Her stepmother is the evil queen, and she is jealous of Snow White’s beauty and irked by the blossoming attraction between Snow White and a handsome young prince. An attempt by the queen to have Snow White killed causes Snow White to flee into the forest where she befriends the animals --the squirrels and birds and deer -- and seven lovable dwarfs with silly names that match their personalities. Snow White and the seven dwarfs have a great time singing and dancing with the animals, until the evil queen hatches yet another devious plot...
