Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a young girl named Snow White. She was known for her beauty and kind heart. However, Snow White's life took a magical turn when an evil queen became jealous of her and decided to get rid of her. The queen planned to poison Snow White with an enchanted apple. One day, as Snow White was wandering through the forest, she stumbled upon a small cottage. The cottage was surrounded by seven tiny beds and appeared to be the home of seven dwarfs.
Snow White was another fun TV movie starring Kristin Kreuk (Smallville). I always like it when a version attempts to add in some new twists, and in this Snow White, her father is alive, which makes for an interesting take on the timeless tale.
I had no idea what the word feminism was at the time, but in retrospect, I can say that Tiny Sara delivered her very first Feminist Rant sitting there in her oversized chair with her feet still a solid foot off the floor. I ve seen TV-14 ratings assigned to the show, and while the content may have subtle implications like the evil prince wanting Shiyrayuki to be his mistress, etc , my sister attests that the show is very sweet.
The cottage was surrounded by seven tiny beds and appeared to be the home of seven dwarfs. Snow White decided to seek shelter in the cottage and hoped that the dwarfs wouldn't mind her presence. To her surprise, the dwarfs welcomed Snow White with open arms and allowed her to stay with them.
ENTERTAINMENT: Snow White? Magical Creatures?
(7-17-23) The Magical World of Disney is facing a push-back on an upcoming live action film that is due out in 2024...Snow White.
Disney says it is taking a ‘different approach‘ with the characters originally referred to as the ‘seven dwarfs‘ will now be the ‘magical creatures‘ in its remake of its classic film Snow White in an effort to ‘avoid reinforcing stereotypes‘
This is how it looked in the 1937 Disney animated Snow White —
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs…1937 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the 1812 German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm,
In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the National Film Registry. The American Film Institute ranked it among the 100 greatest American films, and also named the film as the greatest American animated film of all time in 2008. Disney’s take on the fairy tale has had a significant cultural effect, resulting in popular theme park attractions, a video game, a Broadway musical.
Last week the Daily Mail story broke showing the replaced dwarfs with the new magical creatures…which also showed a dwarf actor as one of the new group. Social media went crazy after that.
Other issues that caused the movie to be lambasted with negative comments was tow of the main actresses being cast in the movie.
Snow White is being played by Hispanic actress Rachel Zegler who recently played Maria in Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story. Snow White has been described as –
Snow White is a beautiful 14-year old girl, often described as the “fairest in the land.” The phrase “lips red as a rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow”, describes her most notable features, being her rosy red lips and rosy cheeks, and both her hair and skin color. She is sweet, but also shy.
The wicked step-mother is being played by Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot who grew up in Israel.
The Evil Queen is Snow White’s evil and vindictive stepmother who is obsessed with being “the fairest in the land”. The beautiful young princess Snow White evokes the Queen’s sense of envy, so the Queen designs a number of plans to kill Snow White through the use of witchcraft.

They became fast friends and looked after each other. Snow White would cook and clean the cottage while the dwarfs went off to work in the mines. Meanwhile, the wicked queen discovered that Snow White was still alive, thanks to her magic mirror. In a fit of rage, she disguised herself as an old woman and went to the cottage with the poisoned apple. She offered the apple to Snow White, who took a bite and fell into a deep sleep. The dwarfs, upon their return, were devastated to find Snow White lifeless. As time passed, a prince who had heard tales of Snow White's beauty came to the cottage and fell in love with her. He couldn't bear to see her lifeless and kissed her on the lips. That magical kiss broke the spell, and Snow White woke up. Overjoyed, the dwarfs and the prince celebrated the return of Snow White. In the end, Snow White and the prince got married and lived happily ever after. The evil queen, on the other hand, faced her punishment for all the cruelty she had inflicted. Snow White's kindness, along with the help of her new friends, brought her back to life and ensured that good triumphed over evil. This magical tale of Snow White teaches us the importance of kindness and how it can overcome even the darkest of spells. It reminds us that no matter how difficult life may seem, there is always hope for a happy ending..

I found "Magical Snow White" to be quite disappointing. The storyline was predictable and lacked originality. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth. The dialogue felt forced and there was no real emotional connection with the audience. Overall, I did not enjoy this film and would not recommend it.

"Magical Snow White" fell short of my expectations. While the visuals were stunning, the plot was lacking in substance. It felt rushed and poorly developed. The acting was also underwhelming, with many of the performances feeling forced and unnatural. The film had potential, but it failed to deliver on its promises.

I was highly disappointed with "Magical Snow White". The story was unoriginal and offered nothing new to the fairy tale genre. The acting felt amateurish and many scenes were poorly executed. The pacing was also off, leaving me feeling uninterested and bored throughout the film. I would not recommend wasting your time on this lackluster production.

The special effects were impressive, but they couldn't save the weak storyline. The film had potential, but it failed to deliver a memorable experience. Overall, it was a forgettable watch.
