Unofficial “continued” white

John Hawley’s animated film “Happy” after “was conceived as a continuation of the” Snow White “fairy tale. His story was partly extrapolated from the earliest published version of the Grimm brothers, but also partly from The film, which is made in Disney 1937 “Snow White and Seven Dwarfs”. “Fortunately, someday,” did not re-use any design, votes, characters or concepts of Disney (at least no one who has been open yet), but you can see how Holly’s movie relied on unclear cultural waters that Disney initially lost mass consciousness. For example, Snow White (Irena Kara) had almost the same hair and wore a similar dress to the character developed by Walt Disney.

“Fortunately, after” swayed during a short theatrical run, earning only $ 3.3 million at a modest budget for $ 6.8 million (although it was later rented on VHS). One of the reasons for which he fought was that Disney did not like it. In particular, Disney considered it a campaign that made “happily after”, thwarted “whiteness and seven dwarves”. Indeed, the film was already on the Disney list after the 1987 trial.

It seems Disney, who is always sad, believed that the animation function of the 1986 film “Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night” were just too similar to the movie “Pinocchio” Disney 1940. . The finalization won the caseClaiming that Disney had no legal requirements for the Burakio character. (That, again, true.) The case is discussed in Jerry Beck’s invaluable book “Animated Cinema”.

Disney returned when “with pleasure when -the” opened inside the country in 1993, saying that once again that the film thwarted the studio to make his movie “Snow White”. The original works of the film were “Snow White: Adventure continues”, “Further adventures of white” and – and I love this one – “White in the Land of Dum”.

“Happy -if -Nothing” happens after the evil queen of “White” was broken, and the white man is preparing to marry his beautiful prince (Michael Horton). As it happens, the evil queen has an equally evil brother named Malis (Malcolm McDowell), a wicked sorcerer. When he learns from the magic mirror (Delouise’s house) that his sister was killed, he was starting to build revenge. Then it turns into a dragon, while turning the king’s white into a wasteland. Thus, it is forced to fight Malis with the help of seven sisters of seven dwarves. Carmones, as they call themselves, are called Moody (Carol Channing), sunburn (Sally Kelleman), Blasom (ZSA ZSA Gabor), Marina (Linda Gary), Criterina (also Gary), Lunar Ray (Trace Ullman) and Thunderel (also Ulman). They are also engaged in the mother -nature (Philisis Dealer) in their scheme.

Other acting participants include Jonathan Harris, Ed Asner and, Of course, Frank Welker. The film boasted the All-Star ensemble long before the actors with great name regularly joined the animated functions.

After the film opened in the Philippines in 1989, Disney was already “happily after” and the movie. From the trial of Pinocchio, it was necessary to make it an animated fairy tale legally from everything that Disney did. Thus, the title was changed from “Snow White: the adventure continues” to the “white white” and the gnomes (the gnomes were originally intended for seven gnomes, but were to be gender in the column), and then, finally, “fortunately.” Unfortunately for several years the conclusion of the state film has been delayed because Film movies closed their doors in 1989Leaving the movie to find a new distributor in the form of the first national film corporation. (Thus, the movie did not debuet in the US until 1993.)

Of course, not satisfied that this had already caused enough problems for the shooting, Disney decided to hit “happily after” while he dropped. The film was released in American theaters on May 28, 1993 … And next July Disney decided to republish “White” and “Seven Dwarfs”. With a conscientious advertising company Disney more or less tried to bury “happily after.” Given that the movie is bombed, you can say that Disney was successful.

So that you did not think that the reprint of “seven dwarves” was a coincidence, understand that Disney pulled such tricks before. When Anastasia Anastasia’s “Anastasia Anastasia” was planned in 1997, Disney pressed the reissue of his own hit 1989 “Little Mermaid”. From this animation audience was divided between two films, resulting in “Anastasia” opened in No. 2 at the box office and “Mortal Kombat: Destruction” to manage the weekend (with a “small mermaid” that comes in # 3). In fact, these were Disney’s concerted efforts to cancel the competition.

All this happened after the incident in 1992, when “Ferngully: The Last Taintorest” was in production. Also, the movie “Fox”, “Disney” was indignant that another studio tried to enter the animation market. Its executives were also upset by this Their “Aladdin” star Robin Williams refused to give up Fox’s movie for the benefit of them. So, one of the Disney leaders at the time, Jeffrey Kanzenberg, found an animated studio that made “ferngully” … and bought it. In other words, the mouse house intentionally tried to slow the production on “ferngully”. It was a pretty cunning step.

Would it be “happily, if -nothing” was a hit, not constantly blocking it? Who can say? But its theatrical issue would definitely be smoother.
