a popular version of snow white is the 1937 american animated film "snow white and the seven dwarfs" by walt disney. disney's variation of snow white gave the dwarfs names and included a singing snow white. the disney film also is the only version in which snow white and her prince meet before she bites the apple; in fact, it is this meeting that sets the plot in motion. instead of her lungs and liver, as written in the original, the huntsman is asked by the queen to bring back snow white’s heart. while the heart is mentioned, it is never shown in the box. snow white is much more mature (about 14). and she is discovered by the dwarfs after "cleaning" the house, not vandalizing it. furthermore, in the disney movie the evil queen tries only once to kill snow white (by a poisoned apple) and fails (this was likely to save time). she then dies by falling down a cliff and being crushed by a boulder, after the dwarfs had chased her through the forest. in the original, the queen is forced to dance to death.

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.
