IMDb Rating:
Spoof of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)’ with an all-black cartoon cast. Many WWII references, including rationing (the evil Queen is a hoarder of sugar and rubber tires) and Jeep vehicles (the Sebben Dwarfs come to the rescue in three of them). Also spoofs the extreme close-up of Kane’s lips uttering “Rosebud” in ‘Citizen Kane (1941)’.
