00:13Once upon a time, in the middle of a cold, snowy winter, a queen sat by her window sewing.
00:22She accidentally pricked her finger with her needle, and drops of bright red blood fell
00:28onto the snow on the window sill.
00:31As she looked at the striking contrast of red on white, she whispered to herself,
00:37I wish I had a child with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as
00:44black
00:45as this ebony wood.
00:52Not long after, the queen gave birth to a baby girl who looked exactly as she had wished.
00:57Her skin was pure white, her lips deep red, and her hair black as night.
01:08We shall name her Snow White.
01:19But happiness was brief, for the queen died soon after.
01:34A year passed, and the king married again.
01:39His new queen was a beautiful woman, but she was also proud and cruel.
01:44She couldn't stand the thought of anyone being more beautiful than her.
01:49She had a magical mirror, and every day she stood in front of it and asked,
01:55Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?
02:05You, my queen, are the fairest of all.
02:09That answer always made her happy, until one day, when Snow White had grown into a lovely
02:17little girl.
02:19By the time she was only seven years old, she had already become more beautiful than the
02:25queen.
02:27One morning, when the queen asked the mirror the same question, the mirror answered,
02:33You are fair, oh queen.
02:36It's true, but Snow White is fairer than you.
02:41The queen was furious.
02:44Her jealousy turned into hatred.
02:49From that moment on, she couldn't stand the sight of Snow White.
02:55Her anger and envy grew each day, until she could no longer bear it.
03:10Take Snow White into the forest.
03:13Kill her and bring me her heart as proof that she's dead.
03:17The huntsmen obeyed, and led Snow White deep into the woods.
03:32When he raised his knife to kill her, she began to cry.
03:39Please, dear huntsman, don't hurt me.
03:42Let me go, and I promise I'll never come back.
03:47The huntsman looked at her innocent face, and felt sorry for her.
03:51She was too kind, and too beautiful to kill.
03:55Run, child.
03:56Escape, and never return.
04:01To trick the queen, he killed a wild boar instead, and took its heart back to the castle,
04:08pretending it was Snow White's.
04:14Believing Snow White dead, the queen had it cooked and ate it.
04:22Meanwhile, Snow White was alone and terrified in the dark forest.
04:28The trees loomed over her, and every rustle of the leaves made her jump.
04:41What will I do?
04:45Oh, where am I?
04:48What will I do?
04:56She ran for hours, not knowing where she was going.
05:07Finally, as the sun began to set, she came across a strange little house in a clearing.
05:23Inside, she found seven small plates, seven cups, and seven little beds.
05:39Hungry and exhausted, she tasted a little from each plate, and drunk a little from each cup.
05:46She then tried each one of the seven beds, until she found one that felt just right.
06:10That night, seven dwarfs returned from mining in the mountains.
06:16Look, someone has been in our house.
06:29Who's been sitting in my chair?
06:33Who's been drinking from my cup?
06:36Who's eaten from my plate?
06:39Someone's been sleeping in my bed, and she's still there.
06:46Who is she?
06:49She's so beautiful.
06:51Oh yes, she is such a lovely girl.
07:01They didn't wake her.
07:03Instead, they let her sleep.
07:06And the seventh dwarf took turns sleeping with each of the others through the night.
07:25In the morning, Snow White woke up and was startled to see the dwarfs.
07:30But they were friendly and kind.
07:32They asked her name and how she had come to be in their home.
07:36Snow White told them her story.
07:38The wicked stepmother, the huntsman who had let her go,
07:42and how she had wandered through the woods until she found their house.
07:45If you stay here and keep the house tidy, cook, clean, sew, and wash, you can live with us.
07:53We'll protect you.
07:57Snow White agreed, and for a time, she lived happily.
08:03Before they left each morning, the dwarfs warned her.
08:07Be careful. Don't let anyone in.
08:09Your stepmother will soon find out you're still alive.
08:13Back at the palace, the queen stood before her magic mirror once more.
08:20Mirror. Mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest one of all?
08:25To her horror, the mirror replied.
08:28You are fair, oh queen. It's true.
08:32But Snow White, beyond the hills, with seven dwarfs, is fairer still.
08:37The queen was furious.
08:41I will not be thwarted!
08:45Disguising herself as an old peddler woman, the queen traveled over the mountains to the dwarfs' cottage.
09:01Lovely laces for sale! Beautiful ribbons!
09:06Good day, madam. What are you selling?
09:09Snow White, thinking this harmless, opened the door and admired the lace.
09:13Oh, how lovely!
09:16Allow me, dearie. Such a pretty thing needs to be just right.
09:25Now you'll never be more beautiful than me!
09:28When the dwarfs returned, they revived her just in time.
09:35That was your stepmother. Promise us, don't open the door again.
09:41The next day, the queen asked her mirror again.
09:45I will not be thwarted! Snow White will pay!
09:56Enraged, the queen disguised herself once more, this time as a different old woman.
10:05She made a poisonous comb and traveled again to the dwarfs' home.
10:17Pretty combs for your lovely hair!
10:22I must not let anyone in.
10:25No need. Just take a look from your window.
10:28Snow White admired the comb. When the woman offered to fix it in her hair, she allowed it.
10:33But the moment the comb touched her head, the poison worked and she collapsed again.
10:39When the dwarfs returned and saw her lifeless body, they searched and found the comb.
10:44As soon as they pulled it out, she revived.
10:48You must never, ever open the door to strangers again!
10:54When the queen learned that Snow White was still alive, she created the most dangerous trick of all.
11:00A beautiful red and white apple, poisoned only on one side.
11:06Then she dressed as a farmer woman and knocked on the dwarfs' door.
11:20Delicious apples, fresh from the orchard!
11:23I can't let anyone in.
11:25That's alright. Here, I'll cut this one in half.
11:29You eat the red side, I'll eat the white. That way, you'll see it's safe.
11:34As soon as Snow White took a bite, she fell to the ground.
11:38When the dwarfs came home, they couldn't revive her.
11:41They tried everything, but nothing worked.
11:46She didn't breathe. She was gone.
11:49For three days they wept over her, then built a glass coffin,
11:53placed her in it on the mountain, and one of them always stood watch.
12:07Mirror! Mirror on the wall! Who is the fairest one of all?
12:17You, my queen, are the fairest of all.
12:27One day, a prince rode through the forest and saw the beautiful girl in the glass coffin.
12:34He read the golden letters.
12:36Snow White, daughter of a king.
12:39He was so moved by her beauty.
12:42Please let me take her with me.
12:44I'll honor her memory always.
12:47At first, the dwarfs refused, but the prince pleaded with such sincerity that they finally agreed.
12:55As his servants carried the coffin away, they stumbled on a root.
13:00The jolt caused the piece of poisoned apple to pop out of Snow White's throat.
13:11Where am I?
13:15You're safe now.
13:17Come with me to my castle.
13:19Will you be my queen?
13:22Snow White smiled and agreed.
13:24A grand wedding was held.
13:27Snow White and the prince were married in splendor.
13:31The wicked queen, still believing Snow White was dead,
13:35was invited too.
13:37Before she left, she stood before her mirror.
13:40Mirror, mirror on the wall.
13:42Who is the fairest one of all?
13:44You, my queen, are fair.
13:46It's true.
13:47But the new queen is fairer than you.
13:50The queen's heart was filled with dread, but she had to see who this new queen was.
13:57At the wedding feast, a punishment had been prepared.
14:00The queen was forced to wear red-hot iron shoes and dance in them until she dropped to the floor,
14:07never to rise again.
14:09And so, Snow White and the prince ruled their kingdom with kindness and joy.
14:16She never forgot the dwarfs who had saved her, and they visited often, always welcomed as honored guests.
14:24And they all lived happily ever after.
14:27And they all lived happily ever after.
