I’d rather go see someone doing a dramatic reading of the original Grimm fairy tale. The Grimm Fairy tales are great
Folklore is great, Folklore Studies should be much more popular than gender studies.
Oh fuck no. You know that if folklore studies were more popular, we'd be buried under an avalanche of very serious papers about how Cinderella is akschully a metaphor for sodomy.
Find the versions of the stories before the Grimms actually bowdlerized them.
The Grimms were no different than Walt when it came to wanting to deliberately tone things down. Old stories and songs were wild and often bloody and brutal.
Sir James the Rose, Llittle Sir Hugh, Long Lankin.
I didn’t know that. They seemed pretty brutal to me. Is there a collection of these even earlier works?
Well, besides the Romance of Reynard cycle (which can be found in different forms around the internet) I'm afraid I can't remember anything specific where I might have come across pre-Grimmified folk tales, beyond "my local library" (seriously, I spent a lot of time in its non-fiction section), and then, I'd come across stuff "here and there", not in one specific book (though I do remember a collection of Coyote tales from North America that explained and did away with the censorship that white scribes had imposed on most Native tales - those are mostly dirty, with the usual amount of storytelling violence.)
Best bet might to be to ask at some literary nerd forums; they'd also know what's available now (the number of books that haven't been digitized is breathtaking.)
Thanks!
Still White and the Jewish Stepmother, okay then.
I just wondered about this too. What do they do in the Disney parks with all these rebooted franchises?
Which by now might be just about everything but Pocahontas (obligatory Pocahontas reference: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_FYt0N05wY0).
I didn't know a sequel to Epic Movie was in the works
Snow White... Wasn't even that good a tale to begin with. It only succeeded due to market conditions when it came out, then coasted on the fame from then on. This film's starting on an upwards battle, and they want to handicap it even more.
Token and the seven tokens?
Snow White and the Seven Figure Opening
It's good they won't let this film be held hostage by the SAG-AFTRA strike though.
About this point, Jon Snow is more accurate a retelling than this movie.
Seven? Math is racist!!!
She's the leader of the dwarves now.
