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.

Filmation animation is not Disney, so why were they trying to be? Why make a sequel to one of the most beloved stories of all time? If it was to make money, it's pretty obvious this didn't make anything, and if it was to tell a new fantastic story, then this is an even bigger failure. The story is just too out there, and the animation is way too loose to make a good animated feature.We start this story after the end of the first Snow White. Snow White and the Prince are happily married and Queen free. Too bad the Queen's brother Lord Miser (Malcom McDowall) shows up to avenge his sister's death. He steals the Prince, and Snow White goes to the Dwarfs' cottage for refuge, only to find their not there. The dwarfs are busy, but taking their place are the seven dwarf elves, who all have stupid powers given to them by Mother Nature (Phyllis Diller). Snow White and the Dwarf Elves must venture into evil, dark places to find the Prince. Meanwhile, Scowl the Owl (Ed Asner) and his bat buddy, Batso (Frank Welker) try to stop Snow White with silly, unfunny results.Everything about this film is just bad. The animation is ugly, and hurt my eyes. The music and songs sound like they were played on a Cassio and sung by lounge singers. At one point, Scowl the Owl raps about how bad he is, and though I agree about the bad part, this song is torture to listen to. The characters are bad too. Why did they get rid of the Seven Dwarfs and replace them with less interesting characters? What a dumb idea. Why do the trees and flowers talk in the forest in this movie? This isn't Alice in Wonderland, it's Snow White.In the trailer for this movie, the announcer claims this is the biggest, most famous vocal ensemble ever in an animated picture. What a lie! Any famous person here is a washed up actor aged 50 or more, excluding Irene Carro, who isn't known for acting on screen anyways. Nonetheless, the voice work isn't terrible. Irene Cara doesn't sound how you would expect Snow White to sound, but she's okay. Ed Asner, Malcom McDowall and Frank Welker voice the "bad guys", and they all have pleasant voices. Possibly it wasn't the best idea to have Carol Channing and Phyllis Diller doing voices in the same movie. One of them is enough to make your ear drums bleed, both of them is next to intolerable.Overall, this is a sad attempt at an animated movie. It's just bad! My rating: * out of ****. 80 mins. G

I have an Aunt Sharon, and she had this film on VHS, and I would watched it every time I visit her; after that it has become one of my favorite animated films. I had love both Snow White films : Disney's version and this one, and now, I have the film on DVD.Like I said (a million times), I was shocked and surprised by the negative reviews I would see on the web, I thought it's a great sequel to the Snow White story by The Brothers Grimm, only instead of Seven Dwarfs there are Seven Dwarfelles in the film. I love the ending theme performed by Irene Cara, who also played the voice of Snow White in the film.

this movie is classic...my grandmother got this for me at wal-mart when i was little.me and sister use to watch this movie.i still remember every little thing about this movie and i still think that it is great even so many years later.even at the age of eighteen i still enjoy this movie. i will be trying to find this movie on DVD that's how much it means to me. the star cast was great and i feel that the voices where a great contributions to the movie and the songs were great. if people want some good quality videos then this is a great pick for children. this movie is a breath of fresh air from the original classic snow white by Disney.
