Original subtitles

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful kingdom

ruled by a virtuous queen and king.

More than anything, they wished for a child.

One winter's night, a blizzard swept through their land,

blotting out the kingdom in a bitter storm of snow and ice,

but leaving them a most precious gift.

- A princess was born.

To honor the night she arrived,

her parents named the girl Snow White.

As she grew, the king and queen taught Snow White

that the bounty of the land belonged to all who tended it.

They showed her how to rule with love.

For someday, her destiny would be to lead.

Go on.

Hi.

The king and queen watched with pride

as Snow White grew into a kind and fair young princess.

But then, tragedy struck.

Snow White's mother fell ill.

And the Good Queen died.

Snow White and the king were heartbroken.

Until...

an enchanting woman from a far-off land appeared at the palace.

So great was her beauty that it seemed

to grant her powers beyond the ordinary.

She married the king,

but she was not what she appeared.

She was evil

and cared only about her own beauty

and the power it granted.

To protect that power,

she kept a magic mirror

which could answer but one simple question.

Magic Mirror on the wall,

who is the fairest of them all?

You, my Queen,

of all the women reckoned fair,

your beauty is beyond compare.

The new queen wasted no time seizing power.

She warned of a terrible threat from beyond the Southern Kingdom.

So the Good King swore to defend his people.

But the king did not return.

Fear gripped the kingdom.

And the queen's power grew.

She turned the farmers into soldiers

loyal only to her,

and robbed the riches of the kingdom for herself.

She made Snow White a servant

and locked her away behind the castle walls.

But as long as the mirror answered the queen each day that she was the fairest,

Snow White remained safe from the queen's cruel jealousy.

As the years passed,

the people nearly forgot

there ever was a princess named Snow White.

And in truth,

Snow White nearly forgot herself.

Hello?

I'm sorry.

Is there something I can help you with?

That's okay. Just browsing.

Well, I'm going to have to ask you to put those back.

I would, but it seems like the queen has plenty already.

Oh, I see. So that's your excuse for stealing?

My friends are hungry. I'm hungry. That's my excuse.

Maybe I can speak with the queen.

You really think the people upstairs want to share with people like us?

Well, the princess would.

Snow White.

Snow White hasn't been seen or heard from in many years.

I doubt she'll be of any help to anyone.

All she does is think of how to help her people.

Well, then you should let her know, at some point,

it might be useful for her to stop thinking.

Maybe start doing.

There's an intruder in the castle. Seal the doors!

Take some for yourself.

And share the rest with your princess.

Maybe no one else has even told her.

I'm sure if the queen was aware of how desperate things have gotten,

she would be happy to share.

I at least have to try,

even if it is just a wish.

Wish... Wish...

Wish...

Snow White, have you finished your chores?

Yes, Your Majesty.

It's important we all do our share.

Well, that's what I came to speak to you about, actually.

Sharing.

Please.

You were saying?

It's just...

Your Majesty,

people are struggling, and it may not be much,

but when I was young, my parents and I would pick apples.

We'd take them and make pies,

- then go out into the village... - Pies?

Pies are luxuries. They don't need luxuries.

It confuses them.

But sometimes something small, something sweet even,

can make you believe that there's more to being alive than mere subsistence.

You know, I really don't remember you being this...

opinionated.

My apologies. It's just...

I feel they need some kindness.

"Fearless, fair, brave, true."

How quaint.

One day, you'll understand how useless those words are.

But in the meantime,

here's a tidbit for you.

Observe.

Ravishing, isn't it?

Yes, Your Majesty.

One is weak, useless, fragile.

The other hard, unyielding,

everlasting, flawless,

beautiful.

My subjects don't want a flower.

They want a diamond.

- Your Highness... - Get your hands off me!

...this criminal was caught in the scullery pilfering royal supplies.

That's a lie.

Are you one of the bandits

that gather in the forest stealing in the name of the king?

No, no, Your Majesty.

Not "one of the bandits." I'm the boss.

Loyal to the one true king.

Find his home and burn it to the ground.

Funny thing is,

I don't actually have a home.

Then take him to the dungeon.

- Fill the castle with his cries. - Your Majesty...

I understand the need for justice.

But please, this isn't fair.

What did you say?

The punishment must not exceed the crime,

- and I know my father would... - Your father?

Your father?

My father would show mercy.

I'm sorry, my dear. You're right.

This thief stole from me.

So, I will steal from him.

Remove his coat and boots and bind him to the gates to freeze.

You know, is the dungeon still an option?

Take him away!

Wait, he'll perish. Please, Your Majesty.

Snow White!

Here...

look at yourself.

Isn't this what you want?

Go on,

speak to your people.

Your subjects await you, Snow White.

Your pies and your wise words.

What will you tell them, hmm?

That you've made them dessert?

You live in a world of wishes.

Go back to your well, Snow White.

Come on! Move it!

Move!

Shut up!

It isn't much, but...

Tell me what it's like out there.

Why don't you come and find out?

I can't.

I saw you give it to the queen back there.

You seem brave enough.

Brave?

You have to go. Run.

- Thank you. - Go.

Magic Mirror on the wall,

who is the fairest of them all?

Famed is thy beauty, Majesty.

But wait,

a lovely maiden I now behold

awakened to the world.

Nothing can hide her gentle grace,

for I see

she is more fair than thee.

No!

Huntsman?

Your Majesty.

Take Snow White far into the forest.

Find a secluded glade where she can pick apples,

and there,

my faithful Huntsman,

kill her.

But,

Majesty,

she's just a girl.

And I'm your queen.

It was Snow White who set the bandit free.

She's plotting against me.

Now, tell me,

are you against me, too?

- Are you? Yes or no?

No,

Majesty.

Take her to the forest.

Kill her.

Cut out her heart.

Put it in this box.

On your return,

you will have anything your heart desires.

Would you like one?

You're very kind.

It's getting late.

Why?

Why?

You must flee into the woods.

The queen is mad. She'll stop at nothing.

I can't leave the kingdom.

She is evil, child.

She's a liar.

You were never told the truth about your father.

Go!

- But what about my father? - Go. Please!

Before I change my mind!

Go!

Hello?

Is there anybody here?

- Oh, my! - Gesundheit.

Why, thank you.

Hello?

- Easy with that door, Doc.

Home sweet home.

It is indeed exceptional to be back at our place of habitation.

Is it me or is it dusty in here?

- It's you.

- Can't wait to floss.

It's a... It's a...

It's a...

What?

He did it again.

Narcoleptic cataplexy.

I thought he just...

fell asleep when he was worried.

What's there to be worried about?

- Time to worry!

Barricade the door!

Guys, where's Dopey?

Don't move.

Ogres smell fear.

It's not an ogre. It's a phantasm.

Should he crouch and hide?

Or make himself big and roar?

Depends what kind of ogre.

It's not an ogre!

It's a demon goat.

Don't look it in the eyes.

If you see ectoplasm,

- don't touch it. - Is it floating?

Be careful, Dopey.

Don't be afraid.

It's all right.

I only wanted to meet you.

What's your name?

Don't you speak?

Let's take back our friend!

Wait, wait. Please.

- Why... - It's a human.

Well, yes. What did you think I was?

- Nothing. - Ghost.

- But where did you come from? - Are you hungry?

Can we be friends?

What's your name?

Why is everyone being so cordial?

The only human things that come into the forest anymore are bandits

- who claim to fight in the king's name. - What?

You're in trouble with the law, aren't ya?

Hmm?

- I'd better go. - Told ya.

- No, no, no. Wait, wait. Hold on. - Let her leave.

Well, at least tell us who you are.

- Yeah. - Yes.

My name is Snow White.

- Snow White? - The princess?

I say it's a trap.

But she needs our help.

- Anyone still think she's a ghost? - Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?

As far away from the castle as possible.

- That's not good enough. - But why?

The truth is, the queen tried to kill me.

- She really tried to kill you?

Well, that's terrible.

It's also exactly why you have to leave.

You should stay here until you figure out where you're gonna go.

- What? - I think that's a wonderful idea.

Now, hold on.

A human shows up in this cottage for the first time

in 275 years

and you ask her to stay?

Did he just say

275 years?

274, to be precise.

We're as old as the trees.

My parents always said this forest was a magical place.

And I've always said that humans cause nothing but trouble.

I'm sorry. I don't know your name.

Allow me to introduce in alphabetical order.

Bashful. Dopey.

Grumpy. Happy.

Sleepy. Sneezy.

And I'm Doc.

You said we were doing reverse alphabetical order this time.

That was last time.

So, in reverse order,

it's Sneezy, Sleepy, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc, and Bashful.

Well, I'll be.

How did she do that?

My mother always taught me that it was important to learn a name.

Well, in order of the longest toes to the shortest toes,

I have the longest toes.

If that helps.

And what exactly do you do out here in the forest?

Oh. Well, it's our job to mine the mines.

You'd be amazed at what you can find.

Sparkling rocks of every kind.

A place where magic still abides.

Not for long if she resides!

Look at the time.

The important thing is that Snow White is out of harm's way at our address.

- Right, fellas? - Yeah.

- Absolutely. - Objection.

- Noted. Just ignore him.

Maybe I'll just stay for one night.

One night. Then she leaves.

- You can come here. - What size are your slippers?

- I love slumber parties. - We got some spare upstairs.

You'll be safe from the queen here.

Magic Mirror on the wall,

who's the fairest one of all?

Far beyond the castle wall,

somewhere in the woods dwells

Snow White,

fairest one of all.

No.

I am only bound by what is true.

The fairest lives.

She is not you.

You dare to disobey me?

I don't deserve mercy.

But if there's a drop of it in your heart,

I beseech you,

show it to her.

Captain, search the forest.

Find Snow White

and don't come back without her.

- It's not fair.

It's the morning, and she's still here.

They'll come looking for her,

and when they find her...

What do you have to say about that?

- Now, Grumpy, you know Dopey doesn't talk.

Because he's a dope!

Just because his name is Dopey

doesn't mean he's actually a dope.

Of course that's the reason.

Same as how you're called Happy because you're happy.

And I'm called Grumpy because I'm... I'm...

misunderstood.

- Ow!

Shish kebabs!

- Huh?

Here you go.

Hey!

Guys, let's all just try to be friends.

- Ow. Stop.

Hey! Yippee ki-yay!

- You're toast, mister! - Aha!

Come here!

Settle down.

I'm gonna get your long toe!

Grumpy, that tickles!

Oh...

- Oh, my foot! - Huh?

Oh, no!

- Pepper!

- He's gonna blow.

Achoo!

Dopey,

breakfast is supposed to go in your mouth.

Not on your head!

Isn't life gruel?

You get it? Gruel!

Are you all right?

Makes you want to run and hide.

Are you afraid to speak?

Oh.

Well, then, maybe we can start with something small.

When I was a little girl, my mother taught me how to whistle.

So, even when I'm afraid to speak, I whistle.

Because when you whistle, it's your heart singing.

And that voice,

the one that's hidden in your heart,

can be heard.

See? Now you try.

Well, just enough to make a candle flicker.

Not go out.

You did it.

I knew you could.

Come on.

Hey! Come here.

Give it back!

- I got it.

What's that divine and ravishing noise?

Did a songbird come through a window?

It's Dopey.

He sounds like a baby angel.

It's a trick.

It's not a trick.

How are you doing that?

Well, you put your lips together,

place your tongue behind your teeth and whistle.

That's easy.

Is this normal, or just something you do among friends?

We're not friends.

275 years is a long time to argue.

274.

Leave me out of it.

- I'm the only sensible one here. - Oh.

And you feel like they're not listening to sense?

Correct.

I take your point, Mr. Grumpy.

You... Wait.

What?

Well, it seems to me that everyone here

could do a much better job at listening to one another.

I was thinking the same thing.

Hey.

Uh, Miss White, I wouldn't look in there if I...

She's really making herself at home.

I don't remember those.

Now you wash the dishes.

You tidy up the room.

- Okay. - Come on.

You clean those cobwebs.

And he'll use

the broom.

Me?

- You'll get it.

I'll take it!

Look at Dopey!

I forgot getting along could be so much fun.

I forgot we had an oven in here.

Well, when I was a little girl, every day was like this.

Every day?

Every day.

When my father was king.

Oh.

The Huntsman said the queen lied about my father.

She lied about everything.

What if he's still alive?

I have to find him.

You said that there were bandits in the forest

who claimed to fight in the king's name.

Human criminals.

Those rebels are nothing but thieves.

They're actually a band of erstwhile actors

whose sustenance was made unstable

by the queen's greedy economic policies

which forced them into a liminal space

where ethics and motives are ill-defined.

Well, where are they?

If they know the truth about my father, I need to find them.

Oh, no. I advise against it.

It's too dangerous.

Stay with me.

I mean, us.

Yeah. You barely got away from the queen the last time.

Gesundheit.

But this is what I have to do.

Besides, Grumpy's right.

The longer I stay here with you, the more danger I put you in.

At last.

- Goodbye. - Grumpy!

No.

It's time for me to stop hiding.

Thank you all for showing me such kindness.

No, wait a minute.

Even you, Grumpy.

Now,

can you point me in the right direction?

- We're late for work!

Come on, everybody. I need you to...

I'll get the snacks.

Come on, Sleepy. Hello?

Don't say a word.

You.

If we go this way, we'll link up with the other riders.

And when I told you to come see what it was like out here,

didn't expect you to bring half the palace guards with you.

I didn't exactly invite them.

I had no choice but to run.

The queen wants me dead.

Come on.

I'm actually looking for my father.

I was hoping you might be able to help me.

You're loyal to the one true king.

Right.

Absolutely.

We, uh...

We hear rumors, whispers.

Some people say he was taken prisoner in the Southern Kingdom, but...

You have no idea where he is.

I'm so sorry to disappoint.

You must have mistaken me for a knight in shining armor.

I don't think anyone's making that mistake.

I was hoping you might know something.

Oh, of course.

Princesses are always waiting for a prince to show up or a king to come back.

My father is the only person who can restore this kingdom to what it once was.

A little late for that, I'm afraid.

Obviously, you've forgotten how things used to be,

when people were kind and fair.

I wish I had time for things like

kindness and fairness.

Only problem is...

So you've moved on from potatoes?

I have many talents.

Do not move, milady.

You're in the presence of the rebel Quigg, master of the crossbow.

Hands up!

Step away from our captain.

And no harm will come to you.

You don't have a crossbow.

- It was stolen. - It's okay.

She's with me.

Captain?

And my associates.

Loyal to the king?

You're just a common criminal.

My name's Jonathan, Princess.

Not "Jonathan Princess."

Just "Jonathan..."

Princess.

Look...

- Whoa!

It's the palace guards.

Two soldiers for every one of us.

We are searching for the Princess Snow White.

You have to run, Princess.

What about all of you?

Don't worry about us. We'll hold them off.

- I'll fight with you. - I'm not asking.

I'm making it a fair fight.

Yeah, the thing is, I don't fight fair.

Don't shoot!

We can tell you where the princess is.

- Now.

I can't leave.

I'm going to need your help.

Last chance, bandits.

Tell us what you know of Snow White.

You seek Snow White?

I'm over here.

This way.

- Go! - Move!

Spread out!

Spread out. Find them.

Yes, sir!

Where's my horse?

Go, go.

You came back.

Someone had to solve your princess problem.

I told you I'd fight with you.

- I guess you meant it. - I guess so.

You continue to impress me.

Oh, thank you.

Compliment like that coming from a criminal mastermind like yourself.

Make sure we lost them.

The people,

they've forgotten how it used to be.

And they despise the queen. But they're afraid.

That's why we fight in your father's name.

Your parents weren't afraid of anything.

They made us all feel a little braver.

They gave everyone hope.

Now, we'll cut through to the glen a mile south.

We need to cover our tracks.

- Jonathan? - What was that?

- Oh, no.

I think we have a bit of a problem, Princess.

He's going to need a doctor.

Doc is more of a sobriquet rather than a technical title

as my true expertise lies

in the study of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic granules.

You know, rocks.

- Oh!

I am the rebel Quigg,

master of the crossbow,

and I'm ordering you to save him.

- Oh, we haven't even been introduced yet.

- In alphabetical order... - Doc, please, we don't have time.

He's badly injured. You have to help.

But they're bandits!

- What are you gonna do about it? - Come here, you.

This is exactly how the queen would want us to behave.

Fighting with each other,

distrusting each other. This is how she wins!

She's poisoned everyone into believing that it's everyone for themselves.

But if...

we can give up our meager scraps,

we will inherit what was meant for all of us.

And it's more than any of us can imagine.

It just...

requires faith in each other.

Mmm.

Now help him.

Please.

Hmm.

Bring him inside.

Hot milk.

It helps me sleep.

Thank you.

I used the blast furnace to cut through the bedrock,

then drilled to the fissure core,

added a poultice or two.

A dose of acetum saturninum,

acid of sulfur dulcified.

Uh...

- Oh, oh! - That was...

Huh.

- ...unpleasant. - You did it, Doc.

I thought he was dead.

- Hey.

- Thank you, Doc. - Of course.

I would do anything for Snow White's special friend.

- Ooh! You got a special friend. - Oh, no.

- No. - Oh.

- No. No. - What?

- I would have brought anyone here to... - Exactly.

Run-of-the-mill kindness.

It's nothing to do with you.

- Awkward. - Oh, isn't this just wonderful?

You know what time it is, fellas?

- Please, no. - What time is it?

It's time to dance.

Yeah!

- Ah, achoo!

Yeah! Woo-hoo!

- Hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

You want to play cards?

No, thank you.

What about you? Do you wanna play?

You and Maple are fine dancers.

Ah.

We're just friends.

Right.

You know, like you and Jonathan.

I'm pretty sure Jonathan only cares about himself.

Is that why he took an arrow for ya?

What?

We all saw it.

That selfish, no-good thief?

He saved your life.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Soldiers.

- Oh, no. - We have to leave.

- To protect the princess. - Yes, Captain.

Achoo!

I can't let the queen's guard find this place.

- I'm coming with you. - No.

It's too dangerous. You're the one they're looking for.

I'll be back in two days.

And together we'll go to the Southern Kingdom and...

we'll find your father.

Well, here.

He gave this to me.

Take it for luck.

I can't accept this.

I'm not giving it to you.

I'm just giving you reason to return.

Who fights in the name of the king?

Well, come on, then.

- Be safe. - All right. Split up.

We'll lure the guards away from the cottage.

Be careful out there!

Hey, thanks for having us.

Over here.

This way.

You're really doing it, Johnny boy.

You're one of the good guys.

Honest, steadfast, loyal.

- You're a...

idiot.

You look familiar.

Oh, yeah.

The lady with the good potatoes.

Where is Snow White?

Snow who?

You're protecting her.

Answer Her Majesty.

Show me where you found him.

In the forest,

two furlongs south of the crossroads.

I'm sure you think you got this licked, Your Majesty.

But trust me,

you don't know what you're up against.

See, unlike you...

I know her.

I think you mean "knew."

I think it's time for Snow White and I

to have a little talk.

"Poison apple. The sleeping death."

Hmm.

"Antidote."

"True love's kiss."

That won't get you free.

I don't like it.

It's too dangerous with the queen's guard out there looking for you.

We could come with you.

Do you really have to go?

I need to find the truth about my father.

If there's any chance he's alive...

And when you find what you're looking for,

you'll come back...

right?

I will.

I promise.

Okay.

Come on, fellas. Let's go.

Jonathan?

I'm sorry, my dear.

Did I frighten you?

No, I was expecting someone else.

Can I help you?

It is I who can help you.

Are you Snow White?

The princess?

Who did you say you were?

I have come with a message.

From Jonathan.

From Jonathan?

I'm afraid he's been captured by the queen.

Captured? No.

He gave me this necklace.

He said you'd know what it means.

I need to go to him.

But what of the danger?

Ah. You love him?

Well,

because love is so precious,

I will help you.

Here.

Take this apple

to sustain you on the road.

Hey!

Whoa!

Snow White.

I remember how generous your father was to his people.

That's why it is an honor for me to return the favor to his daughter.

I know I don't have much to give...

but giving you this apple makes me feel as though

his spirit is here.

Come on! Hyah!

Thank you.

For him.

For your father.

Hyah! Hyah!

- Go. Come on! - Faster!

What's happening?

Something's wrong.

I did know your father.

Quite well.

What do you mean?

I knew he was a fool!

You. It's you.

It was almost too easy for me to have him killed.

His goodness cost him his throne,

as it will cost you your life.

So...

- tell me, Snow White...

...who is the fairest one of all?

Your envious heart can be at rest.

You, my Queen,

are fairest of all.

All hail the queen,

fairest of them all.

You've done this every day.

It hasn't moved.

Forget it.

I did forget.

I forgot what it was to have courage,

to have hope, but then...

then I met Snow White.

She fought for us.

With us.

When she had every reason to run.

She never gave up on us.

I am not...

giving up on her.

- Come on. - Pull harder.

Listen, the queen's secret entrance lets out one mile

from the royal stables where there's dozens of horses.

I'll check for guards. You go.

Good luck.

Whoa.

I'm so sorry.

Snow White...

- Ah. - She's alive!

- She's awake. - It's a miracle.

Jonathan.

What is it?

Hey, what's wrong?

My father...

He's gone forever.

Murdered by the queen.

Oh, dear.

What will we do now?

It's time.

Time?

Time to restore our kingdom.

It won't be easy.

She'll do everything she can to stop us.

Let her try.

Did he... Was that...

Dopey?

We're not afraid.

Dopey.

Not anymore.

Oh, wow.

Well said, Dopey.

Then neither am I.

Follow me.

- Shh!

- On to the main gate! - Yes, sir.

I believe you're looking for me.

As a matter of fact,

I believe it is you who's looking for me.

Stand aside.

This is my father's house.

You killed him.

You stole it from him, from all of us.

And now we're here to take it back.

Pretty...

isn't she?

Delicate, elegant, exquisite.

You think you want a flower.

But a flower wilts.

A flower cannot keep you safe.

Or raise an army,

or lead a kingdom.

A flower cannot give you what I can give you.

Perfection.

Power.

Beauty.

If you want the throne...

take it.

They're waiting.

Enough of this charade.

Guards, hold her.

You.

Let the people watch her die.

Paul.

You were a farmer.

In the Western Vale.

You have a wife.

Eleanor.

You had a grove of cherry trees and when they would blossom,

you would invite the village to come and pick them.

To share them.

Matthew.

You were a baker...

just like your father.

You never turned anyone away if they were hungry,

even if they didn't have a coin left in their pocket.

Arthur.

Enough.

William.

I remember you.

All of you.

I said, "Enough!"

There was a time where we lived with hope.

When good things were nurtured and allowed to grow.

I remember.

Do you?

I remember.

I remember.

And I.

And I.

And I.

Leave.

Now.

And never come back.

I am the rebel Quigg,

master of the crossbow.

No.

It isn't true.

Look at me. I'm still the fairest.

Famed is thy beauty.

But it goes no further than the skin.

For Snow White,

beauty comes from deep within.

And so, my Queen,

at last, you see.

She will always be

more fair than thee.

You lie!

Snow White more fair than thee.

Once upon a time,

there was a peaceful kingdom

governed by a virtuous queen

who believed that the true beauty of her land

was not to be measured in gems or jewels,

but in its people.

The queen ruled with kindness and love.

She was fearless, fair, brave and true.

And her name was Snow White.
