4.0 out of 5 stars FAERIE TALE THEATRE at it's height, October 29, 2004

This is one of the best entries in the fabulous FAERIE TALE THEATRE series, with a superb cast and haunting music score.

Elizabeth McGovern is luminous in the title role of Snow White. Her acting is very understated and she perfectly captures the innocence and bewilderment of the character. Vanessa Redgrave offers a tour-de-force performance as the Wicked Queen, who dons several magical disguises to ensnare our heroine. Rex Smith gives us a Prince who is handsome yet goofy (a refreshing change), and Vincent Price is a delight as both the Magic Mirror and Narrator. Series creator Shelley Duvall has a brief role as Snow White's mother during the prologue.

Sharp direction by Peter Medak and a brilliant, haunting musical score round out the package. This is FAERIE TALE THEATRE at it's height.

5.0 out of 5 stars A SNOW WHITE FOR EVERYONE, June 6, 2004

By	J. Fees "imaginart" (Port Carbon, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Faerie Tale Theatre Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a big fan of the Faerie Tale Theatre series. This film is one of my absolute favorites. Vanessa Redgrave gives a wonderfully over the top performance as the wicked and vengeful queen. Elizabeth McGovern is a kind and gentle Snow White and Vincent Price is unforgettable as the Magic Mirror. These films are great for kids because there is all of the wonderment of fairy tales. They are especially entertaining for adults because there is some crude humor in them that will have the older folks laughing. As far as the production, the music is beautiful and the sets are wonderful. Everything about these films is based after the theatre, as if you were watching a play. Very entertaining and intriguing films that will create memories to last a lifetime. If you've seen these movies then you understand how special they are. It was great to see actors and actresses before they became big and had a little fun in these great films!!!!! I recommend these films to anyone who wants to be whisked away to another time and place or to anyone who wants to have a little laugh. A+

4.0 out of 5 stars A sucessful blend of comedy and traditional fancy, February 19, 2006

By	ShamrockChild "ShamrockChild" (OR, USA) - See all my reviews

With her lips as red as rubies, hair black as ebony, and skin as white as snow, our heroine Princess Snow White (Elizabeth McGovern) is the most beautiful in the land. This is much a curse as blessing, and earns her the muderous jealousy of her stepmother, (Vanesa Redgrave) the queen of the land, and the former most beautiful in all the land. Fortunately for Snow White, she has the loyalty of seven drarfs who take her in, but ultimately cannot protect her from the queen's scheme to see her lovely, innocent stepdaughter dead. Can the love of a handsome prince save our innocent Snow White from a premature death?

Ms. Redgrave is perfect in this role. Unlike some versions, she's lovely enough to convince us she could be a runner-up in the beauty department. She's brings the humor to her wicknedness, and her scenes in front of the witty, longer-suffering mirror, (Vincent Price) had me in stitches. Ms. McGovern brings Snow White's innocence/naivete to the forefront, and looks pretty. Alas, not much is needed for this character. The real female with meat to sink her teeth into is the queen.

The dwarfs are an endearing bunch, always good for additional laugh. The stand out performance is by Tony Cox who plays Bubba. The prince fell a little flat with me. There was zero chemistry between him and his leading lady, but thankfully, there are only about five minutes of the movie left by the time they meet, so it doesn't do too much damage.

I reccomend this for the young, and the young at heart.
