SYNOPSIS:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the time-honoured 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 the Seven Dwarfs, in one of the most famous scenes in motion picture history. One day - when "off to work" they go - the wicked Queen persuades Snow White to take a bite of a poisonous apple thatplaces a powerful sleeping curse on the young beauty. Heartbroken, the dwarfs make a glass coffin for theirdear friend, because she is too beautiful to bury. Only when a handsome Prince - who had previouslyfallen in love with Snow White - finds her and kisses her, does she awaken to "live happily ever after."
