5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST VERSIONS YOU WILL EVER SEE...., March 3, 2004
By J. Fees "imaginart" (Port Carbon, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Snow White [VHS] (VHS Tape)
When I first saw this wonderful film, I was a little kid in elementary school and there are parts of this movie that just stick with you and really stand out. I am a HUGE fan of all of the cannon movie tales but this one is my favorite alongside Sleeping Beauty and Hansel and Gretel. The music in this film is absolutely beautiful and the sets are awesome. I especially love the segments when the queen is consulting her mirror. Diana Rigg is brilliant in her role as the wicked queen and Nicola Stapleton really becomes the character of little Snow White. The foreshadowing in this movie is very creative and while we all know the story of Snow White, this particular film delivers lots of surprises. I especially love the first part of the film where we first discover the wicked queen standing in front of her mirror with all of the ladies in waiting fixing her up for a ball. This part helps foreshadow the methods by which the queen will try to rid herself of Snow White. A completely original and wonderful approach to a well known fairy tale. Sarah Patterson as Snow White at age 16 really has all of the innocence and beauty to play the princess. The dwarfs are very authentic and have the same charm that we have come to love from the more traditional versions of the story. Overall, this is a movie not to be missed. It is not overly cute or sweet. In fact, I believe the feeling of the film is quite dark but still enjoyable for the very young. Watch for the surprise ending and you will see why this version really pulls out all of the stops to bring the fairy tale of Snow White to life!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cannon Movie Tales Finally on DVD!, June 5, 2005
By Heidi Anne Heiner (SurLaLune Fairy Tales.com) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Diana Rigg is the Evil Queen in this Cannon Movie Tale musical based on the popular tale from the Brothers Grimm.

Here's the movie's description available from Sony Pictures: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall...who's the fairest storybook heroine of them all? Snow White! Sarah Patterson (The Company of Wolves) stars as the fabled slumbering beauty while Emmy winner Diana Rigg ("The Avengers") serves up some "delicious comic villainy" (Variety) as the wicked stepmother who's consumed by vanity in this thrilling live-action adaptation of the classic Brothers Grimm tale.

"After her jealous stepmother (Rigg), the queen, tries to have her killed, Snow White (Patterson) runs away into the forest, where she finds refuge with seven kindly dwarves. But when the queen discovers she's still alive, she decides to destroy her rival herself using clever disguises. Finally, a poisonous apple does the trick - or so she thinks - until the handsome prince arrives to save Snow White!"

The Cannon Movie Tale series of nine films has become nearly as popular among fairy tale enthusiasts and family film fans as Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. Some would argue that this series is even more popular. Either way, these musicals are suitable for the entire family and feature well-known actors from the 1980s.
