A princess of noble birth, Snow White is
forced into rags as a scullery maid by her jealous stepmother,
the Queen. Blessed with an innocent's indomitable spirit, the
fair maiden never loses faith that one day the wishing well will
grant her wish for a true love to come and take her away. When
her dream is answered by a serenading young prince, the evil
Queen orders Snow White killed. Faced with the girl's innocence,
the huntsman assassin can't kill her, and begs her to flee deep
into the forest, never to return. Once again her innocence saves
her as the forest animals lead her to the Seven Dwarfs' cottage,
where she takes the role of their adopted mother (even the
woman-wary Grumpy can't help but warm to her eventually). The
Queen, however, will use the girl's naiveté against her as she
dons the guise of a helpless peddler hag to lure Snow White into
taking a bite from a poisoned apple. Falling into a sleeping
death, Snow White can only be awakened by love's first kiss.
