Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film): Difference between revisions

=== The film contains examples of: ===

* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Sticks ''very'' close to the original story, but the things it cuts out (the two other ways Snow White was going to be murdered: by a poisoned comb and by being strangled from a tight corset) and things it adds in (personalities for the dwarfs) usually work to the story's benefit. The failed assassination attempts were originally going to be there, but were cut for time and animation limitations.

** In the Brothers Grimm version, it is only: "A child as white as snow, as red as blood and as black as ebony". While the most common interpretation is, that Snow White is supposed to have black hair, in earlier drawings, she ''is'' indeed often depicted having black ''eyes'' and blond hair.

* [[Adult Child]]: Dopey.

* [[All There in The Script]]: The Queen's real name, according to comic strips and old press material, is Queen Grimhilde. The Huntsman's name, Humbert, is also not given onscreen.

* [[Ambiguously Human]]: The Dwarfs.

* [[Art Shift]]: The book in the [[Book Ends]] is filmed in live-action.

* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Technically played straight with Snow White, although Disney intentionally made her "cute" instead of ravishingly beautiful.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Snow White's the fairest in the land, so The Queen tries to kill her.

* [[Don't Go in The Woods]]: Well, no, you can. Unless you usually jump at shadows or you're scared enough to imagine things as hideous monsters, giant bats, logs - alligators etc.

** Grumpy has this reaction to {{spoiler|[[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|the bar of soap.]] }}

* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: The Queen.

* [[Totem Pole Trench]]: During the party that the dwarfs throw for Snow White, Dopey gets on Sneezy's shoulders and puts on a long blue coat so that the two of them can provide Snow White with a height-appropriate dance partner.

* [[The Something Song]]: "The Silly Song".

* [[True Love's Kiss]]: Replaces the jolting of the coffin to wake Snow White up.

* [[Tsundere]]: Grumpy, whose demeanor toward Snow White (after he starts to warm up to her) is encompassed by the phrase "I'm not doing this because I like you."
