there is something SO funny with like. okay so listen i know a major criticism of the original 1937 snow white is that our titular character is very passive in the film. she just kinda lets things happen to her. which i understand as a criticism despite that kinda being the Basic Fairytale Structure. i get it. i do. esp since her main thing is wishing for someone else to come get her. which i've defended in the past as not explicitly anti-feminist since she's literally an abuse victim child who has been made to take care of an entire castle solely by herself and blah blah you've all heard me fistfight for this movie before
all that to say. it's really funny to me that the snow white reboot that nobody cares about has given her a new #feminist anthem but called it "waiting on a wish." in contrast to "i'm wishing." they changed it from the active tense to the passive. they made it more passive than it was initially. and again i know it's just a Title thing, that the og "i'm wishing" is also her being passive. but it's so funny. and so lowkey symbolic of the disney reboots' failed Updating™ of the source material. that they changed the active tense to passive. in trying to make her more #girlboss. am i making sense
Little dump of unspecific gothic literature headcanons, feel free to add your own:
- Adam's favourite animals are birds, especially sparrows and robins
- Victor has had asthma since childhood and has conducted multiple attempts for a more effective homemade treatment
- Jekyll and Hyde both like classical music. Former is a big fan of Mendelssohn and Bach whereas the latter prefers Liszt and Paganini
- Holmes' comfort piece on the violin is Caprice No. 24
- Jekyll is NOT a morning person. But his profession and status requires him to be one
- Sharikov has the flirting skills of a wet sock
- Also the fancy taxidiermied owl doorbell in Preobrazhensky's hall? He promptly destroyed it a second time once he was already human
If Grumpy hadn't been dropped into the tub, he would have looked like this during dinner.
I seem to have completely and irrevocably fallen in love with the Wolf from "Nu, pogodi!"
Just look at these concept art!
I want him so badly.
I'm gonna pretend this is from a master and margarita animated movie
+ Bonus photos from the movie shoot
Still, how good is the image of Sharikov in this film. Keep screenshots.
He always has such a heavy look...

Yes, there was another film adaptation of this Bulgakov novella. In the German box office, the film is called "Why is Mr. Bobikov barking?" ("Warum bellt Herr Bobikow?")
Got a favorite dwarf? Adriana Caselotti replies: "Grumpy. See he really wouldn't let anybody know, but he really loved Snow White but he was the one that was going to show that he hated the whole world...but he always had a wink in his one eye, and I knew that wink was there."
