snow white

The traditional roles of the stepmother being evil and vein are the same as well as snow white being innocent. The Disney version is obviously more playful and sing-songy. In the Disney version the prince meets snow white before she goes to live for the dwarves. I looked it up and it says it is because Disney wants to stress how snow white is helpless and needs a man to save her from the very beginning. Snow whites life with the dwarves are very different in the two versions. One she dos the housework by choice the other is to earn her keep.
