Willa: An American Snow White
Loading...
Uploaded by FromtheBrothersGrimm on May 5, 2010
"Does it really work?" says Willa (Snow-white) as she watches Chief Tonka, the red-headed "Chief of the Pootiepows" mix his magic formula for the "elixir of life." "It can do lots of things," says the evasive Tonka, "If you believe it can." And so it does. Traveling with Tonka, and Billy, last of the dancing Buggs, and the mysterious Alfonzo, Willa learns to sell illusions too. But even as she learns to love her motley companions, she is moving toward the inevitable confrontation with her evil stepmother. Will her new-found friends be able to protect her? Certainly, in this Shakespeare-haunted fable, "things are not what they seem".
Review: "Davenport Films calls this production an American version of "Snow White," but that description undervalues this exceptional work. "Willa" artfully interweaves the classic tales of "Snow White" and "Romeo and Juliet," and throws in hints of the Wizard of Oz to boot. This iconoclastic combination works remarkably well. The result is charming, funny, unpredictable, and deeply touching."
Winner of the ALA Carnegie Medal for Best Children's Film.
