 Synopsis
“Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs” (film)
A beautiful but orphaned princess, Snow White, live with her
stepmother, the wicked Queen, who previously relegated her to
servitude. The Queen is jealous because she wants to be known as
"the fairest in the land" when Snow White's beauty surpasses her
own. The Queen's huntsman is ordered to take Snow White into
the forest and kill her, but he cannot bring himself to do so because
of her innocence and beauty, and instead begs Snow White to run
away into the forest and never return to the castle. The forest
animals befriend Snow White and take her to a cottage, where
seven dwarfs live. The dwarfs grow to love their unexpected
visitor, who cleans their house and cooks their meals.
But one day while the dwarfs are away at their diamond mine, the Queen
arrives at the cottage disguised as an old peddler woman and persuades
Snow White to take a bite of a poisoned apple, promising her it will make
all her dreams come true. Snow White wishes for a reunion with the
Prince, takes a bite, falls into a deep sleep, and the peddler woman
declares she's now the fairest in the land. The dwarfs, warned by the
forest animals, rush home to chase the witch away and she falls to her
death, but they are too late to save Snow White. Thinking Snow White is
dead, the dwarfs place her in a glass and gold coffin in the woods and
mourn for her. A Prince, who had fallen in love with Snow White earlier
because of her lovely singing voice, happens by and awakens her from the
deep sleep with love's first kiss.
