The toned down Disney version scares some kids, I can't imagine what eating Snow White's heart or the witch roasting in her shoes would do to a poor kid. Snow White is a masterpiece as is. He made some great edits.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097441437159417314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-6353362145448539572010-12-14T21:09:47.007-05:002010-12-14T21:09:47.007-05:00Great post.

Disney has always taken a certain amount of criticism for bowdlerizing and sweetening the classic fairy tales, but even if we concede that there is some truth to the criticism, in the long run we have reason to be grateful. In our day of increasing cultural amnesia, you wonder how many stories like Snow White would still be part of our shared cultural experience <i>at all</i> if Disney had not given them a lasting form with which virtually everyone is still familiar.HBG2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05073387557562504315noreply@blogger.com
