The The Evil Queen , also known as The Evil Queen or just Queen , and sometimes even identified by its name given as Queen Grimhilde , is a fictional character that appears in the first animated film Walt Disney Pictures Snow White and Seven Dwarfs (1937) and criminal characters in Disney's Snow White franchise. He is based on the Evil Queen's character from the European fairy tale "Snow White".
In the movie, similar to the Grimm Brothers story, the Wicked Queen is cold, cruel, and very useless, and the obsession wants to remain "the fairest in the country". She became very jealous of the beauty of her step daughter, White Snow Princess, and the attention of the Prince from another country; Such love triangle elements are one of Disney's changes to the story. This led him to plan the death of Snow White and finally on the road to his own destruction, which in this film is indirectly caused by the Seven Dwarves. The movie version of the Queen's character uses her dark magical powers to truly transform herself into an old woman rather than just disguised as in the Grimms story; this appearance is often referred to as Wicked Witch or as Old Hag or just Witch . The Queen died in the movie, but lives in various non-canonical Disney works.
The movie version of the Queen was created by Walt Disney and Joe Grant, and was originally animated by Art Babbit and voiced by Lucille La Verne. The inspiration for the design comes from the Queen Hash-a-Motep character from She and Princess Kriemhild from Die Nibelungen . The Queen has been voiced by Eleanor Audley, June Foray, Janet Waldo, Eda Reiss Merin, Louise Chamis and Susanne Blakeslee, and portrayed live by Anne Francine (musicals), Jane Curtin (50th Anniversary Special TV), Olivia Wilde (< i> Disney Dream Portraits ), and Kathy Najimy ( Descendants ).
This classic fairy tale version has been well received by film and public critics, and is considered one of Disney's most iconic and threatening villains. In addition to the film, Ratu Malahat has made many appearances in Disney attractions and productions, including not only this which is directly related to the Snow White story, such as Fantasmic! The Kingdom Keepers and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep sometimes appear in it with Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. The film version of the Queen has also become a popular archetype that influenced a number of non-Disney artists and works.

In Snow White and Seven Dwarfs
Storyline
In "another country, far away," "many years ago," about the fairy tales of castles, knights, beautiful girls, romances, witches and witches, "a mysterious and beautiful lady with magical powers (1938). he was able to work his magic had sold his "own body and soul to the evil spirit" of the Harz mountains) had gained his royal position by marrying the widow king, granting his authority over his kingdom before he died. "From that time on the cruel Queen ruled alone, every word the word is law, and all tremble in fear of his anger. "The frivolous Queen has a magic mirror with which she can see whatever it is that she wants." The Magic Mirror shows the ghost, her familiar devilish smokey face that answers Queen's request. She regularly asks for the fairest mirror in the world, and the mirror will always answer that she is.
One day, however, the mirror tells him that there is the fairest new woman in the land, his 14-year-old stepchild, White Snow White. She became obsessed with the beauty of the princess, turning her into a housekeeper in her own home. After observing the handsome Prince of another kingdom singing a love song to Snow White, the proud Queen, in a jealous rage, orders her loyal Huntsman, Humbert, to take the princess deep into the forest and kill her. He was ordered to bring his heart back into the box to prove that he had done it. But Humbert can not bear to kill the young daughter because she realizes that she is resistant to danger, so she tells Snow White of the Queen's plan and tells her to escape and never returns. To avoid punishment, he returned with a pig's heart and gave it to the Queen. When she questioned her mirror, it again replied that Snow White was the fairest in the land, and that she lived in the cabin of the Seven Dwarfs, revealing that the box contained pig's heart. The Dwarf is frightened by the queen's black magic but decides to take Snow White.
Angered that Humbert deceived her, the Queen decides that the first Snow Princess will die with her own hands and at any cost. He descended the crypt into his secret room where he practiced his dark magic, complete with a pet crow who "knew all his secrets," and in desperation using a spell and a cauldron to mix the potion that turned him into a mad woman. Her beauty is shrouded in ugliness and age, though it may reverse direction. He then makes an apple of poison, which will cause "Death to Sleep", and begins to leave the castle through the moat of the boat. He was convinced that no one would know or do counter-curse on his spell, and was convinced the Dwarves would bury his rival alive, thinking he was dead. The Queen came to the hut, followed by two ferocious plowshots, and found Snow White to roast the pie to grumble the dwarf. Somehow Snow White's animal friends realized that the old lady was the Queen. After a failed attempt to warn Snow Princess by attacking the Queen, they go on to warn of the arrival of the Dwarf from the Queen. The Queen deceives the princess to let her into the hut and eat the bewitched apple, telling him that it is a magical wishing apple. Snow White bit and fell to the floor, apparently dead.
The Queen rejoiced in her victory, but was soon discovered by the angry Seven Dwarves, who took an ax and chased him deep into the forest as a great storm began. She climbs into the mountains, where she is trapped in a cliff overlooking a seemingly unfounded canyon. He tries to squeeze a large rock to destroy an approaching Dwarf. Before he can do it, lightning strikes between him and the boulder, destroying the chasm and sending the Queen (along with a large rock) down the cliff to death, screaming as he falls to the jagged rocks below (this scream has been reused in Sleeping Beauty when Maleficent was stabbed at the heart by a Truth Sword). When the dwarves were wide-eyed on the cliff, they could not see it, but the vulture descended into the abyss. The Queen's dark rule ended, and her palace was later taken over by the revived Snow Princess and the Prince who broke the spell. (A 1936 pre-release Good Housekeeping novelization by Dorothy Ann Blank, a member of the film story team, insists that the Queen actually died: "Away below, in the abyss of his own evil soul, hatred, no magic will bring it back to life. ")
Conception, design, and depiction
The initial concept for the film called for "fat, batty, cartoon type, self-satisfied" Queen. However, Walt Disney became concerned that such an approach would make the character seem less reasonable. Feeling that more time is needed for Queen's development, she suggests that attention be given exclusively to "the scene where only Snow White, the Dwarf, and their emerging bird and animal friends." Disney further develops his own main plot (Ollie Johnston says the movie's story is based on the idea that the Queen's character would kill "another image" and Disney decided to make it seem believable), finding a dilemma in the Queen's characterization, which he imagined as a mixture of Lady Macbeth and Big Bad Wolf, and decided to use a "very nice and magnificent type" that "her beauty is evil, grown up, a lot of curves - she becomes ugly and threatening when planning." According to the 1993 Disney Classics trade card series, "he's really two characters, a pretty evil queen and a very wicked wizard."
The Queen's appearance was inspired by the character of the "young ice goddess" of Queen Ayesha ("She who must be obeyed") from the 1935 movie She was played by Helen Gahagan. The Queen, originally named Grimhilde (but who never actually mentioned her name in the film), also became a model in the movie Princess Kriemhild in the 1924 film Die Nibelungen. It is also possible that the appearance of the Queen may be inspired by the faces of Joan Crawford and Gale Sondergaard; his costume and figure may be inspired by a column statue in Naumburg Cathedral depicting Uta von Ballenstedt, wife of Eckard II, Margrave of Meissen who is widely regarded as the most beautiful woman of medieval Germany. Also noteworthy is the resemblance to two American 1930 movie stars from Europe, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. Queen and Snow White are smoothed by Grim Natwick and Norm Ferguson, who often override Walt Disney's instructions. As in the case of other characters for the film, the Queen's appearance must be approved by Albert Hurter before it is completed. One pre-final version of the queen made him wear a looser hood and a different crown and the tip of his robe trimmed feathers, as can be seen in Gustaf Tenggren's photographs.
None of Babbit's artwork leads on the character's rotoscoped and the noted animator prefers to draw Queen over Snow White "as she is more real and complex as a woman, more erotic, and driven into desperate acts by her magic mirror." , however, turns out to be very problematic for the animators, for he has to be "legally beautiful, with limited but elegant movements," and his "experiments on his beautiful cruel mouth and eye represent images enough to fill the paper home." The sequence of transformation in particular is the most difficult film to visualize using deceitful effects, especially since Disney insisted to show how the Queen felt when she changed.
According to the description in his card at Disney Villains, "Wizard's wickedness symbolizes evil disguised by the Queen's beauty." The castle may have been inspired by Spain's Alcà © zar from Segovia and the throne it used to have a peacock motif to symbolize its extreme pride. The queen is mostly dressed in black and other "negative" dark colors, contrasting Snow White's brightly colored wardrobe, and has "sparkling black hair" under her hood. His royal costumes were painted with specially developed paints made to look like satin for his collar and velvet-like for his robes. The Queen's music track was created with low celio tones, bass, and bassoon; doodles in his spell book were written in Italian.
Specifically, the Queen is the first character to ever speak in feature animated films. He is voiced by Lucille La Verne, who achieved his voice change for the Wizard's role by removing his fake teeth. Joe Grant, who contributed design to his Wizard's form, noticed the attitude and posture of La Verne that changed when voicing the Queen and the Witch, and sketched these poses and body language for animated reference. He also said he was based on the concept of wizarding art on a woman living across the street from her. The foreign actress dubbing the characters include Miss Yotova in Bulgaria, Wang Jingping and Tam Suk Yin in China, Mirela Brekalo in Croatia, Ji? Ina PetrovickÃÆ'¡ in Czechoslovakia, Clara Pontoppidan, Kirsten Rolffes, Lise Ringheim in Denmark, Rauni Luoma and Seela Sella in Finland, Adrienne D'Ambricourt, Marie Francey Katy Vail and Claude Gensac in France, Dora Gerson, Gisela ReiÃÆ'Ÿmann, Gisela Fritsch, Kerstin Sanders-Dornseif, and Dagny Servaes in Germany, Antigone Glykofrydis and Eleni Zafiriou in Greece, Margit Luká¡s cs, Ilus Vay and ÃÆ'â € và S SzabÃÆ'³ in Hungary, Steinunn ÃÆ'â € Å"lÃÆ'na ÃÆ'žorsteinsdÃÆ'³ttir in Iceland, Tina Lattanzi, Benita Martini and Dina Romano in Italy, Tanie Kitabayashi and Kyoko Satomi in Japan, Blanca de CastejÃÆ'³n, Rosario MuÃÆ'  ± oz Ledo, Liza Willert and Cristina Montt, and Cecilia GÃÆ'³mez in Mexico, Tilly Perin-Bouwmeester, Ida Bons , Marlies van Alcmaer, Liz Snoijink and Marjol Flore in the Netherlands, Astrid Folstad, Christensen Chapter, and Eli An ne Linnestad in Norway, Leokadia Pancewiczowa, Seweryna BroniszÃÆ'³wna and Danuta Stenka in Poland, Florina Luican in Romania, Svetlana Smirnova and Zinaida Sharko in Russia, LucÃÆ'a Esteban in Spain, and Helena Brodin, HjÃÆ'¶rdis Petterson and Lil Terselius in Sweden.
The Queen is also the first character to face death in a Disney movie. As part of the abolition of the more horrific aspect of the original story, and to make Princess Snow seem more like a "good girl", the Evil Queen is no longer a cannibal and its destruction is made "equally sure but more compassionate" than it was in the original story. , where he was forced to dance to death in a red shoe at his feet as an invited guest at the Snow White wedding. Snow White's role in Queen's death was removed, and Queen "died faster and faster," because justice is served without resorting to murder or torture. He also invites his own downfall while pushing the big rock, and his fate is only advised rather than shown. One of the Wizard's animators was Ward Kimball, whom Walt Disney also wanted to draw two vultures who watched him fall "to make it a little easier" for him, because Kimball had been transferred after his sequence was cut from the movie, because Disney thought the additional dwarf scenes would divert attention from the "real drama" of the tension between Snow White and her evil stepmother who was supposed to move the movie.
Abandoned concept
The original outline of this story shows the Queen's attempt to kill Snow White with a poisoned comb, an element taken from the Grimms version of the story (Dwarves will arrive in time to remove it). The jealous queen will also decide to take ownership of the exciting young Snow White boss, the 18-year-old Prince (pictured in a press tool as "the dream boy of all women") for himself, offering him an opportunity to share the throne with him. through marriage. With the Prince refusing to marry her, the Queen will arrest her by her bodyguard and taken to her dungeon to be postponed with chains in the torture chamber. He will then visit him there and use his magic to mock him by bringing underground skeletons (also chained to the wall) to live and make them dance, identifying a skeleton as "Prince Oswald", only for the Prince to challenge him again. He then gave it to the torturers, described as "Nubia", and "came out with a dirty laugh."
According to the record of the production-meeting story from October 1934, "The Queen wants to marry the Prince, but she refuses to acknowledge 'that she is the fairest in this country,' because she has seen Snow White." It is written in the story notes that the Queen has supernatural powers only over her own territory, which is a castle. Other notes state about their encounters in the crypt: "This is a terrible comedy sequence - the dancing framework - a fantastic shadow - witchcraft and devilism." Prince Oswald's name is a joke reference from Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. The Queen was originally meant to have seven black beetles guarding the entrance to her secret chamber with a Mirror; a concept art of Queen walking a pet panther can be seen at The Walt Disney Family Museum and at Disney California Adventure.
Snow White Books: Magic Mirror Books and The Complete Story of Walt Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs reveals that Huntsman is afraid not to obey orders to kill Snow White because the Queen might give her eat into his panther or squeeze it magically "the size of a walnut". In one novelization of 1937, the Queen swears that Huntsman will pay handsomely for letting her stepson run away, but first she will deal with Snow White herself. In another version, Huntsman will also be dragged into the dungeon when the Queen knows that he has betrayed her, and the Queen may destroy her own Mirror in anger. Later, after transforming himself, he decides to punish the Prince for ridiculing him. He tells the Prince about his plans to make the Dwarves bury Snow White alive and then leave him to death, still chained and trapped in a dungeon filled with water to slowly drown. He then walks to the Dwarf hut with a poisoned apple, while birds and forest animals help the Prince escape from Queen's henchmen and find his horse as it will race to try and save Snow White.
The plotline described above was not used in the last film, although it was done at the drawing stage and cel, and some inspirational sketch drawings of the underground scenes were drawn by Ferdinand Hovarth. It is said that Disney "knows that the Queen should look scary without being too scary." Some frameworks are briefly displayed in the finished film in other parts of the dungeon, except in the original released version of the Australian censored theater. Similar motifs and scenes are then used in Sleeping Beauty and Aladdin . Elements of this sub-plot also get into some Disney fiction and other visitor fiction.

Comics
The 1937-1938 serial comic series "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" written by Merrill De Maris, one of the film's authors, is primarily centered around the relationship between Snow White and the Queen. Further exploring the source of the Queen's descendants became the envy of the murderer, when he learned that the Prince came to his palace looking for the most beautiful woman in the whole world and was shocked when she said she meant Snow White. As in the abandoned film concept, the Queen (here actually named Grimhilde) has been captured by the Prince. In the form of his witch, he then tells the prisoner Prince that he will get rid of Snow White and make it his own, while the Prince challenges him and calls him a "miserable" woman. This scene is followed by his escape from prison, in a less dramatic state than the concept of sinking the film. The film was also adapted into other comics including in 1969, 1983, and 1991.
There are a number of comics in the film world. One of the early comics of Pamuk Prenses ile Sevimli Prens (1942) tells of the adventures of Snow White and Prince Charming, the Witch returns for the last spell. In a 1944 sequel to the American comic, the dead Queen's castle was taken over by her elder brother, the Evil Prince. Then the comics usually feature the Queen in her Witch incarnation, often with her still trying to remove Snow White ("The Seven Dwarfs and Thumper", "No Ritmo Da Bruxa", "A MaÃÆ'§ÃÆ' £Â SuperenfeitiÃÆ'§ada", "Kerstverhaal" ) or the dwarfs ("The Enchanted Mountain", "Halloween"). Such stories include the stand-alone comic strip of Jack Bradbury in 1958 Mystery of the Lost Magic and The Snow White and Seven Dwarfs New Adventures . In the comic "The Seven Dwarfs and the Witch-Queen", the Wizard shrinks all the dwarves except Dopey who managed to save his brothers. In "A Pirate's Tale" (aka "The Pirate"), the greedy old wizard transforms himself into a mouse as he plans to steal treasure and turn the dwarf into cheese and eat it, but Dopey destroys it with a cat.
Usually under the Wizard's alias, he often comes back to interact (usually for antagonists, but sometimes also to sometimes work with the protagonist characters) with other Disney characters. He has appeared in comics April, May and June, Beagle Boys, Br'er Rabbit, Chip 'n Dale, Donald Duck & Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Jiminy Cricket, JosÃÆ'Â © Carioca, Mickey & amp; Minnie Rats, Li'l Bad Wolf, Tinker Bell, Three Little Pigs, and fellow wizards such as Mimmy Mim from the Sword in Stone, Witch Hazel from Trick or Treat and Magica De Spell (especially in Brazilian comics). He also starred in the comic book series 1970s-1980 The Big Bad Wolf & amp; The Wicked Witch, including "Mirror Mirror", "Witch Switch", "The Apple Caper", "The High-Hopping Wolf", "Double Trouble", and "Getting the Boot".
Some comics including Magicians who kidnapped other Disney characters, either became their slaves or exchanged with something, until they were saved. Examples include his kidnapping, in addition to Snow White ("Diamond Dust Dilemma", "The Weather Witch"), characters such as Chip 'n' Dale ("Witch Convention"), Tinker Bell ("Pixie Dust Dilemma" "The Big Bust-out "), and Dumbo characters (" Dumbo "." The Chips Are Flying "," A Witch in Time "). The Witch also captured Dumbo in "Dumbo l'ÃÆ' Â © chappe belle", but was defeated by Mickey and Br'er Bear and imprisoned by the Dwarves. In "The Gingerbread House", the Witch captures the Wicked Witch of the Western children, the Witch and Warlock who is assigned Magica De Spell to be guarded. Another recurring motif is the Witch's attempt to convert characters into gold, such as Pinocchio ("The Magic Brew") or all the forest animals ("Get Rich Witch"). He may also try to steal treasure, either from Dwarf ("Snow White and Seven Dwarfs", "Verjongingsdrank") or other characters ("Black Magic Menace", "Pursuit of Plunder"). In the prequel story of the Battle of Wits and Witches, the Queen turns into a mad woman to steal a diamond from the Dwarf, but is thwarted by Mickey and Goofy. He also repeatedly tries to spoil Christmas, as in "The Golden Christmas Tree", where he lures Huey, Dewey and Louie to their lair using their tears in a magic potion to destroy all the Christmas trees in the world, and in "Delivery Issues" at where he plans to put Santa Claus' deer to sleep.
In Walt Disney's Comics and Stories The Wizard Wonderful of Oz, "The Wizard of Bahs" by Vic Lockman and Strobl, the Witch unexpectedly turned into an old tree trunk by Daisy Duck while his palace turned into sand. In "The Captured Castle", the Wizard captures Cinderella's castle, and in "It's Snow Joke" he transforms the Dale snow dragon alive. In "The Magic Spell", Chip 'n' Dale stole his flying powder. The Magic Wizard's wand was obtained by Goofy in "Magic-Mender" and stolen by Big Bad Wolf in "The Magic Wand". In "The Haunted House Caper", the Witch turns Donald Duck into a ghost, the story continues on "13 Blackcat Road". At O Sindicato Das Bruxas , JosÃÆ'Â © Carioca fights against his witch syndicate. In "The Washed-up Witch", he eventually loses his power and accepts Scrooge McDuck's offer to become his personal secretary. In "The Sitter Solution", Mickey employs the Witch as a babysitter for Morty and Ferdie.
The Queen also appeared as one of the villains in the 2005 Disney manga series Kilala Princess by Rika Tanaka and Nao Kodaka, where the protagonists Rei and Kilala Reno find themselves in the Snow White world, and meet and befriend the Princess. They go to the Queen's castle to ask the Miraculous Mirror how to find Kilala's friend Erika, but finds that the Queen is still alive (and even orders two vultures, as well as wolves) as she appears and demands Kilala magical tiara. The children tried to escape but were attacked by wolves and locked up in the basement, where the Queen turned into the Witch and prepared to turn Kilala into an ugly creature. Snow White appears and agrees to sacrifice herself to save them, but Kilala stops him at the last moment before he can eat a poisoned apple; Rei then attacks the Queen, who falls into a cauldron, turns into a vulture, and flies in defeat.

Many stories, especially those featuring the Queen in her young form, were first published in the Disney Disney series, especially in Topolino. They include "The Seven Dwarfs and the Evil Witch" ( I Sette Nani e la Strega Malvagia ), "Snow White and the Broken Mirror" ( Biancaneve e lo specchio infranto ) , "The Seven Dwarfs and the Spell of the Queen", "Snow White and Castle of Four Winds" ( Biancaneve al castello dei quattro venti ), "The Seven Dwarfs and the Heroic Antieve", "The Seven Dwarfs and the Brew of the Seven Herbs" ( I Sette Nani e l'infuso delle sette erbe aka "The Seven Herbs Spell!"), "Snow White and Silver Rose" ( Biancaneve e la rosa d'argento ), and "The Seven Dwarfs and the Joker Wizard "( I Sette Nani e il mago burlone ), among others. For example, the "Snow White and the Crushed Mirror", has an old Witch, who is seriously ill, finds that she has only one day to live, but she refuses to accept her destiny. and find a way to conquer death. In the "Goofy the Magician and the Seven Dwarfs" ( Pippo mago ei Sette Nani ), the queen's four queen's beaver attacked the dwarf and stole their treasure but then decided to keep it himself and Grimhilde sought help from witch Abracadabro to stop their run; finally, the Prince who defeated the robbers. "Donald Fracasse: ( Paperin Fracassa ) is a parody of the adventure film Captain Fracasse where Snow White is blinded by the Queen and Donald Duck needs to heal her." The Queen goes to steal the stardust comet as the final material for his spell to destroy the Snow White In "The Seven Dwarfs and the Covenant of the Queen" (The Queen Dwarfs and Christmas in Danger) (he is Sette Nani e il patto della regina), he raises the demon of Shadow Lord Oren and makes a covenant with him to take the soul of Snow White, again trying to remove Snow White with the help of seven evil dwarves, but in doing so he burns finally burns all his vital energy and Oren takes him with him. "The Seven Dwarfs and the Christmas Fairy" presents the scenario in which the Queen successfully throws the charm forever-sleeping on Snow White, but when trying to zap Dopey he accidentally fell victim to his own magic and Christmas elf, freed from prison, saves Snow White.In the Italian comics, Queen usually red robes. He is also often shown using crystal balls to spy on good characters.
Many of Topolino's Snow White comics are by Romano Scarpa. His comic in 1986 entitled "The Seven Dwarfs and King Arbor's Crystal" ( I Sette Nani e il cristallo in Re Arbor ) gives an explanation of how the Queen will survive from his apparent death in the film (like several branches and bushes -days) defuse the fall and he is saved by his faithful bodyguard) and why he can not change back to his normal self (because his castle is burnt by Huntsman and his magic book is gone). In this story, Grimhilde (Grimilde) raises his great admirer's aid and former violator, the evil Vegetable Soul King, in a plan to use a magical crystal device to exchange his old body with Snow White. This intrusion was thwarted by the dwarves that destroyed the crystals, and Arbor's resignation allowed the Witch to stay with her, saying she would try to remember him is "the most beautiful among the queens". The uncomfortable relationship between Grimhilde and Abor continues in the comic "The Seven Dwarfs and the Fountainhead" ( I Sette nani e la fonte meravigliosa ), where he desperately tries to regain his teenage years, but instead only turned into a small child's version of the Wizard's form for a short time.
Another comic by Romano Scarpa has Queen in her youthful form. In three parts "Snow White and Green Fire" ( Biancaneve e verde fiamma ), the Queen flies over a broomstick to a large gathering of magicians, stating that her inability to deal only with little girls and some dwarves has embarrassed they are all and he should be punished for this according to the law of Hell. The Queen begs the Higher Witch for mercy and is given a wand with the power of transformation, but if she does not succeed this time she will turn into a magic broom for a more "respectable" wizard to fly. The Queen uses a wand to gain the trust of the Snow Princess and make her a statue, rather than taking the princess's shape to ambush the dwarves and do the same with them, and wait for the Prince to kill her. Only Dopey escaped and finally managed to outwit the Queen, using her desire to return her friends and turn her into a statue, which later turned into a broom when her punishment was carried away. In the "The Seven Dwarfs and the Throne of Diamonds", Jiminy Cricket is deeply captivated by the Queen's beauty and tries to convince her to be good, but the Queen refuses to be redeemed and ordered his soldiers to steal the throne set by the Dwarves for Snow White in a plot to turn his rival into an old lady. Eventually, the Queen was defeated by another witch Tardona and Snow White was rescued. "Snow White and Chained Fairy", saw the dwarves struggling to free the fairy fawn captured by the Queen in an underground cave to rescue Snow White when Grimhilde flew to throw the princess with a thunderbolt. He took many forms of trying to thwart him in various ways, and one-by-one dwarves sacrificed their lives, until only Dopey remained but he managed to get the magical water that brought back all of them to life. The liberated fairy magic makes the cave collapse over the helpless Queen to make sure she will never hurt anyone again. In the "The Seven Dwarfs and the Birtch Ring" ( I Sette Nani e l'anello di betula by Romano Scarpa), the Queen learns of the eight Dwarfs named Ginger (Zenzero), who have left friends for went looking for luck traveling around the world, and turned into a fairy named Fagottina to send him home and sow discord among his brothers. The Queen also turned into a fairy, named Fogliolina, in "Snow White and Easter in the Forest" ( Biancaneve e la Pasqua nel bosco ), where, after his attempt to kill Snow White with magic foiled by the creatures forest, he was so angry that he summoned the powers of hell to "take him" and his castle burned and collapsed around him. In "The Seven Dwarfs and the Wolf's Cliff", he sent three of his bandits (Bragia, Sghembo and Schidione) to kidnap Snow White. "Snow White and the Cursed Dress" ( Biancaneve e l'abito stregato ) has a Queen who miraculously disguises herself as an old gypsy to give Snow Princess a cursed dress and catch her, then start her work in a spell to get rid of the dwarf and all the forest creatures. But Dopey infiltrated his castle, liberated Snow White, and locked the Queen in his burning laboratory, after the entire castle was consumed by fire and exploded after the dwarves and princess fled.
Theater events
As in the movie, the Queen's character is featured in the 1979 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs music version, played by Anne Francine. In the re-show of Disney on Ice in 1986-1987, and then in 1994-1997 and again in 2000-2001, he was voiced by Louise Chamis and played by various skaters that started with Melanie Scott in 1986-1987, and included Elena.

In night fireworks and fantasmic visual hydroteknik show! , first played in 1992, the Queen, voiced by Louise Chamis, is the main villain and leader of all the Villains of Disney. He was introduced in the second half, when his Miraculous Mirror (voiced by Tony Jay) told him that now there are three princesses (Snow White, Ariel and Belle) fairer than him. Enraged, the Queen transforms herself into a mad woman and uses a Mirror and a cauldron to summon "all the forces of evil" in the form of a collection of Disney villains to come to her aid. They include Maleficent, which turned into a dragon. (In Tokyo DisneySea version, he also traps Mickey in his mirror.) At the peak of the show, Mickey is able to defeat the dragon and conquer all the criminals with a magical sword. The Witch is the last to die, turns back to Queen Seon Deok before he is destroyed.
In the Disney Dream Villages show Villains Tonight! , first played in 2010, Hades summoned Disney's most powerful villain to regain his crime.

The Queen claims not to be Hades' girlfriend, but they only have an "exciting weekend" at Castaway Cay. In the end, the Queen and Maleficent put aside their differences because all the criminals must unite and advise Hades to find the evil within him, and not from the others.

In Once Upon a Time
An almost entirely alternative take on Evil Queen's character is Regina Mills, the main antagonist in the first season of the ABC 2011 live-action series Once Upon a Time where she is played by Lana Parrilla. Regina is the mayor of the dream town of Storybrooke, Maine, but secretly is the legend of the Crime Queen, who has cursed many of the beloved storytelling characters to live on the land without magic, where they will never get their happy ending. The show is not directly based on the Disney animated film, but is inspired by them and makes many references to them. One episode is titled "The Evil Queen".
Reception
Critical reception and popularity
The Disney version of the character was well received by film critics, even when some people were distracted (Dorothy Kilgallen's columnist for example urged Disney not to make future criminals as scary as the Witch). Stephen Hunter puts him "cool" among "the incredible truth about Snow White ." Janet Maslin wrote Snow White's movie "only there to be sacrificed by her evil stepmother - a much more interesting character." The evil Queen image (originally conceived as a raven-haired glamorous girl, and the epitome of sophistication of the late 1930s) and then shrinks, removes warts and claws, spins in front of our eyes from sexy creatures, excites into frightening old grandmothers, must leave a strong impression on the audience as Snow White's cheerful femininity. "Similarly, Roger Ebert wrote Snow White and the Seven Dwarves are "not so much about Snow White as about the Seven Dwarves and the Evil Queen," argues this is the reason why it remained "the most important" animated work "in 2001, and was not forgotten soon after the premiere on year 1937.
The academic feminism of Camille Paglia says that she had been transfixed by this "temperamental bitch", in contrast to the ideal of womanhood that she had presented as a child: "Mary, this silent mother, and here is the queen wizard who has a strange dialogue in the mirror and it does not have to be a charity and it does not have to be fun.I think he's amazing. "Likewise, Lana Parrilla, who later plays Evil Queen at Once Upon A Time, says that every time she watches Disney Snow White as a young girl she supports and "loves the evil queen - whenever the evil queen comes, I'm like 'OK!' He is very interesting to me. "Author Deborah Lipp writes:" As I have said before and will no doubt say again, given the option of being Snow White (helpless, sweet, noiseless) and the Evil Queen, with cool and magical castles as well as his accomplices, give me my Miraculous Mirror now! "Film director John Waters says he is also rooted in the evil queen to win, and Chay Yew says that if he is a Disney character he will be the evil queen of Snow White .
Adam Horowitz said that his earliest Disney memory was to see a re-release of Disney's Snow White when he was "frowned by Evil Queen while also can not turn away and that stick with me for years. "Similarly, fashion designer and collaborator Angelina Jolie Stella McCartney says:" My favorite Disney movie is Snow White. I remember growing up watching it and was really frightened by the scene where the evil queen became an old witch and she made an apple of poison. "Filmmaker and actor Terry Gilliam lists the Queen of Film among his eight favorite criminals, commenting how" really strange "is that" pride and beauty are what he has, yet the identity he assumes when he becomes the most practical old beggar lady ugly. throughout the kingdom. "Lecturer Dong Fair Jack Zipes says that" it's a bit weird that the queen believes in a mirror, because the Snow White image reveals that she is a pretty fair-eyed red-eyed girl while the queen is a gorgeous gorgeous beautiful lady who might easily win a beauty contest. "
Jim Lentz, Director of Art of Animation at Heritage Auctions, said in 2015: "The Evil Queen is, to this day, one of the big villains in the cinema, and he is in a very scary position when he becomes Old Hag and goes to destroy Snow White. "According to filmmaker and actor Brad Bird, in 1937" they had to re-coat seats in a huge movie palace in New York because little kids pee in chairs when magicians enter at Snow White. >. "The Queen was ranked tenth on the 2003 US Film list of the 50 Best Movies of All Time, becoming the highest-ranking animated villain. When Walt Disney Parks and Resorts held their 2011 Disney Villains popularity poll for the Wicked Gooey Apple Awards (named after the Queen apple venom), the Queen of Devils came first and won in three of five categories: "Sinister Stylings" (for the most fashionable villains) , "The Curse! Foiled Again!" (for criminals who receive the best award), and the last "Not Fair of All They" (for the most evil villains). Jeff Kurtti's 2005 book Disney Villains: The Top Secret Files places him as "the greatest villain of them all".
In 2013, Queen was among the 20 scary children's film characters by Digital Spy, commenting that "Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron may have stabbed this role in two competing 2012 films, but they can not get anywhere near Disney's evil Disney's creepiness, "as well as among the ten most scariest Disney villains of all time by entertainment.ie. In 2014, E! puts the rank of "responsible head bitch" as Disney's seventh culprit, while WatchMojo.com puts him as the ninth animated Disney rogue and the fifth largest female movie villain of all time. Nerdist placed Villainesses Disney "starting in 1937 with Evil Queen" at the top position in the 2015 ranking of female criminals "the worst" in pop culture, while the Gay Times ranks third among the "top" "and MTV listed him as one of nine Disney Criminals who are" much better than good guys. "That same year, Moviepilot put it among the most frightening and wicked seven Villains of Disney as" she is probably the prettiest woman on the list, but unfortunately, the beautiful facade is covering a bad and evil soul, "while Gulf News ranked it as the largest Disney Villain second, commented he "still stands today - 78 years after the release of the first film," as the most evil personality Disney has ever created.Gaptiepilot also proposes "Disney can give evil treatment to Snow White and create a version that tells the story through the perspective of Evil Queen , "which suggests he should be played by Megan Fox.In 2016, The Frisky describes himself and Maleficent as" the two most respected female criminals in film history. "
Cultural impact
According to Maria Tatar, an academic specializing in children's literature, the film transformed the "evil queen into an enchanting narrative energy figure and made Snow Princess [character] so dull that she needed seven supporters to enliven the scene. disturbing, disruptive and divisive that invests in a movie of interest that has facilitated widespread circulation and which has enabled it to take strong control in our own culture. "Alan Charles Kors and Edward Peter praised the Queen's influence in changing the image popular visuals of magicians in movies and other fiction especially women, more often young and interesting than old and ugly, and dressed in very distinctive costumes. Part of Maila Nurmi's inspiration for the Vampira character comes from Nurmi who was fascinated by the Queen after watching Disney Snow White at the age of 14. When he played for 1939 The Wizard of Oz as the Wicked Witch of the West, Gale Sondergaard (who had previously served as one of Disney's inspiration) insisted on playing a glamorous vision of character, similar to Disney's interpretation of the Queen from Snow White ; when Sondergaard's idea was denied by producers Mervyn LeRoy and Arthur Freed to make Wicked Witch ugly, he withdrew from the project and selected Margaret Hamilton instead. However, the similarities between the two films, including the depictions on the characters of each wizard, are such that The Wizard of Oz at one point is advertised as " Snow White with live actors."
The queen inspired the main antagonist character in unrelated titles, such as the step queen in the Russian animated film The Wild Swans (1962), The Witch's Queen in the Spanish film Tom Thumb and the Little Red Riding Hood > (1962), Venus goddess in anime version Unico , Queen Admira in the American movie The Hugga Bunch (1985), and witch queen in video game Enchantia Curse (1992). Lady Macbeth in Orson Welles' 1948 Macbeth resembles the Queen in her costume, makeup, and even the way of her death; Lady Macbeth was also visually based on the Queen in a comic adaptation of 1982. The evil Queen Bavmorda of the 1988 film Willow has a similar likeness, so the editor of Cinefantastique Frederick S. Clarke described it as " â € Å"has just Snow Whiteâ € The Evil Queen figure, right down to the hooded costume. "Robin Wood has drawn a connection between the Sorcerer's and Emperor's appearance in the Star Wars franchise (which eventually became a Disney property.) According to designer Steve Brown, the Queen's Wizard's form serves as an inspiration to the main character of the Queen's Witch in his 1985 video game Cauldron Brigitte Nielsen said he also based his role as Black Witch (who also kidnapped a prince character for being jealous of a princess) in the 1992 Italian film FantaghirÃÆ'Â 2 in Disney's "Grimilde" (Italian name) for Queen in comics).
A Disney.com official blog Oh My Disney states that Evil Queen has become a "genuine Disney villain, and we're really not exaggerating." According to the The Daily Telegraph , La Verne's role as Queen "is credited as a model for future criminals like Ursula in The Little Mermaid (1989) and Scar in
The Queen's character design of the film is also used in several other Snow White adaptations, such as for the Queen in the Turkish film Pamuk Prenses ve Yedi CÃÆ'¼celer (1970). The Dragon Queen in the Italian erotic comic book Biancaneve was initially loosely based on the Disney version, such as the Snow White character. The character of Susan Sarand of Queen Narissa at Disney itself Enchanted (2007), has her characteristic, strength, and physical features inspired by the Queen of the film and by Maleficent of Sleeping Beauty. At the start of the project, Enchanted should actually be a live animated sequel to Disney
