About Mirror Mirror
After squandering her fortune, a vain and cunning queen sets her sights on marrying into wealth. Her plan hinges on a prosperous prince, but his heart already belongs to Snow White, a princess whose charm and courage spark a clash with the queen's greed. In a world lush with myth and whimsy, Snow White refuses to bow to the throne and bands together with seven rebellious dwarves. The resulting conflict pits enchantment against innocence, as the rival forces collide in a color saturated kingdom where magic flips expectations and courage becomes a weapon. The queen answers with schemes and glamour while Snow White relies on quick thinking, loyalty, and the dwarves' stubborn courage to stand firm. Its humor pleases kids and adults alike, and critics too.
Directed by Tarsem Singh, Mirror Mirror reimagines the Snow White story for a modern audience. The film channels classic fairy tale charm with lavish costumes and a saturated world that nods to the Grimm roots and features fairy tale tone.
The fantasy adventure earned about 183,018,522 dollars worldwide against an 85 million dollar budget, signaling solid performance among family audiences and international markets with Julia Roberts and Lily Collins drawing attention across regions and helping sustain international box office performance.
The film is remembered for its opulent production design and Julia Roberts as the flamboyant Evil Queen, a performance that lingered in popular culture. Lily Collins and Armie Hammer inject energy into a brightly colored fairy world, with Hammer's Prince Andrew Alcott and Nathan Lane's Brighton offering humor.
Critics noted Tarsem Singh delivers a striking visual experience while the narrative sometimes stumbles under its own whimsy. The film explores themes of greed, authority, and friendship as Snow White bands with unlikely allies to resist tyranny, leaving families with a memorable fairy tale for viewers.
