* ExtremeOnnivore: Dopey manages to swallow both a bar of soap and a spoon (in a deleted scene) with one gulp each. Granted, both times were by accident, and eating this kind of stuff often gives him the hiccups.

** In many translations his name is altered to some variation of "Wise".
* OnlySaneMan: Grumpy's response to Snow White suddenly becoming their disciplinarian is arguably the closest to reasonable.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The Queen/Queen Grimhilde/The Witch is perhaps one of the darkest interpretations of the trope: Evidence from the book "Fairest of All" suggests that it isn't so much that she's murderously jealous of her stepdaughter being more beautiful than her as it is that she is simply incapable of letting herself not be the fairest of all, her mind and integrity just being too far gone thanks to years of emotional abuse from her own father for apparently not being beautiful in her father's standards, and having said traumatic memories being forcibly reintroduced into her life by her father's witch cousins fusing his spirit into a magic mirror, and this combined with the death of her husband led her to believe that the only way she could ever amount to anything in terms of beauty is to kill Snow White.

The handsome prince that hears Snow White's song and falls in love with her.

* HeroicBuild
* KnightInShiningArmor
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Disney animators found it difficult to draw male characters at the time, which is why he had his screentime drastically reduced by the final cut of the film. He is noticeably (much like Snow White herself) rounder in appearance and non detailed compared to later Disney Princes.

->'''Voiced by:''' Lucille [=LaVerne=]

* AllThereInTheScript: Her name, Grimhilde, was given in early publicity materials, including a ComicBookAdaptation. The Disney Company tends to forget/ignore this fact nowadays, though.
* BigBad
* CoolCrown: The queen wears a crown with spikes evoking the rays of the sun.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: "[[NothingCanStopUsNow I'll be fairest in the land]]! [[EvilLaugh Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...]] ''But wait!'' There ''may'' be an [[MagicAntidote antidote]]! Nothing must be overlooked!"
** [[GenreBlind But then she does overlook it. Or at least she sees it but decides that it won't help much]].
*** To be fair she was working under the assumption the dwarfs would bury her instead of putting her in a glass case.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Snow White is the fairest in the land... so she wants to kill her.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EvilEyebrows
* EvilIsPetty: She wants to brutally murder a young girl (her ''stepdaughter'', no less) for the "crime" of being prettier than her.
* EvilMatriarch
* EvilSorceress
* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow
* FairestOfThemAll
* FreudianExcuse: In Valentino's prequel novel "Fairest of All", it was explained that the reason for the Queen's obsessed desire for being the most beautiful of all was due to emotional abuse from her father, who refused to acknowledge her as beautiful at all prior to his death. In fact, when she married Snow White's father, the king, she actually did care for Snow White as if she were her own daughter. It wasn't until her father's witch cousins supplied her with the magic mirror (containing her father's spirit) as well as the King's death that she lost her sanity.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen
* HighCollarOfDoom
* [[KarmicDeath Karmic]] DisneyVillainDeath
* KarmicTransformation: The Queen gives us a rare case of a voluntarily self-inflicted version of this. A woman obsessed with beauty turns herself hideous as a disguise, but she spends the rest of the movie (and is most often remembered) that way.
* LargeHam: Averted with the Queen, who is usually very controlled with her mannerisms, even when angry. But when she becomes The Witch, she throws all calmness right out the window, and begins right on hamming it up.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant
* NoNameGiven
* ObviouslyEvil: The Queen in disguise isn't exactly the most subtle of all the beasts of the field.
* OffstageVillainy: It's implied the Queen committed others horrendous crimes before trying to kill Snow White -- there are a lot of skeletons in her dungeon...
* OminousOperaCape: She's actually wearing ''two'' capes, in that her sleeves are one wide piece of fabric connected across her back, under her main cape.
* PimpedOutDress
* PurpleIsPowerful
* RavenHairIvorySkin: The Queen fit that description; at least before she drank the potion.
* VainSorceress
* VileVillainSaccharineShow
* VillainousBreakdown: The Queen suffers this, but initially a rare cold - blooded one once she realizes Snow White is still alive. Then after she transforms herself into an old witch she definitely loses all her temper and lets her emotions get hold.
* WickedStepmother
* WickedWitch
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The Queen/Queen Grimhilde/The Witch is perhaps one of the darkest interpretations of the trope: Evidence from the book "Fairest of All" suggests that it isn't so much that she's murderously jealous of her stepdaughter being more beautiful than her as it is that she is simply incapable of letting herself not be the fairest of all, her mind and integrity just being too far gone thanks to years of emotional abuse from her own father for apparently not being beautiful in her father's standards, and having said traumatic memories being forcibly reintroduced into her life by her father's witch cousins fusing his spirit into a magic mirror, and this combined with the death of her husband led her to believe that the only way she could ever amount to anything in terms of beauty is to kill Snow White.
