The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs soundtrack is the music from the famous 1937 Walt Disney movie. This soundtrack was super special because it was the first time movie music was sold to the public! It came out in January 1938.
Back then, it was called Songs from Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (with the Same Characters and Sound Effects as in the Film of That Title). That's a long name! Since then, it has been re-released many times with more songs and sounds.
