But overall I found it bouncy and cheerful and playful, just a movie that wants to have fun and wants you to have fun watching it.

I'm really in the mood to watch that. I started re-watching Swamp Water last week, so I guess I'm shifting back into a DA mood?<br /><br />Also thinking it was time to re-watch Mirror Mirror. :-DDKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-90130488685056172472016-11-25T07:18:05.042-05:002016-11-25T07:18:05.042-05:00Jessica, I know, right?

He played a bad guy only a handful of times, but this is one.<br /><br />"Mirror Mirror" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" came out the same year, so it's easy to be confused by them. "Huntsman" went dark and gritty, while "Mirror Mirror" went cotton-candy fun and a bit silly.<br /><br />I hope you had a good Thanksgiving too!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-2185369655963468862016-11-25T07:15:56.918-05:002016-11-25T07:15:56.918-05:00MovieCritic, it took me years to realize it myself...MovieCritic, it took me years to realize it myself!
