Well, despite the horrid rep this film has gotten, I will admit that I rather enjoyed it. Yes, it was no Disney sequel (Gawd, it wasn't even made by Disney, thank the Lord. Now, let's cross our fingers and hope that Disney doesn't make one - although it would probably be better than this movie was.), but I found it to be charming and squeaky clean . . . maybe too much clean.

The story continues the classic tale of the beautiful Snow White after her handsome Prince saves her life and they plan to be wed. Apparently, the evil Queen that harmed Snow White is dead, and her brother, Lord Malice is pretty pissed off by this; so for revenge, he wants to destroy Snow White. (Such a silly villain, to destroy a girl over your sister's death . . . violence is not the answer! LOL)
Well, Princey and Snow are separated in the forest by . . . you guessed it, Malice, and Snow White rushes to the only safe haven she can remember: the cottage of the Seven Dwarves. However, to her surprise, their seven cousins, the Dwarfelles (oh, how original is that?) have taken over the cottage and used it for their own bidding. Together - and after a bit of guidance from Mother Nature - the eight of them travel to save the Prince and reunite the lovers, all while defeating the revenge-seeking lord.

Well, the story was a bit obvious, and the animation was choopy and not even close to bad TV cartoon animation, but I still found it as a nice rain-day watch. The voice talent was total . . . BLAH, and the songs weren't much better (maybe with slight exception for the ending credits song: "Love is the Reason", sung by the voice of Snow White . . . who sounds more believable when singing than voicing the classic princess. Sad, ain't it?).

I will have to agree with one of the previous reviews on the characters of Scowl and Batso - they were well-designed and animated, thus making my review go up a star. (IMO, I liked Batso's character the best, although little Thunderella, one of the Dwarfelles, comes at a close second.)

In conclusion, if you like classic fairy tales that have a lot of boring girl power in it, this is for you. If not, watch the original Disney classic "Snow White" instead.

My Rating: 2 stars.
