The Seventh Dwarf (German: ''Der 7bte Zwerg''), is a German 3D computer-animated film, created in 2014. The movie is based upon the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty and characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It is a sequel to the films 7 Dwarves – Men Alone in the Wood (2004) and 7 Dwarves: The Forest Is Not Enough (2006). The film was released in cinemas on the 25th of September 2014 in Germany and on 31 July 2015 in the United States.
In the castle Fantabularasa there is a big celebration because of the 18th birthday of Princess Rose, who has been cursed by the evil ice fairy, Dellamorta. If she gets pricked with a sharp object before midnight, the whole kingdom will sleep for one hundred years. Thus, the princess is required to wear armor. Everything goes according to plan until clumsy Bobo, the seventh dwarf, makes a big mistake and Dellamorta's curse is fulfilled. Only with a kiss of true love the curse can be stopped, but Dellamorta captures the Kitchen Boy, Jack, who loves Rose. With the help of a dragon named Burner, the dwarves search for the “Prince Charming".
Deutsche Zwerge-Fans dürften nach sieben Jahren Wartezeit enttäuscht sein, denn der animierte Film ist zwar kindgerechter als die ersten beiden Filme, bietet dabei allerdings (noch) weniger witzige Momente.
German ‘Dwarves fans’ are likely to be disappointed after seven years of waiting, because although the animated film is more aimed at children than the first two films, it has (even) less funny moments.
Die Fans der Realfilme sollten sich klar sein, dass Der 7bte Zwerg in seinem Humor gemäßigter ist. Nina Hagen spielt die Hexe mit herrlicher Bösartigkeit. Unterm Strich gilt: Flotte Unterhaltung für Kids.
The fans of Real Movies should be conscient that the ‘The 7th Dwarf’ is more moderate in its humor. Nina Hagen plays the witch with great viciousness. The bottom line is: Fast entertainment for kids.
