-"How do you do?" -"How do you do what?!"
I am slightly, very slightly, hesitating how to evaluate this rendition of Snow White. On one hand, it was the first film I ever saw on the big screen as a little kid (and I even remember the visit, the sitting down, the lights going out and the opening of "the doors of perception"). On the other hand, it still is a film about the healing power of cleaning and other housework and that does not fulfil my idea of the perfect fairy tale. And that is still speaking on behalf of that little kid sitting in the cinema. I watched the film now to see it as an educated professional but I found myself to still be that simple kid that enjoyed that one joke and the few mildly horror-ish moments and that's about it.
