The Fairest of Them All

The Evil Queen was featured in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  She is the very first villain in a Disney princess film!  Fun fact, her name is said to be Queen Grimhilde.  With a name like that, how do you expect your kid to be anything but evil.  If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "An Apple a Day."

Pros:
- Strong: She is a strong female character (like many villains within Disney movies), regardless of if she is evil or not.
- Powerful: She is capable of manipulating Snow White as well as transforming herself into an old woman.  That takes a lot of power and a lot of guts.

Cons:
- Manipulative:  She manipulates Snow White and takes advantage of her kindness to kill her with the innocence of an apple.
- Jealous: Her only reasoning behind killing Snow White is that she is simply more beautiful than her.  I personally think the Evil Queen is a lot farther down the list of "the fairest of them all" than second to Snow White, but whatever.
- Murderous Tendencies: She simply wants Snow White dead and if that isn't bad enough, she makes somebody else do it for her.  Luckily he fails and she has to do it herself and look how that worked out. It's nothing we can look past right?... Right?

The Evil Queen isn't a very developed character throughout Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  None of the characters truly were at this point at Disney Studios.  I'm hoping her reasoning behind killing Snow White has a little bit more behind it, but I suppose we'll never know.

If you aren't satisfied with this story of Snow White, I would highly recommend Once Upon a Time on ABC.  It gives all the characters a nice background and makes them all a little less shallow and a lot more real.
