El Séptimo Enanito

Agreeable if rather cheap looking animated fair of the more familiar kind.

About 20 years behind the times with its unironic fairytale narrative, it still has a cute sincerity that we don't see much of these days. I think that when continental movies try to make animated movies in the American style we get something more imitative than original but this can still be refreshing.

Not one of the more dignified examples of an animated movie marketed toward families, it's inoffensive fun whose story doesn't sag anywhere. The dwarfs (traditionally that is the correct plural) themselves are a pleasant mix of cartoonish characters that would be more at home in a TV show but aren't annoying here.

That Princess is more memorable than most of them. I think she's kind of punk rock but that might be because she so rocked that eye-brow look.

This review is about the English version.

It all started so-so, but 20 minutes later I realised I was hooked by its charm. I watched the rest in a better spirit and in a forgiving mood. There is just enough in The 7th Dwarf to soften up an old fart like me. The animation is not the best out there, but the graphic design is very cute. The songs have rather poor lyrics, but they've got enough heart and soul to make up for it. The humour, very gentle, did make me laugh at times. The pace is perfect, not rushing into the common frenzy plaguing the genre.

The high points for me are Burny the dragon, and Nina Hagen voicing the villainess. The ice monster also looks pretty cool; I wonder if it would successfully scare a child. Ah, and in the end credits, there is a section for the "Children born during this Production." I told you this film was cute.

Only if you don't give yourself any chance, you have no chance. An evil witch imposes on the princess a spell that will cause her to have kids problems. She is searching for the seven dwarves to help her find the witch and turn the curse around. How can the dwarves persuade the witch of her way's oppression and get her to turn the curse back? "A little bad luck is all you need occasionally." Boris Aljinovic and Harald Siepermann partner in the production of The Seventh Dwarf for both of their first ever major movie pictures. For this picture, the plot is quite boring, repetitive, and includes only average characters. The style of animation was all right and the voices matched well with the characters."It's time to turn his story into my story." I noticed this on Netflix recently and added it to my list to watch with my friend. Overall, we loved the film and watched it from start to finish. This isn't a classic or worth buying addition to the genre, but it's worth watching with your kids once. "Grant me a standing position and I'm going to change the world.

The 7th Dwarf is a Rip-Off of Shrek

I Mean This Movie Makes Quest for Camelot, Hoodwinked, Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, Mulan 2&Shrek the Third look like Masterpieces

The Characters Are Annoying, the Animation is Horrible, the Songs are Painfull to Listen and the Villainess of this Movie is so Boring and she looks like a Mix Between Poison Ivy&Elsa from Frozen

Don't See this Movie Because it's a Disgrace to all Animated Movies Right Next to The Wild Go Watch Shrek or Something

No relation to Seventh Son obviously, even though the dwarf probably is someones son too. But apart from that unnecessary comparison what do we have here? It's a sort of sequel to a German series about the seven dwarfs and Snow White and other fairy tale characters. The other two movies that were made were shot with real actors, this one is animated (not very well done by the way).

If you have a child that is under 5, the movie might work on that kid. Do not try to show it to anyone older. Unless they are much older and like the actors who speak the roles. Some known German actors behind the dwarfs here. Maybe it's fun to know the voice to the dwarf you see on screen. Other than that there is too much of the "Don't do this because something bad will happen", just for people to do "it" and something "bad" to happen. It's primitive on a level that should not be able to entertain you ...
