the scene where one of the dwarfs says "not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" might want a closer look by the editor, as "chin-chin" means private part in japanese.

The titular character's name implies drug addiction.  "Snow" is street slang for any white powder some people inhale through their nostrils.  "White" implies that the powder is high-grade cocaine.

As for the dwarfs...

Many types of drug abuse can produce symptoms, such as changes in sleep/wake patterns ("Sleepy"), mood swings ("Happy", "Grumpy"), alteration of personality ("Dopey", "Bashful"), and allergies ("Sneezy") ... all eventually necessitating a trip to the local supplier/pusher ("Doc").

The Witch?  She was just bringing snacks for anyone having the munchies.

Of course, George Carlin had a different take...

Quote:
The seven dwarfs were each on different little trips.  Happy was into grass and grass alone.  Happy, that's all he did.  Sleepy was into reds.  Grumpy, too much speed.  Sneezy was a full blown coke freak.  Doc was the connection.  Dopey was into everything.  Any old orifice will do for Dopey.  He's always got his arm out and his leg up.  And then, the one we always forget, because he was Bashful.  Bashful didn't use drugs.  He was paranoid on his own.  Didn't need any help up that ladder.


:wink:

there is a scene where snow white skips a step near the bottom of a staircase [accident in the animation where the original cels were missing, resulting in an abrupt gap in snow white's step motion], that sensitive people might find bothersome, but disney won't fix it because they are hidebound.

What's actually weird is that children probably watch more manga than they do Disney and boys do bad things to girls (to put it mildly).

I was thinking snow white would be a good name for a cartoon on a female drug dealer.

Don't get me started on the heteronormative racist beauty standards Snow White "Supremacist" infests children with. Also CPR is an invention of the white man - it originally stood for Consent? hah no. Permission to Rape. The only protection against CPR is a signed DNR (Do Not Rape) order. Proof of Rape Culture if ever I saw it.

Quote:
"Fairytales are the common thread throughout the fabric of childhood in the United States.  The Grimm’s Fairytales serve as the foundation to many of the stories that are common in a variety of mediums.  A survey of these re-published stories yields a distinct trend that focuses on validating women through submissive beauty while men are portrayed as active and, at times, violent.  Rather than being a mere reflection of societal ideals, these fairytales perpetuate Christian, patriarchal concepts as a means of maintaining the gender hierarchy.  An analysis of the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty illustrates the changes that fairytales undergo, the stereotypes that they perpetuate and the more subtle forms of social manipulation that they employ.  The effects of fairytales are evident in everything from studies done with children to the roles of males and females in current television programs.  Movies, and more particularly horror movies, thrive on exploiting the stereotypes that tie together sexuality and violence that children are initially exposed to through fairytales.  Fairytales have never been bedtime stories; in this day in age, they have morphed into a very effective means of exercising power over women and maintaining gender inequality."

No, you're legally covered in that case.

They are called "Implied Consent Laws", and they protect a person from civil and criminal prosecution when that person saves or attempts to save another person's life.

What I see nobody addressing is that the kiss dislodged the poisoned apple from Snow White's lips, returning her to a living condition.

Didn't you guys read/see that version?

In the context of the story, do you think Prince Charming is covered? :lol:

Given that "Once Upon a Time" was supposed to have been years before the story was first published in 1812, my unqualified legal opinion would be "Yes".

You see, under German law in the years leading up to the 19th century, princes were mostly able to freely exercise sovereign authority, provided they did not betray the Crown itself.  Thus, stealing a kiss from a sleeping woman would have been a trivial matter; and in this case, the "crime" was further mitigated by the implied consent for the prince to commit the osculatory act.
