Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

[imholdingoutforahero]

A very heart-warming series by artist Marciano Palácio. 

Sadly it still is considered shameful by society for a boy (or a male of any age) to like and identify with strong female characters, which is why the message that these illustrations convey is particularly important.

Made a comic with my Snowrora AU! I know some of you wanted to learn more about the AU and while it’s not a lot I’m really happy to share this with you all 💖

You know something I noticed about Enchanted and Disenchanted?

In the first film Giselle the “First Princess” character of that franchise was heavily influenced by Disney’s own first princess Snow White.

And in Disenchanted Morgan the “Second Princess” character of that franchise was heavily influenced by Disney’s own second princess Cinderella.

Since I already did a practice comic based on Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, (well Maleficent) I figured I'd round it out and do one for Snow White this time :)

Still getting a feel for typography/speech bubbles but we'll get there 👍

it's really sad people will keep on defending the terrible little mermaid movie cause they wanna cry racism and other movies cause of crying racism. honestly I'm tired of it, the original little mermid is better, original snow white is better, everything orignal is better. but since disney want to get political, their stocks are failing and their losing money. disney is crashing and burning, they can't make anything original anymore.

Yeah, true.

I think the idea of "original is always better" isn't 100% true. The truth is, Disney used to do retellings better than anybody.

Snow White's original fairy tale, in the Brothers' Grimm version, is very good. It's all about pure innocence. But Disney came along and made a bigger, more fleshed-out version. In Disney's retelling, the Dwarves had personalities instead of being cave-dwelling blank slates, and the Prince actually met Snow White while she was dressed in rags and still loved her instead of seeing her asleep and dressed beautifully for the first time.

Those changes that Disney made to the "original" fairy tale for their movie didn't ruin the original. They just deepened the original. They complimented it.

Audiences back when the first fairy tale was being told may have understood that Snow White's beauty = purity and innocence, but Disney knew that audiences in the 1930s would need more information to understand, and enjoy that message. So

The Prince is interested in Snow White before be even knows she's a Princess, and before he even sees her beauty, because he hears her singing about love genuinely. It's her pure innocent love that attracts him.

The Dwarfs all have personalities, but the one thing they have in common is their fear of new, potentially uncomfortable things. It's not until Snow White and her genuine, selfless love comes into their lives that they start being selfless and brave, too.

The Queen dies the same way she lived: trying to bring harm to others because she only looks out for herself (even though in the original fairy tale I believe she faces capital punishment instead of her own jealousy destroying her.)

Same thing with Cinderella, and even with The Little Mermaid. The fairy tales weren't invented by Disney: the animated Disney versions were retellings. But that's the difference:

Retellings - Stories that change some details about the original, but never change anything that strengthens the important themes of the original. They're not exactly the same, but they're faithful to everything that the originals stood for.

Remakes - Stories that change the themes of the original: erasing everything that the original stood for and trying to re-write what the characters should stand for for modern audiences.

And that's the problem. Disney used to do faithful, complimentary retellings of timeless stories. Those stories were worthwhile, and Disney did them justice. Disney reminded modern audiences of the themes and values in old stories.

Now that's not true anymore. Disney doesn't remind people of the original, timeless values of old stories. It tries to rewrite those values, and in doing so, it says "those values were never timeless, or even fit to be called values."

That's the painful thing. Disney used to be the best name in retellings. Now it's the worst name in retellings.

Time to put an end to the Florian hate. To me, I don't think that was their first meeting.

Back in the day, Florian heard Snow's singing voice. He wanted to meet her, but Queen Grimhilde turned him away. She didn't want anyone to see her stepdaughter. So instead Florian started having a conversation with Snow White through the castle wall. He was too short to climb over, so instead the two sang songs and told stories to pass the time. Sadly they didn't see each other for years. Snow's father was murdered and the Queen reduced Snow's role to a scullery maid. She hadn't forgotten her mysterious friend from long ago and prayed she'd see him again. Florian suddenly had problems of his own. His mother was struck with a werewolf curse and under the light of a full moon murdered his father in his own bed. Florian burst in with his rapier and stabbed the beast multiple times. But by the time the beast died the moonlight showed it's true form.... his mother. Florian buried his parents along with the rapier that slayed his mom's werewolf. It was coated in their blood and he never wanted to use it again. Instead he took up a silver dagger as a means of remembering what befell his mother and father.

Time had passed, and Florian found some peace in poetry and songs. He got to thinking about Snow White. He had never forgotten her after all this time. He wanted to see her again and this time in person. But it dawned on him she wouldn't recognize his voice, it's so much deeper now. So, he made a love song just for her hoping she would remember too.

As if retracing a moment from the past he again heard her singing. This time as a grown man he would scale the wall and see her. She was just as beautiful as her singing voice. He was so excited he ended up surprising her, so much so she was startled. But he remembered his plan and started singing the song. Snow was finally hit with the fact she was addressing her beloved friend from her youth. It moved her he made a song just for her and dared to defy the queen to finally meet her face to face. To share her love and gratitude she sent a kiss via a dove and sent it to him to let her know she remembered and was overjoyed to finally meet.
