This has got to be one of the worst animated films I've ever seen. The animation was absolutely horrible and quite ugly (even "Toy Story" from 19 years ago has better animation), the songs are horrendous (no "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" here), the storyline is a cheap knock-off of the original story (can't even the proper time era right - Kansas is now mid-2000s for some reason), and the characters are unlikeable. And one more thing: I have a feeling most of the people who write heavily positive reviews are rich idiots who lost $100K each because the film's producer Greg Centineo scammed you all into supporting this fiasco just so he could get rich (most of the movie's $70 million dollar budget is probably in his back pocket right now). Same for the movie's Facebook fans, positive audience feedback on Rotten Tomatoes and Cinemascore, and so on. Admit it: you were cheated the reason the movie failed is because it's terrible, so don't try to save your own skin.

The Fairest of them All
10 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
No one believed it would succeed. Everyone called it "Disney's Folly". And yet, it was a giant money maker, grossing over $8 million, established its creator as a master filmmaker, and created a genre, changing history forever. "Beauty and the Beast", "The Lion King", "Toy Story", and "Finding Nemo" all owe to this movie: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
Released in 1937 and re-released in 1944, 1952, 1958, 1967, 1975, 1983, 1987 (50th anniversary), and 1993, "Snow White" has charmed audiences for decades. But is it the classic everyone hails it as? Yes, it is. "Snow White" stands out as one of the best films in the Disney canon. We all know the story, so I'm not going to write it all out, just use IMDb's synopsis: Snow White, pursued by a jealous queen, hides with the Dwarfs; the queen feeds her a poison apple, but Prince Charming awakens her with a kiss.
The animation in the film is gorgeous, even by today's standard (save the Huntsman and the Prince, they look somewhat odd). Snow White genuinely looks like a young girl, and the Queen looks like a real woman. The way the Dwarfs are drawn is enjoyable, and so are the characters. Snow White is kind, cheerful, good with animals, and has a good personality (not to mention the fact she became a mother to the Seven Dwarfs - a tough job). The Dwarfs are all memorable and lovable, with Grumpy and Dopey being the most liked. The Queen is a great villain. Her drive to kill a young girl so she can be the most beautiful, which makes her go insane is incredibly disturbing and creepy, and the way she looks as the Witch is great. The film's music and songs are also perfect and memorable, with "Heigh-ho" and "Someday my Prince will Come" as the standouts. This is also perfectly paced, with sweet moments, scary moments, and time for character development.
So, what else can I say? Gorgeous animation, memorable characters, perfect music, and a brilliantly constructed plot. A true cinematic masterpiece not to be missed.
