** Scowl himself definitely counts, boasting of how bad he is and yet does more to hinder Maliss' pursuit of Snow White than he does to help it, to the point where Maliss himself hopes to roast him purely for his own amusement.

''Happily Ever After'' is an unofficial sequel to Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', [[DevelopmentHell produced in 1988 and released in 1993]] by Creator/{{Filmation}}. As the studio had actually gone under in 1989, the movie is also Filmation's last project. As with most Filmation productions, it features low budget animation and a typical [[HighFantasy high fantasy/adventure]] setting, though to get away from the Disney setting, it takes some serious plot detours.

They can also be used to carry people around, as he did with Snow White and Shadow Man.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The American DVD sloppily edits out a lot of the violence present in the original VHS edition, such as Dragon!Maliss taking an arrow to the leg, Maliss being slapped by Snow White, and some shots from when the dwarfelles take on Maliss. [[note]]This last one results in a famous continuity mistake where Snow White, who's supposed to be tied up, brings her free hands to her face, only for them to be tied back up again in the next shot. This mistake didn't happen originally.[[/note]]



* DigitalDestruction: In the DVD, the scene where the Prince takes out his crossbow and shoots it at dragon-Maliss just kind of hiccups and freezes. This doesn't happen in the VHS.
