The Seven Ravens (German: Die sieben Raben) is a German stop motion-animated fairy tale film directed by the Diehl brothers (Diehl Film). It was released in Germany on 2 December 1937. The film is notable for being an animated feature film based on a Grimm brothers' fairy tale of the same name, premiering 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.
