snow white grotto is located on the east side of the sleeping beauty castle or cinderella castle. the grotto includes statues of snow white, the seven dwarfs, and a few woodland creatures. snow white is standing at the top of a cascading waterfall. there is a bridge and a walkway in front of the waterfall as well as a wishing well, the proceeds of which go to local children's charities. the statues were donated anonymously and walt disney was determined to incorporate them into the park. the only problem was that whoever made the statues made snow white the same size as the dwarves, which she is not. walt disney imagineer john hench used the optical trick of forced perspective to make the statues work. he put snow white at the top of the waterfall with a disney-made small deer and put the dwarfs close to ground-level, making snow white to appear further away, and thus smaller. one rumor as to the origin of the statues is that they were "a gift from an italian sculptor that had never seen the film, but owned a set of soaps in the form of the princess and the dwarfs. unfortunately, snow white was the same size as the dwarfs in the soap set, so the sculptor made her that way." the song "i'm wishing" was also re-recorded and added to the grotto inside the wishing well in 1991 by adriana caselotti, who was the original voice of snow white from the 1937 production.

meanwhile, the queen, believing that snow white is dead, asks her mirror once again: "magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" the mirror tells her that snow white is still the fairest in the land. the queen is furious when she learns that snow white is still alive, and decides to kill the girl herself. she appears at the dwarfs' cottage, disguised as an old peddler, and offers snow white colorful, silky laced bodices as a present; the queen laces her up so tightly that snow white faints. the dwarfs return just in time, and snow white revives when the dwarfs loosen the laces. upon hearing from her magic mirror that snow white still lives, the queen dresses as a comb seller and convinces snow white to take a beautiful comb as a present; she brushes snow white's hair with the poisoned comb. the girl faints again, but she is again revived by the dwarfs when they remove the comb from her hair. the magic mirror informs the queen that her plan has failed again and snow white is not dead, so the queen disguises herself as a farmer's wife and offers snow white a poisoned apple. snow white is hesitant to accept it, so the queen cuts the apple in half, eating the white (harmless) half and giving the red poisoned half to snow white. the girl eagerly takes a bite and falls down unconscious. this time, the dwarfs are unable to revive snow white. assuming that she is dead, they place her in a glass casket.
