You may think you know the story of Snow White, but this classic fairy tale is about to get a modern twist in the action-packed animated adventure Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs! This time, it’s the princess who will save the prince(s) — all seven of them… you see, the dwarfs aren’t exactly who you thought they were.

This family film from Lionsgate premieres on Digital and On Demand on September 18 and will be available to own on Blu-ray™ and DVD on September 22 — and I’ve got the perfect treat for your movie night!

About Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs

This outrageous fairy tale spoof starts as Snow White steals a pair of red shoes that transform her into a princess. Meanwhile, a witch’s curse turns seven brave princes into dwarfs, forcing them to seek out the princess, hoping for a kiss to break their spell. Together, they must face Snow White’s wicked stepmother – who will stop at nothing to get her precious shoes back – and, along the way, learn that true beauty lies within!

Chloë Grace Moretz (Bolt, Inside Out), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games series), Gina Gershon (TV’s “Riverdale”), Patrick Warburton (TV’s “Family Guy,” The Emperor’s New Groove), and Jim Rash (TV’s “Community”) lend their vocal talents to this humorous and heartwarming retelling of the Snow White fable. This family-friendly film has “a strong body-positive theme that emphasizes the beauty of characters of all shapes and sizes” (Common Sense Media), and received the Dove Seal of Approval for All Ages.

Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs was directed by Sung-ho Hong, and features character design and animation direction from Jin Kim, who worked on Disney’s animated classics Fantasia 2000, Frozen II, and Tangled. Music is by Primetime Emmy^® award-winning composer Geoff Zanelli (2006, Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries, “Into the West”; Emmy^® nomination: 2010, Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries, “The Pacific”), whose theatrical work includes Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Voice direction is from Tony Bancroft, the director of Disney’s Mulan. It was produced by Locus Animation Studio.

Ingredients and Supplies:

Mini pastry maker kit
2 rolls of pre-made pie crust
2-3 lg. apples, peeled and thinly sliced
¼ c. sugar
1 tsp. flour
½ tsp. cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Pinch of nutmeg
1 egg white, beaten
Parchment paper
Pastry brush
Baking sheet

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl and mix well.
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and use the outer side of the pastry maker to cut out pieces from the dough.
Select a lattice pattern plate and use it to cut out the pattern on half of the dough pieces. This half will be used for the top of the pies.
Open the pastry maker and place a bottom dough piece without lattice markings on the side of the maker with the deeper bowl.
Fill the pie with a few spoonfuls of the apple filling.
Brush the edge of the bottom pie crust with beaten egg white, then place a piece of pie dough with the lattice markings on top so that the edges of both pieces line up.
Fold the maker in half and press both sides into each other to seal the pieces of the pie together.
Place the prepared pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with beaten egg white.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
