Disney Movie Challenge: Week #1

Movies of the week:

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"

"Toy Story"

What better way to kick-off our Disney Days with Candice DISNEY MOVIE CHALLENGE than with the two movies that started it all!?!  

____________________________________________________________________

HISTORY:  "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was Walt Disney's first full-length animated theatrical feature which debuted in theaters in 1937.  It was wildly popular and sparked the beginning of the animated movie craze.  Walt Disney won an honorary Academy Award in 1939 for the movie (one statuette & seven miniature statuettes) for the film due to it's significance in the industry.

THEMED MOVIE-WATCHING SNACK:  Apple Slices with Caramel Dip

Apples are the perfect snack for this Walt Disney classic, and of course a little caramel would make the perfect "poison."  If you are like me, you can take the easy way out by purchasing individual portioned, pre-sliced apple caramel dippers in the fresh produce section of the grocery store.  Another good option is an individual-size "foodles," a fun, Mickey-shaped snack pack of apple slices, grapes and cheese.

HISTORY:  "Toy Story" was the first full-length animated theatrical feature from Pixar studios released in 1995.  This movie revolutionized the world of animation with computer-based animation!  Thanks to the good folks at Pixar, animation has made a huge shift from hand-drawn slides to computer animated images.  This shift has not only taken place on the big screen, but also in the world of television.  In 1996 John Lasseter won an Academy Award for Special Achievement to recognize his development and use of techniques that made the first full-length computer animated feature possible.  The animation for this movie took more than three years to complete!

THEMED MOVIE-WATCHING SNACK:  Pizza Planets!

This is another simple, yet fun, themed snack to enjoy while watching "Toy Story".  Who doesn't love Bagel Bites!?!  I know my family does!  They are the perfect planet-shaped, bite-sized snack to eat while watching Buzz and Woody navigate the other-worldly space-port known as Pizza Planet!
