With Magical Extras and Special Features, Enjoy the Classic Tale Retold on Blu-ray and DVD June 26

Directed by visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh (

The Blu-ray includes sparkling extras including a behind-the-scenes featurette, a toe-tapping dance-along to the reworked Nina Hart song “I Believe in Love” performed by the film’s Collins that plays over the end credits, interactive digital storybook, deleted scenes and much more.

We enjoyed watching this movie together last night for family night! Julia Roberts plays the evil Queen. She does a great job and is funny. Lily Collins plays Snow White. She is beautiful, sweet and made me smile. Armie Hammer plays Prince Alcott. He has gorgeous eyes and is a good actor. (yes honey... you are better looking and my personal Prince Charming :)

The seven dwarfs learned some good valuable lessons from Snow White. She also learned several things from them as well. It was cool that the seven dwarfs each had different personalities. There are a lot of surprises in the movie so I decided not to write spoilers in this review. One of my favorite things about Mirror Mirror are the twists on the original story. I loved the vibrant colors, intriguing costumes and also the singing at the end of the show. We were impressed with how well this was put together and enjoyed the comedy in it!

There are a lot of fun special features on the Blu-ray. One of them we enjoyed watching was called Looking Through the Mirror. It's a behind the scenes look at the making of the movie. It shows you all the big sets they built, all the great costumes and how they came up with them. It's really interesting to watch. Also if you or your kids like to dance, there is an extra feature that teaches you all the moves of the final dance number that Snow White does in the movie. This is a wonderful family movie!
