Haven't heard someone offhandedly say they hadn't and it got me curious.

Seen it, and a bunch of out-takes.
Fully animated out-takes. Hours upon hours of work.
Seeing those was one of the things which convinced me I didn't want to become an animator.
The other was the system is designed such that you spend years and years becoming a great animator as an assistant, and then when you finally get to the next level, you stop doing what you just spent the last ten years learning. You draw keyframes and hand the actual animation off to assistants.
WTF?

Animation directors go from the tedium of all the inbetween work to the more creative end of developing the film in the first place. Plus, there are a number of different levels of "assistant" that you don't mention: The assistant draws important parts of the motion between key frames, while "inbetweeners" draw the more tedious three or four frames that get from key frame one and "assistant's important frame" one... Further, with a lot of animation work now done on computers, more animation directors are doing far more of the work because it takes a lot less time-and they are expensive assets.
Chuck Jones loved working in animation, and started as a "cel washer," a person who used solvents to clean the old art off of used cels so they could be reused. (Blasphemy for hard core animation fans, but that's how he started.) Then he did inbetween work, and later assistant work until he showed enough creativity to get Schlesinger to set him up with his own team. He never stopped animating, but he did more and more "writing" and less and less tedious drawing-unless he really wanted to draw more of the cartoon. Perhaps the industry is more structured today, but really good animators can do pretty much what they want with their cartoons.
Another thing about Disney cartoon production that was really well settled by the Snow White production was "character animation." They started putting teams on animating individual characters to get more consistent and smoother character art-particularly since they did a whole lot of rotoscoping for Snow White's movement. Nowadays producers use "character animators," "effects animators," "set and location animators," "machine animators..." etc. to put the right artists on the right parts of the project. These specialists are really essential to the look and feel of each feature.

I've seen enough clips over the years to make me think I've seen it, but I honestly don't know if I have. I don't really remember seeing it as a child, unlike some of the other disney movies (like Fantasia and Song of the South - yes I've actually seen it).

Well, I simplified a little. Also, this was 20 years ago, so computer horsepower wasn't what it is now.
Chuck Jones illustrates the problem I'm talking about though. I'm sure he would have done all the animation if the business model could accommodate it. With live action film, if your interest is photography or lighting, even at the pinnacle of the industry you're still more or less doing photography and lighting. Sure, you have assistants, but they're each individually responsible for a whole lot less. An assistant can't point to an entire frame and say "I did that".

Probably as a little kid? I don't remember if I have or haven't.
I know I saw Fantasia in the theater when it was re-released in 1990, when I was seven.

Assuming I have kids one way, I wonder if they will ever see Snow White.

Now seems like a germane moment to point out my joke thread is doing better than subego's serious thread. Finally, someone who makes worse threads than me.

This is bullshit.

Perhaps in quantity.
And I'm referring only within the Lounge.

I've seen all of those and more. None of the recent ones, but up through Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid. I even re-watched 101 Dalmations when the live action film came out (check out who played Jasper, the taller henchman, in the live action film!).
This interest in Disney's animated films isn't entirely because of bringing up a child, either. As stilted and "remagined" as Disney's stories were, they were all very entertaining and well made.
