this is kind of a remake of the original movie made.
the first time I saw this movie was when it was on TV in the holidays I thought that this movie was grand its one of my many favourite movies its based of the same charactors but the dwarfs names are the days of the week instead of doppy and all that when snow white was born hear mother died and her father was pore so a magic gennie thing came and granted them a wish that they will live in a castle and live happily ever after

its not the cheesy disney version, though it has its own cheese with the rainbow kids. But I enjoyed the movie because it takes the Snow White story to a more mature level. Its sweet and very pretty cinematically speaking. Its entertaining above all else, which is key when looking for a way to spend some relaxation time.

When I first saw this for sale I thought oh wow Miranda Richardson! It has to be good right? Wrong. Miranda was great as the evil queen, but everyone else was horrible! Not even the guy who played Willow could save the day! Let me tell you why it was so bad. The story line starts out great, we've got some weird guy granting wishes to snow whites dad to save her from dying. Miranda as the witch finally becomes beautiful. And the gnomes in the garden really crack me up. But as Snow White grows up she has no substance. Plus the fact that she cant act worth anything does not help to all of her like 10 lines in the movie. The prince can act better than snow white but it's not much of a save. Their romance is too forced. Eventually he turns into a bear anyway so we can see an animal which does a better job of expressing emotions. The digital effects in this movie aren't bad, I mean the mirror flying around was just a little too much though. I wish there was more character development. And then let me get to the dwarves. Naming them for the days of the week? Okay that's just ridiculous. The movie is just very odd. It had a great point to it, don't get me wrong. I felt spoiled after seeing the version of Snow White with Sigorney Weaver in it "Snow White, A tale of Terror" This movie was fantastic! It's also way cheaper than buying this version of Snow White which really sucks so bad. I'm very open to fantasy films when they are done right! SO definetly check out Snow White with Sigorney Weaver and the 10th Kingdom. These are WAY better fairytale movies!

SPOILERS: This is not nearly as bad as it sounds. When you figure that Disney's Snow White is one of the top 50 U.S. films of all time (and the best thing Disney has ever done), you can understand why Hallmark and writer/director Caroline Thompson (who did such a good job on Black Beauty and Edward Scissorhands) would not want to do that version of the fairy tale. And unlike Alice in Wonderland, Snow White is not sacred material; not only has it changed drastically over the past 180+ years, but versions of the basic storyline are present in the folklore of many different countries and languages. The Hallmark version is much closer to the original (and darker) Brothers Grimm story. So the best way to watch this is to put aside any preconceived notions and view it with an open mind.
One thing it has going for it is that the production designer did the usual Hallmark fairy tale magic with the look of the thing. Very nice.
Casting was a little weak. Kristan Kreuk's performance as the title character is feeble; the director should have been able to get a whole lot more from her, but Miranda Richardson as the Evil Queen was wonderful. Fortunately the story is centered around the Queen, and Richardson is able carry the whole film. I don't know if this was by design or was done in post, they may have trimmed a lot of Kreuk's stuff when they realized it was so awful. But at least they worked hard with the lighting and the digital color correction to lighten Kreuk's complexion-she is still not physically believable as Snow White (not even close to lips as red as blood and skin white as the snow) but the disparity is not as bad as expected. And Kruck is such a sterile non-sensuous beauty that she fits the antiseptic way in which the director apparently wanted to under-portray the character.
Vincent Schiavelli who stole the show in "Ghost" also steals all the seven dwarf scenes.
Vera Farmiga does a great job as Snow White's mother, especially when she plays the Queen impersonating the mother. In fact, the best scene of the film is when she is trying to convince Snow White to eat the apple-some really great shot framing and editing. Interestingly, in the original story it was the mother (not a step-mother) who was trying to kill Snow White,
The ending is a bit anti-climatic as it almost instantly goes from everything being totally bleak to everything being right with the kingdom. And this happens not because of any action from the heroes or in any sort of suspenseful way, the Queen just undoes herself by reaching too far. While this supports the 'its what's inside each of us that's important' theme, it cheats the viewer out of an interestingly evolving resolution.
If you ignore Kreuk (who became a decent actress-or at least much better than anyone could have guessed from this performance) and prepare yourself for a rather 'nothing' ending, you should enjoy this tale.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

It was a really cute movie. Even though they strayed away from the Disney Movie sequence I still enjoyed the movie. The 7 dwarves were funny with their different attitudes about what to do and how to do it. The Actress who plays Snow White really fits the part she was awesome. I like when the misguided evil queen goes to the mirror and wants to know who is the fairest of them all and instead of a shadowy ghostly figure popping up and saying that so and so is, the actual person pops out of the mirror. In the end there is a good moral to the story and through out the story they keep that fact on the front burner it isn't just about some poor girl who is too trusting and ends up needy some prince to come and save her. It wasn't too scary either it was actually pretty mild in my opinion. DENFINTLY WORTH WATCHING!!!
