For this being a Korean movie, it's absolutely beautiful. It's cause Korean standards are very high, they fat shame like hell has no tomorrow, so to see them embracing and doing this sort of self-love appreciation, and acceptance is very beautiful to me. I am slightly overweight and I might not do things that other people enjoy, I know how people feel about me but I'm completely comfortable with who I am. I'm learning how to accept myself and better myself and loving yourself is one of the hardest things to do sometimes. This is an amazing movie because of its story, animation, and message. The promotions did this movie a great injustice. Edit: I hope whoever sees this is having a great day and if not, don't worry, It'll get better. Oh yeah I also fixed spelling

[@FerreTrip]

Yeah. Over the years, I've honestly become more jaded about Asian countries' cultures, namely how they seem to discourage individuality. This message of accepting yourself is very healthy, and I hope it helps some of the younger generations come to realize they can't keep living like everyone else because it's unhealthy. Also, rock on for being okay with how you are ^_^ (Not saying Western culture is better, of course. We could do with a tiny bit less individuality, at least to the point where we aren't encouraging selfishness and pointless competition.)

I like that she likes her normal body, and that hiding it comes not from self-hatred, but from self-preservation. She uses the traditional beauty to her advantage, but it's not like that's actually who she cares to be. That seems to be what makes this film different from others with similar "inner beauty" messages. Instead of the whole "you're beautiful because you're insecure" idea that a lot of media tends to have, she's beautiful, and she knows she's beautiful. That difference also then highlights the attitudes others have about traditional beauty as the problem more than just her own sense of self worth.

For the record, it was “dwarfs” until Tolkien (a linguist) decided he preferred “dwarves.” Most later fantasy authors followed suit, but by that time, Disney had already called its movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Now both are acceptable, although “dwarfs” has more of a fairy tale feel while “dwarves” has more of a fantasy feel, IMO.

Especially since yes there are still people that need to learn to love their thicker bodies since skinny isn't achievable for everyone (genetics play a huge role in your body type), but I also have met some people that are so obsessed with being skinny and traditionally "beautiful" that they are some of the ugliest people I have ever met. Playboys (or playgirls) are a great example of this where they hop from person to person not knowing the personality of who they are with but only going for those that can offer them something.

As a Korean preparing to be an animator, this movie was one I never believed would've been made in Korea. While it is a kid's movie, it never went to the boss baby type 'we only want toddlers to see' movie most animations in our country have. I stopped watching Korean animations because I don't wanna see another kid's transformer type show or the same Kirby(without any sense of lore or cinematic adventure) type all defeating superhero show. It was boring. Then this came out, I had small hopes and my standards were low. I was aware of our country's beauty standards so like any other person, I watched it thinking it would be a princess diary type. I left with my cousin screaming over how the dwarves were super hot. Also about how Snow white is like really pretty in both forms, I would love to have her as an older sister friend Edit) some people seem to think I hate Kirby and I don't. What I meant by Kirby(but without any lore or sense of cinematic adventure), I meant Kirby has lore and amazing cinematic adventure. It was to describe how alot of Korean animations directed towards children often have these 'Kirby' type protagonists, chatacters that are so overpowered compared to the challenges they face. But unlike Kirby, these animations tend to lose any sense of interesting lore or adventure that pleases the eye.

She doesn’t condemn being skinny OR fat and thats something we’ve waited so long for. All bodies are beautiful, but all bodies come with different benefits and hardships.

[@sethtfp2373]

damn, she really swapped up a completely healthy body in which she could eat anything she wants without health risks and could never become decrepit and old, for an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Thinking about it now, it kinda relays a weird sense of entitlement for *some reason* Then again, I guess this is assuming that she doesn't have an increased weight naturally, not as in "she's fat because she ate a lot because of her dad ate a lot and therefore genetics", more like people who are that size and actually can't help it, that appearance being just how they look even when they are in good health. In which case my sarcastic paragraph from earlier is irrelevant

[@decentgrocerybag4003]

@@sethtfp2373 I understand your point and it’s a totally valid theory. However, I think the likeliness of being unhealthy and fat is the same as being unhealthy and skinny. The shoes were only supposed to give her beauty, not necessarily health or strength, and her previous eating habits probably remained to some extent. I have a similar body to hers but I’ve been underweight my entire life. Diabetes and heart disease may not seem worth it, but neither does lacking the energy and muscles needed just to stand up. It’s very important to have a perfectly healthy body, but it’s harder to reach than one might think. As for entitlement, I assume you mean that it kind of praises fat and ignores skinny? That happens a lot when people discuss body positivity. I cannot speak for everyone, but as a skinny person who has been met with such comments of prejudice, this is an incredibly big step for the better than most other art and media that bring up body positivity. Like I said at the start of my post, she doesn’t really condemn being skinny. She makes it really clear that fat and skinny both have advantages and disadvantages and picks a side based on her OWN preference and familiarity. It’s not perfect and we do need to be more inclusive in the fight for body positivity, but comparing this to something like Meghan Trainers “All about that base” it’s enough for now.

[@sethtfp2373]

@@decentgrocerybag4003 I completely agree with your point, and I hope I didn't come off as though I was saying that "largeness" is necessarily negative. what I was more trying to point to was how easily this message can be misinterpreted. I agree that the end goal of the movie is to support inclusivity and acceptance and that we could all do with a little more. However, I worry about Red Shoes reassuring people at unhealthy weights that it's ok to remain in that state when in reality it very much isn't.

This movie is actually a wonderful message to girls and boys in Korea. In South Korea, due to the high beauty standard, women and men alike will undergo plastic surgery to beautify their face, and for women who can't do that, they hide their true "ugly" face with makeup and tools like double-eyelid tape/glue; it's like theatre makeup! Those women/girls often can't bring themselves to show their real face outside, even in front of friends and loved ones, leading a negative stigma and a double standard to grow around those who do so. For example, if you hide your face with makeup, you're shallow and a deceiver, but if you don't care and go about with your normal face, no one will bother to be friends with you, date you, or even give you a promotion because you're "ugly". Younger generations need movies like this (because it's not just South Korea) to show both genders that your appearance isn't important as long as you love yourself and that you should never judge someone for their outer appearance because that doesn't dictate their personality or potential.

Yeah, it’s interesting how stories will usually have Conventionally hot girl but with a quirky personality. She learns to love herself and ends up with the guy or whatever, but she is hot so it kind of lessens the impact. Bottom line, she’s hot. Conventionally hot girl who teaches the not hot guy that inner beauty is what matters. Again, it’s ironic because she has outer beauty. Kills the purpose. Conventionally hot girl who wants to be loved and respected for who she is. An important lesson, but she’s hot. These are all good things to learn, and conventionally attractive women DO need to be respected for who they are and deserve true love and not just superficial attraction. HOWEVER, the bottom line is that the woman is always physically attractive. It’s like people are afraid to empower women who don’t fit those beauty standards. It’s refreshing to see a female character who already loves herself and teaches the male character to love himself too.

It doesn't hurt to make more chubby characters that love their body esp nowadays.

Omg Yessss I always love that. I'm not the hugest fan of romance so everytime that there's a super "romantic" moment and that they randomly blast pop music at full volume I'm very thankful for the distraction. It's so funny.

[@adqueen2548]

I saw it once without knowing it is from South Korea and found it a bit off. But then I watched it with my friend who is a huge kpop and korea drama fan and she pointed some of the thigs out, I googled it and realised that when put in that context some things fit even better.

Schotter I believe there is a record where one of the guys who worked on shrek did want it to come across as fuckwad. Reason is that the character was designed after someone who worked at disney who was a real farquad.

Farquad is now an insult

[@JinlongTheGoldenDragon]

It's interesting how if you look closer, the characters, especially the dwarves have vaguely asian looking design. It's awesome seeing south korea, who is very homogenous in population, do a spin on a western story

[@JohnDoe-kv3kd]

The two main characters especially Merlin have a very K-pop idol look to them. It's unmistakable.

[@hellodolly7301]

They all have traits of Neotny (?), which are all very common in Disney 3D films because it makes characters look cuter. But, I do agree, they look particularly Asian. If you're a fan of K-drama as well, it's easy to pick out the expressions of the characters. Compared to more Western animated films (who am I kidding, I'm talking about Disney), their expressions are a little more muted as opposed to how they are expressed in Korean media (I don't watch any other media, so I can't genuinely say if it's like that for other Asian countries).

I watched this without knowing much about it at all, and I had never heard of it. I watched it two more times since, it's a great movie! And as someone who spent much of my life being quite overweight, I really appreciate the real message in the movie. My (real) friends have said I'm beautiful now, and was beautiful then. Plus, a side message (separate from appearances) that I saw in it, having worked hard to lose over 200 pounds, is that magic won't fix your problems or change who you are inside.

I genuinely feel bad that this movie didn’t do so well, and the news talking about the poster definitely didn’t help it and made it worst. I definitely hope it gets more views because the animation looks fantastic.

[@bolbyballinger]

With the budget being just 12 million dollars it could have very easily made a huge profit had it gotten an American release. Initially it would be low because small studios can't market like Disney, but word of mouth/twitter could have given it a big boost afterward.

[@aidenflame1576]

I mever actually thoufht of it as body shaming and im technically slender but i feel fat constantly and sad abt it cuz of how i grew up. But when i watch movies especially kids ones or animated ones. Unless told otherwise i tend to just think of the movie and the good in it *blush* it makes it easy to love all kinds of movies no matter the genre. So when i saw this one i was like OOOOO THE SHOES ARE MAGIC?? I never saw any other trailers or what if smow white wasnt beautiful part tho. Just the one where one legs skinny amd the other is chubbier. But even then id still been like i mean.. i think shes pretty either way! And i couldnt put my finger on it but yea it reminds me of shrek! The princess is pretty in either form but chose the ogre one to be with shrek lol. Or strange magic WHICH IS ALSO SUCH A GOOD MOVIE OMG MARIANNE AND BOG MAKE THE CUTEST FUCKIN COUPLE But yea id just figured it would go for tht weird subversive trope thing. Or at least wait till i see the movie to go "omfg its horrible lets find ppl who also think its horrible" Lol. Also even tho it suuucks im use to movies. Anime. Cartoons etc pushin the whole skinnier look is more beautiful so im also use to ignoring it to see the rest of the good msgs in the movie. (Tho again subversivion tropes are my FAVORITE cuz i LOVE someone goin against the grain lmao) Okat im done im just rambling here i will be shocked if u read this all say booyakasha if u did.

The fact that it’s a South Korean movie makes me understand how that poster was approved. South Korea is known for being extremely fat-phobic and heavily emphasizes being skinny as being beautiful.

[@perlowkey]

There is a majjooorrrr thing against being even slightly a tiny bit chubby, let alone "fat" so it isnt shocking knowing its from south korea. Over there its shameful to even be americas version of skinny, its all about being petite

[@Soupsoupsoup04]

@Sierra Lorraine Barrett body type does NOT always reflect your health. Many people have perfect diets, exercise, etc and are considered fat by at least American beauty standards. Then there's people who eat junk food all day and lay around, but they're skinny. (By American beauty standards) So don't assume that someone is healthy because they're skinny and vice versa❤️

[@aveei]

@Sierra Lorraine Barrett sometimes its just your body type. i've been overweight my whole life but im in great health but i dont lose much weight when i work out and go on diets. my cousin have been almost underweight his whole life, no matter how much he eats. he's in great health as well. body types do not reflect your health. when we say "being overweight/fat is okay", we dont mean "being unhealthy is okay", we just want you to love your body and yourself because mental health is just as important as physical health :)
