4K Digital Review of Snow White (live-action)

 

This live-action Snow White was called by many as a disaster. Most of the internet buzz was highly negative and definitely from more people that clearly did not see the movie than by those that actually watched it. There are some story changes that might be deemed as "Disneyfied" modern approaches here. There is a large multi-ethnic cast. There are also several new songs that have more of a contemporary feel. Rachel Zegler as Snow White was delightful and her songs were perfect for her. 

I guess it could be argued that the story changed made this more of a Cinderella story than a Snow White story but for me they fit the modern approach to telling this tale. All in all, a good effort that sadly got more slack than it deserved. 

Video:

The 4K streaming video is stunningly gorgeous. Here the CG elements almost flawlessly combine with the practical elements. The colors literally explode off the screen. Take time to enjoy the highlights of Snow White's color palette or the darker tones of the Evil Queen's palette of teal and jade. This is a masterclass in digital transfers.

Audio:

The Atmos audio track matches the video quality note for note. Dialogue is crisp and clear. The score feels like it is floating around you through the surround channels. The environmental sounds, especially those of the forest, are noticeable throughout the movie. Scenes with the Magic Mirror and the wild mine car sequence make the most of creating an immersive audio experience.

Conclusion:

This version of Snow White has very impressive visuals and fun, new songs. Zegler is great as Snow White. The technical aspects of the film are stellar. The bonus materials are few but enjoyable. A welcomed addition to your library.

Craft Time: Snow White Paper Doll

Download Snow White Paper Doll Template 

How to make it

1. Print out your princess on regular paper or cardstock. Cut out each piece with a craft knife or scissors. Do not cut along the dashed lines -- this is where you will fold the paper.  
2. Line up Snow White's back with her torso and glue them together so that the design is now two-sided. After the glue has dried, fold the bottom part of Snow White's torso towards you along the blue dashed line. Then, fold Snow White's face away from you along the red dashed line across her shoulders.  
3. Take Snow White's chest piece and fold along each dashed line. Make each fold away from you. Glue the G tab and H tab to the back, white side of Snow White's chest.  
4. Spread glue on the F tab of Show White's chest and press it into place on the F area on Snow White's torso. Make sure her shoulders are lined up correctly.  
5. After the glue dries, add glue to the I, J, K, and L tabs and press them into place. Hold the pieces together until the glue dries. You may need to use a pen or pencil inside her chest area to position the tabs just right.  
6. Fold each of Snow White's arms and glue them so that the design is two-sided. Make sure they are lined up before the glue dries. Attach the arms to each side of Snow White's body under each shoulder by gluing the E tab to the E area and D tab to the D area.  
7. Cut slits in the top of the skirt opposite of where you fold each A tab. Fold each of the dashed lines at the top of the skirt and each A tab away from you. Starting from left to right with the yellow side of the skirt facing you, glue each A tab to the back of the skirt piece next to it to create pleats.  
8. When you are finished gluing the A tabs you may find it easier to glue the C tab to the inside of the skirt before gluing the final B tab pleat.  
9. Finally, attach Snow White's completed torso to her skirt by gluing the white side of the tabs at her waist to the top of the skirt. The ruffle on her skirt should be in front.
