Fun fact! In the original Disney film she never says 'mirror mirror...', she says 'magic mirror...'

Another fun fact: in Grimms fairy tales, the original story, she says mirror mirror. Also snow white was 7 when the mirror took a liking to her.

The prince also liked her corpse so much he just wanted to carry it around in it's glass coffin, but didn't want to kiss it. They drop her corpse while carrying it around and make her spit out the poisoned apple, so she revives.

"Wassup?"

Which is extra creepy when you read Neil Gaiman's (adult) version of Snow White (Snow, Glass, Apples).

And she says"who's the fairest of them all" not the hottest.

*"Who is the fairest one of all"

I always thought it was a combination of both looks and personality. Maybe I was wrong.

While it's been a while since I've seen the original anything, I thought it said the queen was beautiful (and so "fair") visually, but she had a cold heart as she got older and more vain (and so was no longer "fair" in personality).
