Particulars:

• In June 1937, animator Ward Kimball is called to the office of his boss, Walt Disney. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", Walt's first animated feature, is running long, and the master storyteller feels the film must return to the Evil Queen. The scene Ward has worked on for months -- intended to follow the scene where the Dwarfs wash for dinner -- has to be cut.

• The scene, never finished beyond pencil-test form, went into the vault. Instead of being forgotten, the scene developed legendary status among Disney enthusiasts, who began to call it "The Lost Soup Scene".

• In the delightful scene, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs sit down for their dinner of soup, and soon the slurping and clinking turns into a song, at least until Dopey swallows his spoon. It's a tour de force of comic characterization, slapstick gags, and brilliant animation. Walt Disney never forgot the "soup scene" and presented it on his television show (still in pencil) in 1957.
