Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

I really don’t see anything wrong with the scene.

The animation looks worse than from the original (85 year old) movie.

If this is the best they can do they should have stuck with real actors in their live action movie.

That scene does look pretty awful. It is also disrespectful and they should have gone with real actors. Did they really feel it was THAT distasteful to cast actual people instead of CGI-ing the dwarves?

What’s awful about it?

You do realize this appears to be from someones phone right? Its why it looks so grainy and highly compressed. It'll likely look better once released on-screen in theaters.

Not to mention the film is not released until March… I am sure they will continue to tweak the animation… I see nothing wrong with the clip either though

I don’t think it looks good either, but this is a really strange way of putting it given that the original remains an unquestioned masterpiece of animation.

My issue is with the design of the characters. They just don’t look good to me. Dopey in particular is a major downgrade.

Its just a different interpretation of the characters. If you don't like them that is fine, but I wouldn't call it a downgrade. That is like saying any artists interpretation of something is a downgrade just because its not an exact duplicate copy of that that came before it.

I feel pretty confident in saying that not nearly as much artistic creativity or care went into these character designs as compared with the originals. In my eyes, it’s a definite downgrade, though I acknowledge that others may feel differently.

And let me clarify that I never once stated that I needed the characters to resemble their cartoon counterparts, let alone be carbon copies of them. That is the opposite of how I feel.

There was a similar clip posted not too long ago and it looked about that same. I don’t recall if it was a phone clip or not though. I also hope it looks better by the time it’s released.

It’s a natural comparison though, if a company is going to remake a classic they have to know people are going to compare it to the original, if they can’t make it look at least as good as the original they shouldn’t make it, or they should make it a completely different style.

The original Snow White is an artistic masterpiece, this look comical in comparison.

People complained when they thought the movie was going to be completely different from the original.

According to the conspiracy theorists, Disney freaked out and fired the star, remade the entire movie and added dwarfs at the last minute.

Now the dwarfs don’t look close enough to the original ones, so Disney should have made a completely different movie.

It’s almost as though the objections have nothing to do with the actual movie.

I don’t think anyone should realistically expect any remake to match its animated counterpart in quality. That hasn’t happened yet and isn’t likely to happen ever. The new dwarfs didn’t need to be anywhere near as good as the originals in order to pass muster.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, nor was I ever opposed to this movie. My objections are entirely sincere.

We both know I’m not talking about you.

 

[LittleBuford]

I actually don’t know that, because you wrote what you did in reply to a poster who, like me, seems entirely sincere in his objections. Perhaps you can clarify by pointing out which of today’s posts you’re alluding to.

I was replying to another poster referencing objections that have been raised by others over the course of this thread. If you don’t get it, that’s okay.

I’m not looking to get into any arguments with you. It’s really not my way.

He gives me Polar Express vibes.

Yes, there’s definitely something rather uncanny valley going on.
