"Happily N'Ever After"

Post by **Rio** » January 2nd, 2007, 4:16 pm

This looks like one of the ugliest movies ever made.

And what's the deal with the apostrophe in the title (logo)

"Happily N'ever After"

Hmm... it just makes me wonder.

Wasn't there a faux Snow-White sequel back in 1994 called "Happily Ever After"?

Rio - I was thinking the same thing myself. Maybe the apostrophe is just for...spunk? I dunno....

ShyViolet - It rings a bell. I know that there was a really hooky film called Snow White and the Seven Dwarf-Elves that was released some years back, but I'm not sure if it is the same film you are talking about. I'll have to look that up....

What confuses me about this film is the fact that it wasn't advertised very well. From the sound of it, a teaser was released a while back, but other than that...the only other things that have been put out is an official website and a trailer. Kinda weird, if you ask me. Maybe they were afraid to advertise it because the film isn't very..."exceptional". (heh)

I'm not sure but I guess it's they're attempt at being gangsta when they have it "N'ever"... it's just dumb... look at the logo... it's HIDEOUS!

Rio - (snigger) "Hideous". That made me laugh...

Yeah, it's pretty ugly. It screams "girly-girl", in my opinion.

What makes me mad is that everything in the previews makes everything look either too round or too pointy. That's why I didn't care for Ice Age, everything was too pointy-looking.

Rio - Talk about it -- and the colors are...all over the place. Purple on pink; blue on yellow....

*gets dizzy*

And you thought that Ice Age was "pointy"? Everything seemed very well-rounded to me. I absolutely love that film and its sequel, but let's not get off the subject.

Wow, Violet <I>really</I> wants to know about this!

It was one of two features made by the then-dying Filmation, along with a Pinocchio "sequel". They were not direct follow-ups, wink-wink, of course, since Disney would have sued them, but they were promoted as such and indeed could easily work as direct continuations apart from the different character designs.

Snow White is pretty awful...I don't know if I've ever sat through the entire thing in one go (it's a pretty hard slog), but I have seen all of it and I think have it on tape somewhere. Pinocchio And The Emperor Of The Night is marginally better due to some effects sequences, but is otherwise best left for TV screenings, of which there don't seem to be many.

Footnotes at best.

Ha! Yeah, that's what I thought. My mom worked on both of those....

If memory serves, "Happily Ever After" was SO bad. Of course, I haven't seen it in ages.

I loved the visuals in Ice Age and it's sequel (which wasn't nearly as good as the original). It always looked like a museum display come to life.

(Hey! Night at the Museum anyone?)

Ditto that...big time.

Only three days left until Happily N'Ever After comes out. Just three days until we get to see how bad the thing stinks....

Three days, already?

My, that was speedy. Danny is predicting, the movie will..... bomb!

Seriously, the movie looks that bad. And I love all kind of animation, but this? Its just tacky

You think, with the producer of Shrek and Shrek 2, it would look better

Post by **Mitch** » January 3rd, 2007, 1:30 am

Danny - Yep -- my thoughts exactly! However, it is still only two days, two hours, and thirty more minutes until the thing comes out, so we can't judge just yet.
