* CompleteMonster: [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen The Evil Queen]] is the very first Disney feature-length villain and one of the most wicked of them all. The WickedStepmother of Snow White, the [[VainSorceress Queen]] forces her to work as a scullery maid in vain envy of Snow White's beauty, and when her MagicMirror informs her Snow White is a rival to her title as "fairest in the land", the Queen opts to have Snow White killed. Initially, she sends a huntsman to kill her and carve out her heart under penalty of the huntsman's own death, and when this fails, the Queen turns herself into an [[WickedWitch old hag]] so she can trick Snow White into eating a [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink poisoned apple]], all to curse Snow White with the "Sleeping Death" and trick the seven dwarfs into [[BuriedAlive burying her alive]]. [[TheDreaded Hated and feared across the land she rules over]], the Queen has no problem with attempting to flatten the dwarfs themselves when they get in her way, and has a dungeon stocked with the bones of her previous victims, among them one poor soul who perished clawing for a jug of water placed just out of reach.

* CatharsisFactor: It's nothing but insanely therapeutic--even if also nightmare-inducing--[[spoiler:when the Queen/Witch plummets off the cliff screaming when lightning strikes while she stands in the midst of trying to crush the Dwarfs with the boulder. The boulder rolling down right after her is also a great touch. She's not the first Disney Villain for nothing and not getting the signature DisneyVillainDeath for nothing either certainly]].

** In a rather unfortunate literal case of this, this film was beloved in Nazi Germany (the [[WesternAnimation/Pinocchio next time]] Disney would have a movie ready for international distribution, Europe was kind in the middle of a [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII huge war]], so it was more well known in Allied Countries at the time). Even UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler was a fan, as he occasionally doodled fan art of the dwarves during war meetings.

*SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Grumpy’s original voice actor was Pinto Colvig, as in the original voice of WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}. During the big TearJerker scene where the dwarfs mourn for Snow White’s apparent death, Grumpy not only weeps, he audibly sobs. You heard that right, the original voice of Goofy managed to weep convincingly.

** Snow White and The Prince are both assumed to be 14 and 31, respectively, which tends to be a source of controversy (for [[ValuesDissonance obvious reasons]]). However, Disney has never [[VagueAge officially stated their ages]]. One early outline from when production started did list Snow White's age as 14 and the Prince's age as 18.[[note]]An internal training film for Disney Parks cast members also states Snow's age as 14[[/note]] However, given that the same outline describes the Prince to be a "[[Creator/DouglasFairbanks Doug Fairbanks]] type" (which is [[WhatCouldHaveBeen not reflected in his final design]]), it's unlikely this applies to them in the finished product.

** There's also the long-standing joke that Snow White herself ReallyGetsAround, thanks to her living with seven men. While very few people (if any) actually believe that, the character was bound to become the subject of such a joke in the age of computers, internet, and shock-value humor.

* HypeBacklash: While still a respected and beloved film, it gets this for all of Disney's touting it as "the one that started it all." A lot of this is down to SeinfeldIsUnfunny too - with Disney perfecting their output since the 1930s.

* OneSceneWonder: The tree hallucination. It only lasts for one scene, but it's one of the most remembered scary moments from Disney's library.
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Oh boy, where to start? One can convincingly make the argument that this film suffers from this phenomenon more than any other. Here are a few reasons:
