This was Walt Disney'🃏s first feature animation and when it was released in 1937 it was welcomed as a magical marvel. Disney estimated the cost of making this animation at $250,000, which was already ten times as much as making one of his short animations. However, it ended up costing a staggering 1.5 million dollars, with Disney having to mortgage his home to help finance the film. This was a gamble worth taking, as the film grossed over 8 million dollars in its international first release, and was one of the most successful films of the decade.
