- “Bachelorette number two is a cape wearing girl from the land of fancy. Although she lives with seven other men, she's not easy. Just kiss her dead, frozen lips and find out what a live wire she is. Come on, give it up for Snow White!”
- ―Magic Mirror introducing Lord Farquaad to Snow White.
Snow White is a minor character in Shrek and a supporting character in Shrek the Third. She is one of Fiona's Princess friends.
Background[]
Snow White lived in the Far Far Away Kingdom belonging to her deceased father and his cruel, evil magic dabbling new wife. She fled from the kingdom upon learning the evil queen's stepmother had made plans to execute her and take up the mantel of being the fairest one in the land.
She fled to the woods of Far Far Away and struck up residence with seven kind dwarves and even took a considerable liking to the youngest dwarf, Dopey. With the help of the seven dwarfs and a prince, Snow White eventually awoke from a slumber she was cast into by a poison apple given to her by her evil stepmother, who was the guise of an elderly peddler woman. Following that slumber, she overtook her home kingdom along with the prince who had awoken her and even let the seven dwarfs strike up residence in the kingdom as a fond thank you for all they had provided for her.
Appearances[]
Shrek[]
Snow White first appeared sleeping in a glass cabin and being carried by the seven dwarfs, then as a choice wife option for DuLac King in waiting for Lord Farquad, and finally at the swamp wedding of the Ogre Shrek and her friend Fiona's swamp wedding fighting with Cinderella for the bouquet.
Shrek the Third[]
Snow White is invited along with the other princesses at the baby shower for Fiona, pregnant with ogre triplets. Prince Charming, along with the Evil Queen Stepmother and many other defeated villains, layed siege to Far Far Away and Snow along with Beauty, Fiona, and the others escaped courtesy of a secret castle passageway.
At first, Snow White comes across as arrogant, lazy and selfish, even stubborn, mean-tempered, and irritable, but after she and her friends are encouraged by Fiona, she joins them in the fight against Prince Charming. In her best moment, she sends up her own Disney-like sweetness to distract the prince's walking trees by singing to the animals in an Adriana Caselotti-type voice; and then her song becomes a battle cry of Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song' as she sends the animals to attack the guards.
Trivia[]
- She is inspired by the protagonist in Disney's 1937 film Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs.
