Though minor compared to the major blockbuster battle between "The Divine Fury" and "Exit - Movie", the steady stream of sales for the South Korean animated movie is surprising for that very same reason. Summer is a bad time for a relatively unknown project to break through at the box office.

But "Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs" is a project that was a long time coming. It took five years to develop the script and another three and a half to finish all the animation. Writer/director Hong Sung-ho has had to build this project up from scratch. So it's no doubt gratifying for the production's all-Korean staff to be so positively received in the theatrical market as well as in social media comments.
