This movie has no right to be as good or as bad as it is. That cast? Wild! I remember I rented this movie ALL THE TIME from the Video Warehouse when I was a kid. I loved it. Wish I could find it on DVD now. Its storytelling is all over the place and its pacing is weird. Whoever wrote and placed the songs had no idea how to make a narrative work or how to use songs to enhance one.
Yet in spite of all that, it's still so much fun. The animation and character designs are great, and having a Snow White with agency who was surrounded by women was truly formative for me. Mother Nature...Sunbeam...Muddy. The best! And the humor still lands for me as an adult. Sometimes better than it did as a kid! And Lord Malice is still intimidating and truly scary, unlike many villains who just become ridiculous with time.
So against all odds, I love this movie. I need to find a good quality copy so I can show it to my nieces.
