The New Year is about making resolutions, changing “you,” and maybe being inspired by Snow White?

Once Upon aTime- the beginning sentence to every fairy tale and is the hit show on ABC featuring Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays Snow White. Also playing Snow White is Twilight’s Bella, a.k.a. Kristen Stewart, in Snow White and the Huntsman out this spring.  Lily Collins, who auditioned for Stewart’s role, landed herself in Disney’s version titled Mirror Mirror, where she plays yet another Snow White.

Set to hit theaters March 2012, Mirror Mirror is supposed to be the untold adventures of Snow White.
Based on the movie trailer, Snow White is cursed to survive in the woods, while the Evil Queen, played by Julia Roberts, gives Prince Charming (Armie Hammer), a potion to make him fall in love with her and eventually get married, making the Evil Queen a cougar. There’s a twist Disney doesn’t tell!

Another twist is Julia Roberts’ sense of humor, which is portrayed through her character: Skin as white as snow and hair as black as night. “Blah, blah, blah. Her hair is not black, it’s raven and she’s 18 years old and her skin has never seen the sun, so of course it’s good,” she says.

Snow White and the Huntsman, set to hit theaters June 2012, resembles the classical version, except it takes the action and adventure to another level.  Snow White is portrayed as an empowered hunter and woman, which in the sense, is different from the traditional fairy tale.
