Once upon a time, there was a vain queen who desired nothing more than to be the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. But soon, the beautiful and young king's daughter, Snow White, became the thorn in her side. She ordered the huntsman to kill the girl deep in the forest, but as he had nothing but love for the child, he spared her life and let her go. There, deep in the woods, the king’s daughter finds refuge with seven dwarfs, who kindly take her into their little house. But the queen learns from her magic mirror that Snow White is still alive. Driven by jealousy, she hatches a new plan to rid herself of her rival once and for all!

Once upon a time, there was a king who lived in deep mourning after the death of his wife. When his advisors urged him to remarry, he ordered a search throughout the land for a woman whose beauty matched that of his late queen. A young woman is brought before him, but she will not become his bride unless he gives her three precious gowns: one as golden as the sun, one as silvery as the moon, and one as sparkling as the stars. When the king fulfills these impossible tasks, however, she demands one final gift: a cloak made of a thousand kinds of fur! But no sooner is this wish granted than she hides herself, wearing the fur cloak, unrecognized by the world and the king, as his kitchen maid. And so she puts his love to one final test!
