2.25 min. | 4.83 user rating		 Glamour TV - Pirelli Calendar 2010 video back-stage. Uncut and long version (8 min.) on www.glamourtv.it - Models: Miranda Kerr, Georgina Stojiljkovic, Gracie Carvalho, Marloes Horst, Ana Beatriz Barros, Lily Cole, Eniko Mihalik, Daisy Lowe, Abbey Lee Kershaw , Catherine McNeil, Rosie Huntington.

3.12 min. | 4.78 user rating		 There is perhaps no more beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tale than the legend of a beautiful young girl fleeing her home because of a jealous stepmother. Now more breathtaking than any previous interpretation, "Snow White: The Fairest of Them All" is a fantasy of truly epic scope. Wonderfully acted and cleverly scripted, this modern retelling introduces such classic elements as Snow White's miraculous birth and the mysterious reason why her father remarries after his wife's death. Miranda Richardson ("Enchanted April", "Merlin") stars as Queen Elspeth, the beautiful, yet vain stepmother whose desire to be the "fairest in the land" ultimately leads her to conspire to kill any rival for that title. Kristin Kreuk ("Smallville") stars as Snow White, the winsome young princess who is forced to run away into the forest where she finds protection and shelter with a band of peculiar little men. "Snow White: The Fairest of Them All" is a magical adventure with such dazzling special effects and unforgettable characters that it will instantly capture the hearts--and imaginations--of a whole new generation. In my opinion, this is the best Snow White movie ever made. I'm very sorry about the subtitles and that the sound is off! NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED. I just love this movie and want others to be able to enjoy it as well!

5.53 min. | 4.80 user rating		 Argumento: Alicia teme la reunión que sus padres han organizado para sus familiares y amigos ya que éstos esperan que la niña cante después del té. Poco antes de la hora prevista para su número, Alicia decide huir de la casa y se esconde entre unos arbustos en el gran jardín de su casa. Allí decide que se esconderá hasta que todos se hayan ido, ya que cantar frente a desconocidos le aterroriza. Después de poco tiempo, le entra el sueño y mientras observa caer lentamente una manzana de un árbol, un conejo extraño con ropa y reloj de bolsillo llama su atención. Alicia deja su escondite e inmediatamente corre detrás del conejo, que al parecer lleva mucha prisa, y éste la dirige dentro de su madriguera. En el interior del túnel, Alicia pierde pie y cae en un profundo y extraño pozo lleno de toda clase de objetos. Al final del pozo, Alicia se encuentra en un mundo completamente diferente al suyo, donde las flores hablan y los gatos sonríen. En el "país de las maravillas", Alicia encuentra todo tipo de personajes, buenos y malos, algunos con la intención de quitarle a Alicia el miedo a actuar. A medida que aprende y se divierte, Alicia es puesta a prueba en una sala de juicio donde se enfrenta al Rey ya la Reina de corazones, donde comprueba su seguridad propia y se convierte en su llave para poder volver al mundo real sin miedo y enfrentar su situación.
