Snow White appears in the 2015 Disney Channel original movie, played by Stephanie Bennett. She appears at the coronation of Prince Ben as a reporter for the Auradon news network. She is surprised to learn that her stepmother's daughter, Evie, designed Mal's coronation gown.
The movie broke box office records, and sparked an animation empire, anchored primarily on Disneyâs signature bevy of princesses. But though Snow White was Disneyâs first full-length movie princess, she wasnât the first Disney princess. That honor goes to Persephone, the main character of a 1937 Silly Symphonies short that served as a sort of test run for Snow White.
