When I first saw this movie in theaters I really loved it, but when I rented it years later for old times' sake I found it to be too silly for me, but after seeing it again recently I found out I actually like it a lot more than Disney's Snow White. Admittedly, it does have its flaws in the animation and it could use some more character development, particularly on Marina, Critterina and Moonbeam's parts (Marina is my most favorite Dwarfelle). But the songs are enjoyable, the storyline is great, the romance isn't over the top or too sappy, and Snow White here is, in my opinion, not only prettier than the Disney version but also shows some spunk. Overall, I would highly recommend Happily Ever After to kids, the young at heart, and those who want to see this for old times' sake.

When I was a kid, I got this movie for Christmas. It was one of those videos I really loved. At that time, there was a magical quality it had that most children experience in animation/fantasy films. It made me smile.I went down memory lane and watched it again. I enjoyed it, but in a different sort of way. I caught all Lord Malice's gay innuendos, and laughed my butt off, because I never saw it that way before.Unlike what some people may say, I think this is a fun movie, and the music isn't really that bad considering the expenses that went into the feature. Disney always has a grand orchestra, while Filmation, if you listen closely during Thunderella's song, had only a couple keyboards. The strange part is that the lady who played snow white actually has singing talent, but she didn't get a big song like most main characters do in animated films. She sings the song in the credits. I think they should have done more with her vocal talent. Other than that, it's a fun film.

Overview: Plot: Great Characters: Great Music: Good Animation: Fair Overview: The Film "Happily Ever After," to me, is, indeed, cheaply animated with some annoying voices, but I think the plot is enticing and the characters are very interesting, especially the Seven "Dwarfelles," the Cousins to the Seven Dwarfs. Also, there is a very interesting variation of "Mother Nature," voiced by the one and only Phyllis Diller. The song she sings is a the most enjoyable song in the movie, same with the catchy, poppy tune"Thunderella's Song," sung by Thunderella, the youngest dwarfelle, voiced by Tracey Ullman.Basic Plot: In this Sequel to the original film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," Snow White (Voiced by Irene Cara of "Fame") is to be married to the Prince, but Lord Mallis (Voiced by Malcom McDowell of "Caligula"), the Evil Queen's brother, in revenge of his beloved sister's death, kidnaps the prince, but Snow White flees to the Dwarfs' Cottage only to find that the Seven Dwarfelles, their cousins, live there. When they are about to have their natural powers stripped away by Mother Nature, Lord Mallis attacks them and They are on a quest to save the prince...but will that creature lurking in the shadows be able to help them? It's not a very long film, but it's very engaging.Benifits: Irene Cara sings the end theme, "Love is the Reason." It's a great song.Flaws: A bit on the annoying side.I give it an 8/10. 2 stars for the animation and the other 6 for the plot, therefore is 8 stars.
