My Thoughts

Retellings have been super popular the last few years, so I was excited to see one that blends two if my favorites: Snow White and The Wizard of Oz. This definitely had some interesting twists.  In this version, a pair of magic shows turn Snow White into a princess, and all the prices are turned to dwarves by an evil witch. They will all work together to bring down the witch and restore order.
The story is unique and fun with some really colorful characters. My kids thought it was great, and I would love to see more stories like this in the future. If you'd like to grab a copy of this awesome DVD for yourself, you can find it online at Amazon or in stores nationwide.
