History Fridge / SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs

*** 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.

** WordOfGod : She didn't think of it. There is a whole comic sequel by Italian Disney comics artist Romano Scarpa that's set just after the movie. Grimhilde manage to escape the boulder, and is only slightly injured by the fall… except that… she discovers that SHE CAN'T TURN BACK INTO HER BEAUTIFUL FORMER SELF, and that SINCE NO ONE RECOGNIZE HER SHE CAN'T GET BACK IN HER OWN CASTLE. Beyond being a FateWorseThanDeath, it is also an explanation for all those 40's comics and strips with the Dwarves battling the Witch without even addressing that it's only a disguise from the queen, and also a starting point for the main plot of the story, which is that the Queen attempts to switch bodies with Snow White using a spell.

* Snow White's love of housework is seen as ValuesDissonance by some today. But from a Watsonian point of view, it might be a kind of Stockholm Syndrome — the Queen has forced Snow to do housework all her ''life''. It is perfectly natural, and also somewhat heartbreaking, that she was forced to find some pleasure in that to avoid sinking into depression, to the point that she can imagine no other way to enjoy herself by the time she gets to the Dwarfs' cottage.

* 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 her ''previous'' rival for "fairest one of all"? Or maybe Snow White's father the King? [[note]]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, in a deleted scene she tries to force Snow White's prince to marry her too.[[/note]]

* Grumpy is very superstitious and paranoid, claiming he knows theres trouble a-brewin' because his corns hurt and accusing a simmering pot over a fire of being witch's brew. Its portrayed as just being a comical quirk in his character that makes him the slowest to trust Snow White and thus giving him the potential for CharacterDevelopment. FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you realize that his ramblings and worries are ''completely justified'' as they live in a world with witches and magic mirrors and all sorts of other wacky shit.

* Why did the Queen run away from the 7 dwarves, outside of the fact that she has the appearance of an old hag? It's because they are dwarves, a species of small humanoids who are known to be VERY strong. In Norse Mythology, for example, one can use the core of a STAR and make it into a weapon. Just imagine what would happen if they got their hands on her!

* The Queen seems awfully blasé about the lengths she's willing to go to to exterminate Snow White, such as the way she shows off her heart to the mirror or drinks the potion in such a stoic manner. While it could be that keeping her beauty supreme above all others is [[SeriousBusiness just that important to her,]], could it also be possible she's so okay with all of this because she's actually ''done it before?''

* The monstruos trees Snow White sees as she runs through the forest represent anything connected to the Queen. They have ugly wrinkled faces, glaring eyes, some of 'em a pointed nose and clawed hands just like the Queen when she's in her hag form.

* When the Queen tells the Huntsman to kill Snow White and bring her heart as proof, he tries to get out of it until she reminds her of the penalty for failing (which is never said). The Huntsman ends up providing the heart of a pig, and the Queen finds out. But then did the Huntsman suffer the penalty for not doing what he was ordered to do? And what is the penalty?

* When Snow White at first thinks that the house is occupied by messy children and realizes that they might have no mother, her face becomes surprisingly sad. No wonder: the poor girl had already lost her biological mother and her stepmother wanted to kill her!

* With Snow White being the 'maternal' figure of seven grown men, its kinda hard to see until you realize that Snow White's showing her leadership skills all throughout the film; she's able to coordinate animals into cleaning other things, she is very authoritative towards the Dwarves and gives them rewards for listening. She is basically showing her chops as a fair and just ruler, when you compare her to her step-mom as someone's who is likely a tyrant.

** 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, in a deleted scene she tries to force Snow White's prince to marry her too.
** You lot may think the skeleton was either the huntsman or a lover; however it could be dethroned king (ie, her own husband) that she betrayed and imprisoned. I have no idea why I thought this.

** Rest assured, it probably ''wasn't'' the huntsman, though; considering the Queen had just found out about his lies, there wouldn't have been enough time to have him imprisoned, let alone for him to have become a skeleton by that point.

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

* This is probably unintentional, but... the Queen in disguise is Satan/The Snake, and Snow White is Eve. Think about it.

** 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. Or they are waiting for {{Minecraft}} to be invented.
