Disney's Marvel Adventure Park is the happy result!"

1944 - Snow White Returns

Prior to 1944, it was not common for a film to return to theaters once its initial run was over. Regardless of how beloved or successful a movie became, audiences weren't guaranteed to ever see it again once its original release was finished.

 

In 1944, however, Walt Disney Productions decided to test out a reissue of  Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In the seven years that had passed since the original release, a new generation of children had grown up never having seen the film.

 

The reissue was a huge success, starting a tradition that continues until today, with DVD and Blu-ray reissues of Disney's biggest hits.

1942 - Bambi

In 1942, Bambi, the first feature length Disney film that doesn't depict humans was released in theaters.

 

The film was one of Disney's more realistic depictions of nature. The animators carefully studied real animals, taking lessons from the Chouinard Art Institute.
