In 1939 Walt Disney received an Honorary Award for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for being a significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field. In 1938 it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Music, Score. The "special" Academy Award granted to the picture consisted of one regular sized award and seven smaller sized awards. Convinced that it would fail, the Hollywood film industry labeled the film “Walt Disney’s Folly.” Pinto Colvig, who voiced Sleepy and Grumpy, was the voice of Goofy. Snow White was the first film to ever have a soundtrack recording album released for it. At a recording session, Lucille La Verne, the voice of the Wicked Queen, was told by Walt Disney's animators that they needed an older, raspier version of the Queen's voice for the Old Witch. Ms. Laverne stepped out of the recording booth, returned a few minutes later, and gave a perfect "Old Hag's voice" that stunned the animators. When asked how she did it, she replied, "Oh, I just took my teeth out. It was the first of many Disney films to have its premiere engagement at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. At the end of the film's initial engagement there, all the velvet seat upholstery had to be replaced. It seems that young children were so frightened by the sequence of Snow White lost in the forest that they wet their pants, and consequently the seats, at each and every showing of the film.
