In fact, Snow White lost in the woods is almost a frame-by-frame copy of the Disney sequence, complete with a live tree out of the 1939 Wizard of Oz. This might grab some youngsters' attention by frightening them and some by amusing them, but the love sequences and the forgettable songs might bore them. The fight sequences are possibly too grisly for some children; Guy Rolfe dies by falling into a vat of boiling oil.
As a Three Stooges vehicle, it differs from their other films. Except for Curly Joe's spoonerisms, there is little humor in the dialogue, a bare minimum of slaps (without the reassuring comic sounds), and no eye pokes. (Moe was sensitive to parental complaints about their television shorts.) There is, however, a touching moment when they are mourning the supposed death of Snow White. And you do get to see them in color. --Frank Behrens

Customer Reviews of Snow White and the Three Stooges
Snow White and the 3 Idiots.(That's a compliment) This is the first Three Stooges film I ever saw. I must say that as a fariy tale movie it's wonderful. Lots of action, nice acting, a little PG action, wonderful skating, and a little PG action... They provide pretty good comic relief, but compared to their shorts and other films, they just don't have that Stooge humor. The Stooges said their part in this film was small...I have to agree with them. Overall, a good film if you want a fariy tale film, but if your expecting a load of slapstick, sound effects, and zainness, I say this again... Then again, you see the film and judge for yourself:)...
THE BOYS CAN REALLY ACT!!
Yeah, yeah, I know. This is probably the worst feature film the Three Stooges ever made. I don't blame 20th Century Fox for trying to cash in on the Stooges craze at the time. Fox was desperately trying to save itself. During 1961, Fox was struggling to make "Something's Got To Give," with a mostly-absent Marilyn Monroe, who was ultimately fired. The over-budgeted "Cleopatra" was in production in Europe at the same time with the million-dollar Elizabeth Taylor.So Fox was hoping this would be a nice easy way to bring in some much-needed revenue.
The best thing about SW&TTS is seeing these men whom we have grown to love genuinely proving themselves as dramatic actors--the only good acting in the film, besides Patricia Medina. When Snow White is kidnapped and then dies, the fear and grief of Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe is really heartbreaking. I don't know whether director Walter Lang gets the credit or not. For whatever reason, the Stooges are the only reason to watch. If only the comedy could have kept up the momentum set by the clever opening credits. It's no worse than some of the abysmal later Columbia shorts. If you love the Stooges, you can't dismiss this film entirely.
The Three Stooges help out Carol Heiss' Snow White
I think the idea was probably to have "Snow White and the Three Stooges" do for the Three Stooges what the 1952 version of "Jack and the Beanstalk" did for Abbott & Costello, but this 1961 film does not come anywhere near that level of fun. The Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Joe DeRita this late in the game) are pretty much supporting characters to Snow White, who is played by 1960 Olympic gold medalist skater Carol Heiss, in her one and only film. Obviously the hope was that Heiss, who had won six straight medals at the World Championships (1955-1960) before winning the gold medal at Squaw Valley, would turn out to be another Sonja Heine.
The grand irony is that the Stooges are rather likeable in this film, which means they are not really the Three Stooges. They are the protectors of Snow White and you can actually make the argument that these are among the most realistic characters the Stooges ever played. Of course, if you stop and think about it there are two pretty good reasons why this sanitized Stooges feature is devoid of physical punishment. The first was that during this time, when the Stooges Columbia comedy shorts were being aired on television, there was a lot of parental concern that kids would emulate the Stooges slapstick violence and hurt each other. So there was an effort to tone things down. The second reason was that the Stooges were all in their sixties, and beating each other up was simply not going to look right.
However, despite the less than stellar results this was not a throwaway production. "Snow White and the Three Stooges" was directed by Walter Lang, who won an Oscar for "The King and I," but also had directed the Stooges back in 1933's "Meet the Baron." Meanwhile, the script by Noel Langley and Elwood Ullman received a Writers Guild of America nomination for Best Written American Musical. I sort of like the fact that the Stooges are the good guys in this, helping both Snow White and the novice actress Carol Heiss, but I have to admit these are not the real Three Stooges. Young kids might like this for the most part, although they might be struck by how quaint the figure skating routines if they have seen any figure skating on television. Then again, the same can be said for watching Sonja Heine, Peggy Fleming, and even (I cannot believe I am saying this) Dorothy Hamill.
