She tries to roll a boulder onto them, but lightning strikes the cliff before she can do so, causing her to fall and get crushed to death by the boulder. In their cottage, the dwarfs find Snow White asleep by the poison. Unwilling to bury her in the ground, they instead place her in a glass coffin in the forest. Together with the animals, they keep watch over her. A year later, the prince learns of Snow White's eternal sleep and visits the coffin. Saddened by her apparent death, he kisses her, which breaks the spell and awakens her. The dwarfs and animals all rejoice as the prince takes Snow White to his castle. Cast Adriana Caselotti as Snow White, an optimistic and naive young princess, who, hiding from her stepmother's jealousy, finds shelter in the cottage of the seven dwarfs. For the part of Snow White, Walt Disney was looking for a voice that would sound "away from everyday, as if as from another world". Caselotti was cast in September 1935, although she did her first audition exactly a year before. She got to audition after Disney's casting director telephoned her father, a vocal coach, to get some voice talent references, and Caselotti, having overheard their conversation, picked up the phone to sing and banter in a childlike voice. She was chosen from among more than 150 applicants, among whom was also Deanna Durbin, whose voice sounded too mature to Disney's liking. However, Caselotti's high-pitched voice also caused some misgivings among the animators, with Disney himself admitting that her singing "would irritate". In the course of two years, Caselotti was called in for 44 days of recording sessions. Virginia Davis and Thelma Hubbard also provided miscellaneous vocal tracks for Snow White, such as her screams in the forest flight sequence. Lucille La Verne as the Queen, Snow White's envious and obsessive stepmother, who desires to become the "fairest one of all". Disney publications of the 1930s, such as the film's comic strip adaptation, indicate her actual name to be Grimhilde. The studio auditioned dozens of actresses for the role until La Verne was chosen due to her "regal, with a lot of depth" voice. However, several members of Disney's staff felt that her voice was "a little old" for the Queen.
