I don't like it.

I hate how the Heigh-Ho song is only one verse, whistle and repeat. And they sing it all the way home. It was light when they left the mine, it was dark when they got home all the while singing that dumb song.

And I don't like how the male singing voices sound like an AM radio broadcast heard through a hollow wooden box.

My daughter has been watching this twice a day for the past 4 days. Tried showing her Monsters, Inc. She wasn't really interested.

Why? Because it was made back in the thirties?

Gems and stones don't come out of the ground pre-cut.

Don't know about anyone else but if a wretched old lady came knocking at my door offering me food, I'd shut the door and call the police.

It's a kids film!
I don't think making it realistic was their key concern!

yup. killing and stabbing and plotting and poisoning. Good, wholesome children's entertainment.

Actually, Walt Disney didn't intend for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to be just for children. It was very much an experimental move to see how his movie would be accepted, because at the time, people thought that a feature-length animated film was an absurd idea.

Ha, I loved the Heigh Ho song myself as a toddler and kept watching that Disney Sing Along tape when I was 2 and 3. Then I think I wore the tape out because I remember when we moved, mom kept telling me there is no Heigh Ho and I couldn't understand how can it not be around anymore, I watched it at our old house and when we lived with one of my dad's friends. So either we lost it or it wore out. She finally bought the video again.

And Disney wasn't always for kids. Back in the days, it was for everyone. Look at the smoking and the killing, the violence in it. And I hear there was racism in the shorts too and movies. I have never seen any racism. Now today it seems like it's for kids now and teens. Disney has changed a lot. Now it seems like they have to PC everything because people can't stop getting offended and they have to abide to them because they want to stay in business. I heard they edited out that McLeachs Home on the Range version song on Rescuers Down Under because it was about killing animals.

Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood. There have been plenty of things that my daughter had been stuck on that I couldn't stand. Luckily, she also loves stuff that I can stomach - like Family Guy, South Park, or The Venture Brothers.

I know, I know, boo, hiss to me for letting my little girl watch that stuff.

And just what was Snow White doing to, with or for these seven grungy dwarves?

I have my suspicions. She had to earn her keep somehow.

Didn't you watch the movie? She agreed to keep the house for them in exchange for them giving her shelter from the Evil Queen. :wink:

Oh My God. Snow White is just so vacant in that movie. She's a complete drip. Seriously, she deserved to be killed off with that poisoned apple. I can't stand her. If I were in that movie, I'd kill her myself.
