Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length cel animated feature film and the earliest Disney animated feature film. It was based on the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
The Plot: Jealous of Snow White's beauty, the wicked queen orders the murder of her innocent stepdaughter, but later discovers that Snow White is still alive and hiding in a cottage with seven friendly little miners. Disguising herself as a hag, the queen brings a poisoned apple to Snow White, who falls into a death-like sleep that can be broken only by a kiss from the prince.
Following the film's release, a number of Snow White themed merchandise were sold, including hats, dolls, garden seeds, and glasses. The film's merchandise generated sales of $8 million, equivalent to over $100 million adjusted for inflation.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has had a lifetime gross of $418 million across its original release and several reissues. Adjusted for inflation, and incorporating subsequent releases, the film still registers one of the top-10 American film moneymakers of all time.
Snow White was nominated for Best Musical Score at the Academy Awards in 1938, and the next year, producer Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar for the film.
It is a classic and a must watch film.

As a fan of Alex Flinn's fairytale re-tellings, especially Beastly, I was anticipating this novel greatly. It was a unique take on the Snow White tale's Queen, Huntsman, Prince and happily ever after. As the story of Snow White is pretty well known, there's not much I can say without giving away how this re-telling decided to approach the story. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy fairy tales and happily ever afters.

Acting, what is acting?
The story of Snow White is a classic, it's been told many times yet they still managed to mess that up.
What was the accent Kristen Stewart was doing? I don't know what it was, but it was bad anyway.
Chris Hemsworth is in it which is pretty much why I watched it, he's alright but again, his accent isn't the best.
Ravena keeping snow white all that time in a cell, why though? Ugh so much wrong I can't actually list everything.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall … "
A reworking of the Snow White fairytale, with Kristen Stewart taking the lead role and Chris Hemsworth taking time out from his Thor duties to portray the part of the Huntsman ordered to capture her and bring her back to the evil Queen (here portrayed by Charlize Theron) before instead becoming her protector.
And, yes, there are seven dwarves in this, although Snow White does not live with them at any stage nor are they given names such as Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, etc ...

The synopsis on the book confused and intrigued me so I went ahead and bought the book. As I started it became clear that this isn't the Snow White story everyone might think it is. Snow has control over snow and is being hunted by her evil father, the king of the land. She has a bunch of suitors in the land she travels too but she only has eyes for Bale. Not everything is as it seems. I liked that they twisted the story and made Snow angry, like bitter angry. What I didn't like is how convoluted it was. If you weren't completely paying attention you might miss clues and such.
