This movie scared me so horribly when I was younger, that I refused to ever watch it again. Well, my friend talked me into doing so last night (she has been bugging me for years). And I can see why it scared me; the dubbing is pathetic, the little children dwarfs are horrifying, that prince wears a great big yellow blob on his head that's supposed to look like blonde hair, all of the characters are painfully stupid...okay, to be fair, the sets ARE quite lovely. But my friend and I just burst out laughing so many times over how ridiculous everything was! Yes, it was made in 1955, and so I can forgive the guy dressed in the bear suit who wanders out behind a tree to scare Snow White, as well as the giant fake spider web behind the queen while she is mixing potions, and the snow that looks like shredded toilet paper. But some of the dialogue in the script! I have never read the original Brothers Grimm story, but please don't tell me that Snow White cried, "Oh, can I cook and clean for you?!" after the dwarves begged her to stay. And how stupid IS Snow White? Three times the dwarves come marching home, singing their annoying, creepy songs, to find her keeled over. And the third time, they think she is dead, so they stick her in a glass coffin, in which she remains in perfect condition, until what seems to be a WHOLE YEAR LATER (what took them so long? HMM!) the prince and the hunter come alone, the prince wants to take Snow Whites body home so he can oggle it, the coffin falls down, and she WAKES UP! WOW! Aside from all this, the material is painfully stretched, with scenes with that obnoxious music blaring on in the background as various characters pace, do chores, stare off in space, eat, sleep, and march, scenes comtaning no meaningful context whatsoever. I loved the part when the dwarves "carried" Snow White inside, shouting, "Watch her head!" "This way!" "Okay, easy now" while the camera focused on another dwarf gathering water, so we couldn't SEE them doing all that hard work (since, um, they weren't). Another scene that should have been cut entirely! Oh well, I'm being reaaaal snotty. I want to see the German version but also am afraid to, for...well, you know.

AND WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT HOST?! AHHHHH! Scary!

I like watching this show, as I am getting ready for school at 7:30 in the morning. Yes, it's stupid how whenever a couple doesn't get along, one or both of them is sent to that cheesy club, and is grinding on the dance floor with the first person they meet, someone they describe as "Great!!!!!11!!!" though they are actually just some loser, disgusting beast of a person who wants five seconds of fame. Oh, and also that many pent house models show up on this show, and are often paired up with funny looking men. And that the women always dress slutty (well, duh). And they are all the sort of (boring, yucky) people who would be between the 8-10 average's at hotornot.com. But it is entertaining fluff on half awake senses. And some of the little commentary is quite tactful, and I LIKE Chris Hardwick. Hahahaha. Byeeee!

I agree with the person who raved about that song. When I was 6 years old, I got "Fievel Goes West" and that part was my favorite. I would watch it over and over again, sing it around the house, and record it. I still love it to this day, and am happy to learn that James Horner composed it. I loved the whole soundtrack to the movie -- I would record the music that played during the credits and listen to it, and even at such a young age, it would make me cry. I keep finding myself falling in love with everything I hear of James Horners, from the soundtrack to "Casper" to "Braveheart" to "Titanic." He is fabulous! But anyway, about the movie...I think it is cute. My favorite character has always been Tiger, whom I even named my cat after. No one else got a say in it! This movie will always remain a classic to me, since it played such a huge part of my early childhood.
