OUAT – A look back at Snow White

By Barbara Vancheri and Sharon Eberson / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Snow White has been mesmerizing moviegoers and TV watchers with a smile and a song — and, now, a sword — since 1937 when Disney released its first full-length animated feature.

Television has gotten into the act and two months ago, “Mirror Mirror” arrived in theaters. Today, “Snow White and the Huntsman” breathes new life into the fairy tale that dates to 1812.

A look at the raven-haired beauty, a woman who gave stepmothers everywhere an undeserved black eye, and a story that has endured in various formats, including as a silent film, a Three Stooges comedy, a 1987-88 sitcom, “The Charmings,” and Showtime’s 1997 “Snow White: A Tale of Terror” featuring Sigourney Weaver.

Summary: (1937) — Gorgeously, painstakingly created over three years, the first full-length, cel-animated feature film elevated Disney to a major player on movie screens and introduced such song standards as “Whistle While You Work” and “Some Day My Prince Will Come.”

Snow White — Adriana Caselotti (the then 18-year-old from an operatic family had uncredited vocal roles in “The Wizard of Oz” and “It’s a Wonderful Life”).

Evil Queen — Lucille La Verne (the final movie role for the longtime stage and screen actress, who died in 1945 at age 72).

Prince — Harry Stockwell (father of actors Dean Stockwell and Guy Stockwell).

OUAT – So, they changed the color of the ending smoke. Hmmm

It appears the Once Upon a Time producers changed the color of the ending smoke from green to purple.

Very interesting. I wonder what that change means for the story.

And fans of the ABC freshman were not the only ones caught off guard by the game-changing twist.

“There was some talk about the curse being broken, but I didn’t believe it until I read it [in the script], because [series creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis] are tricky that way,” Lana Parrilla recently shared with TVLine. “They don’t really tell you much, but I like that about them!”

Upon seeing the final edit of the finale — with CGI’d smoke flowing out of the well and across the land — Parrilla remarked, “It was awesome…. Unreal.” And almost green à la the ominous cloud that crept across fairytale land when the dark curse was first uncorked. “But at the last minute they changed it to purple, which is more symbolic… a better link to something ‘magical.’”

Disney – Lost, Disney and Once Upon a Time article

A Fairy Tale Partnership

Who mystified you with “Lost”? Who put you on the Grid with “Tron: Legacy”? And who is going to take you to the fairy-tale world and back again this fall? In all three cases, the answer is the writing team of Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis. In the years since their first meeting as film students, the duo has contributed to some of the most imaginative blockbusters to entertain audiences on screens big and small.

Now they are about to premiere their most enchanting project yet – “Once Upon a Time,” debuting October 23 on ABC. Imagine a fairy-tale world, the Enchanted Forest … and then imagine that its inhabitants get kicked out of it by the nefarious Evil Queen and get sent to the one place where there are no happy endings: our world. Now the denizens of the small town of Storybrooke, Maine, have no idea who they really are and the Evil Queen is triumphant, unless the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming accepts her destiny and unravels the curse.

Besides the new entry gate and Cars Land, other new items have magically appeared in Disney’s California Adventure.

If you make your way over to the Off the Page store (in the windows along the sidewalk) located in the Hollywood Pictures backlot section, you will see some very cool “Once Upon a Time” costumes, and a very important book.
