Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Live-Action)

[Randall]

Those people pictured weren’t playing the dwarfs. Or dwarf characters. They are a band of thieves because this movie is also a Robin Hood remake for some reason. So the dwarfs (CGI or otherwise) were never being “replaced.”

One reviewer floated the theory that those were intended to replace the dwarves, until rewrites ended up creating two films in one. He was maybe half-joking, but said the film ended up feeling that way. (I haven't seen it myself to judge.)

I feel there are too many scenes where the dwarfs (or whatever they are) interact with them for that to have been the case? The dwarfs are in almost every scene the thieves are in. And the thieves aren't in it much.

It's weird to say, but the CGI dwarfs (who are mythical creatures who are centuries old, so again, Disney didn't need to do them in CGI, but I digress) are...kind of a highlight? The movie is usually at its best when they're around, as insane as that sounds. They still earn some laughs as they are funny characters, and Heigh-Ho and Whistle While You Work get appropriately toe-tapping treatment here.

Having said that...

SPOILER!!! (I guess)

Dopey talks.

I’d already "heard" that…and then I cringed at how they use that.

[gaastra]

Not even the first time disney did that. Go watch the disney special snow white live from the 80s. Did that decades before this movie!

[Ben]

Surely this new one, in trying to cover why her skin isn’t white as snow with a really lame alternative reason for her name, should just be called White Snow? After all, it is…

ECHO, ECHO, ECHO, ECHO…

[Dacey]

She’s called “Snow White” because she was born in the winter snow. Not really that big of a deal?

And I really thought the “echo” song (where I didn’t even notice her singing that word so much) was alright?

[Farerb]

It's just a bit weird to name your child after the thing that almost got them killed.

[Ben]

Exactly Dace.

Winter snow = white snow.

You wouldn’t say she was born in the snow winter, right?

Hence White Snow is the more appropriate new title, to go with the new reason.
