RED SHOES AND THE SEVEN DWARFS

RED SHOES AND THE SEVEN DWARFS is a fun, endearing animated adventure that parodies the classic tale of Snow White with its own unique twist on the fable.

The movie opens with seven powerful princes saving a kingdom from the attacks of a dragon. However, in their eagerness, they mistake a fairy for a witch, who curses them by turning them into tiny, green dwarfs. The only way to reverse the curse is to receive a kiss from a real princess.

Cut to a montage. Viewers meet Snow White. However, after Snow White’s mother dies, the King marries Regina. Regrettably, Regina is secretly a witch. She ends up taking control of the throne and cursing the King.

Snow White isn’t the stereotypical princess. She’s heavyset and round. She sneaks into the castle, where the witch is guarding a pair of red shoes to make her beautiful forever. Snow White doesn’t know what the shoes do, but she wears them and is chased from the witch’s castle, straight into the lives of the seven dwarfs.

Snow White realizes her whole appearance has changed now while wearing the shoes. She wants to keep her true identity a secret. She tells the dwarfs her name is Red Shoes, and immediately they begin to scheme about how they can get Red Shoes to lift their curse. They agree to help her find her father in the hope their true identities will be restored.

The wicked witch recruits the help of a young, egotistical prince named Prince Average. He forces Red Shoes to attend his birthday party. Merlin and the six other dwarfs heroically defend Red Shoes against the Prince, and Merlin and the princess begin to grow closer. He continues to help her find her father, saving her many times along the way until, finally, there seems to be an opportunity to receive a kiss from Red Shoes.

However, will the kiss restore Merlin’s true identity and attract Red Shoes to him more, or will both their secret identities and motives ruin their relationship and doom the Kingdom?

RED SHOES AND THE SEVEN DWARFS is a funny, endearing animated adventure. Positively, this animated movie is one that both parents and their children can enjoy because the twists keep viewers on their toes from the classic story that people know and love.

RED SHOES AND THE SEVEN DWARFS has a strong moral worldview where love conquers evil and the importance of character over appearance. The voice acting and well-told story of honesty about one’s true identity makes this an entertaining, family-friendly movie. However, due to some cartoonish violence, flirting and use of magic, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for younger children for RED SHOES AND THE SEVEN DWARFS.
