Snow White and The Seven Reasons Why I Didn't Like This Movie

Film: Snow White
Year: 1937
Where I Saw It: DVD

Let me start out by saying that yes, as a child, I did enjoy this film.  And yes, I do respect it as the first feature film which launched many great children's films and even more children's- WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE MAKE CINDERELLA 2!?!  THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!!!  Anyhoo...  Have you seen Snow White recently?  And tried to watch it without the goggles of nostalgia?  Let's do this.

1.  If a creepy old woman came up to you and offered you an apple, would you ever even consider eating it?

2.  This is one of those movies which is a staple for little girls and her sole job is to clean the house for seven men.

3.  Dopey puts a cymbal on his head and imitates a Chinese person.

4.  Snow White seems to be afraid of trees.

5.  The queen has a magic mirror which can tell her ANYTHING she could ever want to know, and the best ideas she could come up with is to find out who's prettier than she is.

6.  The dwarfs mine for gems but we never hear for what reason.

7.  If the queen can change her appearance, why doesn't she just turn herself into someone prettier than Snow White?

One Last Point - Is it just me, or is the Prince wearing lipstick?

Thanks for reading! - Scott Scene
