The story
Snow White is a princess born to a benevolent king and queen, who is forced into a life of servitude as a scullery maid by her evil stepmother, the Queen. The Queen, obsessed with her own beauty, uses a Magic Mirror to monitor her status as the 'fairest one of all.' When the Mirror identifies Snow White as a threat, the Queen orders a huntsman to eliminate her. After the huntsman spares her life and warns her of the Queen's plot, Snow White flees into the forest. There, she encounters a group of magical beings and a bandit named Jonathan, beginning a journey to reclaim her kingdom and safety from the Queen's tyranny.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Snow White is a princess whose mother died of illness, leading her father to marry a woman who is actually an evil enchantress. The Queen, obsessed with being the fairest, forces Snow White to work as a scullery maid. After the King disappears, the Queen's Magic Mirror declares Snow White the fairest, leading the Queen to order the Huntsman to kill her. The Huntsman spares her and tells her to flee. Snow White finds refuge in a cottage with seven magical beings (Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Dopey) and meets a bandit named Jonathan. They fall in love, but Jonathan is captured by the Queen's guards. The Queen, disguised as a peddler, tricks Snow White into eating a poisoned apple, causing her to fall into a 'Sleeping Death.' Jonathan eventually escapes and awakens her with a kiss. Together with the magical beings and the huntsman, they march on the castle. Snow White confronts the Queen, and the Queen is destroyed by her own magic. Snow White is crowned queen with Jonathan by her side.
