#Snow White and the seven dwarves 1937
Note
I'm so tired of people saying that the Prince from Snow White is a creep for kissing Snow White when he thought she was dead.
People act as if he put his tongue down her throat while she looks like a regular corpse.
Maybe I'm just more comfortable with death because of my upbringing.
There's a European tradition that you would kiss dead people goodbye. You would also wait with a dying person because dying alone was one of the most horrible ways to die.
In Poland, you would spend three days with the dead body of your relative in the house so family and friends have time to say goodbyes. We even have pictures of family members in coffins, so we could remember them.
Yeah, it's a very post-modern, historically, culturally-small-minded way to look at it.
Specifically in this movie (which is a fairy tale's fairy tale) people just...totally ignore the scene where The Prince is introduced.
Seriously and truthfully, BECAUSE the Prince only takes action in three scenes of the movie, you HAVE to take all three of them very very seriously. Because thats all there is to know about him. That's how fairy tales work: lots of information hiding under very brief, simple snippets of information. It's called nuance.
Anyway.
The Prince kisses Snow White as a culmination of their promised love for each other.
First scene he's in, he falls in love with her because of her obvious purity and he overhears her longing for someone to love her. Then she runs away because she's not sure of him, and doesn't know him. But he sings his part of the song, which is all about how he has just one heart to give, one devotion to spend, and he's choosing to give it and spend it on her if she'll have him.
And she will have him. How do we know? She sends a kiss to him on the dove. That's how the exchange ends; that's how she responds, and that's why he leaves satisfied. It's their engagement scene. They're promising their hearts to each other.
Fast-forward, the Queen messes up what might have been the natural follow-through of that engagement which is marriage by trying to kill Snow White, she's living in the woods, but she won't forget the Prince and wholeheartedly believes he'll come find her.
And the very next thing we hear about him is that he keeps his promise. He's got one heart, one love, one devotion, and it's promised to Snow White, and he will not stop searching for her. When he finds her, he's returning her kiss from their engagement scene. He thinks she's dead, but he has to finish his quest anyway. This is him, trying to keep his promise even if she's dead; he's trying to fulfill the exchange they had when they saw each other last.
It's ridiculous to assume that she needed to be awake and alive to give permission for him to kiss her; it's ignorant of the whole relationship, symbolic and literal, between these two fairy tale characters. She already sent him her kiss and her heart; he already promised to claim it; he's fulfilling the promise in that scene.
Crazy postmodern people, don't know how to take in a story. Not everything gets to have your socio-cultural lens imposed upon it.

imagine miguel x fem!reader who absolutely LOVES disney, and she’s able to convince miguel to watch snow white and the seven dwarfs (1937) with her. At first miguel thinks it’s just a boring cartoon, but ends up enjoying it. More importantly, he enjoys watching it with you
Watching Snow White with Miguel O'Hara
Words: 2.1k words
Warnings: None! Just pure fluff! Miguel is very skeptical and a somewhat bore but he's OUR skeptical and a smowhat bore! Please do correct me on the spanish if it's incorrect! No beta, we die like Uncle Ben.
A/N: Hey everyone!!! Here's another one of your requests! This one is short - I've been experimenting with that bullet point headcanon sort of format I told you guys about. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I loved writing this nevertheless! It had been a while since I had watched the movie, so I got to rewatch it and have a fun time :)
It's been a while since I've written for Miggy - please go easy on me!
I hope you all enjoy this!
You’d suggested watching Snow White after jokingly calling him “Grumpy”. He’d come home one day sulking because of some Spider Society affairs (apparently, he did not like the way that new Miles Morales kid handled thing – “too emotional”, he said), and you’d taken one good look at him and called him “Grumpy”. He clearly didn’t understand what you were referring to, so you thought it’d be a fun way for you to spend an afternoon.
Miguel didn’t get the appeal of animated movies. He thought they were for children and hadn’t watched many. They weren’t his style either – Miguel liked biopics, historical drama, not silly little animated musicals with talking animals and, in his humble opinion, “very impossible happy endings” – when you told him you believed in happy endings because you’d found yours with him, he blushed and turned away, pouting and mumbling something about “you clearly being the exception because you were special and perfect in every way”
One Saturday afternoon, you were feeling particularly lazy, so after cleaning the apartment with him, you decided to celebrate. It was time for a much-deserved rest. You prepared some popcorn, grabbed a few blankets (for yourself of course – Miguel thought you were an undiagnosed psychopath because of the number of blankets you loved to cuddle under), and sat on the couch.
When Miguel looked at you, he raised an eyebrow.
“What are you doing?” he asked, noticing the popcorn on your lap.
“I think it’s about time you get schooled on the art of animation.” You smiled and patted the seat on the couch next to you.
Miguel made a soft “tch” sound but sat nevertheless, wrapping an arm around you, as he always did. He could be grumpy and pout all he wanted, but you had him wrapped around your finger.
“So, what are you making me watch, huh muñeca?”
“We’re watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,” you quickly searched for the movie on your TV, and grinned once the bright Disney logo shone.
“Really? A kid’s movie? That’s why you’re wasting my time?” Miguel quirked one eyebrow and crossed his arms.
You scoffed, clearly offended. Sure, you could see his muscles through the fabric of the shirt when he crossed his arms like that, but it was beside the point and you would not let it deter you.
“It’s not just a kid’s movie! In fact, it was the first ever animated movie! It was a trendsetter! This movie walked so all animated movies could run! It’s a landmark in cinema history, it’s - “
“Vale, vale,” Miguel interrupted you, “I get it. It’s a big deal. Very important. Can you just press play?”
And so, you did!
At first, Miguel didn’t get it. It was silly. The plot was silly. Very silly, actually. Why would a Queen be worried about not being the prettiest? It sounded like a very weak reason to hate someone. It’s not like this Snow White girl wanted to steal her throne or her kingdom. And why dress her in rags? Clothes wouldn’t be able to hide her physical appearance. Sure, they could make her look dirty and unkempt, but they wouldn’t necessarily make her ugly. And what’s the deal with that Magic Mirror anyway? How can it talk? Why is it magic? Does magic exist in this world? How? It’s not really established, it just sort of exists. And the animation – it wasn’t at all that good. It was rather rudimentary, and not at all like the great landmark you mentioned.
“Miguel, it’s a movie. Don’t think about it too much,” you’d mumbled when you saw his expression, the one he always had, with the furrowed brows and tightened lips, the one that signalled he was deep in thought. “Just go with it, okay?”
He did.
Once the Prince and Snow White shared their first duet, he was kind of sceptical, but after taking one good look at you and your content expression, he relaxed, holding you tighter. You curled into his side and smiled.
And to be honest, he started getting into it.
After the Queen made her request to have the Huntsman hunt down Snow White, he shook his head. “What a hateful woman,” he said. “Hunting down a poor innocent girl just because of her beauty. Maybe the reason she’s not ‘the fairest of them all’ is because she’s actually hideous on the inside”. You beamed at that. Miguel seemed to be getting in the spirit.
Once Snow White found out from the Huntsman about the Queen’s order and ran away into the forest, you could sense Miguel was nervous. The dark shadows and hidden figures that so scared the young Princess had him tense up. You nearly chuckled out loud. He was scared. “Everything alright, my love?” you asked him. “Pobrecita….” Was all he said, shaking his head.
When Snow White started singing and gathering the animals around her, Miguel snorted. You looked up at him, confused. What seemed to be so funny?
“That’s you,” he said, pointing at the screen.
“Excuse me?”
“That’s you, alright. Always surrounded by people, bringing them together. Everyone in Spider Society loves you. Watching you interact with those idiots is like watching this movie.” He looked at you and you melted before those chestnut eyes. Bringing your hand up, you pressed a soft kiss on his jaw and turned to the movie once again.
How sweet he was.
He could try all he wanted. He could be tall, bulky, mean, scary Miguel all he wanted at HQ – around you, he was as needy as a lost puppy.
“Pft – look at her! Breaking into a random house in the woods. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is how she got herself killed.” “Miguel, shhh –“ “It’s the truth! What if this is a trap set by the Queen, huh? Snow White is not as careful as she should be.” You chuckled at Miguel’s comments, most of them which funny rather than annoying. His scepticism and aloofness in life provided him with a different, more realistic view on the movies. You had to admit though – he was right. What if it was a trap?
“Hah – that’s us,” Miguel said as Snow White began to clean up the house. “Although I wouldn’t want a weasel cleaning my plates – is that deer licking them?!” “It’s a –“ “Yeah, yeah, I know. ‘It’s a movie Miggy, don’t think too hard about it’. I know, I’ve heard it. I’m just stating a fact – it’s disgusting.” You hummed, “I’ll be sure to keep that in mind next time you feel like licking me –“ “That’s different cariño, I just can’t help –“, “You’re not watching, Miguel!”
“That’s grumpy?!” Miguel’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. You laughed, shrugging your shoulders. “I think you look exactly like him. And look at his scowl!” Miguel shook his head and pouted, and while you should’ve stopped teasing him, you just couldn’t stop with the laughter. He looked exactly like the character, with his sulking expression and crossed arms. You had to pause the movie for a while because tears were streaming down your face. Miguel sulked even further, and only relaxed once you’d kissed him plenty and told him he was “a very handsome grumpy” and “the grumpy of your heart”.
“Tch, if I’m Grumpy, then you’re Dopey.” “WHAT?!”
It’s important to note it was only now that Miguel even realised you were clutching a bowl of popcorn, so he accused you of “hoarding” and placed in on his lap so the both of you could share. Or, well, share whatever was left of it.
You two watched the rest of the movie, Miguel still throwing in small quips about the characters here and there. He smiled as the dwarves danced with Snow White, foot actually tapping to the rhythm of the song. When Grumpy seemed to melt after the princess had kissed his head, he almost melted. “Maybe I am your Grumpy after all”, he said, to which you giggled and took a popcorn from the bowl.
As soon as the Evil Queen appeared once again, he scowled cursing her name in Spanish.
“Snow’s far too kind for her own good. Who’d take an apple from a stranger? The dwarves told her not to let anyone in. She’s far too trusting for her own good.” He mumbled, shoving handful of popcorn into his mouth (you’d had to go get a new pack). “Well, she’s kind and good. She saw someone in need and wanted to help. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.” You replied. “Yes, but people take advantage of her. The Evil Queen is preying on her kindness. Qué pendeja…”
It was eerily quiet once Snow was inside the coffin, and the dwarves were mourning her loss. You tried to say something about it, but he quickly shushed you. The tables had turned – this was it; he was interested in the movie.
But that sadness did not last long. The Prince came along and kissed Snow White, waking her up. Of course, Miguel being Miguel, he made some sort of comment about how “how creepy it was he’d just kissed a corpse out of nowhere”, but there was a smile in his face when they rode off to his kingdom, so you paid it no mind.
After the movie had ended, you looked at him. It was hard to decipher what was going on inside that beautiful head of his, but you tried, nevertheless.
“So?”
“So what?”
“Did you like it?”
Miguel stared at the television some more, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“You’re telling me this was the first ever animated movie?” he asked, still looking at the screen.
“The very first.”
“I see. Well, the animation was quite rudimentary,” he began, “And the plot had some flaws. Snow was far too trusting.”
You bit the inside of your cheek. Of course, it had all been in your head. Why would he have liked an animated movie? It wasn’t his style and all. He probably thought it was girly and stupid, and you’d just wasted his time.
You were beginning to utter an apology when he kept speaking.
“But it was fun. I liked it.” His eyes were soft, finally holding your gaze. Sure, the movie wasn’t particularly his type. He wasn’t a big fan of princesses, and there were far too many musical numbers for his taste. But he got to spend one whole afternoon with you in his arms, watching as you smiled and giggled and gushed over this movie that you clearly held so dear in your heart, and he would do it all again in a heartbeat, just for the privilege of seeing you happy.
And if that wasn’t love, then what was it?
“It reminded me of how selfless and kind you are.”
You blushed under his praise, and hid your face in the crook of his neck. Miguel brought his hand up and caressed your cheek absentmindedly.
“I’m serious, cariño. Sure, I may be Grumpy all you want, but you’re just as good and altruistic as she is.”
You looked up into his eyes, cheeks aflame and heart all fuzzy.
“You think so?”
Miguel smiled and placed a chaste kiss on your forehead.
“No, I’m joking. You’re Dopey.”
He laughed loudly and you huffed, throwing the now empty popcorn bowl aside to all but jump on him, attempting to tackle him doing and tickle him. He let you do whatever you wanted for a while, pretending you could compete with him, falling on the couch and feigning defeat. But he quickly got bored, and held both of your arms with one hand, flipping the two of you so you were laying on your back, and he hovered over you.
When he kissed your neck repeatedly, you laughed out loud, willing to surrender. Miguel knew all your secret spots – he nosed the one you were most ticklish in, and you yelped, feet kicking up. He merely smirked at this reaction and kept placing kiss after kiss after kiss on the column of your neck.
“As I was saying,” he said, matter-of-factly, lifting his head to kiss you gently on the lips. You were so beautiful; he wondered what the shock he must’ve done to have the privilege to be with such an amazing woman.
“I enjoyed our time together. If you’re happy, then I’m happy. ¿Mañana vemos otra?”

One thing I love in some if the older comics and books is how characters from the Disney movies will just randomly appear in the Mickey and Friends world. Like...
Mickey Mouse: I am glad we managed to stop the Phantom Blot before he could destroy that orphanage and it seems like we may still have time to go to the baseball game.
Goofy: A-Hyuck!
Mickey Mouse: What are your thoughts Snow White from 1937 Walt Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"?
Snow White: It was scary, but I am glad everyone is safe.
Tinkerbell: Come on let's go to the game!
Dumbo: Yeah!

An Analysis of Dire Crowley
Crowley is weird. We don’t know how old he is, what magic he has, who he’s twisted from or even where his homeland is. What we do have is a few clues. (The rest of the analysis is under the cut due to length).
The symbol of NRC is a raven/crow holding some keys and wearing a collar, a collar that resembles Grim’s, save for its more key-like shape.
Crowley himself has keys all over his outfit, and has a connection to crows (CROWley). Since we don’t know his age he could be the founder of NRC for all we know. But that would be a debate for another time.
Crowley himself is a rather fishy individual. His name itself is suspicious. Dire can mean: 1. (a situation or event) extremely serious or urgent or 2. (of a warning or threat) presaging disaster. His last name, Crowley, is an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Cruadhlaoich ‘descendant of Cruadhlaoch’, a personal name composed of the elements cruadh ‘hardy’ + laoch ‘hero’. So it loosely translates out into ‘Descendant of the hardy hero.’ So the descendant of a hero that has something do with either an urgent event or a warning of a disaster. So could Crowley have something to do with one of our beloved heroes? There is also the theory that his name comes from Aleister Crowley, an occultist who became known as “The wickedest man in the world.” Quite at odds with Mr. “Because I’m so kind.” Both of these thoughts are intriguing but imply very, very different things about the character.
But what about his design? Crowley has pointed ears, something that has thus far implied fae blood. This would explain why we don’t know his age. So far, all the faeries have been related to Sleeping Beauty (1959) so maybe the theory that he’s based on Diablo (Maleficent's pet raven) is correct? His blue color scheme matches the color that pops up when you summon a Pomefiore character though and notably there is a crow in Snow White and The Seven Dwarves (1937). This could explain his connection to mirrors, since the most famous Disney mirror is the one from Snow White.
As for knick-knacks he keeps with the crow theme and is covered with shiny stuff. A total of four mirror-like accessories (three on his hip, one on his hat) and eight keys (four on his hip, three on his hat, and one as a cane). He is headmaster so maybe eight keys for eight dorms (Ramshackle, Heartslabyul, Savannaclaw, Octavinelle, Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, and Diasomnia)? Furthermore the 8th key for Ramshackle could be his cane as an indicator that the Prefect and Grim (also the only students of Ramshackle Dorm) are constantly in his hands and at his mercy.
On a slightly less ominous note, he also has glowing yellow eyes. This one has me a bit stumped to be honest. Why do they glow like little demented lightbulbs in his mask? Both Diavolo and the Raven from Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and The Seven Dwarves respectively have yellow eyes, but they don’t glow. The glowing eyes could be another indicator that Crowley is something not quite human.
All in all, while Crowley as a character comes across as largely harmless and rather bumbling, his name and design indicates something slightly more ominous. There are numerous theories going around about who he might be, including the particularly amusing one of him being Malleus’s dad. Additionally, Crowley seems to be particularly tied up with mysteriousness/suspiciousness that surrounds NRC, the numerous supposedly rare overblots that have been occurring, and Ramshackle dorm, which was oh-so-handily empty when Prefect showed up.

The Seven Dwarfs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Do Not Separate: All seven men live together, without any interaction with women prior to the film, which has lead to people jokingly insinuating that they exist as polycule.
VS
LeFou from Beauty and the Beast (1991)
It’s Canon: As of the live action remake of Beauty and the Beast in 2017, LeFou made headlines as “Disney’s First Gay Character!”.
Obsession: LeFou, in both the original animated film and the live action remake, is the lackey to the antagonist Gaston, and is characterized by his devotion and loyalty to him.

Snow White and Treasure
While I’m on her topic.
I noticed treasure in my re-watch of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Every key character’s treasure reveals their true nature on the inside.
Nowhere is it more evident than in the Queen herself, obviously.
Her treasure is holding the title of Fairest of All. That’s what she cares about. How she’s perceived. After all, why else does she sneak out of the castle through the catacombs? Why does she have the Huntsman do her dirty work—why not just kill Snow White on her own? She clearly gets way too much joy out of the idea of poisoning Snow White.
But she can’t do that. She has to hide her true nature, so she sneaks out of her own castle.
Ironically, her treasure is Being the Fairest—but she’s not beautiful on the inside. She’s ugly on the inside, like a rotten apple! And that fixation on getting her treasure eventually puts that ugliness on the outside, no matter how much she wants to look the opposite.
The next character we have who’s treasure reveals his true nature is Grumpy. (My favorite.)
All of the Dwarves treasure their own comfort to some extent. But Grumpy doesn’t just treasure comfort. He treasures his own safety.
After all, what is grumpiness if not a person who has been afraid and self-protective all their life? He’s always defensive, always on the lookout for a scam.
Grumpy is the last to change…and the only one who’s true nature is revealed when he does. Also, Grumpy is the only character who’s treasure changes.
Grumpy starts out being the most against Snow White. All of them are, at first, until they interact with her and she shows them what she can do for them.
But Grumpy takes the longest to warm up, because he’s not just afraid that she’ll bring the Queen to the cottage and put him in danger. He’s afraid of feelings. They make him feel unsafe.
I know that sounds weird but seriously. That’s his big beef with Snow White. He clearly likes her in spite of himself, but he’s terrified of opening up, because she’s A) new and different and B) getting attached is vulnerability, and vulnerability is dangerous.
That’s the opposite of Snow White! When she’s being her most vulnerable about her wish, he’s meeting the whole idea with scorn: “Ha! Mush!”
But he can’t help feeling, anyway. Because Snow White is so pure, and so not defensive, she gets under his skin.
And his treasure changes.
He goes from saying “get rid of her, she’ll bring nothing but trouble” to LEADING THE CHARGE to save her from the Queen.
He goes from treasuring his own safety to treasuring Snow White’s safety.
And that new treasure reveals his true nature: Grumpy is sentimental, and feels things strongly. Who is the Dwarf crying the hardest when Snow White dies?
Those two characters show that one’s treasure reveals their true nature, no matter how they try to guard against it or hide it.
The Queen’s treasure of her own appearance reveals that she’s ugly on the inside.
Grumpy’s treasure of safety reveals that he is very vulnerable on the inside.
But Snow White? Snow White’s treasure is not defended. Snow White’s nature is not hidden. Because Snow White is utterly innocent and pure. She just is who she is, beautiful and simple, and that’s what so great about her.
She treasures love—and she is loving. She tells the birds at the wishing well, and sings out her wish, for love. That’s rewarded; the Prince hears it and promises her his heart. (She’s his treasure by the way.)
She tells the Dwarves that she’s got faith in his love, and she knows he’ll come back, and they just adore her.
She’s every bit as beautiful and vulnerable on the outside as her treasure of love is on the inside.
When she encounters lost birds, what does she do? Love them. When she encounters orphans, what does she do? Love them. When she encounters Princes openly giving their hearts to her, what does she do? Love them. Her nature reflects what she treasures.
There’s no sign of anything but innocence, no hiding, no disingenuousness—because why should there be? The thing she treasures is a good thing. So that’s what makes her beautiful.
Beautiful enough to be the Fairest of All dressed in rags and dirt.
Beautiful enough to be granted mercy by a Huntsman who’s own life is on the line.
Beautiful enough to be buried in a glass coffin, instead of buried alive when the Queen’s plot succeeds.
Beautiful enough to be searched for and found, against all odds, by the Prince who fell in love with her at first sight.
Someone who values love highly, and lets that treasure shine out through every part of their nature, is powerful. They can strike fear and hatred into the hearts of the most self-absorbed, and transform the most stuck-in-their-ways, and inspire love in anyone who comes into contact with them.
That’s what’s wonderful about Snow White. She’s pure, from what she treasures to her very nature, and needs to hide nothing about herself.

Singin' in the rain:
One of the best musical comedies, full stop. Even as a child, I loved the delicious comeuppance at the ending so much I'd run into the room my mom was watching it in just to see that part. My brother hates musicals and he can still quote the mic testing scene with Lina. And the relationship between the main three characters? The good morning song? Cosmo in general? Unrivaled.
Snow White:
The first disney ever. The first full-length animated movie! It is... omg I don't even know how to explain but it's THE angular stone on which all of modern cinema rests, particularly animated cinema.

Profiles in Villainy
The Evil Queen
Lady Grimhilde Malis, erstwhile known as The Evil Queen, was a vile and ambitious tyrant. She gained tremendous magical powers by selling herself body and soul to the evil spirits of the Harz Mountains. She went on to gain her royal position by marrying the widowed King, giving her rule over his kingdom following his death. As the realm's new queen, her every word was law, and all trembled in mortal fear of her wrath.
The vain Queen used her magic to make herself the most beautiful woman in the lands. She owned a magical mirror that she frequently gazed upon. She regularly asked this magical looking glass who is the fairest in the realm. ‘Magic Mirror on the wall,' she would query, 'who is the fairest one of all?’ And each time the mirror would reply that it was she. One day, however, the mirror stated that the fairest of the realm was now the young princess, the Queen’s stepdaughter, Snow White.
The Queen was sent into an envious rage. She dispatches her Huntsman to slay Snow White. Yet the Huntsman was taken by Snow White’s beauty and innocence and he chose to spare her, telling her of the threat and helping her to hide in the woods. Deep in this secluded forest, Snow White found refuge in a cottage and was cared for by seven kindly dwarves.
Ultimately discovering that she had been betrayed by her Huntsman, The Queen decided to kill Snow White herself. She created a poisoned apple that will put whoever eats it into a death-like sleep. This curse could only be broken by ‘love's first kiss,’ yet the Queen was certain Snow White would be buried alive before this could occur.
Using her magic to disguise herself as an old hag, the Queen traveled to the cottage while the dwarfs were away. The animals of the forest saw through the disguise, but were unable to warn Snow White; instead these animals rushed off to alert the dwarves. The Queen fooled Snow White into biting the apple, and she fell into a death-like slumber.
The dwarfs returned with the animals as the Queen was leaving the cottage. They gave chase and the Queen became trapped upon a cliff. She tried to roll a boulder to crush the dwarves but just then she was struck by lightning and fell from the cliff to her death.
Unwilling to bury her in the ground, the dwarves placed Snow White within a glass coffin and kept vigil over her along with the animals of the woods. Some time later, a handsome Prince discovered Snow White's fate and he visited her coffin. Saddened by her apparent death, he kissed her, which had the effect of breaking the spell and awakened her. The dwarves and animals all rejoiced as the prince took Snow White to his castle where together they ushered in a new era of peace and happiness.
Actress Lucille La Verne provided the voice for The Evil Queen, with the villainess first appearing in the 1937 Disney feature, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.

my plan to torture myself with every disney movie ever made
rn i’m on a mission to torture myself with watching and re-watching every animated disney movie (not pixar, the shit from the other studio) bc i have absolutely no life and i choose to spend my time as a grown adult watching shit made for 3 year olds. i’ve never been a big disney fan i always found the movies boring af bc they’re way too kid friendly and hardly appeal to adults or have any edge to them, unlike nickelodeon cartoons and even shit from other animated movie studios like dreamworks and blue sky, but that’s a whole different story (i love pixar tho) like even before disney turned into woke bullshit i never cared for it that much, but the movies back then were still 100x better than the crap they’re making now, honestly i think disney went downhill when they started making the movies CGI bc tangled was their last good masterpiece. it ruined that classic animated 2D feel that walt brought to the table. honestly this is a huge problem in animation in general like why is every movie CGI now can we please go back to the 2D shit??? so yeah i’m actually uncultured af and have hardly seen any disney movies DJDJSKSK and the ones i have seen i only watched once when i was a kid so it feels like my first time watching a lot of these. so yeah anyway i feel the need to torture myself with a bunch of movies i don’t even like that much bc as an animation connoisseur i don’t like feeling uncultured abt literally the biggest animation company in the world and feel the need to give my expert opinion. aladdin is the best i’ve watched so far in my binge that movie is honestly top tier and the only one i consider a cinematic masterpiece (AND appeals to adults), now i understand the hype around that movie bc i’ve been living under a rock. i feel like the genie character added a huge comedic element to it that most disney movies are missing lol. beauty & the beast is def a close second tho that movie feels 100x more mature than the other disney princess movies. ig disney movies are supposed to be animated dramas rather than comedies so yeah if ima go in expecting comedy ima be disappointed lol. so if ya’ll see me randomly posting shit abt disney movies in the next few days now u know why. we’ll see if i can also get around to torturing myself with some of the live action remakes and direct to dvd sequels and see if they’re rlly bad as everyone says they are lol. the only remakes i’ve seen are alice in wonderland, cruella, christopher robin, & maleficent (and prob 101 dalmations a longass time ago). i’ve been scared to watch the rest bc of how shitty they look lol.
what i’ve watched so far in this binge:
•snow white & the seven dwarves - this movie is boring af and dopey carried the whole thing. like 50% of the screen time is spent on animals singing, imagine having the opportunity to make the first ever full length animated feature film in 1937 and u choose to make a movie about a bunch of dumb animals SINGING
•sleeping beauty - boring, what even is this movie? the title of this movie should actually be “three retarded fairies” bc sleeping beauty herself does absolutely nothing in this movie LOL
•cinderella - boring but better than sleeping beauty & snow white. i loved cinderella as a kid tho but yeah as an adult not so much fhjdjsks
•peter pan - so damn boring MY GOD this one might actually be the worst i’ve watched so far, it’s not as good as i remember it being as a kid
•aladdin - MASTERPIECE i’d def wanna watch this again
•beauty & the beast - i love this movie def one of the better disney princess movies
•bambi - sooo boring but it’s cute & i get why kids like it, and no i didn’t cry when bambi’s mom died bc i don’t give a fuck about a cartoon deer with 0 personality. also thumper carried the whole movie
•working on pocahontas now this movie is boring af so far and it makes 0 sense how the native americans speak english LOL

How's this for an animated LWW mock-up @raspberryzingaaa ? Would definitely want more of Pauline Baynes's influence in the art style, but I kinda like it
Image sources: Bambi (1942), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Artbreeder images run through the ToonMe filter, Balto (1995), Arrietty (2010), The Lord of the Rings (1978), The Lion King (1994), Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937)
#the existing lww is charming but ya know. low production values#will attempt to do something similar with the rest of the series as time and inspiration allow#leah and nia do narnia#reading fairy tales again#narnia

Question? If you *had* to change the old Disney Snow White movie, either to adapt it to audiences now, or to make it closer to the original story, or fit your own headcanons? What would you change?
Asking because I genuinely haven’t thought about the movie until I saw you talking about the new live action version. And now I’m thinking about rewatching the movie and trying my hand at rewriting it.
What are the things you’d definitely keep, vs things that you might add if it got more screen time, or even stuff you’d cut or change. (One of mine is actually seeing the Hunter’s family. Which might be my forgetfulness? But I don’t think we do in the movie)
personally, I love 1937 snow white so much that I wouldn't change a thing hehe. I think it's wonderful the way it is.
But if I were to make my own adaptation (which I'm dead set on doing if I ever get the resources and ability to do so)....
I would do my own spin that focuses more on snow white's bond with the dwarves instead of the romance with the prince. As much as I am a sucker for romance, I do adore platonic relationships as well, especially those that are family-oriented. And snow white and the dwarves are my favorite parts of the 1937 film, so why not expand on that? Thus, the prince would probably be cut from the story, and it would be the dwarves who break the spell (they each give her a farewell kiss on the forehead that collectively breaks the curse). another thing I'd change is the dwarves, to an extent. they are still seven little men, but they lean more on the fantasy side. I'm thinking they'd look like a mix of a dwarf, gnome, and gelfling.
elements I'd keep are snow white's traditional attributes (hair black as ebony, skin white as snow, etc.), the evil queen setting multiple traps for snow white (I recall in the original fairytale that the queen tried to kill s.w. with a cursed corset and hairbrush? I'll have to brush up on my snow white lore), and the true love's kiss that breaks the sleeping spell.
I'd also load it with German fairytale aesthetics! I'd want it to be traditionally animated, in a similar style to these other works:
(pls watch a clip of "the girl from the other side" [third picture] bc the animation is crazy good)
The general tone of my version would be a mix of dark fantasy (Don bluth vibes) and peaceful cottagecore (studio Ghibli). Generally a calm, beautiful, but eerie film that isn't afraid to get "Grimm" (eh?! eeeeehhh???!!).
I hope you don't mind my wall of text lol. I just love snow white :P
