Mirror Mirror DVD Review

I checked out Mirror, Mirror before it hit theaters, but seeing it on DVD was just as beautiful. The transition from film to blu-ray is flawless. Unlike that other Snow White movie, there is no huntsman, the poison apple only makes a cameo and don’t expect to hear the Queen ask her mirror who the fairest of them all is, but Mirror Mirror is a great adaptation of Snow White. The cast works in harmony to make the old tale feel fresh and new, each finds moments to shine without casting shadows over the story. The use of CG isn’t overly done. Director Tarsem Singh finds clever ways to use it.

Mirror Mirror isn’t a dark movie, instead it is a light hearted comedy with plenty of laughs. It is a family film enjoyable for children and adults of all ages alike. Mirror Mirror is a very classical telling of Snow White with a new infusion of life. You know the story, lovely family, Queen dies after giving birth to a beautiful baby, leaving the king to raise her alone. The king  remarries, and then he too dies leaving his beloved daughter in the hands of her stepmother. Snow grows into a beautiful young woman, and with the Queen’s vanity she cannot allow anyone to be prettier, and so Snow must fall. There’s dwarves, there’s a handsome prince, but there’s also a few twists.

The Blu-Ray is loaded with special features. Including: Looking Through the Mirror, Prince and Puppies, "I Believe in Love" Dance-along, Mirror Mirror Interactive Storybook, and Deleted Scenes. The extras are pretty fantastic, going behind the scenes. I would have liked to have seen a bloopers reel though. I'm sure those would have been hilarious. The Blu-ray also includes a digital copy of the film, which I adore.

Mirror Mirror comes to Blu-Ray and DVD June 26th, and if you haven't checked it out yet, its worth a look.
