December 21st will mark the 70th anniversary of the premier of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Carthay Circle Theater in Hollywood, CA. It was the first feature length full color animated film and, to my mind at least, still represents the artform at the top of its game.

Their full press release is below the cut:
