SYNOPSIS:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong>is the time-honoured story of a beautiful princess whose blossoming beauty disturbs her stepmother the Queen. Each day the Queen asks a mysterious magic mirror the quintessential question: \u201cMirror, mirror on the wall, who\u2019s the fairest of them all?\u201d\u00a0 As long as the mirror answers the Queen\u2019s name, all is well. However, when one day the mirror replies with Snow White\u2019s name, the evil Queen begins her quest to kill the young girl, so she may once again be \u201cthe fairest of them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Snow White\u2019s escape from the evil Queen\u2019s plan leads her deep into the forest and to a small cottage where she meets the Seven Dwarfs, in one of the most famous scenes in motion picture history. One day \u2013 when \u201coff to work\u201d they go \u2013 the wicked Queen persuades Snow White to take a bite of a poisonous apple that places a powerful sleeping curse on the young beauty. Heartbroken, the dwarfs make a glass coffin for their dear friend, because she is too beautiful to bury. Only when a handsome Prince \u2013 who had previously fallen in love with Snow White \u2013 finds her and kisses her, does she awaken to \u201clive happily ever after.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
