The queen eventually learns of Snow White's whereabouts and, disguising herself as an old hag, fatally poisons her stepdaughter with a tainted apple. The heartbroken dwarfs stand guard over the girl's body until a handsome prince restores her to life with a kiss.
Snow White doesn't die properly, she falls into the 'Sleeping Death' until the Prince kissed her. Then he takes her to his castle, which is among clouds probably because it's in the distance. What if Snow White's stepmother, the Evil Queen, has died after being chased away by the Seven Dwarfs?
We all know about the poisoned apple, but in the original version in Grimms' Fairy Tales, the Wicked Queen tries both to suffocate Snow White by giving her a lacy bodice and then tightening the laces and to stab her in the head with a poisoned comb.
There has also been the suggestion that the story of Snow White originated from the real-life story of a countess and her alleged lover, Philip II of Spain. The countess, named Margarete von Waldeck (1553 – 1554) was supposedly poisoned at a young age, as politics were more important than real love at the time.
The new instalment is coming out next year, with quite an ironic twist: Snow White, who is described as having 'skin as white as snow' in the original Grimm Brothers version, is no longer white at all. Instead, she will be played by actress Rachel Zegler, a Latina of Colombian ancestry.

Did Disney change Snow White?
However, while speaking at Disney's D23 Expo in 2022, title star Rachel Zegler said that the original Snow White “does not work for today's audience," so they created “a new version of the character.”
The story of Barbara was that she was so beautiful that her father felt he had to lock her in a tower to protect her. She became a Christian, which made her father, a Pagan, so upset that he beheaded her.
In the original story, The Little Mermaid is motivated by a fear of death and desires a soul and an afterlife in addition to love. The original Little Mermaid story is much darker and violent than Disney's version, with the sea witch brutally cutting out the mermaid's tongue in exchange for legs.
The seven dwarfs represent Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Light, Shadow, and Magic, although the 'Magic' dwarf is essentially a spirit that just inhabits Snow and enhances her power rather than appearing on its own, with the others appearing in some form to represent their element.
Ivy White is the only daughter of Snow White and Prince Florian. Ivy took her middle name, Floor, from her father's name, but she takes a lot from her mother than her father. Her mother Snow White is a local news reporter while King Florian is a king at Charmington.

In 1937 the release of Disney's first full length-animated film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” in Technicolor, goes on to become the most successful sound film of all time.
Let us explain. The theory, that seems to have originated in the comment section of a Buzzfeed article, says that the princess was actually dead at the end of the film. That's not all, apparently, Prince Charming is the grim reaper who gives her the “kiss of death” before taking her to heaven…
Since the animated feature film had a white mermaid as Ariel, some people are angry that Disney has gone with a black actress in the live-action. Some people also believe that Hans Christian Andersen described the Little mermaid as a white mermaid in his book. Therefore, Disney should have cast a white actress instead.
The new version stars Halle Bailey, most known for her role in the Grammy-nominated Chloe x Halle R&B duo, as Ariel in the actress's first starring feature film role. This casting of a Black woman as the iconic mermaid has made waves.
What is the dark and original story of Cinderella?
But do you know what the original story was like? If you thought the story started the same as Disney made it, then you are right! Cinderella's mother dies and then her father marries her evil stepmother, adding her and Cinderella's evil stepsisters to the family. Lucky for Cinderella, her father doesn't die.
The Grimm's version of "Rapunzel" ends happily, with Rapunzel finding her lost love the prince, curing his blindness with her tears, and the couple riding off towards his kingdom to live happily ever after with their twins.
Cinderella marries the prince and forgives her two stepsisters, then marrying them off to two wealthy noblemen of the court. They all lived happily ever after. The first moral of the story is that beauty is a treasure, but graciousness is priceless. Without it, nothing is possible; with it, one can do anything.
In 1937, Walt Disney Animation Studios released its first fully animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, pioneering a new form of family entertainment.
BuzzFeed views Snow White as a German woman, and suggests that a "historically accurate" Snow White would have been raised within the "austere and religious" culture of the Holy Roman Empire in the 16th century.
