1937: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
Adjusted gross: $3 billion
Unadjusted gross: $185 million
What it's about: Walt Disney's first major animated feature is a landmark that set his template of adapting dark fairy tales for audiences of all ages. Snow White's jealous stepmother despises her, so she flees to escape her wrath. Hiding in the forest, she befriends seven dwarfs — Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy and Dopey. Only a prince, however, can save her from the poisoned apple her mother secretly gives her.
