** There was a segment planned where the Dwarfs have soup after washing their hands and sing a song about...soup. If it had been put in the final product, it would have qualified for this trope!

** Pretty much every song in the movie counts, but ''Some Day My Prince Will Come'' is a standout. Its impossible not to get chilles when the melody kicks in as Snow White wakes up at the end.

** Also, The Queen: Unrepentent CompleteMonster who values being beautiful over the life of her own stepdaughter, or an extremely dark WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds (to Kefka levels) who, after being reexposed to mental anguish caused by her father regarding not being beautiful at all and an extremely low self-esteem left her so broken and insane that she felt that killing her stepdaughter was the only thing left to match up to her abusive father's standards of beauty.

* CompleteMonster: Why, the Queen, naturally - she intends to murder a sweet, innocent little girl (who is also her stepdaughter) just because she can't tolerate the idea that Snow White is more beautiful than she. The initial attempt was to send a hunter to kill her and ''cut her heart out and put it in a box''. And when this doesn't work he plans to put her asleep forever with the Poison Apple and having the dwarves, who will believe her dead, burying her ALIVE !!!.

** On the other hand, some sources (such as Serena Valentino's prequel novel "Fairest of All") try to give a FreudianExcuse for the queen, such as being emotionally abused by her own father (a maker of mirrors) refusing to acknowledge her beauty, and it being implied that the mirror (which contained the spirit of her dead father) was the reason why she even went insane enough to attempt to murder her stepdaughter (prior to gaining the mirror, she did genuinely care for Snow White as if she were her own daughter), thus making her an extremely dark WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds.

High Octane Nightmare Fuel


* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Plenty -- The Queen's transformation scene into the witch (as well as her witch disguise in question) and Snow fleeing into the woods are the best examples. The Disney theme-park ride these parts of the film inspired, "Snow White's Scary Adventures", is now ''legendary'' for freaking out tots.
** "She'll be BuriedAlive!!!! Hahaha!!"
** The queen kicking the skeleton in her dungeon and laughing adds some gratuitously creepy DeadBabyComedy. [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel "Have a drink!"]]
*** Because the guy died of thirst with the water jug ''just'' out of reach.
*** Especially when you consider that the movie originally was going to show us the guy when he was still alive and not all skeletal.
** There's a certain evil look the flesh-hungry vultures give each other from their perches when the evil Queen falls to her doom that's...[[PickyPeopleEater pretty creepy]], to say the least.
** Snow White spotting the Queen staring through the window. Hell, at this point we might as well stop beating around the bush and just sum this up with "The Queen in general".
** The creepy expressions of the trees during Snow White's run in the forest were pretty disturbing as well.
*** The woods sequence was actually noted as being extremely scary to audiences during its initial theatrical run; some people even rushed out of the theatres in anguish.
*** One of the trees has also a very hideous "rapist" look.
** The Magic Mirror, anyone? Its unearthly, creepy face and voice must've scared a lot of young ones senseless throughout the film's shelf life. Fortunately, many people could eventually [[CatharsisFactor savor their]] {{r|oaringRampageOfRevenge}}evenge against it and other scary things in the film in ''[[KingdomHearts Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep]]''.
** Hell, just the frontal shots of the Queen in her Witch form in general. The way she stares into the screen makes you feel like [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou she's watching you]]. The fact that it's like looking through a point of view shot at those points doesn't help. This Troper can't help becoming unnerved by looking at her, and this is a troper normally unfazed by NightmareFuel and (unfortunately) {{tear jerker}}s.
** The fact that Snow White herself looks and sounds no older than about 13 or 14, and the prince's voice places him as quite a bit older than that. Suppose we should be grateful she's not ''7'' as she is in the original...
** Do we need to mention the fact that the Queen wanted the hunter to present her with ''the heart of Snow White'' when he's done killing her?

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There were originally intended to be scenes with the Prince imprisoned by the Queen in a dungeon and making a daring escape, which was dropped because the animators were not yet experienced enough to handle the extra work of making a believable human character, what with Snow White and the Queen already taxing their skills. Some of these ideas were eventually used in ''Disney/SleepingBeauty''.
** Additionally, some of the scenes with the Dwarfs were also cut, mostly to tighten up the story. Best known of these was the "Music in Your Soup" song, which was eventually shown on the Disneyland program in pencil test form. There's also a missing scene where the Dwarves build a bed for Snow White, which turned up in a childrens' book.
** All three of the Queen's assassination attempts (poison comb, bodice suffocation and the poison apple) were originally going to be included, but eventually they [[PragmaticAdaptation streamlined it]] to just the apple instead. The bodice was cut first, and the comb appears in the title card at the beginning.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Dopey, particularly around the time the film was originally released. Many predicted that he would become as big as MickeyMouse and DonaldDuck. It didn't quite turn out like that, but still, to think that it might have is impressive.
** Dopey was, in fact, the initial choice for the apprentice role in the ''Sorcerer's Apprentice'' sequence from ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''. He was replaced because Donald was the public's favorite Disney character at the time, and Walt Disney wanted Mickey back in that seat.
** Grumpy seems to have amassed a big following in recent times, to the point where a reasonable amount of merchandise is dedicated to him and his sourpuss attitude.
* EvilIsSexy: The Queen, until she transforms herself into the hag.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: At the film's climax, Grumpy completes his CharacterDevelopment by leading the dwarfs in [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge chasing the Queen down after she poisons Snow White]].
* MoralEventHorizon: Oh dear god...The Queen definitely crosses it: She wants to kill an innocent girl (who is probably 16 or less) and for what?!? Just because she's more beautiful than her. And if that's not enough she plans to poison her with the Poison Apple making her fall into the Sleeping Death hoping the dwarves [[AFateWorseThanDeath will bury her alive]].
** And it was also originally planned that she tried to force the Prince - the guy who loved Snow and who Snow pined after - to marry her. And when he refused, she would try to drown him in the dungeon.
** The Queen crossed it long ago when she hired a huntsman to try and kill Snow White. How? Because she tells the hunter that in order to make sure Snow White's dead, she asks him to ''cut her heart out and put it in a box to present her with''!

Added DiffLines:

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Virtually any scene of significance in this movie has been copied, homaged, parodied, and/or ripped-off incessantly for over ''seventy years''. Best advice to parents is to show it to the kids quickly.
