But when Snow helps a thief with hella-good hair named Jonathan (Andrew Burnap) escape incarceration, perhaps via The Bail Project, the Mirror apparently uses objective scientific criteria to declare Snow the “fairest.” The Evil Queen cannot abide this, so she orders the Huntsman (Ansu Kabia) to take the girl out to the forest and transform her into a corpse. Jonathan mansplains the political situation to Snow via a song that wasn’t in the original 1937 movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, titled “Princess Problems.” It’s a pretty catchy tune, so she’s duly enlightened and worldly now, but still not wise enough to not take a bite of a tainted apple given to her by the Evil Queen disguised as an old crag-nosed crone who looks like the world’s least trustworthy witch. My theory is, there was a point when the studio might’ve considered pulling the plug on the project, but had passed the financial point of no return, so it dutifully slogged through the chaos-swamp of public opinion, threw good money after bad and finally released the damn thing so Mickey Mouse could accept his fate and pray for happier times with the Lilo and Stitch remake.
