The film is going to tank because there's no appetite out there for a
remake of Snow White.

A re-release of the original might do better.

If anyone likes...

"Snow White - any chance of seeing it in theatres again?"

It's from 2014. There are eight posters besides myself.

Apparently, even when a woman is in love with a man and even when they
want to be together, the worst thing that could possibly happen is for
him to kiss her while she is dead, to wake her up from being dead.
That’s the worst thing you could do in a myth. The best thing probably would have been for him to come along and just bury her.

For those who don't know, in the original story, Snow White does NOT meet the prince beforehand.

I.e., he falls in love with her at first sight - when he thinks she's dead - AND wants to take her with him!

From an adult reader's point of view, that's...never mind.


From Goodreads, by Ruth Ann (about the Newbery Honor-winning
autobiography of children's writer/illustrator Tomie dePaola, "26 Fairmount Avenue," 1999):

"My favorite parts are when Tomie shares the unique point-of-view of
a young child. For example, when he arrives at kindergarten and learns
that they won't learn to read until first grade, he immediately decides
to leave and come back next year. Another incident, is when Tomie goes
to the movies with his Mom and brother to see the original Disney
release of Snow White. He is appalled when the story line of the movie
does not stick to the book. He even stands up in the movie theatre and
shouts his disapproval. How could Mr. Disney have left out important
parts and used the ending of Sleeping Beauty? I found this heart-warming because I too am a reader who never thinks the movie version measures up
to the book."

And, for the record, the late dePaola was born in 1934.

So he COULD have been as young as three at the time - but he could have been a bit older, too.
