** "Eyes open or close..." First time it's said, Red Shoes uses it to tell Merlin that despite the "fantasized" version of himself, she likes him for who he is rather than how he looks. The second time is said by Merlin [[spoiler: on his death bed when he tries to tell Snow White that even without the magic shoes, she's still beautiful to him.]]

* CurseEscapeClause: If the dwarfs are kissed by "the most beautiful woman in the land," their curse will be broken. It notably averts ExactWords and is notably [[spoiler:metaphorical. It actually means TrueLovesKiss]].

** [[spoiler: Prince Average and his guards are changed into terrible tree monsters who hunt for Red Shoes. Later, it's revealed that the giant wooden rabbit is really the King under a spell, and the three wooden bear cubs were actually human children.]]* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the flashback, the King takes Snow White through a hidden passage to escape Regina. Later, [[spoiler: the giant Rabbit takes Merlin down a well and through a familiar passage back into the castle. This is meant to clue us in that the Rabbit is really Snow White's missing father under a spell.]]

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: [[spoiler: During a conversation with his alter ego about whether he likes Snow White's inner beauty, his alter ego is rather frustrated with how he's still obsessed with looks. So he asks him some questions to show him the error of his ways. Who does he like more, Snow White or Red Shoes? "Easy, Red Shoes." And which version of Merlin has she fallen in love with? Merlin is quick to crow it's his true, handsome form she loves. ...before it dawns on him that, no, she's come to love his dwarf self, and [[HeelRealization he just unwittingly blew off the only girl who ever loved him regardless of looks]].]]


Added DiffLines:

* IResembleThatRemark: [[spoiler: During a debate with his alter ego about how looks shouldn't matter, Merlin points out that as much as he likes Snow White, he's not shallow for not wanting to stay an "ugly" little dwarf for the rest of his life. The irony is not lost on his alter ego, who remarks "[[LampshadeHanging Kind of proving my point, Other me.]]"]]

* MeaningfulEcho: When Merlin is [[HopeSpot hopeful]] that [[spoiler: Red Shoe's kiss has broken his curse]], he looks up at the sky declaring to himself "It is such a good day to break a curse". Later, [[spoiler: when he's about to save Snow White from her own curse by slaying Regina (even [[HeroicSacrifice at his own expense]]), he bravely declares to himself "It's a good day to break a curse".]]

** Snow White doesn't like to wear the shoes as she likes how she looks but knows that people are more likely to help her if she looks conventionally beautiful. She also asks Merlin if he would have helped her in her original form if she never came upon the shoes, to which he's flustered in giving a response.

* TransformingConforming: Whenever Snow White puts the red shoes on, she transforms into a thin, conventionaly beautiful woman. With that, however, she loses all the great strenght she has with her real, overweight body. She decides to keep them because nobody would help her finding her father with her real appearance (though she's not actually ugly), but has to take the shoes off whenever she needs to use force.

* {{Curse}}: The dwarfs are cursed to be short green dwarfs whenever any other person sees them, but are their regular human selves when not being looked at. Regina's plant monsters seem to be an acception to this.

Baleful Polymorph is no longer a trope


* BalefulPolymorph:
** In the case of Snow White/"Red Shoes", it is a downplayed example. While she has been shown to take off the shoes the few times -- taking them off to escape guards looking for her and later to save a drowning Merlin -- she struggles to take them off every other time. Regina's MagicMirror implies that the Red Shoes cling to her whenever her desire to look beautiful is stronger than everything else.
** After the heroes accidentally attack the Fairy Princess mistaking her for a witch, she turns them all into dwarves.

Added DiffLines:

* PrefersTheTrueForm: The film implies that Snow White prefers her real, chubby appearance to the slim figure and conventional beauty she gains while wearing the magic red shoes. The first time she takes the shoes off and changes back, she sighs in relief. Only later does she start to prefer her Red Shoes form because it brings her more positive attention from other people, but in the end she happily changes back to her true form permanently. Meanwhile, in an inversion, [[spoiler: when her kiss breaks her love interest Merlin's spell and changes him from a green dwarf back into a handsome prince, she admits that she doesn't care for conventional handsomeness and preferred his green dwarf form. But she still loves him anyway because his TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside.]]

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Snow White's father married a witch because he thought she was kind due to her beauty. The dwarfs attacked a fairy princess because they believed her to be an evil witch due to her green skin. The whole plot of the movie is about questioning that notion.

* StoutStrength: As Snow White struggles to pull the body of a bunny off of Arthur, she states she used to be able to bench 250. It's one of the things she doesn't like about the appearance the shoes impose on her, as she greatly misses her strength.
