Snow White's step mother consults with her magic mirror by asking the mirror "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who is the Fairest of them all?" As the mirror always tells the truth it tells the Queen that Snow White is the fairest and upon hearing the news, the queen sets out to destroy the beautiful maiden once and for all. What the queen cannot control is that with the help of the dwarfs and a prince, Snow White lives happily ever after.
