identify with her.
Walt Disney apparently didn't intend for his films to be just for children, though. Also, she still looks like a young teen to me in that picture.
