Yung-Queen be 1000 times more fair

The queen in Snow White never ponders why she isn’t the fairest in the land or what she could change to improve herself and become the fairest of them all. She immediately wants to get rid of her competition, by killing snow white. Ultimately, the Queen’s three attempts to kill Snow White with a laces, then a comb, and finally a poison apple, she falls short and ends up dancing in iron slippers. To me the queen’s failure to be the best, is a good theme or moral to teach children that you don’t become the best or the “fairest of them all” by cutting out the competition, you do it by improving and changing the bad things about yourself.

Some differences from my childhood Snow White by Disney compared to Grimm’s Snow White are: the various and graphic attempts to kill Snow White were left out of the movie, as well as the animal assistance from the owl ,raven, and dove. Snow White was kept in a clear coffin and wasn’t awaken with a kiss but bump in the road while riding the Prince’s carriage, that coughed up the poisoned apple. The Grimm version ends with the Queen doing the dosey doe in iron slippers until she drops dead.  All of these features from the Grimm version took me by surprise and I think it is better than the watered down Disney version.
