FILM NOTES

Shrek was released by DreamWorks Animation in May 2001, arriving at a moment when computer-generated feature filmmaking was redefining what animation could accomplish. Directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, the film subverted fairy-tale convention with wit and warmth, earning the first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and establishing DreamWorks as a genuine rival to Pixar in the field.

This cell carries the confirmed title Snow White and Dwarves and presents three frames drawn from the fairy-tale characters gathering sequence. Each frame captures Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs within the broader ensemble scene, with the repeated compositions offering the collector a layered look at a single memorable moment across three distinct strips of original 35mm film.
