Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs is a HIDDEN GEM

[@NikkiBudders]

It's kind of awesome how Merlin's magic fight scene requires him to NOT be seen by Red Shoes. The extremely vain character cannot be seen during his moments of "glory" and they do not therefore define nor affect his relationship with her.

Add this to my list of "good movies I actively avoided because the marketing was so terrible that I not only wasn't interested, but didn't want to see it." >.>

[@CarrieTooTired]

curious to know what else is on that list 👀

[@libraryoflilylol199]

@CarrieTooTired The ones I have on the top of my head are Pixar mostly because Disney has been doing them dirty with marketing lately. So Turning Red, Soul, and Elemental all make the list. All of which I decided to watch eventually just to have a laugh at a bad movie and all of which turned out to be pretty good actually. But Nimona also made the list. The marketing for it made me not care so hard that I actively just did not want to watch it. I ended up watching it because of a video essay and it's one of my favorites so the marketing on that one is actually a crime because it made me not want to watch something that turned out to be one of my faves. The marketing on Nimona wasn't actually that BAD, but it really did not capture any of the elements that made it interesting? It just seemed like a generic boring movie with some cute art and I just didn't feel like watching something that I figured would make me sad due to wasted potential. Sometimes I watch something that isn't bad but could be a masterpiece and it makes me sad so if marketing makes me feel like potential is going to be wasted then I tend to avoid it.

The trait I will always think of FIRST from her is not her weight but the fact she was never insecure about her body. She saw it as normal as having five fingers, like a "Yes, and?" mindset. It says A LOT about how they've built her character. I can barely look at myself in the mirror without wanting to cry, and it's refreshing to see her be so mature and above it all. I'm more envious of her healthy mindset than any celebrity's body. No surgery/diet would ever get me to have what she has. Not in this lifetime, unfortunately. I hope these types of cartoons can help other kids not grow up to be like me, and be happy with whatever shape or form they are.

[@Mallowolf]

@@Essio.Coshibari hey friend, I’m so sorry to hear that you grew up with pain from how others treated you because of your weight. I also grew up with terrible self esteem in part because of that. Then I managed to become “conventionally attractive” and I thought *that* would help me stop hating myself, but it did not whatsoever -it’s a whole kettle of fish. What did end up helping was reading a book called _Body Positive Power by Megan Jayne Crabbe_. I share this in hope of helping you find something that works for you. Don’t give up. You don’t have to love yourself, but seeing your body as a vessel that allows you to experience being alive, and not as something that you have to fight against in order to earn empathy and respect is possible. Hope you have a nice weekend

[@yeet7794]

maaaan don't let people's words or your own get to you. I know it feels hopeless sometimes, but that's normal man. Learn to be ok with that feeling, and just ignore it little by little.

[@Beth-ux6jn]

Hey, this is painfully relatable! I've always struggled with my body and self-esteem. Thinking about the most beautiful people I know and imagining them saying the same things has helped slow the frequency of unhelpful thoughts. The most beautiful people I know wouldn't all call themselves beautiful. Many would even struggle to accept the compliment. But they are radiant. They are sunshine. People like them are the reason art exists, I'm convinced. I love them for who they are and what they look like comes with that. And when I ask them, they say the same of me. Even if we just pretend to be comfortable in ourselves, the difference that can make in the people who love and look up to us is immense. Loving yourself is an act of love for others, too. It's an act of rebellion. And it's a choice we can make every day in the smallest ways. You don't have to accept the thoughts in your head, them being there doesn't make them justified. That voice isn't you. Be safe ❤

[@jujuoof174]

Red Shoes is a PERFECT example of how you can meet in the middle, you don't have to be all outdated and cheesy like the 1937 Snow white, but you don't have to go all woke "Snow white is tough and doesn't need a man" like the remake apparently is going to do. I don't approve of either the old one, nor the remake from Disney, that's why I often gravitate towards non-Disney movies like Red Shoes, Raggedy Ann & Andy Musical Adventure, One Stormy Night, Storks, ect.... there's a lot more non-Disney movies I like than Disney ones! Yeah, obviously I'm not much of a Disney fan but you mentioned Red Shoes, and I'm here for it! Also, keep in mind that this is a Korean movie and the fact that they made it about plus size body positivity, really is groundbreaking! If you don't know, for the last 10 years throughout the Kpop and Kdrama industry, the beauty standards have always been tall, skinny and curvy. There were literally Kpop idols who starved themselves and couldn't dance because they needed to achieve that perfect skinny waist! Western countries are more accepting to plus size and thicker women, but the Korean beauty standards are different and are just now starting to show more body variety in Kpop and Kdrama. The fact that a Korean movie showed plus size body positivity is a big deal, let alone the fact that they totally nailed it! Snow white didn't keep the shoes accepted herself, and Merlin thought that her plus size self was beautiful! This movie is such a beautiful and cute adaptation of Snow white, and I like how they also took inspiration from Shrek, and this movie isn't considered "too girly" so that everyone can enjoy it. This will be the Snow White that MY kids are gonna grow up with, not your ancient Disney cartoon version from ancient times.

I do know what you wanna tell me: Merlin was so shallow as it goes in the beginning but later on wasn't. Actually developed. I loved that Red Shoes wasn't after putting..well shoes "I'm finally thin!" but "wait a moment.....this isn't me" so she accepted her looks, accepted she's chubby and liked that.

This is truly one of my favorite movies. I originally bootleg-hate watched this movie and ended up buying it and forcing my family to watch it lol.

character growth

Just like the movie's Aesop "you can't judge a book by it's cover".

[@mk-aka-morgan8386]

I thought this movie was fun for a one time watch, but it’s not a movie I’d probably watch all the time. I know a LOT of people didn’t like this movie, and I don’t blame them, but I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve definetly watched WAY worse movies, I’d give the movie a 6/10 and if someone asked me to watch it with them I probably wouldn’t say no 🤷

Anyone else see Prince Merlin and immediately think "That's Jim from Trollhunters?"

[@benten3648]

Happy late birthday! And thank you for the new video lol

[@TheJestersMUSIC]

YES- IM SO GLAD MORE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING IT NOW- SOMEONE MAKE MORE MERLIN EDITS I NEED MORE PLASE

[@CarrieTooTired]

merlin fancam editors rise!!

[@Ashleycolorful]

I remember watching and LOVING this movie as a kid, i'm glad it's getting recognition.

[@matijasostojic4288]

Listen... I get the theme of the movie and I am not a shallow person. But if the girl I saved looked like the daughter of handsome squidward and shrek I think I would also instinctively zap her with lightning.

[@Nytesplat]

@@matijasostojic4288 “I’m not shallow” *proceeds to be fatphobic* haha you certainly aren’t shallow! You’re a pathetic excuse for a human! Hahah

[@CarrieTooTired]

that’s a deadly combo 💀

[@kiiroi.o]

28:36 WDYM MERLIN WAS VOICED BY SAM CLAFLIN!?!?!?

[@sweett4580]

I LOOVE this movie sm! It's a part of my childhood and also, the adorable love story like SO GOOD

[@KisholiGunarathne]

I watched this years ago (Back in 2020) and watched it again this year I love it so much hee :)

[@senatorpalpabean2638]

This movie is by far one of my favorites! It's so cute, uplifting and sweet!! The moral is so uplifting, and the animation is insanely well-done!

Happy Late Brithday Carrie

[@Koubles]

I'd never heard of this movie before watching this video. I'll be honest I was quick to write it off as a low budget knockoff like the weird CG Pinocchio movie was from last year. But I'll admit, this movie looks pretty good! I mean, it's kind of a jumble of movies that have already been done before but it looks like it has its own identity. The animation quality is way better that I expected, the voice acting is pretty good, the story is cute, the message is wholesome. I could see this as a late night guilty pleasure watch. Good review! Happy October B-Day. :)

[@CarrieTooTired]

Oh gawd not the yassified pinocchio movie- …also I’m a September baby but thank you 💖

[@Koubles]

@@CarrieTooTired oops, sorry about that. And of course, happy birthday either way! Gonna go give this movie a watch. 👀 Also, "yassified" is the best way to describe the entirety of the weird mind trip that is that movie. XD

[@craven_the_crow]

Unpopular opinion. Beast is fiiiiine. Human beast is... Eh..

[@CarrieTooTired]

…I thought everyone loves Beast > Prince Adam

[@jordan-my2vl]

@@CarrieTooTiredi actually like my men a lil fruity so prince adam was my MAN

[@princembat]

idk who was in charge of the marketing but i just wanna talk... they so screwed the movie before it was even released :[

[@Sidya68]

did you know that in the original concept art for this cartoon, Jack was originally supposed to have a beautiful mermaid boyfriend? But in the end, he was changed to a fish with legs... minus the representation.

[@wildfire9280]

That feels a lot less like shallowness and a lot more like profiling on the “F7”’s part.

[@Pinky_Lover_]

Never thought I'd see any red shoes videos, I never even watched it online I just watched it on DVD (Like years ago) But I'm glad I am because I absolutely LOVED that movie

[@mountain_dreams]

YES! i Watched this movie after the Saberspark video about it and honestly I love this movie, and it sucks that the marketing flubbed so badly it portrayed the movie as exactly the opposite and now most people didnt even watch it and just remember it as "that fatphobic movie" I dont hear people talk about it enough!

[@thecatsghost493]

oh my god MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT RED SHOES I LOVE THIS THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[@Annewastaken]

Red shoes is a good watch. The story, the music, the scenery, the character designs, the development, the whole nine yards. For a studio’s first movie this truly is a treasure to be found in the art of fantasy animation.

[@creativehiatuss]

This has always been one of my favorite animated movies and I hope it gets a lot more love thanks to this ❤

[@doodleder9651]

Carful the people that own this film copywrite EVERYTHING

[@evilbluedwarf5351]

Oh my godddd thank you for talking about this movie, I love it so so much, it's kinda my go-to comfort movie, but it got done so dirty by the marketing. Thanks for making it right :D!

[@CarrieTooTired]

it’s super comfy fr 💖 glad to see ppl liking it as much as I did

[@magicvalgirl]

Happy late birthday! Looking forward to more movie reviews in the future!
