The movie was adapted by Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith from the Snow White fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm. The names of the dwarves (Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy) were created for this production. The film was directed by David Hand.

Walt Disney had to mortgage his house to pay for the film's production.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length animated feature and won an honorary Academy Award for Walt Disney "as a significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field." Disney received a full-size Oscar statuette and seven miniature ones, presented to him by Shirley Temple.

The movie was also nominated for Best Music, Score. Well-known songs from the film include: "Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! (It's off to work we go)," "Some Day My Prince Will Come," and "Whistle While You Work."

There is an easy way to remember the names of the dwarves. There are three emotions (Happy, Grumpy, Bashful), two D's (Dopey, Doc), and two S's (Sleepy, Sneezy).
