“ did you just … break my pen holder? ”

Every time these yankee man-babies whine about the new disney films, they not just complain about the quality of the film. They actually complain from the point of view of the original 356th adaptation of the public domain story by disney. I hate it to break it to you baby, but the past was the worst. And when today sucks, today’s the past of the future. Those old disney cartoon? They aren’t…

I haven’t seen the old disney cartoon in ages, maybe in two decades. So i do not have an obsessive nostalgia for it. Свет мой, зеркальце! скажи Да всю правду доложи: Я ль на свете всех милее, Всех румяней и белее? The new plot is overcomplicated stupid mess that doesn’t come together. The film is overcrowded with stupid side-characters who have no screen time. And it still goes for to long while…

Fun Fact:

Disney Villains have a reputation for being killed off in astonishingly brutal ways. But they've got nothing on the fairy tales that inspired them.

Take Snow White's Evil Queen as an example. She tries pushing a boulder down a slope to crush the dwarves who are pursuing her, but she's apparently having such a blast while doing it that she can't help but laugh like a maniac. This gives Zeus the perfect opportunity to intervene. He strikes the cliff she's standing on, sending her falling to her death below...followed by the boulder to smush out what life is left. Now that's pretty dark, but quick and painless compared to her fairy tale counterpart.

In the Brothers Grimm version, the Evil Queen actually attends the Prince's wedding but she doesn't know it's Snow White he's marrying, and the moment she arrives, she's seized by guards who strap red hot iron shoes to her feet. Then, in front of all the wedding guests, she was ordered to dance in said shoes until her body couldn't take the pain anymore and she dropped dead.

It’s a low-budget movie that took the fairy tale №709 and turned it into a fantasy epic. There’s still some elements of sneewittchen left, but instead of g’nomes it’s magical elves and there’s a “big” battle between several armies (represented by a couple of guys each). While it’s a low-budget film with according quality of CGI, lack of extras, store-bought props, etc, it also offers a plot that…

It’s a movie adaptation of the fairy tale №709. Also known as Snow White. This one is made by transforming the simple fable into the suffering medievity style. Most of everything is as realistic as it can be, with a minimal amount of true magic, with the rest being explained as “witchcraft”. Also known as coincidences, and delusional schizophrenics having hallucinations and illusions of grandeur.…
