Ruthie Thompson knew the Disney brothers long before they became the household names they are today. Thompson grew up near Walt and Roy when they owned their house on Kingswell Avenue in Los Angeles and was one of several neighborhood kids who served as a live-action reference model for the Disney brothers’ Alice comedies.
As an adult, Thompson was offered a job in the Walt Disney Animation Studios Ink & Paint Department. She worked at Disney for 40 years, from 1935 until she retired in 1975. Thompson famously worked on nearly every animated Walt Disney feature film from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs through The Rescuers, movies that are still household favorites to this day.

Thanks Borges.
I picked up a DVD copy at a thrift store, $3 or something. Not a great transfer, but I’m not too sure there ever was a good one. Not bad scores by the online raters, and of course, the musical score is wonderful.
