Discover the Magic: Top 10 Enchanting Fun Facts About Snow White You Never Knew!

1. Looking-Glass Upgrade

Talk about a major identity crisis for a piece of furniture: In the classic Snow White fairy tale, the evil queen didn't originally strike her famous conversation with a "mirror" like we've come to know. The culprit: In the German "Schneeweißchen" version, she actually chit-chatted with a "Looking-glass upon the wall." Disney must've thought that the villains of the 1937 animated adaptation needed to keep up with the times and gave them an upgrade to the now-iconic phrase "Mirror, mirror on the wall."

2. Goofy's Wild Side Gig

Before Goofy could holler "Gawrsh!", he had a wild side gig that'd make you scream or hear the town crier's proclamation: Pinto Colvig, the original voice of Goofy and Pluto in Disney films, also lent his pipes to the terrified screams of Ichabod Crane in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and the loquacious town crier Gabby in Fleischer Studios' Gulliver's Travels.

3. Coffin Jostle Over Kiss

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who needs a kiss for a curse-breaking ball?: Contrary to the Disney version we all know and love, in the original Snow White tale by the Brothers Grimm, it's actually a coffin jostling—not a true love's smooch—that causes the poisonous apple to dislodge from her throat, breaking the spell.

4. Broadway Dwarfs Overlooked

Before the dashing Disney dudes dazzled devotees with their delightful demeanor, another batch of wide-eyed workers led the dwarf pack in Snow White's world: The 1912 Broadway play "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" featured Blick, Flick, Glick, Pick, Quee, Snick, and Whick as the miniature miners. However, our beloved and easily recognizable Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy claimed their territory in Disney's classic 1937 film and other retellings, overshadowing their erstwhile Broadway buddies.

5. Prince Ferdinand's Cameo

Feeling a tad camera-shy or just being royally fashionably late? Prince Ferdinand from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs might have coined the phrase "less is more": Despite being Disney's first ever Prince, he only graces the screen briefly in the beginning and end of the film, serenading Snow White and saving her from her wicked stepmother's curse with love's true peck on the cheek.

6. Misunderstood Evil Queen

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most misunderstood of them all? Our dear Evil Queen, naturally: In the initial Grimm Brothers' tale of Snow White, the wicked monarch was never actually identified as Snow White's stepmother, a portrayal only represented in subsequent versions, like Disney's beloved adaptation.

7. Gruesome Dance of Death

Red-hot shoes and jigs to die for: In the original Brothers Grimm version of Snow White, the Evil Queen meets her grisly end by being forced to wear blazing iron shoes and dance until she collapses dead, conveniently skipping this electrifying performance from Snow White's wedding guest list.

8. Disneyland's Scary Adventures

In a time before smartphones and rollercoasters with endless loops, a little 1955 Disneyland classic flourished - one where a simple step inside would have you questioning if you wandered into granny's house or a villain's lair: Snow White’s Scary Adventures is not only an original Disneyland attraction, but it also upgraded its soundtrack in 1983 to feature Adriana Castelotti, the OG Snow White voice actress, and added a golden mine car for the park's 50th anniversary. Don't forget to touch the apple near the entrance for a bonus serving of Evil Queen's cackle and heart-stopping thunder!

9. Lost Boy-Band Hits

The Seven Dwarfs were quite the musical geniuses, considering they invented the first boy-band in the enchanted kingdom: Alas, two of their chart-topping hits didn't make the final cut in Snow White! "Music in Your Soup" was fully animated but axed from the film, and "You're Never Too Old to Be Young" was replaced by the classic banger, "The Silly Song".

10. Evil Queen's Persistence

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most persistent villain of them all? Why, it's Snow White's Evil Queen, of course: She took not one, not two, but three relentless attempts at knocking off poor Snow before finally admitting defeat – first, she dispatched a huntsman to harvest her lungs and liver, then tried to give the princess a bad hair day with a deadly comb, and lastly, she attempted the infamous poisoned apple tactic.
