The Story
The prince quickly jumps the wall to find Snow White singing her wishing song at the wishing well. He startles her and she runs to safety inside of the castle. She later emerges during his song letting him know of her mutual affection.
Once inside the castle the prince continues to sing to her. Here, the Evil Queen is introduced. She despises this prince's affection for Snow White insisting that she is the "fairest in the land" not Snow White. She quickly shuts the window's curtains in disgust.
Having no friends, the queen looks to her mirror. She hopes to find comfort in the magic mirror's words to her. She asks "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Unfortunately, the mirror informs the queen that she is not the fairest, Snow White is. She quickly calls in one of her servants, a hunter, to kill Snow White and bring back her heart in a box.
The hunter takes the box into the woods where he finds Snow White picking flowers. He aims to stab her to death with his knife, but cannot do it. He looks her in the face and tells her to run because she does not deserve to die. He kills a pig instead and takes the pig's heart to the queen for proof.
Snow White runs as quickly as she can. She runs through a swamp and through a thick stretch of forest. She finally collapses under her own fear and cries on the forest floor while the animals come to see what is the matter.
Snow White tells the animals that she is very lost. She cannot go home and she has nowhere to stay. The animals then lead her to a little cottage in the woods.
After calling in to ask if anyone is home she enters finding the place empty and dirty. She quickly decides that she will clean the place up (with the help of her animal friends of course!) to surprise the owner of the home. She then discovers that there are many little people who live in the house. She first assumes that they are children.
After cleaning the home all day she accidentally falls asleep upstairs in the "children's" bedroom. The dwarfs (who are now newly introduced as diamond miners) come home singing their favorite song "Hi Ho" to discover that the home is NOT how they left it. The inspect the little cottage until they find Snow White sleeping in their beds. She wakes up, and they all are frightened by their meeting.
The seven dwarfs agree to let her stay as long as she cleans the home and cooks hearty meals for them to come home to. They party that night!

The movie switches scenes to the Evil Queen.

The Evil Queen has by now discovered that the hunter has lied to her. Snow White is STILL the fairest in the land. She decides to take matters into her own hands and creates a potion that will turn her into an old lady. She brews up another potion to make a poison sleeping apple (whose spell can only be reversed by true love's first kiss. The Evil Queen plans on giving Snow White the apple at the dwarf's cottage.

The Evil Queen has by now discovered that the hunter has lied to her. Snow White is STILL the fairest in the land. She decides to take matters into her own hands and creates a potion that will turn her into an old lady. She brews up another potion to make a poison sleeping apple (whose spell can only be reversed by true love's first kiss. The Evil Queen plans on giving Snow White the apple at the dwarf's cottage.
The Evil Queen (now looking like an old grandmother) takes her basket of apples (one is poison) to Snow White. The dwarfs are off at work and she is busy cooking them a gooseberry pie. She takes a bite of the poison apple and falls to the ground under the apple's deep sleeping spell.
The Evil Queen quickly rides of cackling. The dwarfs are immediately notified by the animals of the forest who have witnessed this tragic scene. The dwarfs hurry to try to catch the queen and make her pay for what she's done to their beloved Snow White.
The weather quickly turns into a violent rain and thunderstorm. The Evil Queen (now on top of a cliff) tries to pry out a large rock from the cliff to tumble down upon the dwarfs. She slips, the ledge breaks, and the Evil Queen falls to her death. The vultures circle the skies signifying that the Evil Queen is officially dead.
The seven dwarfs are completely saddened by Snow White's condition. They think she is dead. They construct a glass coffin with gold trim and make a beautiful memorial for her. The thought of burying her is far too painful for the dwarfs and the other woodland creatures.
The Prince hears of the fair maiden's death and rides in on his white horse to see if this is the beautiful girl he had seen singing at the castle. Surely enough it is. He is so in love with her that he opens the coffin and kisses her lightly.
The kiss awakens Snow White! She then becomes animated and rides into the sunset with her beloved prince. Snow White lives a "Happily Ever After".
