| 1 | * AudienceAlienatingEnding: The original ending, where the queen attends Snow White's wedding, and is punished by dancing in red-hot iron shoes until she dies. Most find that far too dark, and it's commonly left out of adaptations. |
| 2 | * ValuesDissonance: |
| 3 | ** Snow White is seen as extraordinarily attractive for her pale skin and blood-red lips. In modern things, this either brings to mind sickness or [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette creepiness]]. This is a major reason why many rewrites and FracturedFairytale takes depict her as more [[CreepyChild sinister]] than the original story (with some outright making her a vampire). |
| 4 | ** The story has been analyzed as having ageist qualities to it due to Snow White's beauty contrasted with her stepmother's. |
| 5 | ** Snow White is as young as seven in early versions of the story (and in others, she's often only fourteen), yet she still runs off with a prince. |
| 6 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Even the Brothers Grimm version is quite dark; Snow White's stepmother tries to have her murdered for being prettier than her, and tries to kill her three more times. She also specifically wants the huntsman to cut out the little princess's heart so she can eat it. |

| 8 | !!YMMV tropes present in the 2001 TV film: |
| 9 | * CompleteMonster: [[VainSorceress Queen Elspeth]] was once a hideous sorceress and sister of the Granter of Wishes, who was transformed into a beautiful queen to be the wife of King John and [[WickedStepmother stepmother]] of Snow White. Obsessed with being the FairestOfThemAll, Elspeth becomes furious when Snow White overtakes her for this title. Elspeth enchants Hector the hunter to kill Snow White and bring her heart, before eating the heart, then murdering Hector for failing. Upon being rejected by Prince Alfred, Elspeth transforms him into a bear and traps him inside a snow globe. She also traps King John in a mirror, where he is ForcedToWatch as she explains her plan to murder his daughter. Elspeth was also responsible for transforming many of the dwarves native to the forest into inanimate garden gnomes, a process that's implied [[AndIMustScream they remain fully conscious]]. Elspeth's personal attempts to murder Snow White include strangling her with an enchanted ribbon, before transforming into Snow White's deceased mother and tricking her into eating the poisoned apple. When Wish Granter reveals her evil deeds cost Elspeth her beauty, she attempts to murder her own brother. |
