Santore's illustrations are lovely, but also kind of stiff and lifeless, so I'm not entirely fascinated by them. The dwarves in particular look like wax dolls. What I've seen of his illustrations for The Little Mermaid, I actually like them a little more. Strange.

I do appreciate the fact that they chose a version without the corpse kissing, though. I like dark fairy tales, but that part always slightly sickens me.
