When the vain Queen's magic mirror names Snow White fairest in the land, the princess must flee into the forest. She finds shelter in the cottage of seven dwarfs, but the jealous Queen will try anything to find her.
The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.
Why it’s here
The first animated feature and still a clear tale of envy against innocence, where kindness to strangers and cheerful work make a home.
Context notes
For parents, before you press play.
The Queen orders a huntsman to cut out Snow White's heart, and the dark forest, the witch's transformation, and her fall from the cliff are frightening for little ones. Nothing else of note.
