    From what I remember, the Mirror on the Wall never said she was ugly, just that Snow White was “the fairest of them all,” or “the prettiest/most beautiful one of them all.” She could have been pretty still, just not the prettiest.

          16, iirc. Comes up in one of the arguments with her father. To be fair to that movie in particular, the ending wasn’t “and then they banged”, but more, “at some point, they got married”

              Don’t remember if his age was specified, but I gave the movie the benefit of the doubt, not him. Her dad could wipe Erik’s entire kingdom off the map if he mistreats her though, so the power dynamic is a little more unbalaced than any age issues, in her favor.

                His original voice actor, Christopher Daniel Barnes, was only 16 when he recorded his voice for Eric. The producers decided to cast him because he sounded much older than his actual age.

                he’s described as a man, not beating the grooming allegations

                  16 was a man, not so long ago. Thanks for hassling me into almost giving a shit about this cartoon movie that is probably older than you. Real improvement to both our lives, right there.

        Also, one of the moral points the fairy tale is making, is the fact that the queen is ugly inside.

        The mirror also states that she is the most beautiful “here” but that Snow White “beyond the seven mountains” is “a thousand times more beautiful”. Really rubbing it in, that mirror.

    To be fair, the queen was in her late twenties, Snow was in her tweens, and the mirror was but one pedophile inside the kindom of pedophiles.

        That story is at least 120 years older than Disney’s implementation. In the original the huntsman brought back Snow White’s supposed lungs and liver which the queen then ate.

          Right, so it has fuck-all to do with Disney’s version. They had no reason to make it so the biggest apparent differences between the queen and Snow White were age and malice, but most overtly, age.

    “fair” means pale-skinned and her name is Snow White…

        They’re saying that the question the witch asks is “who is the fairest ?” which does not mean “the most beautiful”
