Funny / Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs

Go To

  • The Fairy Princess that the Fearless Seven attack places a curse on them as they walk away from her. In slow-motion they go from walking tall, cocky handsome princes to short, chubby green dwarves and their reactions to seeing each other and themselves is agonizingly hilarious.
  • Also in the prologue, Merlin's narration ends with him screeching "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? WITH THIS FACE?!"
  • Upon finding a deep drag mark to broom stuck in a tree and a silhouette of a woman in the leaves, the dwarfs deduce a witch has landed and broken into their home. Merlin uses random hand signals to Hans to go around the back, his eyes cross but he does so. The dwarfs enter with ACTION poses but drop their weapons and sigh at the beautiful Red Shoes. They try to call off Hans when he sneaks up behind her.
    Hans: "Fräulein! I bake you some REVENGE!" (Cut scene to black before his wok pan whacks Red Shoes' head.)
  • While alone and his human height Merlin reaches to the top of a bookshelf. Hans interrupts him, and by the curse, he shrinks down to a dwarf and begrudgingly answers suggests Hans look for his cookbook in the kitchen. Alone, Merlin returns to pull the book off the shelf, but Jack enters, instantly shrinking him again and the book drops on his head.
  • Arthur fakes distress before Red Shoes to earn a pity kiss; with bad acting he says "Time for me to kick butt in heaven! I had a good run. Hashtag Blessed!"
  • Red Shoes doesn't notice that he's holding the giant rabbit paw over himself as she tries to pry it off. Instead she's concerned her new 'dainty' form has taken her strength. "Ohh! I use to be able to bench press 250!"
  • Jack and Hans approach and scold Arthur on his lame attempt at hitting on Red Shoes. The look on her face after he easily pushes off the rabbit paw is priceless.
  • Merlin demands Red Shoes run away from the giant rabbit, and that she not look back.
  • One second he looks like a young wizard ready to take on anything, then a whiny dwarf complaining to Red Shoes for trying to help.
    Merlin: Hate to zap you, Long Ears, but I need to impress a beautiful woman!
    Red Shoes: Big, scary bunny over here!
    Merlin: (distracted) Red, stop putting yourself in- (Rabbit smashes) ....danger.
  • His own spell-cards gently land and electrify Merlin.
  • "You shouldn't go out alone in the forest. It's a nightmarish landscape made only for bloodthirsty warriors like myself. And squirrels." The Sword in the Stone reference, much?
  • Arthur brashly puckers up to Red Shoes and she gives him a hard slap in the face.
    Red Shoes: Oh, I am so sorry. That was way more slappy-er than I intended it to be.
  • Jack, Merlin and Hans are behind them, stunned, and then start laughing.
  • Arthur tries again and as he's left puckering as his friends walk by with jeers.
  • Still, Arthur believes he can win over Red Shoes. He points to the red hand-mark on his face with hope, "You saw what she did. A token of affection, every woman shows it differently."
    Jack: You took your shot, you got slapped.
    Arthur: May I remind you that this! (pointing to slap-mark) Is the closest thing to a kiss anyone's received since the curse!
  • This incarnation of Prince Arthur cannot pull out Excalibur. And judging by his constant trying and Merlin's teasing he's been trying for a while now.
  • Prince Average goes down his birthday party guest list:
    • Ariel: waxing her legs
    • Sleeping Beauty: doctor's appointment for insomnia
    • Rapunzel isn't getting her hair done: she's writing 'something called a book'
    • Princess Cruz is a ship
    • Princess Leia is busy being a general now.
  • Regina's barely restrained aggravation with the Magic Mirror being unhelpful.
  • Merlin and Red Shoes share a kiss at a romantic sunset. Merlin asks her not to open her eyes.
    Merlin: Wait. Don't open them until I say. When you open your eyes there will be a handsome man before, someone worthy of you, someone you'd be proud to be seen with. And, oh today is such a good day to break a curse, and now!
    Red Shoes: (opens her eyes, and Merlin is still a dwarf, but he doesn't know)
    Merlin: Ta-Da! Here I am! Mission Impossibly Handsome achieved! I know, I know it's a lot to taken in but you can let your happiness flag fly! This! Is the real me!" (Red Shoes is giggling because she doesn't know about the curse and didn't expect anyone else.)
  • Red Shoes asking Merlin whether or not they would be happier with their old selves.
    Red Shoes: Merlin, do you think we'd be happier if we were our old selves?
    Merlin: Yep, yes, yes, uh yeah definitely we would.
  • Exasperated by Arthur and Merlin's bickering while Red Shoes is taken by Prince Average's knights;
    Hans: Here's a thought; stop fighting and FIGHT!
    (A sword is thrown in Arthur's lap and the satchel of spells in thrown in Merlin's lap.)
    Jack: "What's the plan?"
  • After defeating Prince Average's goons and knights Red Shoes picks up Merlin and hugs him, to which he freezes up. Red then looks down and the other dwarfs raise their arms like sad children.
  • Regina goes to Prince Average and seeks him for help. However, before she gets there he's asking his guards whether or not the princesses he asked to attend his birthday party are going to attend or did they just so "happen" to be busy with something else? Rapunzel apparently had already used up the excuse she's getting her hair done, so her new excuse was that she was getting extensions.
  • Once he hears Regina's request, he announces he'll make Red Shoes pay... by making her attend his birthday party.
  • Prince Average, with a speaking-trumpet: "Attention hideous Dwarves! (points trumpet in his goons' ears) Is it Dwarves with an F or a V? I wanna know what's more offense."
    Regina: (later) It's dwarves with a V!
  • Merlin throws a cannon ball at Prince Average, who cringes until he and everyone else watches in unison as the cannon ball slowly rolls only a few feet past Merlin. Everyone looks back at Merlin who shrugs at the anti-climactic action. Then the faux wooden castle front cracks and begins to collapse.
    Prince Average: Huh. That's pretty cool.
  • The dwarves and Red Shoes jump through the open door as the faux-front falls on Prince Average's knights and goons. When the dust settles it appears Average survived by standing exactly in the space of the window.
    • Realizing he's defeated, Prince Average declares he shall return to fight the group again.
    Prince Average: I! Shall! Return!! On Tuesday. Wait, hold on, let me check my calenderrrrrrr....
  • Arthur glumly bangs his face against the window of an Excalibur gift-shop. Inside there are toy swords in stone, and a little girl mockingly pulls a tiny sword in and out before Arthur.
  • Merlin's giddy sneering as he's jumping back and forth between Regina's tree monsters.
  • After hearing Merlin and Red Shoes need help Hans, Jack, the triplets and the three Wooden Bears prepare confidently to go to their aid. Cut to their bored faces as they watch Arthur hopelessly try to pull out Excalibur.
    Jack: (rolling his eyes) Tête de nœud, (gestures to the triplets in their giant puppet) please end this!
  • "Did you just get Merlin'd? Oh, yes you did!"
  • Arthur, after watching Merlin embrace Snow White, "Any idea who that girl is?"
