Mirror Mirror Review - A Snow White Story

Reflections on "Mirror Mirror"

On an early Saturday morning a few weeks ago, my sisters and our families made our way through the typical So Cal traffic and not-so-typical pouring rain to the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood to see the eagerly anticipated new Relativity Media film "Mirror Mirror".  Although it was an early call for a Saturday morning, we were up for the adventure! It was after all, our first time ever being invited to a Red Carpet Premiere and we weren’t going to let a little weather put a damper on things. The whole way there I kept wondering what happens to the Red Carpet when it rains. We came to find out, like everything else, it gets wet.  But, the plus side? When life gives you rain, you can also find some sunshine. For example, sharing your umbrella with those who forgot one, like let’s say, Gilles Marini’s family.  Yes, yes I did.

Speaking of silver linings, the day continued on with pretty princesses, child star introductions and an utterly fantastic party; all just jewels on the crown of the movie "Mirror Mirror". Of course, the entire event from beginning to end was an exceptional experience but even with all the glitz and glamour aside, the movie itself was extraordinary!

A fun, funny, and fantastical family film, "Mirror Mirror" was impeccably cast (I seriously have a huge crush on Lily Collins now and of course Julia Roberts was her ever-awesome self), cleverly written and beautifully filmed.  If the costumes aren’t enough to blow your mind (giving Marie Antoinette a run for her money) the landscapes will be. The panoramic shots of the castle were totally breathtaking.  Being a photographer, I am always impressed with rich visuals. "Mirror Mirror" was a true feast for the eyes! 

As for the story? Beyond the fairy tale theme which no matter what they say, never gets old, I loved the more modern messages woven throughout that suggest it’s time to rewrite the story. One of my favorite lines being the one that Snow White herself delivers, “I’ve heard so many stories where the prince saves the princess, it’s time we change that ending.”  I kid you not, the whole audience cheered. Being a mother of daughters…I loved that!

The Snow White in "Mirror Mirror" is beautiful and kind, sweet and enchanting but she also had a lot of fire in her.  She’s brave, bold, clever, cunning, smart, stubborn, tenacious and tough.  Oh, and she can sing and dance too. Do not leave before the credits roll or you’ll miss the charmingly infectious song and endearing video, I Believe in Love performed of course, by Lily Collins, Snow White herself. I doubt you’ll exit the theater without being smitten!

The Queen was wickedly funny and surprisingly endearing considering she’s, well, Evil. Of course, she horribly cruel and completely self-centered but the character was written and and delivered with such lighthearted sarcasm and wit, that you kind of can’t help but love her…in an “I hate her” kind of way.  Julia Roberts was perfect for this roll.

As a side-note, it happened to be Lily Collins' aka Snow White’s birthday the weekend of the premiere. Check out how surprised she is when they wheel her out a huge birthday cake in the shape of a giant red apple in the video we took below. 

Adorable.

"Mirror Mirror" is a perfect way to share some theater time with your family. With only a few more darker potentially scary parts (closer to the end, as to be expected) this movie is well-suited for almost all ages and from what I could gather from the energy that buzzed around the party that followed, the children and the grown-ups alike loved it! I know we did.

If you want to get into the Snow White spirit with your kids, check out these fun "Mirror Mirror" inspired crafts from Make and Takes. There’s a mirror and a crown craft you can do with your kids. 

Such clever ideas!

"One of the most beloved stories of all time is coming to life in the motion picture event, Mirror Mirror.  A fresh and funny retelling of the Snow White legend, Mirror Mirror features breakout star Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, a princess in exile, and Oscar®-winner Julia Roberts as the evil Queen who ruthlessly rules her captured kingdom. Seven courageous rebel dwarfs join forces with Snow White as she fights to reclaim her birthright and win her Prince in this magical adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance, and betrayal that will capture the hearts and imaginations of audiences the world over.  The film also stars Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the Prince, and Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) as the hapless and bungling servant to the Queen."

Disney Princess Designer Collection Dolls

Ladies and Gentlemen... 

Presenting the Disney Princess Designer Collection

Now exclusively at the Disney Store every Monday through October 24th one limited edition doll will be released and available for purchase. Disney has taken their dolls to a new level of excellence. The timelessness of 1950s-1960s glamour, with the high fashion modern edge of today.

This elegant new collection has been carefully crafted by Disney artists to re-imagine the magic and style of the classic Disney Princesses. Dolls included in the set of 10 are Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Snow White and Tiana.

Cinderella was the first Princess to be released. This past Monday it was Ariel. 

Who will be next? Can you guess?

Quantities are limited and edition size will vary. These limited edition dolls cost $59.50. Or can be bought as an entire set for $595.00. (For a very limited time) Each doll is sold in a special keepsake display case with intricate details on the base, including their name. They will also include a Certificate of Authenticity. One doll will be released each Monday, and the identification of the doll will not be disclosed until that day. The dolls are available ONLY in Disney Stores and online at the DisneyStore.com.

We got a chance to see these beauties at the D23 Expo, when they unveiled the collection and they are stunning! We love the great amount of detail on each doll. Cinderella carries a "coach" purse (pun intended), Snow White is holding a poisoned apple, Rapunzel has a mirror in her hand, Belle is holding her rose and Jasmine carries a magic lamp. We took photos to share with all of you. The entire collection of Princess Designer Dolls are on display now at your local Disney Store, but you can only buy the ones that have been released.

Be sure to look for matching Disney Princess accessories and home products including clothing, cosmetics, stationary and more.

Disney Pop! Vinyl Figures give Vinylmations some Competition

If you haven't been to the Disney Store lately, you are missing out on a new collectible item that is giving the popular Vinylmations a run for their money! Introducing POP! Vinyl Figures by Funko. They are TOTALLY adorable with big heads & little bodies. Each affordably priced at $12.50, they have 12 characters that are in this first group of collectibles including these Disney favorites:

1.) Mickey Mouse

2.) Buzz Lightyear

3.) Woody

4.) Sulley

5.) Mike Wazowski

6.) Pinocchio

7.) Jiminy Cricket

8.) Snow White

9.) Maleficent

10.) Tinkerbell

11.) Cruella De Vil

12.) Stitch 

Which ones will you collect? We just bought some for our kids, my older daughter chose Mike Wazowski & my younger daughter picked out Jiminy Cricket. My personal favorite is Snow White. My husband likes Stitch. Which one is your favorite? Do you think Pop! Vinyl Figures will become as popular as Vinylmations? One of the good things about them is that you can see the character that you are buying, so you don't get stuck with one you don't want. Or is that part of the success of Vinylmations, that it's a gamble, and you never know which one you are going to get? Is trading Vinylmations half the fun? What do you think?
