    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.

    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.
