The characters are from my point of view very lovable and the performances are great, especially as very good acting is needed ...

As she pricks her finger on a thorn from her roses, and the drop of blood drops on fallen apple blossoms, she desires a child with hair like ebony, skin as white as the apple blossoms and mouth ...
...baby, and so Snow White is born, and her mother, living only to name her baby, dies. The distraught father buries his wife and seeks to find food for his baby, struggling through a winter storm and falling at last exhausted, weeping inconsolably. Where his tears fall into the snow-covered ground, they melt an icy prison of enchantment of "The Green-Eyed One" - who offers him the customary wishes.
