snow white is the first and original disney princess. a main character in walt disney animation studios' 1st animated feature film "snow white and the seven dwarfs" (1937), snow white is a beautiful young princess, described by her evil stepmother's magic mirror as having 'hair as black as ebony, lips as red as the rose, skin as white as snow' and also dubbed by the mirror as the 'fairest of them all'. she is forced to seek refuge in the home of the seven dwarfs where she hides from her evil stepmother, queen grimhilde, who got angered by the fact that snow white's beauty was greater than hers. she asked the huntsman to kill the princess; however, as an act of pity, he ends up setting her free and telling her the evil queen's plan. snow white is often described as a kind, optimistic, tidy and happy person who sees the good in everyone. originally voiced by adriana caselotti and animated by marc davis and les clark, she and her movie are based on the heroine and story of the german fairy tale "snow white" (1812) by the brothers grimm. she has also been voiced by mary kay bergman, carolyn gardener, katherine von till, and most recently pamela ribon. a crisp, blood red apple has become her trademark with years of exposure.

meanwhile, the queen, believing that snow white is dead, asks her mirror once again: "magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" the mirror tells her that snow white is still the fairest in the land. the queen is furious when she learns that snow white is still alive, and decides to kill the girl herself. she appears at the dwarfs' cottage, disguised as an old peddler, and offers snow white colorful, silky laced bodices as a present; the queen laces her up so tightly that snow white faints. the dwarfs return just in time, and snow white revives when the dwarfs loosen the laces. upon hearing from her magic mirror that snow white still lives, the queen dresses as a comb seller and convinces snow white to take a beautiful comb as a present; she brushes snow white's hair with the poisoned comb. the girl faints again, but she is again revived by the dwarfs when they remove the comb from her hair. the magic mirror informs the queen that her plan has failed again and snow white is not dead, so the queen disguises herself as a farmer's wife and offers snow white a poisoned apple. snow white is hesitant to accept it, so the queen cuts the apple in half, eating the white (harmless) half and giving the red poisoned half to snow white. the girl eagerly takes a bite and falls down unconscious. this time, the dwarfs are unable to revive snow white. assuming that she is dead, they place her in a glass casket.
