Starshine 16,329 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah... It know how terrible it feels when you waited for your prince charming, and no one ever came. And how disappointing it is when you kissed a sleeping woman in the middle of the forest, and turns out she was already dead by food poisoning :/ One does not simply takes real life logic to a child cartoon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfishtrombone 384 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I was always under the impression that Dwarves were four foot bearded steampunk fighting men who lived in tunnels, and the Gnomes were just four foot bearded men with obnoxious personalities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Why would you want war-hungry dwarves in a kid's movie? And also, "Snow White and the Seven Gnomes"? That sounds... Icky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.J.A. 135 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hmmm...maybe gnome is a subset of dwarf..... Or maybe we shouldn't take disney so seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkazoid 3,492 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 It's a movie.....they're not always gonna be 100% honest xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicon 467 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 It's called creative license/ liberty. Who honestly cares how accurate it is? Most Disney stories are alterations of the original fairy tales to make them less gruesome and more friendly and accessible to audiences. Just enjoy the movie and the imagination of the people who created it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickey 383 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) How could they? Even though gnomes does not seem correct title wise, they do look more like them. Edited May 17, 2012 by Shadow Cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover Heart 977 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It's Disney. Semantic accuracy isn't really a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch 20 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 When you get down to it, Disney would never have made one cent if they didn't take some liberties with the stories they used. Heck, most would have even made it past the MPAA. Take The Little Mermaid, for example. The real ending was more like Hamlet than happily-ever-after. Truth is, tons of these stories are so grim, with endings involving the death or painful mutilation of the main characters that no parent would ever consider letting their kids watch it. Well, almost no parent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Disney has done far worse than this, trust me, I know my twisted fairy tales. I could tell you many a tale of the lies disney has spun in the name of changing the story for children's viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
