SNOW WHITE FAIRYTALE MOVIE
Unfortunately, just to confuse everyone, the script for the Rose Red project is mashing up the two Snow White tales.Īccording to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie will take place right after Snow White (the one from other Grimm tale) bites into the poisonous apple. Their mother even moves to be near the castle, and brings along her two beloved rose trees with her. The prince then proposed to Snow White, Rose Red marries the prince’s brother, and the four live happily ever after. But now that he was dead, the spell was broken, the fur was replaced with golden armor, and his treasures returned. The evil dwarf had put a spell on him and stolen his riches.

Then, in true fairy tale fashion, the bear sheds his fur and reveals that he is not a bear at all, but rather a dashing prince instead. The frightened girls turn to run away before they realize it was the same bear the girls previously befriended. One day, while the dwarf was being his usual ungrateful self and chastising the young girls, a bear shows up and kills him. This one was cranky, selfish, and powerful. The girls spent most of their time outside again, and began encountering a wicked dwarf who was nothing like the seven dwarfs we know and love. Spring turned to summer, and the bear left. Then, one cold winter night, a big black bear came to their cottage, and the benevolent family allowed the bear to come inside their warm home until spring. They were all around pleasant, and joyful sisters. They played with animals, and made friends with all sorts of creatures. The sisters were two of a kind and often pranced around the forest together, hand in hand. Snow White was calm, and loved being inside assisting her mother with chores, while Rose Red was energetic, and loved being outside playing in the fields. Their names stemmed from their mother's love of two rose trees outside of her window - one growing red roses and the other growing white. There were two sisters named Snow White and Rose Red living with their mother. Now onto the (very abridged) story of " Snow-White and Rose-Red." You’re not crazy - the brothers Grimm just wrote two stories with the same character. Got it? There is no Rose Red in the Snow White story that many of us are most familiar with. The Snow White depicted in the 1812 story is not the same Snow White as the one written about in the 1815 collection.

But then in 1815, in their second volume of fairy tales, the story of "Snow-White and Rose-Red" was published. This story would later become the inspiration for the Disney movie. In 1812, the brothers Grimm published a fairy tale titled "Snow White" in their first volume of Grimms' Fairy Tales.

The live-action movie, aptly-tiled Rose Red, will shift the focus from the rosy-cheeked Snow White and onto Rose Red herself. And now, we get to meet her sister - Rose Red. The dark and twisted fairy tale from Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm introduced millions to a sweet, demure, and tidy Snow White. In 1937, Walt Disney Productions released its first animated feature-length film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
