Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the time-honored story of a beautiful princess whose
blossoming beauty disturbs her stepmother the Queen. Each day the Queen asks a mysterious magic
mirror the quintessential question: “mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all.” As long as
the mirror answers the Queen’s name, all is well. However, when one day the mirror replies with Snow
White’s name, the evil Queen begins her quest to kill the young girl, so she may once again be “the
fairest of them all.”
Snow White’s escape from the evil Queen’s plan leads her deep into the forest and to a small cottage
where she meets, in one of the most famous scenes in motion picture history, the Seven Dwarfs.
Once “off to work” they go, the wicked Queen persuades Snow White to take a bite of a poisonous
apple that places a powerful sleeping curse on the young beauty. Heartbroken, the dwarfs make a
glass coffin for their friend, because she is too beautiful to bury. Only when a handsome Prince — who
had previously fallen in love with Snow White — finds her and kisses her, does she awaken, “to live
happily ever after.”
This movie was first made in 1937 and is the first American animated feature film in movie history and the first film to have a soundtrack album released!

****This has always been one of my favorite movies. Since this video hasn’t been available since 2001, my children have never seen it, so I’m glad to be able to share the magic of this movie with them. My DD are Disney Princess fans, so they really enjoyed this movie. The seven dwarfs really amused them, and now I am listening to Heigh Ho, over and over. The Games and extras are a lot of fun, my kids really enjoyed Dopey’s Wild Mine Ride.
