Blanche Neige, les souliers rouges et les sept nains

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 .

While I only got to see this movie in passing, I really liked it and I love the story it was trying to tell. Lots of colorful characters, some good paced jokes and an interesting take of the the "True Beauty Lies Within" mixed in with adult themes of asking what really matters in a person - external or internal beauty and if given the chance, would you fall into temptation for happiness. Granted I know other movies have tackled the same subject with better results, but it still is a fun concept to play around with and they do so in a way that doesn't detract from the fun characters that you follow. Sometimes the pop songs can get a bit much if you don't like them jumping randomly into it, and there are moments where the side characters do get grading at times, but all and all, a good flick for a feel good story.

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.

This movie got cancelled by people very quickly but the movie itself was adorable, it was very body positive even though the ad campaign did a terrible job portraying that, overall it is a movie I would watch over and over again. Don't let this movie pass you by because of some a bad ad it's worth a watch

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.
