Sadly Over-hyped
Instant Favorite.
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
A prince encounters a sleeping beauty in a glass coffin in the forest. Seven dwarfs emerge to explain that she's under a spell. Snow White was born to the loving King and Queen. After the Queen's death, the King remarries. The new Evil Queen (Diana Rigg) orders the Hunter to kill Snow White while on a hunting trip. He takes pity on her and sent her off to hide in the forest while lying about her death to wild animals. She finds shelter with the dwarfs. The King dies in battle. The Evil Queen is told by her Magic Mirror that Snow White is still the fairest. She tries to curse Snow White several times and finally with a poison apple.This has that Golan-Globus style and is slightly better than most of those movies. The production is still second rate. The actors are workmanlike. Diana Rigg is a fine villain. Sarah Patterson is lovely but she isn't asked to do much and is only in half of the movie anyways. Same can be said of Nicola Stapleton. It does have a couple of interesting ideas for any new live action Snow White movie but Disney has nothing to fear.
This story most closely depicts the origional Grimm Farie Tale as we know it. It has the apple, the corsett, and the comb! It has the seven little men, it has snow white, it has the hunter, it has the father... it's only missing one SINGLE tiny thing... the fact that Snow White's MOTHER, and not her STEP mother, is the one that wanted her dead. Then again, that's EVERY version that I've ever seen... unless the Disney version was the right way there. Don't remember. Anyhow, my favorite part of the movie is "Billy Barty". He is in SO MANY of my movies, I can pick out his voice like THAT. *Snaps*. Sure, he's only one of 7 adorable men, but still... and a couple of the songs are so precious. Not the absolutely best of the Cannon Films, but one of my long time favs.
The rarest Cannon Movie Tale, and the best adaptation of Snow White ever made. I really love this film because of the very strong female leads. Diana Rigg is exactly cast as the wicked queen. NO ONE else could have played that scheming evil and annoyed queen, while singing in perfect tune. Sarah Patterson IS the living Snow White-the Brothers Grimm themselves couldn't have chosen a better one. This film is very hard to find, but it is so worth the effort. I highly recommend it.
Not since Disney's heroine glided across the screen, has Snow White been so beautifully portrayed. Sarah Patterson (A Company of Wolves) is not only beautiful, but gives Snow White the spunky yet child-like quality needed to bring the young princess to life. Miss Patterson also has a pleasant singing voice. I highly recommend seeing this enchanting version of the classic story!!!
