* At the end of the movie Snow White leaves with her Prince. All fine and good... until you consider the fact that the King is long dead, the Queen is missing (as far as the Kingdom knows) and Snow is implied to be the only heir to her Kingdom. What happened to her beautiful and peaceful Kingdom once she was gone? A Civil War? Another Kingdom invading?

* For the BrothersGrimm version, the mirror isn't magic. The Queen knows this, and asks the mirror to stroke her ego. She becomes do jealous of Snow White that she goes insane and hallucinates her image in the mirror.

* The scene with the trees might seem out of place but if you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2zrs7Irzuw watch it.]] you'll notice that all the faces only appear as she gets more and more frightened. Given that she's 14 and just found out her stepmother wants her dead by the man who was originally suppose to kill her it's perfectly understandable that her imagination got the best of her and made her situation worse.

* Why does Snow White offer to keep house for the Dwarves in exchange for letting her stay? Because her whole life she's been put to work cleaning. She has no valuables on her and so she's bargaining with the only thing she can. She's that desperate to hide from the Queen, she's offering herself as a servant to someone else.

** The Mirror did say "rags cannot hide her gentle face". The Queen knew she couldn't hide Snow White's beauty because hers was both inside and outside. And the hag potion was a ''disguise'' and not a permanent transformation. Plus she might not have known about the spell until she read the book.




to:

** She was furious. That the Huntsman had lied to her, that she had thought she had won and now she hasn't. She made a rash decision to take matters into her own hands. Maybe she wanted to punish Snow White herself for somehow "escaping".

* ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'': After the queen transforms, she goes to a secret underground boat, passing a forgotten cell where a skeleton lies with arm outstretched to an empty water pitcher. The queen mockingly asks the skeleton, "Thirsty?" and kicks the pitcher so that it scatters the bones. Was this the ''previous'' "fairest one of all"? Or was it [[SacrificialLion the poor Huntsman?]]

* After her first plan failed, why didn't the Queen just ask her all-seeing, all-knowing Magic Mirror how to become fairest in the land again? Surely the Mirror would have been able to come up with a better plan?

** Then again, the Prince doesn't look too much older than her, and, as they've already met and seem pretty enamoured with one another, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to want to say goodbye.

goodbye.
** If you look at the onscreen narration, it was said that "the Prince searched far and wide" and "have heard of the sleeping princess"-- excuse me, I don't fully remember what they all said but anyway, that means word has spread that Snow White was "asleep" and he knew this. And prior to that, the seasons change in the backgrounds, and when Snow White was seen in the coffin ''she was still intact and barely discolored'' since probably blood still flowed through her veins and when she woke up after the "true love's kiss", she stretched as if she just took a [[{{Understatement}} long nap]]. Unless, that doesn't make that any better, at least you now know that the Prince did not kiss a cold, lifeless, corpse.

** While we're at it, that mine looks like it's absolutely full to bursting with diamonds, which are jutting right out of the walls. Yet we see the Dwarfs picking at what appears to be empty rock. Wouldn't they collect all the obvious ones before digging for more? Unless the above theory that they don't really need the diamonds and are just killing time is true...

** Actually, in an abandoned plot line, it was mentioned the Queen often forced men to marry her so she could get their kingdoms. The skeleton is implied to be a man who refused her. And yes, she tries to force Snow White's prince to marry her too.

* Outside of being a romantic ballad, the song "Someday My Prince Will Come" takes on a whole new meaning when you consider that Snow White was in hiding at the time she sang it; her Prince showing up would mean a quick and safe escort out of the Queen's jurisdiction.

*** Fairest in the '''land'''. Not world. Also, while Snow White's niceness might've added to her looks, I don't think the mirror was concerned with inner beauty that didn't show up on the outside.


Added DiffLines:

*** In the ends, The Queen wanted Snow White dead because the Queen was a jealous heel, not because there wasn't a more pragmatic solution. But while we're guessing, maybe the hag potion doesn't last very long.

** In the movie, the Queen was suddenly concerned with killing Snow White in a way that no one would suspect her. It's not made clear why she cares about that later and not earlier (she may have always been concerned about being caught, but previously assumed the Huntsman was loyal enough to keep her secret. Afterall, if she wasn't afraid of people knowing, she could've had Snow White killed in her courtyard instead of the deep woods). Anyway, she needed a disguise, and the old hag form was perfect, except that the hag wasn't strong enough to kill Snow White with her bare hands. She had to trick her. Notice, she was so wary of interference that she had to make sure the dwarfs were away first.
