![]() ![]() McLemore takes this approach though Blanca and Roja are the only two children in their immediate branch of the del Cisne family, both of their parents are alive and they have many aunts, uncles, and cousins. In Stahl’s story, the girls are part of a large family. In the Grimms’ version, Snow White and Rose Red live only with their widowed mother. This is the version McLemore draws off the most, but one thing she uses from Stahl’s is the family set up. They added elements such as the bear prince and the marriages at the end, and this became the best-known version of the tale. ![]() ![]() The original story, called “The Ungrateful Dwarf,” was written Caroline Stahl, and the Grimms later adapted it. “Snow White and Rose Red” is different from other tales I’ve discussed in this feature because it doesn’t have basis in any oral folklore. My Rating: 4 stars Warning: Contains spoilers As a Retelling: I’ll talk about this a little, but I’m not going to focus on it too much since it isn’t technically a fairy tale (it is my favorite ballet though). Blanca & Roja has elements of Swan Lake as well. It’s also the first retelling of this tale that I’ve ever read. Yay! Today we’re looking at the first “Snow White and Rose Red” retelling of this feature. Welcome back to Fairy Tale Friday! This has been in the works since late January, and now it’s finally getting posted. ![]()

Wow, I just kind of made this film's premise sound dumber somehow, but don't worry, people, because this film isn't actually about Rain Man, even though plenty of critics would argue that this film, like Raymond Babbitt, is pretty retarded, except without the glimpses of genius. Well, it would appear that Barry Levinson is finally calling Rain Man back into action, hoping to use his autistic super-brain to uncover the truth about aliens.

Lawmakers are aiming to codify how Colorado’s newly legal psychedelics industry will take shape with a bill introduced in the state Senate on Tuesday that would shift rule-making power to a different agency, clarify penalties for unlawful activity and set limits on how much psilocybin an individual can cultivate for personal use.
