Interesting about the cartoon
Almost all children grew up in amazing fairy tales, where the priority is love for loved ones, responsibility and, of course, kindness. Everyone knows such cartoon characters as Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Humpty Dumpty, Goldilocks, Evil Stepmother, Seven Dwarfs.
Each of these characters has its own exciting story. But there is something that unites them. In any of the stories, there are both positive characters and negative ones. The good ones always fight for the truth, freedom, kindness, beauty, and the evil ones are plotting, trying to harm both good heroes and the whole world. Therefore, the struggle between the forces of good and evil is an eternal and always interesting question.
Even more interesting is the fact that in the cartoon "Snow White, a new story" all the characters were brought together, but changed a little. They will not appear before the audience as they are used to seeing. But, despite the external and internal metamorphoses that occurred with the images, the new interpretation of the film still appears as a kind and instructive tale for children and adolescents.
The plot of the cartoon "Snow White, a new story"
King Kohl and Queen Grace lived in one beautiful kingdom; they had a wonderful lovely daughter Snow White. The queen was considered very beautiful, wise and judicious, she tried to instill in her daughter only good manners. But, unfortunately, one day she fell ill and died. Snow White, who grew up without a mother, was not at all the one the queen dreamed of. Now the girl was only interested in entertainment, talking about fashion and gatherings with friends - Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and Shepherdess.
It is not known how the fairy tale “Snow White, a new story” would end if once in the tournament the main character did not fall in love with a simple guy Peter. But, seeing the girl’s attitude to commoners, the young man categorically rejected her signs of attention.
At this time, the king decided that it was time for him to marry again. He was sure that marriage would benefit both him and his wayward daughter. Lady Vane decided to take this chance, always looking with envy at the queen. Having resorted to the help of the goblin Rumpelstiltskin and the magic mirror, she cast a spell on herself that turned her into Queen Grace. Unable to resist the spell, the king decided to marry her. But this is not all that the insidious lady Wayne sought, her plans also included getting rid of her stepdaughter. By using a mirror to create an enchanted apple of discord, he was able to ensure that Snow White ate it. As a result, the girl quarreled with absolutely everyone in the kingdom.
Having done so many things, the main character had to leave the house and run into the forest. There she met seven dwarfs who sheltered her and decided at all costs to help her become good. She realized a lot, helping to build a house for piglets, shortening Pinocchio’s grown nose, collecting the crashed Humpty Dumpty.
In the meantime, Snow White was re-educated, in the castle Peter found out about the cunning plans of Lady Wayne. He rushed in search of Snow White. Together, young people managed to break the spell and free the king and the kingdom from the evil witch.
