This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

When I first saw this film, I thought it was okay. After a couple of of more watches, my mind is still the same. Could it be better? Yes. Is it that bad as most say? No, I don't think so. In fact, half of me felt attach to this film more than Disney. Yeah, some of the animation is cheesy, only 2 out of the 4 songs on here are memorable, but it is good. I like the somewhat "dark" atmosphere that was put up near the end, brings such suspense. I also did like how this Snow White, in terms of appearance and character. She is both an action girl while having a soft quality to her still. At most, this is a film that is a family movie, not meant to be taken too seriously, but very enjoyable for kids and adults. Give it a try.

It isn't absolute perfection, and it certainly isn't as good as Disney's 1937 classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"(one of my all time favourite movies). But it is a charming, clever and underrated sequel. The reason why I have given it a high score, is because I genuinely enjoyed it. "Happily Ever After" mayn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I personally do not think it deserves the low rating on IMDb. It certainly isn't the best animated movie ever, but it's not the worst either. What I loved about this film was that it wasn't trying to be a masterpiece, it was trying to be charming and clever and it succeeded.The animation isn't always that spellbinding I admit. Snow White looks very pale here, I know she is meant to have white skin, but she looked a little too faint. But there are some nice colourful backgrounds especially in Mother Nature's song, and I liked the character animation of Lord Maliss. I have seen worse animation in films like "Secret of NIMH 2:Timmy To The Rescue" and "Titanic:The Animated Movie" where the colours are garish and the editing all over the place, but for me that wasn't the case here.There have also been complaints of bad songs. I actually liked them, except for Scowl's song. Then again I am biased, because I dislike rap in general. But the other songs are lovely, especially "Thunderella", sung by the youngest dwarfelle, who is so adorable, and I liked "Mother Nature". I have to say that Irene Cara sings beautifully during the end credits song "Love is the Reason". The score was breathtaking, I love a good score in films, and the beautiful and haunting motifs used here really brought some charm and feeling into the film.The film is very short, but there is a clever and engaging story that kids especially will find easy to follow, and some very good scripting. I actually found myself laughing during the arguments between Sunburn and Muddy, and also the Magic Mirror's dialogue was funny. Also the part when Scowl tries to distract the Prince from rescuing Snow White and crashes into a tree was a great moment. I know people got scared, I for one gets the creeps from villains like Hexxus, Chernabog and the Nightmare King, but the part when Maliss first turns into the creature scared me a lot. Also I cried when Snow White is crying over the Shadow Man's body, and when she touched him as that was ever so touching; I do like protagonists who don't judge others by their looks.I also liked the characters. Snow White isn't the most engaging protagonist ever in an animated movie, but I like her beauty, pureness and innocence. Maliss is a deliciously great villain, seriously he is. While sinister mostly, he does have some truly juicy dialogue as well. Also he does have a good motive, he wants revenge on Snow White who he holds responsible for his beloved sister's death, I know that has been used many times before but oh well. What I liked most were the unique personalities of the dwarfelles, they were fun and interesting.The voice acting; by far the best asset of the movie. Irene Cara is quite emotive as Snow White, and Michael Horton in the little amount of time he has is appealing as the Prince. Tracy Ullman is very sweet as Thunderella, Carol Channing(who voiced the mouse in Don Bluth's "Thumbelina") is witty as Muddy and Phyllis Diller gives a wise account of herself as Mother Nature. Tsa Tsa Gabor (sister of Eva, the beautiful Hungarian actress who voiced Miss Bianca and Duchess in "The Rescuers", "Rescuers Down Under" and "The AristoCats") is good as Blossom, Edward Asner is hilarious as Scowl and the late great Dom DeLuise is great fun as the Magic Mirror. The best vocal performance comes from Malcolm MacDowell as Lord Maliss, sinister yet manic, it was either way a truly phenomenal performance.In conclusion, I liked this movie very much. It isn't perfect, but I can name worse animated movies. If given the chance, this is quite charming. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I stumbled upon this one day in my local library when I was about six, and I wanted to rent it right away. I was pleasantly surprise when I started to watch it that it became one of my favorite movies. I think at one point I had all the lines memorized. I remembered that it was indeed frightening, but in an exciting, mysterious way that I don't think most children would be bothered with (if a six year old didn't find it scary, please, I doubt anyone else really will.) I've read some comments on here with people complaining about how scary it was, and all I can conclude is that you need to get out a whole lot more. This film is like Barney compared to some of the things I've seen kids these days watch. Now, years later being a horror movie fan I can only giggle at how I thought everything was so scary about this movie.Did the animation suck? Yes it did. I recently rented this from the library again, curious to see it years later (one of those trips down memory lane) and as I watched I began to count all the continuity/animation errors and I wound up with a very high number lol. But was the story that bad? No, I actually remember liking it more than the original fairytale as a kid. This was much more exciting, and to this day I still love the villain, Lord Maliss. He's so deliciously evil, how could anyone refuse him? Getting to characters, was Snow White a cardboard cutout in this film? Yes, she was. But was she even flatter than a piece of paper in the original Disney classic? Yes, I found the original Snow White to be whiny and annoying. I also thought this Snow White was a lot prettier, excusing her unexplained hairstyle change every few minutes (I found it strange that sometimes her hair would be seen up in a ponytail, hanging down loosely or just wearing this strange, gravity-defying headband.) Scowl the owl had me laughing a couple of times, too. The only thing is that his sidekick, Batso, bothered me. He was, if anything, EXTREMELY annoying. I found myself wanting to slap him every now and then. The Dwarfelles, I thought, were some of the most original little creations to hit children's movies. Each one of the Dwarfelles carried a unique, fun, loving, and most of all interesting personality and had inspirational qualities to them. I found this especially true with Thunderella, such a cute little girl and I thought she had the most catchy tuned song as well.Which now brings me to the music. Many people have accused the songs of being annoying wastes of time. I must disagree, I thought each one of the songs were original and likable in their own way, but I admire Thunderella's little song the most and it will always be my favorite. Even Scowl's song is fun, but I can only wish that Irene Cara was given a chance to sing.I really don't know why this film flopped, to this day it's one of my favorite films of my childhood and will always have a special place in my heart.8 stars outta 10

This was a fun movie when I was young. There were a lot of things I liked about this one, even if it is often considered a lousy film. One thing that really bothers me (and has bothered me since I was like 6 or something) is the prince. Who on earth could fall for that pansy! geez. The Dwarfelles are the most adorable magical pint-sized ladies ever (especially Moonbeam!). On it's own it's a pretty cool kid's movie. I liked the songs, even if some consider them lame. I recently popped it into the good ol' VCR to watch out of boredom and nostalgia. I sang along with every song. I could still remember all the words....It's just when compared to the Disney movie it runs into problems. The movie varies too much from Disney to be considered a sequel, and most people forget that, and reject this film for that reason. If Disney had intended on a sequel they would have made one. It's cute and stuffed to bursting with morals! It is a bit on the cheesy side, but who doesn't like a little cheese?
