Happily N'ever After 2: Snow White: Another Bite at the Apple

source: Happily N'ever After 2: Snow White: Another Bite at the Apple

Snow White is a typical teenager who appears very self centred and always seems to be going out with her friends Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and little Bo peep. Once again Mambo and Munk tip the scales of good and evil and soon Lady Vain and Rumplestiltskin begin making trouble trick snow white into spreading rumours across about the townspeople. With the help of the seven dwarfs Snow White soon learns to restore the people's faith in her and truly learns to care about other people. It is an unusual take on the common fairy tale and in some aspects is a completely new story altogether. It is an enjoyable family film that gets the message of the story across in a unique way. Its story is simple but essentially is an enjoyable film to watch for all of the family. The characters are enthusiastic and great fun watch and a modern day twist on the usual versions of themselves.

Such a children's piece like this shouldn't be judged like an intricate masterpiece, but instead, like the nursery rhymes and short stories that we were all used to while growing up. Straight to the point and in a clever way so as to remember the message we are supposed to come away with. This movie is exactly what I was hoping it to be, a cute story that will repeat and three-peat a message that I think so many of our children are not understanding. Such gossip trash and vanity importance should be looked down upon and not taught to our youth. The importance of helping others and being true to yourself is a huge part of life and this movie helps to reiterate such life lessons. This movie is meant for our youth and it's straight to the point. Don't over think this movie and if you are, it's not meant for you.

The first was great but the sequel is bad i mean horrible don't watch it the story is bad and dumb the mean character snow white was dumb but sir peter was ok i mean i like his character more then the other people but monk and mumbo are my fav people in the movies but the was of them were stupid animation is bad and terrible the king only takes 2 seconds of finding a new queen so dumb dumb story bad acting horrible animation mean characters so stupid it should have called happily never after 2 snow white bites a apple and flees to go to Siberia and meets the seven dorfs and sir peter bad movie.

I think they should have had brought the villain Frida back from the original movie and I think some of the original cast should have came back for the sequel just my opinion.

I forgot I hated Happily N'Ever After I. I forgot I hated the stupid creatures, Mambo and Munk. I forgot how bad the animation is. (Compared to other contemporary animations. Barbie is better... and that's much said.) But I'm glad I did, because "Another Bite @ the Apple" was better than the first one. In this, Snow White is a spoiled, vain, egocentric brat. She lost her good and kind mother when she was just a kid, and now her life is all party, fun and looks. Her father decides she needs a woman's touch, so he decides to remarry. There is this ugly girl who was told that the Queen was loved by everyone because she was beautiful, so she tried to be as beautiful as the queen had been. The Magic Mirror makes her that. She looks exactly like the Queen, and the King wants to marry her. Snow White isn't happy about it, and mopes, so Lady Vain gets an enchanted apple from the Mirror. She gets Snow White to eat the apple. The apple doesn't kill her, it makes her share her innermost thoughts. This Snow White has something nasty to say about everyone living in the town, and Lady Vain lets everyone know what Snow White thinks about them, and they get angry and Snow White flees from the town. (Remember, the apple didn't twist her mind, she really, truly thought that way.) She finds her way to the Seven Dwarfs, who remember well the Queen, and because of her they decide to teach Snow White a lesson, and they manage to make her change her shallow ways to being as good and kind as her mother had been. So she goes back to the town just in time to interrupt the wedding, and her father decides he doesn't need to marry anymore, now that Snow White has changed. Lady Vain gets ballistic and uses the mirror as a weapon. Earlier Snow White had met "Sir Peter", an orphan who grew up in one of Queen's orphanages, and who adores the Queen, and doesn't much appreciate Snow White. Now, that Snow White has changed her ways, Peter notices that he likes her after all. When Lady Vain starts shooting magic around, he jumps in to rescue Snow White, and is knocked out of the way. (and he stays knocked out!) Her father joins the battle but he is old, and is just about to fall, when Snow White joins him and steadies his hand. Together - even Mommy Queen gets to be part of the family union, as they use her picture to guide the magic flare - they break the mirror and Lady Vain is ugly again. They are just about to hang her, when Snow White interferes and tells her outer beauty is not worth much, it's only inner beauty that matters, and the dwarfs agree to teach her the same lesson they taught Snow White. Happy End. Now, it wasn't anything one will regret missing... it's more the other way around. One might regret seeing it... Especially if one paid to see it. It has a nice message - helping others is what makes you beautiful, not clothes and make-up and hairdo. Also, the villain, even though she tried to kill Snow White, is not evil, just misguided, and there's hope for her. Animation, as said, was pretty bad. The king is a poor version of the king in Disney's Sleeping Beauty, and he wears Burger King crown... The wedding is accompanied with Wagner's wedding march, the bride is wearing a white dress, and the priest reads the Christian wedding ceremony... I suppose people wouldn't know otherwise that it's a question of a wedding. And even though the prince... er... Sir Peter, the orphan, I meant, had to fetch Snow White to the wedding, and found her in the middle of the forest fixing Humpty Dumpty, and then they galloped back to the castle and had to get over hurdles to get to the church in time, Humpty Dumpty, and everyone else was in the church already... just in time to witness in favor of Snow White, when Lady Vain claimed she hadn't changed. But if you can ignore such small details, it's not a bad movie. It's not good either.

There are so many things wrong with this movie. The first was amazing/funny. 1st: The animation was horrible and lots of things were wrong. Also, why was the dwarf's house so big inside? Snow white could easily walk through the door, it was her size perfectly, it should of been much smaller and harder to get in. 2nd: The characters were way too off character, at least Cinderella was like herself and not some brat. This movie felt like it was The Bratz. Why did Peter look almost exactly the same as the guy in the first movie? (forgot name sorry.) Where was Mumbo and Jumbo's boss? There was a lack of him which I hated. 3rd: The voice acting was terrible and not always in sync, why couldn't they keep the voices the same? (for Mumbo and Jumbo)I guess they voice actors could've of changed for a reason but it was really sad when I heard Mumbo's voice had changed, I used to love it so much. 4th:The storyline was just plain horrible. Extra: Snow whites father, the king was offered a drink, he didn't even take a sip, he picked it up and turned around then put it back down. Snow white's red head band was over her ears when she was a kid but when she grew up it was behind her ear? Surely she didn't keep the same head band all those years otherwise it would be dirty and broken at least in some manner.

It's like someone made a movie with Sims and voices with the personality of a wet dish towel. When watching both Happily N'Ever After movies I felt like I had been roped into attending an Elementary School Play without the satisfaction of seeing either of my kids on the stage. How was this deemed worthy enough for the screen?

This movie has changed my life; my perspective, my values, everything. With astounding, beautiful animation from the very beginning to refreshing and clever dialogue throughout the film, this movie truly takes the cake. The plot is captivating; I was at the edge of my seat for the entire hour and eleven minutes. The characters are memorable and remarkably well-written. The voice acting was exquisite, the lines so perfectly delivered. This movie deserves at least 8 Oscars.

So, it has been a very long time since I've seen the movie. Looking back, it wasn't as great as I remember. But, it could be how the movie looks. I watched it on a standard definition television and it looked pretty good. At the time. I had it on DVD and I mostly remember the stupid minigames. But, that's not what we're here for. To keep things short and sweet, it looks like a movie that really Pixar would've made way back in 1985. Excluding the animations, which are stiffer than a 2×4. The hair is... Well, they didn't even try. But the music is pretty good. Although, the sound effects shouldn't be used so frequently. I will give credit where it is due, it isn't trying to rip a certain movie off, this isn't Video Brinquedo here. This is Lionsgate, and while they're not known for the complete best movies, this is up there story wise. The voice acting, though, is a totally different story. So, I'm to assume the producers couldn't get the old voice actors back. Well, most. Munk and Mambo are voiced by completely different people. In the first film, it was Andy Dick and Wallace Shawn. But, only one makes a return and doesn't even voice the same character. Wallace Shawn didn't voice Munk, and Andy Dick didn't even make a return. So, there's a negative. But, the acting could be MUCH worse. Now, yes, I did mention there was a movie before it. Clearly, this is a sequel. But a bad one. Like, a really bad follow-up. So bad that Lionsgate made it only direct-to-video. The first movie had a theatrical release, though. This one didn't, and it really shows. Now, before I end this, remember before how I mentioned the animations were stiff? I didn't mention the physics. They're not on point. Whereas the first movie had decent physics, this one is way off. Then again, this movie wasn't a multi-million dollar project that failed to turn a complete profit. But, the first one didn't focus on the villainesses breasts for the physics. No joke, they spent more time animating them as if that's what kids were gonna look at. Well, if they didn't then, they will now. I'd speak on profit, but for some odd reason there's no documentation of the budget at all, only it's revenue. Though, it was pretty pitiful. In DVD sales, it generated just $2,488,134. That's pretty bad considering the first movie generated about $20,000,000 outside of theaters. To sum it all up, it's a lackluster sequel, but it remains cohesive and the plot is of similar fashion to the first one, excluding the modernizing of a medieval setting. While the first one has the charm and looks to make you like it to a certain extent, this one just falls too short. This movie had some good bits but that's about it. Maybe I'm too harsh with my rating, but I think it's fair enough.
