The Queen begins
by telling us the story of Snow White’s
birth. Her mother died. She was spoiled, and the
kingdom was a very happy place. Her father was grooming her for the kingdom,
when he met the Queen. They got married, but he had to go away. He gave Snow
his dagger, and rode off into the woods, and was never seen again. Snow White
searched for him, but he wasnt
found. Now she is at the mercy of the Queen. Ten
years after the King vanished in the Dark Woods without a trace, Snow White never
left the castle.
One day, one servant
named Brighton steps forward to tell her that the kingdom is
close to being destitute. Snow White comes downstairs, from the bedroom she
seems to live in, to ask the Queen if she can attend the gala since it is her
18th birthday. The servants help
Snow White celebrate her 18th birthday. One woman, Baker Margaret, speaks up, telling her that she knows she will one day take back
the kingdom, which is why she has stuck around all those years. She gives Snow
White the dagger she received from her father all those years ago as a gift.
Snow White decides she is going to leave the castle.
While walking in the snowy woods, Snow White
comes across the two men, who are hanging upside down from a tree. They are Prince Alcott and his friend. She decides
to release them. It almost seems to be love at first sight for her but he
declines the offer to travel with them. Snow White is wandering in the streets of the village where
she sees children and adults begging for food and money. Brighton comes into
town and puts up a notice that there is to be more tax collection. Snow returns
very upset, telling Baker Margaret how horrible everything has become for the
people.
All of
a sudden we hear those famous words spoken by the Queen Mirror Mirror on the
wall except the difference is, she walks into it. When she comes out she is in
a new place in another dimention where she is in a small hut on a vast lake.
She talks to another version of herself in the mirror, discussing marrying the
Baron.
Back at the palace, the Queen is interrupted by
Prince Alcott. The Queen has
never heard of his kingdom before and organizes a ball very quickly to impress
him. Her plan is to marry the prince, however, she is reminded by Brighton that
they have no money to pay for it. She doesnt care that people are starving
however and does whatever it takes to throw the ball.
That
evening, the costume ball begins. Snow White crashes the ball dressed as a
white swan where is surprised to see the prince, and he is also surprised to
see her. They dance together, all the while being watched by the Queen. The
Queen corners Snow White, questioning her as to where she got the dress, while
Snow yells at her about the conditions in the village. Snow White stands up for
herself, saying she is the rightful leader of the kingdom. The Queen later tells Brighton she wants Snow White killed,
and to take her to the woods and feed her to the beast.
Still
in her white swan dress, Brighton has now brought Snow White to the woods. Brighton,
in appreciation still of how her father treated him so kindly, cuts loose the
ropes tying her hands together and tells her to run. She runs through the woods.
She wakes up inside the house of the 7 dwarfs. She tells them that she is Snow
White, however not all of them believe her. She tells them that she has no gold
for them, and explains how the Queen tried to have her killed. They are
reluctant to let her stay, as they could be killed for it. They decide to let
her stay for one night.
The
dwarfs tell Snow White she can stay with them, but must live by certain rules.
She must become a thief, and Snow White agrees as long as what they steal from
the Queen goes back to the people. They begin to teach her all their tricks,
including how to sword fight and use their costumes. Over the next few days,
she quickly learns their ways and trains well to be a thief with them.
The
Queen knows that Snow White has not died,
upset, once again goes through her mirror into her hut in the alternate
reality. She tells the mirror she wants Snow White dead and she wants to marry
the prince.
At the
house of the dwarfs, they reveal that they heard the Queen is marrying the
prince, meanwhile the prince is under spell by
the Queen. Snow is upset . The
next morning, the Queen and Alcott prepare for their wedding. Snow White and the dwarfs decides
to crash the wedding. They steal Prince Alcott. They try to break that spell by a kiss
from Snow White, and it works. Suddenly they hear the roar of the beast
and Snow White leaves to fight it herself. But Alcott and the
dwarfs try to help Snow White. Meanwhile, the Queen goes back through
the mirror, very giddy, thinking they will die. The dwarfs manage to get Snow
Whites dagger to her, but instead of killing the beast, she grabs the celestial
necklace from it. The Queen notices that hers no longer has powers and the
mirror tells her now she will see the price for using magic, and she grows old.
Suddenly
the beast disappears and turns into Snow Whites father... The King.
Snow White is thrilled, and the King doesnt understand how she has grown up.
She tells him he has been under a spell and introduces him to everyone. He asks
Alcott how he can ever repay him, which is of course giving him Snow Whites
hand in marriage.
