Good Essays

“From this slumber
She shall wake
When true love’s kiss
The spell shall break.” This is the spell the evil queen puts on Snow White in Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs ( ). It was written by David Hand, Ben Sharpsteen, Perce Pearce, Larry Morey, William Cottrell, and Wilfred Jackson. Snow White is a princess who is the fairest in the land. When the queen gets jealous Snow White has to run, and ends up with the seven dwarfs. When the queen finds her, she needs true love's kiss to save her.

More events in the movies are unrealistic, rather than realistic. An example of an unrealistic feature is the princesses being
