* ContinuityNod: When observing Snow White's behaviour and how radically different she is from her mother, Munk wonders if Mambo interfered with the scales again, referencing the inciting incident of the previous film's events.
* ContinuitySnarl: The Seven Dwarves' brief cameo in the previous film heavily implies that they already know Snow White and the events of their original fairy tale have already happened. This film shows her meeting them for the first time, despite this film explicitly taking place ''after'' the first.



* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Snow White's mother, Queen Grace, is shown to have died when the latter was only young. She is remembered by the entire kingdom for her unfailing and borderline saintly kindness, and Snow White's character arc involves learning to live up to her mother's legacy.

* VillainBall: When Snow White and her friends crash the wedding in the climax, Lady Vain was going - still acting on their mutual hostility from before - assumes they're trying to become queen, even Snow White, who had gotten past her own selfishness, was going to allow the marriage, but then she just had to decide stop her, and attempts to kill her.Snow White in front of the entire kingdom. If she had simply listened to what Snow White had to say to her father - that she had learned her lesson, and was even willing to ''allow'' the marriage if that was what he wanted - then Lady Vain's plan to marry the King and take the throne could have succeeded without any opposition.
