Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Darin
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

When I first saw this film, I thought it was okay. After a couple of of more watches, my mind is still the same. Could it be better? Yes. Is it that bad as most say? No, I don't think so. In fact, half of me felt attach to this film more than Disney. Yeah, some of the animation is cheesy, only 2 out of the 4 songs on here are memorable, but it is good. I like the somewhat "dark" atmosphere that was put up near the end, brings such suspense. I also did like how this Snow White, in terms of appearance and character. She is both an action girl while having a soft quality to her still. At most, this is a film that is a family movie, not meant to be taken too seriously, but very enjoyable for kids and adults. Give it a try.

Warning spoilers, and swears. And word of advice, if you didn't see this as a child when it came out, don't watch it, or if you do watch it don't judge it so harshly. Personally, this is a childhood gem I will never forget. I was born in 1989, and I Played the living expletive deleted out of this VHS until I was at least 6. Watched again two nights ago for the first time in 15 years, and I remembered everything so vividly. I'll say this films only flaw, is it's animation, but as a kid it worked. I'm not saying the animation is horrendous but compared to a movie like secret of nihm which actually came out years prior the animation isn't "top quality" But it's a kids movie who fooking cares, I didn't as kid think "well the quality of the animation was subpar at best" To quote the reviewer Wizard-8 from Victoria, BC "This movie is certainly not for adults, but what about kids? Well, (really) young kids may be entertained, but if they have seen Disney's SNOW WHITE before seeing this sequel, I think even they would admit that this sequel is really lacking in comparison." Well I hate to break it to you, but as a kid, who watched Disney's snow white, and then my parents bought this VHS, I knew as a kid that it wasn't the Disney version, which confused child-me for the first five minutes, and then I just enjoyed the movie. Did you forget when you were a kid how little you cared about the flaws of a movie. I personally even as an adult love the character scowl the cigar puffing owl, and batso. This movie was incredibly dark from the very beginning, you think the prince could be dead or at the very least injured, there's dragons, capes that turn people into stone, a villain more evil, and terrifying than that old hag in the original Disney movie. I like the dwarfelles, their bickering amused me as a kid, and even as an adult I got a chuckle out of it. My favorites or Sunburn, the one that plays in the mud, thunderella, and the one that's asleep 98% of the movie....Fook it I love all the dwarfelles except zsa zsa. And for a low budget, none official sequel, it has some pretty catchy tunes for children, as an adult I still found thunderellas intro song to be quite enjoyable. For kids under the age of 6 this is a scary, funny, roller-coaster of a ride that might even make your child cry at the end. I know not the actual end but when you think yadda yadda yadda happens at the end, it's scary. I remember the first time watching it being pretty scared as a young one specifically when the cape is used, and lord maliss' red eyes.TL;Dr: This is a 90's VHS children's classic. Every kid I ever watched this with enjoyed this movie, From a kid-me review 10/10. But as an adult you catch flaws in the quality of animation or goofs that's why it gets a 7. Enjoyable story filled with a few twists, that will hold any child's interest from open credits to the end credits. If you are a miserable adult please don't watch this movie if you never saw it when you were a kid.

I can still remember the day I got this movie. I was five years old and at my grandmother's house when my mom and my older cousin, Shane, came to pick me up. My favorite cousin had a present for me, Happily Ever After. He knew I loved fairy tales && that I was a Princess. The movie instantly became a favorite of mine. I admit, I watched it way more that the original Snow White. True, its not Disney in any way, but it still is magical. So what if the animation isn't top-notch? When you're a child, none of that matters. The songs are amazing. I still remember the lyrics to the song that plays as the credits start: ""You can do magic with your own two hands You can touch the clouds right where you stand You can see a rainbow every place you turn Deep in the night a flame still burns Total original You're one of a kind You got the heart and you got the mind No, it wont be easy But u give it a try Reach for the power way deep inside Love is the reason and love is the light So keep on believing all through the night The suns always shining bright just above the rain Your dreams will have wings and they'll fly And love is the reason Love is the reason Love is the reason why"Most movies of fairy tales show you the struggles to reach the happy ending, but always leave you wondering about what happens during the happily ever after. The same-named movie, shows you what happens. Once you find the prince, its not always easy, you still have to fight for love sometimes. I really enjoyed the characters. Thunderella && Scowl were my favorite. And I really love that Snow White had longer hair. =]I'm 19 years old now, almost 20; to this day I still own and love Happily Ever After.

I can clearly remember those days when I was about 7 years old. That's when I used to watch this movie over and over. I enjoyed every minute of it not only because it was interesting to watch but it also was colorful and nice. Even though this movie does not have the original Snow White's (Disney's) spirit and atmosphere ( I guess that's because of decade difference) but it still manages to interest young viewers by it's magical world and funny characters. It's been ages since I last saw it but I still remember it very well and wouldn't mind watching it again. It reminds me of home, the smell of hot cocoa and childhood. I recommend to watch it for everyone who likes Snow White, a nice evening with family and pleasant memories. 9 out of 10
