Harz mountains6 has gained her royal position by seducing and marrying the widowed King, giving her rule over his kingdom before he died. From that time on the cruel Queen ruled all alone, her every word was law, and all trembled in mortal fear of her anger. The vain Queen owned a magical mirror with which she could look upon whatever she wished. The Magic Mirror shows a haunted, smokey face of her familiar demon6 which replies to the Queens requests. She regularly asks the mirror who is the fairest in the realm Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all which is often misquoted as Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all89, and the mirror would always reply that she is. One day, however, the mirror tells her that there is a new fairest woman in the land, her 1. Watch A Night At The Opera Online Metacritic. Princess Snow White. She became obsessively jealous of the princess emerging beauty, therefore turning her into a scullery maid in her own home. After observing the handsome Prince from another kingdom singing a love song to Snow White, the proud Queen, in a jealous rage, commands her faithful Huntsman, Humbert, to take the princess deep into the forest and kill her. He is ordered to bring back her heart in a box to prove that he had done so. But Humbert cannot bear to kill the young princess upon realizing that she is impervious to harm, so he tells Snow White of the Queens plot and tells her to run away and never to come back. To escape the penalty, he comes back with a pigs heart and gives it to the Queen. When she questions her mirror, it again replies that Snow White is the fairest in the land, and that she is living at the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, revealing that the box contains the heart of a pig. The Dwarfs are fearful of the Queens black magic but decide to take in Snow White anyway. Furious that Humbert tricked her, the Queen decides that first Snow White shall die by her own hand and at any cost. She goes down the dungeon to her secret room where she practices her dark magic, complete with a pet raven that knows all her secrets,1. Her beauty is shrouded in ugliness and age, though presumably reversible. She then conjures a poison apple, which will cause the Sleeping Death,1. She is sure that no one would know or perform the counter curse to her spell, and believes the Dwarfs would bury her rival alive, thinking her dead. The Queen comes to the cottage, followed by two vicious vultures, and finds Snow White baking a pie for Grumpy the dwarf. Somehow Snow Whites animal friends realize that the old hag is the Queen. After an unsuccessful attempt to warn Snow White by attacking the Queen, they go to warn the Dwarfs of the Queens arrival. The Queen tricks the princess into letting her inside the cottage and eating the bewitched apple, telling her that it is a magic wishing apple. Snow White takes a bite and falls to the floor, apparently dead. The Queen rejoices in her victory, but is soon discovered by the angry Seven Dwarfs, who grab pickaxes and chase her deep into the forest as a great storm begins. She climbs up into the mountains, where she gets trapped upon a precipice that overlooks a seemingly bottomless canyon. She tries to push down a large boulder to crush the approaching Dwarfs. Before she can do so, a lightning bolt strikes between her and the boulder, destroying the precipice and sending the Queen along with the boulder down the cliff to her death, screaming while she falls to the jagged rocks below this scream was reused in Sleeping Beauty when Maleficent is stabbed in the heart by the Sword of Truth. As the Dwarfs look wide eyed over the cliffs edge, they cannot see her, but the vultures descend into the chasm. The Queens dark reign is over, and her castle is then taken over and the revived Snow White and the Prince who broke the spell.

No magic would ever bring her to life again. Conception, design and portrayaleditEarly concepts for the film called for a fat, batty, cartoon type, self satisfied Queen. However, Walt Disney became concerned that such an approach would make the character seem less plausible.
