#snow white and the red shoes

[makethiscanon]

Every now and again I rewatch Snow White and the Red Shoes.

Snow White & Merlin is my Roman Empire, istg.

[fabuloustrash05]

Rachel Zeglar: I’m gonna be the first Snow White who is not going to be a damsel in distress dreaming about true love and instead she’ll learn to become a fighter and a great leader for her kingdom! No one’s ever done an independent Snow White before!

Me:

When he finds out his fellow athlete friend he's met online is also going to the Olympic games, Merlin is stoked, however he doesn't imagine that "Red_Shoes" isn't the artistic gymnast he thought, but her country's weightlifting champion. That doesn't stop him from getting the biggest crush on the pretty girl he saw training the other day though.

I bring you this humble sports au, as someone with 0 knowledge about the subject, besides the fact that literally every woman I saw competing on tv these days is gorgeous

Rachel Zegler: Our Snow White is going to be a strong independent woman who saves herself!

Me: We already have that version of Snow White. In fact, we got that version of Snow White 4 different times!

If I had a nickel for every time a great movie with an amazing message

Got box office bombed because of god-awful marketing

I’d have 2 nickels! Which isn’t a lot but, strange that it happened twice right???

Remember when Sam Claflin played in two Snow white movies, and both his character's where legit snacks 🤣🤭😍

Merlin and Self Worth in Red Shoes and The Seven Dwarfs

Merlin values physical appearance above almost anything in people, this extends to himself as well.

We first see him and the rest of the f7 attacking the fairy princess because he thought she was a witch because “she looked like a witch”. This is also the first example of him judging based on appearances.

The second example is his immediate acceptance of red shoes when she’d broken into their house. Continuously he’d make comments about other people’s appearance, her father included. Remarking how red shoes must take after her mother.

He also makes self degrading comments about his appearance. It’s mostly to red shoes about how she’d like him so much more once she sees what he really looks like, not seeming to bat an eye or believe her when she says she likes him and it doesn’t matter what he looks like.

It seems he only values himself for his appearance and that bleed into his view of others. He only thinks of himself as worthy and deserving of love if he’s “beautiful”, he doesn’t see himself as being lovable if the only thing he’s offering is himself as a person.

When in the forest after snow reveals herself, he has an epiphany that snow likes dwarf Merlin over human Merlin. This changes his entire view and ultimately realizing he loved snow(the person) for snow(the personality) not snow(the person) for red shoes(the appearance).

At the end of the movie, after he sacrificed himself, he looks at snow and says, “ you’re the most beautiful woman in the entire world. My eyes are open.” This is so beautiful because after viewing everyone with this judgmental lens, including himself, he finally can see people, namely snow, for who she is and for more than the girl he thought she was.

Edit/ he says, “whether my eyes are open or closed.” When he was dying. Not sure why I didn’t put that.

So I just watched Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs and it’s such a good movie.

And (spoilers) at the end the magic mirror is talking about how you can only take the shoes off if you want something more than what they’re giving you. They only really mention how she takes off the shoes to save Merlin, which is really cute and great, but she also takes off the shoes to feel more herself and more comfortable in her room before someone knocks on the door. And Snow also takes off the shoes to get away from the guards.

There have been times when she couldn’t take the shoes off, but also times when she could. Which I think is really cool.

She wanted to be comfortable more than she wanted to be “pretty”. She wanted to be safe more than she wanted to be “pretty”. And she wanted to save someone she cared for more than she wanted to be “pretty”. I think that’s all great.

(Also I find all the thirst edits I’ve come across for either Merlin without the curse or Snow with the shoes really ironic for what the movie is about.)

Fuck everyone who convinced me red shoes and the seven dwarfs was insanely fat phobic and shit

This movie is amazing and so reminds me so much of 3d animated 2000s animated movies just way better animated

It's free to watch on Roku channel or freevee or Tubi if you want to watch it
