    Review: Snow White and the Huntsman Snow White and the Huntsman is an adaptation of the Grimm fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. However the focus is not Snow White and her interaction with the seven dwarfs‚ much like the popular Disney portrayal of the fairytale that viewers have come to know. This version of the fairytale is dark and sinister‚ placing an emphasis on the evil Queen’s agenda and the Huntsman who is sent to hunt down Snow White. This new action-packed spin on the fairytale
