Snow White: The Fairest of Them All (2001)

Thanks for the memories!

One of my all time favorites.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

the best thing - a version who escapes from the ordinary expectations. the special effects. and Miranda Richardson who has the perfect science to give to her role force and seduction. a real surprise - Kristin Kreuk as a real different Snow White. her performance is a real surprise because she gives new nuances to a role who seems be easy victim of clichés. a film who use in smart way the humor and the grace of story, the darkness and the seduction. and who reminds the original emotion when you discovers the fairy tale for the first time. this is all.

I just got a copy of the DVD from a second hand store and watched it without ever having heard of it. It is brilliant! Of course it is not a 90 minute remake of the classic fairy tale. It is certainly not a children's movie either.The makers of this movie just let their imagination run wild and every single move is surprising and any idea that was really too much was happily included in the movie. You'll be smiling from the beginning to the end.And you'll get three fairy tales for the price of one - the main storyline of the Snow Queen (Andersen) and a theme from Snow White and Rose Red (Grimm) are included as well.

Failed rendition of the famous fairy tale. Something's missing. There is never a moment when you get wrapped up in the story. For one thing the characters are very flat: the wicked stepmother is evil, but she lacks evilness, the gnomes are annoying, Snow White lacks character totally and the king will stay in my memory as the stupid-looking clown inside a mirror. I think the biggest problem however is the fact that the magic of a fairy tale world isn't rendered enough. Nice bright colours and a labyrinth and a living forest and all, but the whole thing still looks more like a teletubby field than a place with magic spells. Also, an important constant factor of fairy tales - that is, the fact that the characters take wondrous happenings a tad for granted - is not convincingly brought about. I think it just requires some more freakishness...

This film although having a low budget was brilliantly done and looked beautiful. I think Kristen Kreuk was good but at times a bit bland as there was a lack of expression, I think she would of done better if there were more of her at the beginning. Miranda Richardson was brilliant, the mirror mirror on the wall bit was nicely done. The plot is much better and more interesting than the original Disney version. I loved the dwarfs and thought it was original and a good idea to have a tall dwarf for the miserable one as he would be miserable living in a tiny house when he is 6ft! My favourite scene was when she poisoned the apple and then changed very cleverly into snow whites mother. Overall a really nice film and one in my collection. I rate it 9/10.
