The Seven Ravens (German: '''Die sieben Raben''') is a German stop motion-animated fairy tale film directed by the Diehl brothers. It was released in Germany on 2 December 1937. The film is notable for being an animated feature film based on a Grimms' fairy tales story which premiered only a few weeks before Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In that respect it is often cited as one of the first animated feature films.[1] [2]
The plot is based on the fairy tale of the same name which was written by the Brothers Grimm.
