When the princess Snow White's father is murdered by his new bride, the witch queen Ravenna, Snow White is locked away in a tower while Ravenna brings ruin and starvation to the kingdom. The day the magic mirror portends Snow White's beauty as surpassing the queen's, Ravenna orders her death. Snow White escapes into the dark forest where she is pursued by the queen's huntsman. The huntsman is a depressed drunkard who has given up on life because his wife was killed by the queen's men. He blames himself for ever letting her out of his sight and not protecting her (I'm gonna puke). He and Snow White team up with a bunch of ragamuffin dwarves who are far from the kind little caricatures we're used to . Most all of them are grumpy and suspicious except for the random blind one (Bob Hoskins) and the nice happy ginger one. Then Snow White is tricked by the queen and eats an apple that puts her under a spell, blah blah blah. But this time, when Snow White is awakened by true love's first kiss (???), she leads a band of escaped vigilantes into battle against the evil queen.
