Movie Review: Happily Ever After on DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD release is not exactly outstanding. In fact, it is fairly difficult to see a notable difference between the DVD and VHS quality. However, if your tape is on its last leg, this is a good investment. Unless, of course, you want to wait on the new phantom DVD release.
It is called "Happily Ever After: Snow White's Greatest Adventure (Collector's Edition)", and it is unknown when or if it will ever become available. The release date was 6/5/2007. It was to include a number of great special features. It is a shame, because it is not sold anywhere. Now it is a mystery...
Specifications:
My DVD came with two inserts: one a slightly modified version of the cover art; and on its backside, a list of chapters for scene selection. The second is a small pamphlet of other available Fox Family Feature DVDs.
The movie is in "full frame" format.
The only special features on this DVD are three trailers. These include "Anastasia", "Bartok the Magnificent", and "FernGully: The Last Rainforest".
Movie Review: I agree with Ashley S
Summary: 3 Stars
A lot of people hate this movie because they believe that the people who made it were trying to cash it in as a sequel to the Disney movie. However, I loved this movie because this time it showed Snow White saving the day, instead of the seven dwarves. I also loved the seven dwarfelles, because they were funny and original. I don't think I would've liked this movie all that much if the seven dwarves (not the Disney versions) were in it. This way we get to see some new characters and how they paly out in the story. I really don't care for the animation as well. Remember, this is before technology made animation better.Movie Review: this doesn't deserve one star...
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie is typical low-budget fare. I say low-budget only because the characters and the animation have a Saturday morning cartoon appearance. The cast is all-star, which might be the problem. All of the money was spent on actors!
Snow White and the Prince are ok characters. There is an owl voiced by Ed Asner that could have been cut from the story, nothing against Asner. The owl is a perpetual cigar smoking violent character,nothing good there. The villan is the usual carbon copy villan with nothing new to add to the story.
The movie had promise with the number of quality actors but fell short due to the writing and directing. I'm glad we borrowed this instead of buying.
Movie Review: it's THE WORST!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
For the 20 minutes I suffered through this with my 4 1/2 year old, for some reason I kept thinking that this was like the play that was put on by the amateur theater troupe in "Waiting for Guffman", and that somebody must have thought they were being serious when they wrote it. The song "Stools" in Guffman crossed my mind more than once. And who in the world cajoled these well known actors into these speaking roles?
The Ed Asner owl was ludicrous. Why would an owl ever be smoking cigar? And some of the jokes were slyly off color, too. Of course they were way over the head of my daughter, but I am of the opinion that even if something is over their head, they are still hearing it and getting the garbage into their little minds.
The "dwarfelles" were so dumb...why would dwarfs possess magic? and in charge of "the earth", "the thunder," etc. And what in the world was Mother Nature doing in this story? Why didn't they just add in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too?
Finally, the animation was atrocious. It reminded me of those 70's era cheap cartoons where the characters are perfectly still while the mouths are animated.
To its credit, my daughter did like it. She was pretty sad that I turned it off, but I just couldn't stand it anymore...and I've watched a lot of awful, silly cartoons. Before you call me a shrew, please know that I drove back to the rental store and let her pick another DVD to replace this one...20 minutes each way, and she chose "The Last Unicorn" over 101 Dalmations and even the surprisingly okay Barbie As... movies.
I'm sorry for the adjectives I've used: dumb, stupid, etc. My vocabulary is usually much stronger, however, this movie really begs usage of these descriptors.
Movie Review: Stupid, stupid, stupid ...and that is being nice
Summary: 1 Stars
The animation is lousy, music was below second rate, characters were poorly designed and written, the voices awful and some annoying, the story line...well, dumb does not even beging to explain it, and beyond boring. The kids even couldnt finish it.
Not trying to be mean...really I am not. I always try to give everything a fair try but this is sooooo bad. I found this at a yard sale for a $1 and it was a waste of even that. Sorry. They thought they could capitalize on the orginal and feel so short it is not even funny. Honestly deserves a negative star.
