Editor’s note: Originally a German fairy tale from the early 19th century, Snow White follows a beautiful, orphaned princess as she deals with a wicked and jealous stepmother queen with help from seven friendly little miners (aka the dwarves). Poison, a magic mirror, a prince, and a kiss add to the excitement. It was always popular, but the story went Old School viral when Walt Disney Productions released the animated musical fantasy Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. The new one, Disney’s Snow White, stars Rachel Zegler, Andrew Burnap, and Gal Gadot.
