SWATH (award winner for best movie title acronym of the year) is but mere weeks from theaters, and anticipation is high for first-time feature-film director Rupert Sanders' retooled version of the classic tale. Mirror Mirror caused us to worry that Snow's grace period on the big screen was over.
Check out a new SWATH Interactive trailer, followed by a new TV Spot focusing Twilight star Kristen Stewart as the more battle-ready version of Snow White:

Brave
It seems that the current trend in film is revising old stereotypes about women as the so-called "fairer sex" - particularly when it comes to princesses. Disney got the new-age ball rolling with Tangled in 2010, and both Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman are pushing things further, thanks to their respective depictions of a damsel who would rather grab a sword and fight, than wait on some Prince Charming to come trotting along.
Pixar will be Princess Merida's (Boardwalk Empire's Kelly Macdonald) fascination with ye olde tails of battle - and the tension with her mother (Emma Thompson), who believes her daughter's Tomboy nature to be unbecoming of royalty:
