Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Most of the heroes in Disney movies are good-natured, but Snow White seems by far the most courteous and gentle of them all. She cares for a small bird separated from its mother, cleans the dwarfs house before she even meets them, and becomes hospitable even to the witch, who's pretty much as evil as they come. I don't think Snow White has a single mischievous bone in her body. She's so honest and polite its sometimes to a fault, but thats part of her charm.

The evil queen is the kind of villain other villains would look up to (or down to?). Extremely vain and menacing, all she cares about is to be the prettiest one in the world. She doesn't even hesitate to order the woodsman to dispatch Snow White and bring back her heart. Even I was a bit terrified of her threatening gaze at a few points.

The mirror is another obedient servant to the queen, with mysterious origin. Its animation is rather creepy, being just a floating mask surrounded by smoke. I assume that it has unlimited knowledge since it knows where Snow White is and that she's the fairest. But its pretty clear that this enchanted item is intended for evil, as it shows no remorse in aiding the evil queen.

Although the story of Snow White has been told throughout centuries, I think this is the first time the dwarfs were named and given distinctive personalities. They make fun of each other because of their quirks, but they have a strong friendship because they each know they aren't perfect themselves. (Maybe they were part of a bigger dwarf community?)

Doc is leader of the dwarfs, but isn't afraid to act as goofy as the rest of them. He's the only one that doesn't have an adjective for a name, but he's not without his own quirk. His biggest issue is tangling words together, especially when he's frustrated. This sometimes makes his suggestions less effective, but the others look up to him anyway.

Sleepy, along with Bashful, is pretty quiet and has very few lines in the movie. Instead he has a little fly sidekick that insists on bugging him. Other than that, he's pretty laid back. Also, Sleepy might be brilliant since he's the only dwarf that considered that the animals were warning them about Snow White instead of just acting up.

Happy is the eternal optimist, like a little santa claus. Bashful is always embarrassed about something. Except for Dopey, these two strive the most for Snow White's attention by trying to be as sweet as possible. Their quirks seem the most subtle and harmless. btw If you have trouble distinguishing Bashful from Sneezy, Bashful has bigger eyes, a longer beard and a green hat instead of brown.

Sneezy and Dopey aren't too bright but provide comic relief to the bunch. Sneezy literally explodes with wind every sneeze, sending the dwarfs flying. And Dopey is usually off in his own little world, rarely letting reality bother him. I like how they show a neat bond between the two, maybe because they get singled out more than the rest.

Not much is known about him, other than he's a servant of the queen. I wonder how the king died, because he sure isn't around. Anyway ... he's probably pretty selfish, but not a murderer. Hence, he isn't able to kill Snow White and instead tells her to run away into the woods. ...

This is the prince that falls in love with Snow White at first sight (or more accurately, first sound). Snow White is enamored by him, but runs away because she's embarrassed about the rags she's wearing. Since she escapes from the hunter into the forest, he probably had no idea where she went, but he searched endlessly for her. Fortunately he heard the news of a maiden in a glass coffin, and appeared to finally break the curse.
