Snow White

We all know the story of Snow White. She was a beautiful princess, and her mother, the queen, didn’t want her to become the most beautiful in all the land. She orders her huntsman to kill Snow White, but the huntsman cannot bring himself to do it and tells her to run away. Snow White finds a house that is inhabited by seven dwarfs who offer to take her in, in return for cooking and cleaning. In the Disney movie, the Queen finds out that Snow White is still alive and gives her a poisoned apple. In the Grimm tale, however, it takes the queen 3 tries to incapacitate her. First, she tries to suffocate her with a bodice lace. Then she poisons a comb and tries to comb her hair. Finally, she tries the apple, putting her into a deep sleep. The dwarfs bury her in a glass coffin so they can still see her. Eventually, a prince comes and convinces the dwarfs to give the coffin to him. As they are taking it out of the ground, the piece of apple is dislodged, and she wakes up. Snow White seeks revenge on the queen and forces her to dance in burning-hot iron shoes until she drops dead on the floor. For obvious reasons, Disney decided to keep that out of the “kid’s version”.
