The Korean animated feature Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs is expanding into North America with a digital release (AppleTV, Amazon, and other digital and on demand platforms) this Friday, September 18, followed by Blu-ray and dvd on Sept. 22 through Lionsgate.
In the fairy tale spoof, Snow White steals a pair of red shoes that transform her into a princess, while a witch’s curse turns seven princes into dwarfs, forcing them to seek out the princess, hoping for a kiss to break their spell.
Produced by Locus Corporation through its animation production arm, Sidus Animation Studios, its makers claim that Red Shoes is the most widely-distributed wholly-Korean-produced animated feature, with distribution secured in over 123 territories around the world. The film has grossed over $10 million USD throughout its theatrical run, and recently spent two weeks atop Spain’s box office, where it bested Disney-Pixar’s Onward.
