Joan Gratz wins Oscar

In 1993, Joan Gratz won an Oscar for her film, "Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase". Joan was a long time artist with Will Vinton Studios and has created many films and commericials with her clay painting technique.

[@leejones8582]

The woman who voice Snow White Adriana Caselotti, in the film was not happy about this she was still alive and wanted to do it.

[@hector961]

Did you ask her?

[@leejones8582]

@@hector961 Yeah lol

[@maledollmaker]

They replaced her with Mary Kay Bergman.

[@christycapers4715]

I mean the nerve! Disney basically wanted to own all rights to Caselotti’s voice to prevent her from getting other work, and then they replaced her!

[@blakegriplingph]

@@christycapers4715 I recall a similar issue with Jason Zumwalt who politely refused to do a Roman Bellic voice greeting, saying that Rockstar Games has the copyrights to that performance.

[@Joshua_Quinzel_Isley]

I gotta say, the animation on Snow White is superb, she looks beautiful and Mary Kay Bergman did a nice job voicing her.

[@andrewscungio3200]

Mary Kay Bergman also did the first few seasons of south park on Comedy Central before her passing.

[@Joshua_Quinzel_Isley]

@@andrewscungio3200 That's true.

[@Abranime18]

I found curious that Snow White dress looks exactly like Belle's yellow glown, but in an ironic way, this is white.

[@SuperWolsey]

Abe Israeli funny most of the comments say this when Beauty and the Beast didn't come out for another 2-3 years by this point (and The Little Mermaid the same year as the Oscar telecast)

[@n0rr3t14]

@@SuperWolsey Well this happened in 1993. Beauty and the Beast premiered in 1991. And Belle and Beast presented at the Oscar's in 1992. So Snow definitely stole the look from Belle because Belle is far superior and Snow's original dress is tacky.

[@dominikkadlec4535]

Snow's dress here looks a lot like Belle's, only it's white (fittingly enough)

[@emiliobello2538]

Oscars need to have more animated appearances

[@cfisler1]

It's that Snow White has her dress like belle's dress, And Snow white is presenting for best animated short.

[@Unownshipper]

I don't blame poor Mary Kay Bergman for this, she was just a struggling actress doing a job and wouldn't you feel honored to voice Snow White? I blame Jeffrey Katzenberg, not for any deliberate malicious intent, but for a lack of sensitivity. It would have been a wonderful crowning achievement for Adriana Caselotti, who was still active and melodious in 1992, to be able to voice the character that put feature animation on the map at the Oscars. I also blame whoever did the animation, that did NOT match the Disney standards.

[@AndrewsMagicandMore]

Unownshipper What's interesting is that Adriana was the only voice personnel for the film that had lived through all the film's theatrical releases in America from the film's 1937 premiere through the first digital remaster in 1993; she died in the year 1997 when the film was to turn 60 years old

[@ggt47]

Unownshipper Awh,. I would not mind she still sounded like I would honored to play Snow White even though I am boy.

[@marielkayhedbergman]

Unownshipper i also suffer of the same problems that Mary Kay Bergman suffered

[@SuperWolsey]

Between Katzenberg's ego and Allan Carr's, I don't which one is the biggest idiot who truly didn't deserve a career to begin with

[@JadStaAna]

Awwwwwww

[@Omegajunior2658]

Snow White looks absolutely beautiful. I love her white gown and it is very similar to Belle's except Belle's gown is yellow. She wears a tiara instead of a red bow on her hair. Snow White is one of my favourite Disney princeses along with Aurora, Ariel, Belle and Jasmine. Anyway good evening from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@Jarod-te2bi]

I love to see animated characters in the Oscars, this is when people in Hollywood still have respect for animation.

[@rolando90s]

that's right. Jarrod. right now hollywood don't care animation anymore because it's for children and babies.

[@cesarjimenezanimator]

Snow White looks beautiful... but that sounds NOTHING like her!

[@nicholasdruce5346]

She sounds like Princess Aurora.

[@Mad-Hatter-ison]

There were sone reasons why, apparently the company want the original va to voice her character and nothing else

[@nicholasdruce5346]

Wrong sounding Muppets from Family Guy.

[@austinpearce5442]

JIMENOPOLIX it was Mary Kay Bergman doing the voice

[@bimbrochlej]

"Mona Lisa Descending a staircase" is a masterpiecie! Well-deserved Oscar.

[@djdavemick]

I remember watching this back in '93--Snow White's part was pre-recorded.

[@Rose-qo8ic]

She looks like a mix of Cinderellas voice and necklace belles body and dress and Snow Whites hair and face 😕

[@ggt47]

Disneyfantasmic fan Mmh,if only Aurora's singing voice.

[@maledollmaker]

Her voice was Mary Kay Bergman, best known as every female voice in South Park in the early seasons. Also Dr Blight in Captain Planet.

[@MoonLoonie69]

RIP Bergman

[@Joshua_Quinzel_Isley]

She was such a good actress and a real nice person.

[@BadIdeaBearCub]

Yes she doesn't look like the original character and she is over-animated in this sequence. She looks more like as if she came from "Who framed Roger Rabbit" or "Cool World" than from the 1937 Disney movie.

Seen in 1993 to celebrate the 55(6)th anniversary of disney's first animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven darfs, which would be re-released on July 2nd, 1993. Featuring the voice talent of Mary Kay Bergman as Snow White.

[@hypnoticpoison4623]

I'm sorry, I don't understand, did real people sit there and watched an empty stage (because Snow must have been drawn and shown later, on tv) or what?

[@cstoczyn]

HAPPY 85th ANNIVERSARY. OSCARS!!!!

[@animaholicblog]

The others shortfilms nominated that year were also worth of Oscar!

[@jacksparrowguy]

This was a good idea for the show, but she sounds nothing like the original. Plus, I read that this was the last time the academy ever used snow white because while editing this clip before the awards, the character had froze in mid sentence before saying the winner. If you listen to that particular part, you'll hear a sort of glitch in the speech as she says the winner.

[@liamcampbell9951]

I can tell and hear that does not sound like Disney's Snow White voice at all. Guess maybe made her older like Cinderella instead of her original (which it what I like better), but will somebody please tell me who voiced her in here, It might be Adrianna Caselotti in her old age, or maybe Mary Kay Bergman.

[@WWChampion16]

It was Mary Kay Bergman. Disney was sent hundreds of complaints because of this.

[@ggt47]

Rainbow Dash 4Ever ...yes...obviously/understandable.

[@nicholasdruce5346]

Sounds like a cross between Cinderella, and Princess Aurora.

[@DevinQuigleyArt]

Sounds like she DID get a little older; I guess cartoon characters age more slowly than humans.

[@Abranime18]

Yeah, but Yeah, but after all they are cartoons, they are not real, so I dont think they angina 😉

[@darreylhenderson8979]

This is a different voice actress then her original.

[@blakegriplingph]

I could chalk it up to that.

[@prowolf633]

They should really do this again in future award shows! I would love to see Nimona, The Bad Guys, Tiana, other 2D Disney princesses, and the Spider Gang from the Spider-Verse movies in animated form!

[@M0tt0ri]

1:08 Oh... Isn't the animation different in this point? I wonder if they had a few mouth motions that were changed depending of the winner... 🤔🤔🤔

Why is Snow moving so much?

She looks like an odd cross between snow white and bell. He forehead is to big and her eyes have been changed from their realistic oval shape to the typical Disney arch.

Poor Adriana Cassalotti! Someone said she was pretty upset she didn’t get to voice Snow here… Imagine being literally known as the actual voice of a character for years and get completely screwed over out of nowhere having someone else just dub the character, and she was still around back then! She should of done it… :/ C’mon Disney, really? I mean I know Mary tried but she doesn’t sound anything like the character…

[@ottagol1985]

So this was the clip that nearly killed Mary Kay Bergman's career before it started?

[@queen-elsa-arendelle]

"I'm not getting any younger anymore," So that explains why you don't sound as squeaky as Betty Boop, right?

[@jacksparrowguy]

This is a good improvement for the Oscar's use of the character since the corny production number with Rob Lowe back at the 61st Oscar awards. This is how the character should be portrayed on shows like this.
