Zapatos rojos y los siete enanos

In a country where people are very image focused and put major importance on just appearance. It's fantastic this movie points out the flaws in judgment just on appearance. Now it has fantastic animation and it shows you alot of themes that you don't see in a typical fairytale movie . But the soundtrack is awful , well the english one . I have mixed feelings about the movie , but it's a new take on Snow white that I actually like. It's a movie more people should take a chance on . Because its ironic how this movie was judged by its appearance , so people either ranted about it being fatphopic instead of watching the movie and seeing that the message is really about loving the true you and loving how you look naturally. I look forward to what the Animation Company will become in the future , cause this movie was better then the Entire collection of Illumination movies . 7/10 , Would watch again but Invest in better music .

The marketing for this was appalling, and I feel so bad for the people who made this movie, they should be proud of it, yet it tanked due to the fatphobic marketing. I really enjoyed it and the marketing was so off base that it actually portrayed the opposite message of what the movie was actually about. The animation was great, the characters were decent, the soundtrack was okay, and the story was simple, but decent. I hope people will give this movie a go, I am sure that most will enjoy it, and very few will be offended by it, I thought it had a lovely message without feeling contrived and/or preachy.

This movie is simply, beautiful. The visuals are beautiful, the story is beautiful and the lesson is.... (yes you guessed it right) beautiful. It deviates from the modern dilemma of finding every happiness in life if you look beautiful which is completely wrong. Furthermore, some concepts and the action sequences in the movie were unique.

In short, it's a good all-round entertainment and you will definitely enjoy it.

It took me forever to be able to watch this, but watch it I did. I saw trailers for this movie about 3 years ago, right about the time of the marketing fiasco for this movie. The older trailers and taglines really do not do this movie justice. The twist, Snow White is not a drop dead goregous hottie that princesses are protrayed as these days. She takes after her father. She's an adorbale pudgy princess. The dwarves are green and under a curse because of a *ahem* terrible misconception that is held in Fairytale Land. Long story short- it is a tale, told with humor and a pinch of cringiness, about accepting yourself for who you are no matter your appearance, and learning to grow from your own misconceptions on what beauty is and is not. My only con is the pop music. It takes away from it BUT that is my opinion.

On Fairytale Island, celebrated heroes, the Fearless Seven, defeat a witch who turns out to be a fairy princess. The fairy curses the heroes turning them into adorable trolls. Meanwhile, a real witch has married the king and twisting the kingdom to achieve her goal of magical beauty. Princess Snow White fears for her missing father and manages to steal a magical pair of red shoes from the witch. The shoes turn her into a beautiful girl and she finds help from the seven adorably cursed trolls.

The movie rushes a ton of exposition early on. It really needs more time to breathe especially the Fearless Seven. Quite frankly, the movie could have started with an exciting action sequence. It could introduce the vain Merlin and the rest of the gang in a more naturalistic manner. I do love the central theme of inner beauty but Merlin's vanity should be highlighted much more from the start and the trolls should not be so adorable. The point is that Merlin is an ugly vain pretty boy who learns that beauty is not just skin deep. It needs more careful planning and better writing. The adorable trolls don't help the theme either. That brings up the premise with respect to Snow White. In this movie, ugling her up means fattening her up. It co-mingles with the earlier problem of skimming over Merlin's vanity. If Merlin has an early scene of ridiculing a fat girl, it would make the whole premise run so much more smoother. Then the premise would be a damnation of fat shaming. Instead, the premise gets a bit muddy due to the muddled story presentation.

Overall, the general idea of reworking Snow White with an inner beauty premise holds some good promise. The Korean animation is basically Ice Age level. It looks good enough. The writing is where the movie falters. I'm not sure if it's the cultural differences but they need to hire a veteran western writing group to go over this movie a few more times. There are a few obvious mistakes and some questionable turns that need fixing.
