WHY do people not like mirror mirror??? It has Julia roberts, it's so hilarious, and it has actual little people who all have their own characters and personalities (and are honestly the best part of the film, seriously, they're all so funny). AND Nathan Lane! Seriously, people need to start appreciating this movie. Please. It's so good.

The Evil Queen's corset tightening contraption is almost certainly based on this 19th century satirical drawing but there are other (also satirical) depictions of similar machines. You can see more here.

There are other, BETTER live-action Snow White movies!

Since the new live-action Snow White movie by Disney, which I absolutely REFUSE to watch, is just around the corner, I thought I'd share this with you.

If I want a live-action movie about Snow White, there's already plenty of choices, and now I'd like to list them:

Snow White: A Tale of Terror (1997)

A very dark retelling of the Snow White story, with a lot of misery and death in it; instead of Dwarfs, there are seven ruffians, but they are still miners (and okay: one of them IS a little person, but still); and there's even Devil-worshipping in it, but it's still an interesting take on Snow White. And Sigourney Weaver and Sam Neill are brilliant as the Evil Queen and Snow White (named Lily in this movie)'s father respectively.

Besides, I heard that the Grimm Fairytales were originally horror stories, so I guess this is as close as we can get to a movie adaptation of the original version of Snow White's tale. Maybe old Jacob and Wilhelm would love this film too. In fact, I think they'd prefer this one over the Disney movie...

Mirror Mirror (2012):

I know a lot of people thought this movie was stupid, but me? Personally, I thought it was alright. Julia Roberts was great as the Evil Queen. And the Dwarfs here reminded me of Time Bandits a little

Also, where was Peter Dinklage during the making of this movie? He throws a tantrum, when Disney wants to make a live-action Snow White, yet he was cool with this one using Dwarf actors? Or was it this movie that caused him to throw a hissy fit at the new one?

And now for my two personal favorites:

Sydney White (2007):

In this more modern reimagining of the story, Snow White is a college freshman named Sydney (played by Amanda Bynes), and she helps save the house of Seven Nerdy Students (this movie's version of the Dwarfs) from being demolished by a Sorority of Mean Girls (the leader of whom is film's version of the Evil Queen)

This one is like Snow White, Revenge of the Nerds and Mean Girls rolled into one, with a hint of Animal House.

(Hope Amanda Bynes is doing well...)

And last, but not least:

Snow White: The Fairest of Them All (2001):

Out of all the live-action Snow White movies, THIS is my favorite one! I love the over-all magical atmosphere, I like how the Dwarfs are depicted in this one, and I even love the cast: Miranda Richardson, Warwick Davis, Vincent Schiavelli, Clancy Brown, even Kristin Kreuk as Snow White.

In fact, I might as well watch THIS Snow White on the day the new one comes out. Or better yet: the classic animated Disney movie! Or maybe both...

How is it that I prefer a made-for-TV movie from over 20 years ago over a modern day high-budget Hollywood movie?

There! Those are my personal choices for a live-action Snow White movie, and also my recommendations.

And as for that new live-action Snow White? Yeah, I'm just gonna read the plot summary on Wikipedia and then forget about it forever...

Remember when Mirror Mirror came out and hired actual Little People to play the dwarves (*cough* instead of cgi'ing other actors to have the proportions of Dwarfism *cough*) and also tied their Dwarfism into the plot and their characters?

It’s about damn time the general public started appreciating “Mirror Mirror”!
