Our story began a long time ago ...
Snowflakes were falling from the sky, soft as cotton balls ...
The young Queen was sitting near the window, sewing and watching the snow fall.
Suddenly, she pricked her finger with the needle and a drop of blood fell onto the snow.
The color contrast made her desire:
I wish I had a daughter with skin as white as snow,
cheeks and lips as red as blood and hair as black as night.
A short time later, the Queen's wish was granted.
The baby looked like just the way her mother wanted her ...
and remembering her wish, the Queen gave her the name of Snow White.
Unfortunately, the Queen's joy was not meant to be.
The poor woman contracted a rare and deadly disease, and she died.
After a year of mourning, the King got married again and the kingdom had a new Queen.
She was a beautiful, charming woman but, aware of her beauty, she was also very, very vain.
There was one thing the Queen liked to do, a thing that always made her happy, and that was:
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?
My Queen, you are the fairest here.
Of course I am! No other woman can compete with my beauty ...
And you can speak only the truth, my Mirror.
Years passed, and one day the Mirror changed its answer.
You are very fair, my Queen ... but Snow White is the fairest that I have seen.
What? How dare you tell me that little brat is fairer than me!?
Snow White was 16, and she was the most beautiful maiden in all the land.
The Queen, angry and jealous, ordered the royal huntsman to bring the Princess to the forest ...
and kill her.
The huntsman was ready to stab Snow White with his knife ...
but the innocent beauty of the maiden moved his heart.
He bowed in front of her and revelead everything about the Queen's command.
My stepmother? Oh, my, it can't be ...
I can't kill such a pure soul ...
I'll tell the Queen I fullfilled my task, but you must leave the country, Princess,
and never come back to the palace.
Thank you, huntsman. I'll never come back.
Good luck, Your Highness.
The huntsman brought the Queen the heart of a pig, pretending it was Snow White's ...
and she was satisfied.
I'so tired! I can't run anymore ... Oh, there's a light down there.
Hello! Anybody home?
The table's ready with seven dishes, seven forks, seven knives and seven little glasses ...
I'm so hungry all these delicious things make my mouth water ...
I know it's rude, but I'll have only a small bite.
- The door's open ... - What happened here?
- Someone has been sitting on my chair! - And someone has been eating from my dish!
- Who stole my bread? - What about my salad?
- Someone used my fork! - And my knife, too!
- My glass of wine is half empty ... - Look! Someone's sleeping in my bed!
- Who is she? - Who knows? But she's really pretty.
- Now what shall we do with her? - She seemed very tired ... let's let her sleep.
Where am I? In a cottage in the forest, I remember now ...
Here you go. Here you go.
One. Two. Three ...
Good morning, my dear. Have you slept well?
Is this cottage yours?
Yes, we live here in the forest and work in the mine.
There, stones shine like diamonds and rubies ...
So the house in which I've slept is yours.
That's right. But how did you get here?
- I ran off because of my stepmother. - Your mother?
- Your stepmother is a heartless woman. - Poor maiden.
And so, now I have no home, no place to live ...
You didn't tell us your name, pretty child.
My name is Snow White.
Snow White? It's such a lovely name ... and it's perfect for you.
Thank you.
If you'd like to live in the forest, you can stay with us as long as you like.
- You can cook for us. - Help do the chores.
- And the laundry. - You will look after us.
Glady, I'll be happy to stay here.
Oh, I feel so relieved ... now that Snow White's dead, I'm again the fairest in the land.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?
But I am, no doubt.
You are very fair, my Queen ... but Snow White, over the seven hills, is a thousand times more fair than thee.
What did you say? It's impossibile, she has been slain by the huntsman ...
No way, the Mirror never lies.
Very well, Snow White. The huntsman tricked me, but now I'll take care of you.
Be careful, Snow White. Watch out for the wicked Queen.
If she discovers you're alive, she may come here to hurt you.
When we are not at home, don't open the door to strangers.
I'll be fine.
Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho! It's work from home we go ...
Laces, ribbons, beautiful and precious fabrics.
Come and see my cheap merchandise.
Good day, Ma'am. You are very far from home, here in the forest.
Oh, no problem. I don't mind walking if my clients are as pretty as you hare, darling.
- Would you like to have a look? - Oh, no, I ...
My articles are very, very refined, dear.
This woman seems honest ... I'll let her in just for a minute.
Thank you, my dear.
Now, please, turn around. I need you measurements.
This lovely silk ribbon is just perfect for you noble neck.
Now I'll pull it until you're out of breath ... so I'll be the fairest of them all!
Poor Snow White. The old woman was in fact the wicked Queen in disguise.
Snow White!
- She's not breathing. - We must do something.
Where's the old peddler?
Snow White, that woman was not a peddler, but your stepmother who came here to kill you.
We told you to be careful.
Please, Snow White, if we are not home, don't let anyone in the house. Have we been clear?
Sure.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who now is the fairest of them all?
You are very fair, my Queen ... but Snow White, over the seven hills, is a thousand times more fair than thee.
Damn Snow White. Her luck helped her once more ...
Combs! Who wants a comb?
The evil Queen came back again to the cottage, dressed as an old comb seller,
in order to kill Snow White.
The look of the peddler was so humble that Snow White was moved again, and she let her in ...
Now I'll tidy up your hair with one of my combs ...
the one I've dipped in poison!
Snow White!
Wake up, Snow White! Please, answer me.
Luckly, the dwarf took the comb out of her hair before the poison completed its work.
But Snow White hadn't learnt the lesson, yet.
You are very fair, my Queen ... but Snow White, over the seven hills, is a thousand times more fair than thee.
Oh, it's impossible! She will drive me nuts! But this time no one will be able to save you, Snow White, I swear.
Let's see what this old witchcraft book says ...
I must use bat ears, frog blood and petals from a red rose ... and then a drop of dragon slime.
That's it! With the help of this potion, Snow White will disappear from the face of the earth!
Nice red apples, really delicious. Anyone home who wants to buy my juicy red apples?
Good morning, Ma'am. Unofrtunately, I'm not allowed to let anyone in, I'm sorry.
What a pity, they're so delicious. Have a look.
- What a beautiful apple ... it looks really tasty. - I'll tell you something, just take it as a present ... come on.
You're kind ... but I can't accept anything from strangers.
Then you don't deserve my present. Now I must go, goodbye.
Wait, please. I'm sorry.
But, dear, tell me what are you afraid of? Poison perhaps?
It's the best apple I have ever eaten. I took a big bite from it and nothing happened.
You see? Come on, girl, take it ... don't be afraid.
There's no harm in a bite ...
I knew she would asked me to try the apple first, and I put poison only in the red half!
This time, although the dwarfs tried everything they could, Snow White didn't open her eyes.
But the maiden, even if she seemed dead, didn't lose her beauty. She looked like she was sleeping.
That's why the dwarfs decided to put her in a glass coffin, so that everybody could admire her beauty.
My Queen, you are the fairest here, you have no more rivals.
Of course I haven't, my potion will continue to keep Snow White in her doom forever ...
and if someone tries to save her, he will follow suit.
There's no antidote and no one will dare risking his life to save that little idiot!
And from that tragic day on, the dwarfs continued to guard the coffin of the poor Snow White, day and night.
Seasons passed, and the beauty of the maiden never showed signs of decomposition.
And then, one bright morning, a Prince who was lost in the forest passed near the coffin, and was shocked.
What a beautiful maiden.
- Tell me, who is it? - The poor thing was named Snow White.
Snow White? I have never imagined that such a lovely girl existed on this earth ...
Oh, she looks alive! But what happened to her?
Her wicked stepmother made her bite a poison apple.
A poison apple? What a cruel act!
Look, she's crying ... please, I want to take care of her for the rest of my life.
No, no one will ever take Snow White away from us, understand?
As soon as I saw Snow White, I was enchanted. I'll try everything I can, yes, I'll give my life to try to save her from the poison she took.
You sound like a sincere young man ...
You seem to be a good-hearted man, so we decided to trust you and to put the fate of Snow White in your hands.
Thank you, my friends.
- I'll do anything to save her. - I'm sure you will, Prince.
What's wrong?
I bet this is because of the poison apple spell.
I'm not afraid, no one can stop me from loving Snow White.
- Oh, Your Highness! - Snow White.
Hurry, follow us to a safe place. Come on.
Take Snow White to that cave, hurry.
Evil soul, fight against me if you dare. I'll save Snow White no matter the price.
Watch out, Your Highness. Metal attracts thunder. Put away the sword immediately.
The Prince has been hit, now what can we do?
Not all has been lost. The handsome Prince's true love makes the miracle happen.
Oh, you're awake.
- Snow White, do you feel well? - Who are you?
God bless you, Snow White is safe.
Oh, Snow White, I hate you. But you're not getting away with this ...
How dare you!? Are you insane? You don't know who are you dealing with ...
Let me go! It's an outrage, you'll be both put to death! Let me go!
To pay for her evil behavior, the guards forced the Queen to put on hot metal shoes ...
and dance until she fell down, dead.
In the meantime, Snow White and her Prince got married, and they lived happily ever after.
