This high-spirited, engaging family comedy is a tale of mistaken identities that challenges stereotypes and reassures us that it's ok to be different. There are some genuinely funny moments and wise-cracking remarks in Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs that will entertain tweens -- and parents -- as well as plenty of silliness for younger kids. The story is clever and fast-paced, with a strong cast of characters. Red Shoes is warm but feisty, Merlin is amusingly narcissistic, and the odious and pretentious Prince Average (pronounced "Ah-vu-rahj") is a classic cartoon villain. Meanwhile Patrick Warburton -- aka Lemony Snickett in the brilliant TV adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events -- is deliciously entertaining as the evil but hapless Magic Mirror. Show At times you might question the clarity of the message -- does highlighting a character's physical appearance debunk or exacerbate the stereotype? But ultimately this is a smart take on Snow White that's full of heart and good humor. And by the end, it's crystal clear that beauty does indeed come from within.

Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs, known in Korean as simply Red Shoes (레드슈즈, Redeu Syujeu) is a 2019 South Korean computer-animated fantasy film produced by Locus Corporation. It is based on the German language fairy tale "Snow White" by the Brothers Grimm, and its name is derived from the Danish fairy tale The Red Shoes by Hans Christian Andersen. The film features the voices of Chloë Grace Moretz, Sam Claflin, Gina Gershon, Patrick Warburton, and Jim Rash. Plot[edit]On Fairy Tale Island, a group of heroic princes called the Fearless Seven – Merlin, Arthur, Jack, Hans, and triplets Pino, Noki and Kio – save a Fairy Princess from a dragon. However, after seeing her green face, they assume she is a witch and attack her. To teach them a lesson, she curses them to transform into green dwarfs whenever people look at them. The curse can only be broken by a kiss from "the most beautiful woman in the world", which they believe is impossible. Seven years later, Princess Snow White, the overweight but strong and kind daughter of King White, sets out to find her missing father. She returns to her parents' castle, where her stepmother, Queen Regina, has taken over. She finds a message from her father telling her to find the seven and not to trust apples. She finds a pair of red shoes growing on a tree, which grant eternal life and beauty. Snow wears the shoes and transforms into a slim version of herself. Regina suddenly attacks, unaware that the slender woman is Snow. Snow escapes on a broomstick and crashes at the dwarfs' house. They prepare to attack, thinking she is the Fairy Princess, but welcome her into their home upon learning otherwise. Snow is shocked to see herself in the mirror and renames herself "Red Shoes". The seven are smitten and strive to impress her so she might kiss them. Regina hires the selfish Prince Average of a neighboring kingdom. Average's soldiers chase Red Shoes to try and kidnap her, but Merlin saves her. That night, Red Shoes and Merlin grow closer to each other. During this time, Merlin tells her he can't wait for her to see the real him. He asks Red Shoes to close her eyes and imagine the real him. She does, but tells him that whether her eyes are open or closed, to her, he is still Merlin. He writes off her honest opinions about him as a joke. Regina gives Average and his bodyguards apples and turns them into monstrous wooden bears. In a secluded forest, Red Shoes tries to give Merlin a hint about her real self, but instead confesses her feelings for him, and they kiss. Merlin is shocked to see that the kiss did not undo his curse, as he still thinks Red Shoes is the prophetic woman. Merlin fights off an attack by Average and his bodyguards, but as Average falls into a river, he takes Merlin with him. Red Shoes saves Merlin by removing the shoes and regaining her strength, exposing herself as Snow White. She pointedly asks Merlin if he would have helped her real self, and Merlin leaves, ashamed. She then puts the shoes back on, thinking Merlin still likes her for her looks more than herself. Merlin imagines a conversation with his dwarf self and, realizing that Snow White likes him for who he is on the inside, decides to help her. In the forest, Regina disguises herself as Merlin and asks Red Shoes to eat an apple to help remove her shoes, but the real Merlin arrives, and the exposed witch abducts her stepdaughter. In her castle, Regina again tries to force Snow White to eat an apple by threatening to kill a captured Merlin. Snow eats the apple and transforms into a new apple tree. Merlin fails to escape from Regina's magic mirror until the other dwarfs save him. Merlin sacrifices himself by falling down the castle with Regina to save Snow. With Regina dead, the wooden animals they befriended change back into humans, including King White. Pino, Noki, and Kio save Merlin and take him to Snow. He tells her she is the most beautiful woman whether his eyes are open or closed. After he dies in her arms, she revives him with a kiss, transforming him back into a prince. Merlin and Snow White happily accept each other's appearances, while Arthur remains confused by Snow's true identity. During the end credits, Snow and Merlin marry, while the other princes find their own unusual-looking girlfriends. The Fairy Princess fishes Prince Average out of a river and turns him into another green dwarf after he regards her rudely. Cast[edit]

Reception[edit]Critical reception[edit]Reception of the film has mixed.[2][3][4] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 40% from 5 reviews.[5] Fat shaming controversy[edit]A marketing campaign for the film revealed at the 2017 Cannes Marche du Film was criticized by critics and audiences for alleged fat shaming.[6] Chloë Grace Moretz, who portrayed Snow/Red Shoes, stated she was "appalled" by the marketing that she felt it did not reflect the actual film's message.[7][8] The production company immediately terminated the campaign and issued an apology, stating:
Later sources, including organizations aimed at promoting good messaging in family entertainment, would be more sympathetic to the film, noting that Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs is "loaded with valuable lessons for children and adults[9]" and "promotes body image and self-acceptance, while confronting stereotypes.[10]" References[edit]
