Album Review: Snow White And The Three Stooges
Released in 1965 by an unknown artist under the label Americom 8mm, Inc. and Americom Corp., Snow White And The Three Stooges is a quirky mashup of children’s entertainment and movie effects that feels like it was beamed in from another dimension. This album doesn’t fit neatly into any box—it straddles genres like Children's and Non-Music while leaning heavily on its cinematic roots. If you’re looking for something truly bizarre yet oddly charming, this might just be your golden ticket.
The standout track (and really, the only one worth diving into) is the titular “Snow White And The Three Stooges.” It’s not so much a song as it is an audio collage of sound effects, dialogue snippets, and orchestral flourishes that evoke the slapstick chaos of the Stooges’ antics. Listening to it feels like sitting through a radio play where Snow White somehow gets roped into their shenanigans. You can almost picture Moe yelling at Larry while dwarves shuffle around in the background. It’s chaotic but strangely captivating—like watching a car crash unfold in slow motion.
Another memorable moment comes later when random bursts of laughter and exaggerated boings punctuate what sounds like a fairy tale gone wrong. These moments stick with you because they’re jarring, funny, and slightly unsettling all at once. Imagine Disney meets vaudeville, but filtered through the lens of mid-60s American kitsch. Yeah, it’s wild.
What makes this album unforgettable isn’t necessarily its quality—it’s more about how unapologetically weird it is. Who thought combining Snow White with the Three Stooges was a good idea? And why did they think people would want this as an album rather than a film? Questions like these linger long after the needle lifts off the record.
In hindsight, maybe Snow White And The Three Stooges works best as a time capsule—a snapshot of a very specific era when anything seemed possible, even if it didn’t make much sense. Or maybe it’s just proof that sometimes art doesn’t need to be polished to leave an impression. Either way, it’s a trip worth taking, even if you don’t know what hit you afterward.
