This is a really nice looking film, which is quite dark in places, although a lot of it is just funny with the amusing scenes. It wasn't meant as a comedy. There are a few twists. This version is only a bit true to the original story but this explains a few things that the fairy tale doesn't.

Delightful film

This is very nice and a really interesting little fantasy version of the Grimm fairy story. The characters are very traditional to the story and with new ones added such as the black knight and the court jester. It's lovely how these weave into the story. This film explained what happened to Snow White's father, and why he was absent from the entire plot. I like the explanation here better than other film adaptions that killed his character off. I agree that the cottage of the 7 dwarfs is very cosy. One issue I have with this is why the "guard dog" never reacted when the queen visited in her disguise? And another question puzzling me is why the dwarfs gave such a powerful mirror to the king in the first place. Other than that it's a beautiful film. It was made in Germany, the same birth place of the Snow White story.
