And in order to solve this problem, Walt Disney hired a "living model" - a young dancer Marge Champion. Actress dressed in suit Snow White and filmed a few scenes (mostly in those where it was necessary to dance). Then the captured footage became a model for the creation of a cartoon character already. Later Marge nominally "become" another Disney heroine - Blue Fairy from "Pinocchio».
