Snow & The Queen
The Grimm Brothers' timeless 1812 classic fairy tale of a young, beautiful princess, driven from her kingdom by an attempted murder at the hands of a depraved, vain, power-hungry villain-queen consumed by her own vanity, who is saved by seven dwarves and a handsome prince to exact her rightful revenge on the queen.
This rendition is NOT the Grimm Brothers' short and simple version, nor a cute sing-along Disney cartoon or live-action variation. This new witty and goofy spoof comedy is a dramatic, figuratively amplified telling of the Grimm's story, told in a comical way through the use of redundant tautology and pleonasm, with ironic satire befitting the original storyline.
In this, we see the obviously untold, sarcastic backstory of the queen and her vain obsession with her beauty, which has had negative consequences for her storyline. And an unwilling tag-along lackey who is forced to endure his queen's obsessive adventures to kill Snow. A realistically naive and airheaded outcast, Princess Snow meets the reality of the world that the Queen had created, and in the process stumbles into a mutually helpful relationship with eleven dwarves. Yes, eleven dwarves, not seven.
In the meantime, more clarity is presented in our presumably handsome and foolish prince and his faithful servant, who, in Grimm's wonderful story, spend 10 years wandering the woods looking for a spellbound, semi-dead girl in a glass coffin. Slapstick humor and sarcasm parody the storylines of Grimm's tale, which differ from that timeless story and will leave you laughing and crying. This creative realization put a new and unique spin on the character's personality, quirks, behaviors, and challenges, bringing a clever, amusing approach to the story to life.
