THE FAIREST tells the story of the women who painted Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the summer heat of 1937, with little pay and no credit (women weren’t allowed to be animators). A talented young inker and painter loaded with self-doubt, jealousy, and social anxiety, and OCD (practically undiagnosable in the 1930s), is tasked with painting hundreds of frames of “a perfect fairytale woman.” As an imaginary friendship between her and the first Disney princess develops, it turns out this version of Snow White is not very kind.
