Fair enough, but my point was why single out the video sequel for
our wrath, when there have been so many of them in comic books? Even
Barks sort of drew one in "the Golden Christmas Tree", where he showed
the wicked witch meeting with an end more akin to the one in the real
fairy tale. (OK, he didn't show Snow White, so this doesn't count.)
As in my first posting I wondered whether I was missing something,
I'd better point out that by "sequel", in this case, I mean all those
stories showing Snow White inexplicably living with the dwarfs (visiting,
perhaps?), and not stories about Snow White living in the palace with
the prince, trying to prevent her mother from giving poisoned apple
juice to her guests. (I'd *love* to have seen this, and for this reason,
alone, I would not oppose a story of the second type. If you add to this
the radio show that I mentioned, it would seem that there are a lot of
creative things that one can do with Snow White.)
