Snow White And The Huntsman and a second Snow White project, now called Mirror Mirror, are set to hit theaters next year. Both claim to offer a new "twist" on the centuries-old tale. But despite looking at the story in a new way, both films feature overwhelmingly white casts. How new and twisty. More »

Last week we saw an image from the Snow White movie directed by Tarsem Singh and starring Lily Collins, which definitely looked like a sweet, princessy fairy tale. But the Kristen Stewart version — directed by Rupert Sanders and produced by Joe Roth, who's partly responsible for the 3D Alice in Wonderland — has a decidedly different look. Instead of a ball gown and a sweet expression, Snow White wields a sword and shield. More »

Your First Look At Lily Collins As Snow White

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 14:04:00 EDT

The new Snow White movie is sure to be a visual feast, since it's directed by Tarsem Singh, responsible for vivid and surreal films like The Fall and The Cell. Lilly Collins (daughter of Phil), who plays the fairest of them all, exclaims,"I keep saying to everyone I feel like I'm walking into a snow globe, a fairy tale, every single day… It's so epic. I was part of a costume ball today, so you can only imagine the outfits." (This project is not to be confused with the other Snow White film starring Kristen Stewart. That should be… interesting.)

Is It Better To Be A Pixie Than A Princess?

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:40:00 EST

The oft-criticized Disney Princesses are big business for the Mouse Company, and an American childhood means being fluent in the language of castles, charming princes and "happily ever after." But the number one DVD on Amazon and Barnes & Noble right now is Tinker Bell, a movie about the fairy best known for her jealous, protective friendship with Peter Pan. But this new Tinker Bell is different from the old Tinker Bell — for one thing, she has a voice. And while she may not exactly be gainfully employed, unlike the Princesses, Tinker Bell has some kind of occupation: She fixes stuff. More »

Disney's world may be rife with princesses,...

Jessica G. — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:20:00 EDT

Disney's world may be rife with princesses, brides, bridesmaids and flower girls, but what happens after the wedding? You know, when said princesses get peas in their pods? Well L.A. Times writer Rosa Brooks points out that mothers don't fare very well in the wonderful world of Walt: "Pause for a moment to consider the fate of the princesses' mommies in those Disney movies. Cinderella and Snow White? Mothers killed off by mysterious illnesses. Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin? Mothers all missing; presumed dead." You know, because once you're over 25, you might as well be dead anyway. [LAT via WIMNs Voices] More »

Remember the Disney Bridal collection from yesterday? Guess what: It's not just for brides! Yup: the soon-to-be betrothed can include their bridesmaids in their princess-themed nuptials. Just like the wedding dresses, the bridesmaids collection is "inspired" by Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Snow White and each includes three styles of bridesmaids gowns.

Jennifer — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:30:00 EDT

Have you heard? Disney, the very same company that has been selling young girls the myth that if we sit around on your asses long enough, a prince will come and whisk you us off our feet, is now selling young women wedding dresses inspired by the various Disney princesses: Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Jasmine from Aladdin. The new Disney Bridal collection, now in its second season, rehashes the worst bridal design stereotypes and repackages them into looks that resemble those in the Disney movies we saw as kids... if we squint our eyes real hard, that is. After the jump, behold the latest collection by Disney Bridal designer Kirstie Kelly for grown women who want to dress like animated drawings. More »
