I want to start off with saying that I intentionally didnt pay attention to the press releases and critical views when the movie first came out. And I also waited to watch it. I wanted my view to not be tainted. With that being said, the original animation was one of my faves. The story and the uniqueness of every character, specifically the dwarves, is why this movie was in a class of its own, in my opinion.
Now, to make the dwarves CGI but everything else human form was a bad decision. Highly disappointed there. I get allowing room for extra dramatic scenes and facial play, but not a solid enough reason for the choice made. The acting was off in general. I don't care about who was chosen to play Snow. She does look like the original character anyway, but just about everyone's acting, except the "prince" and villagers, were off. Why wasn't he a Prince? We have the story of a thief among the commoners becaming a Prince, Aladdin. So not an original idea, which makes the change pointless for the franchise. Another poor choice made.
Why was the glass casket not present? Small things matter. ๐The was a dope scene. And the dwarves put their talents to work to show their love and admiration for Snow. The glass casket was important.
Why did they have Dopey speak?
For the "voiceless", literally and figuratively, Dopey was my favorite character because he was loud without a word. Purety at its finest.
"If it's not broke, don't fix it"..... That's My overall take for this movie. I can keep going but I'm going to stop LOL. Whoever directed and was in charged overall, did not understand the original piece and valued the importance of it all.
