LOL (part 7) - Snow White Trailer Trash Talk

Art:  Archibald The Psychotic Housecats Den of Insanity

 

One of my cherished memories of Disney's Snow White (1937) is when my dad took me to see it in the drive-in movie theater. I remember how much Dad laughed at Dopey.  He loved Dopey.

Since 1937, many retellings and remakes and reimagining of Snow White followed this classic with a built-in fan base. Yet, the latest in 2025 seems to be as cursed as the poison apple with PR nightmares and bad press.

Then the trailers came out...with the reactions.

Below is a sample of the "trailer trash" reviews, with biting humor.

Three previous review videos (part 4 is shown above):

Part 1:  https://youtu.be/bgPDxRkci_A?si=sBQrTEqRm5A_4oqP 
Part 2:  https://youtu.be/4HBd37NERrw?si=12Wq3nB0YxHMzEMj
Part 3:  https://youtu.be/8N38hW2eBq4?si=LGcdx1smcc0wgBtz 

In all fairness, I haven't see this version of Snow White...yet. But this 3-minute recap of the 2 hour movie doesn't seem so bad.

Who knows? Maybe Snow White 2025 could become a cult classic.

Or if the reviews are right, the devil really is in the details.

March 14, 146 years ago a child was born. 

At first, nothing seemed remarkable about this child. He was taken out of school as he was considered what was then called retarded. Later, a failure.

But he was a boy who just needed some confidence....
