In the 2014 animated film, The Seventh Dwarf, audiences are taken on a magical adventure that features beloved fairy tale characters, like Snow White, and an unlikely protagonist, a clumsy dwarf named Bobo. Directed by Boris Aljinovic and Harald Siepermann, the film is a German production that was later dubbed in English for wider release.
The story begins on Princess Rose's seventeenth birthday, which is celebrated with a grand party. However, a wicked fairy named Dellamorta crashes the festivities and curses the princess, putting everyone in the kingdom into a deep sleep. The only way to break the spell is to find a blue rose and have someone who has never been kissed by a princess, Princess Rose specifically, kiss her. Bobo is tasked with finding the blue rose and enlists the help of his six dwarf friends, who themselves struggle with various insecurities.
Though the film is predominantly aimed at children, it is sure to entertain viewers of all ages. The animation style is reminiscent of classic Disney films, with bright colors, exaggerated expressions, and whimsical character design. The film also features an all-star voice cast, with popular German comedians Otto Waalkes and Mirco Nontschew voicing Bobo and Cook, respectively.
As Bobo and his friends journey through the dangerous forest in search of the blue rose, they encounter a multitude of obstacles and quirky characters. There are giant spiders, talking trees, and a sinister coven of witches, who all stand in the way of the dwarfs' quest. Along the way, Cook, who is the self-proclaimed expert in all things romance, attempts to help Bobo find true love.
However, the true standout of the film is the relationship between Bobo and Princess Rose. Though they come from different worlds - Bobo as a clumsy and unlikely hero, and the Princess as a beautiful and graceful royal - they both share a genuine kindness and selflessness. The development of their friendship is both heartwarming and humorous, and viewers will root for them to overcome the odds and break the curse.
Despite some predictable plot points and simplistic dialogue, The Seventh Dwarf is a charming and enjoyable movie that will delight audiences who love fairy tales and animated adventures. The film's message of courage, friendship, and true love is conveyed with sincerity and will resonate with viewers, regardless of age.
The Seventh Dwarf is a 2014 kids & family movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
