She puts the apple in a basket, and walks down through the dungeon below, emerging from the castle's catacombs in a raft. Regardless, the Witch laughs it off, confident that the dwarfs will think Snow White is dead and they'll bury her alive and thus making her unable to receive a kiss. She soon discovers that the only cure is love's first kiss. She suddenly remembers that there may be an antidote to the Sleeping Death and searches through the spellbook, believing that "nothing must be overlooked". The Witch cruelly offers it to the Raven, who backs away, terrified, causing her to cackle maliciously. The image fades as the apple turns from black to red, to tempt Snow White. The Sleeping Death seeps into the apple, and the Witch raises it from the cauldron to reveal that the poison dripping from it has formed an image of a skull. She brews the potion in her cauldron and dips an ordinary apple into it as the Raven watches silently. Looking through her spellbook, she comes to the recipe for the Sleeping Death, and, reading of the poisoned apple's effects, decides that it's the perfect way to get rid of her. This sequence would have occurred immediately after the scene of the Seven Dwarfs going to sleep in their cottage the sequence would have been followed by the scene in which the Witch dips the apple into the brew to make it poisonous.Īppearances Snow White and the Seven DwarfsĪfter turning into the old hag, the Evil Queen declares that Snow White should suffer "a special sort of death". Smoke from the cauldron then begins to fill the room. Brew the magic recipe, boil, cauldron, BOIL!" Death within your depths I see, for one who dares to rival me. She pauses to see that the smoke rising from the brew is shaped like skulls, and adds a drop of an unknown ingredient to the concoction: In the sequence, the Raven looks on as the Witch stirs the cauldron with a huge bone of an unknown animal. There was also a very short sequence involving the Witch stirring her cauldron that was fully animated and completed, and was among the scenes cut from the film by Walt Disney at the last minute. The music changes as the apple changes and could stay that way until she says, "Have a bite." It would be a good contrast." Richard Creedon: "Admiring the apple as if she'd like to eat it herself - "Pink as a maiden's blush." īoth ideas were used in the final film innocent music is playing when the apple turns red, and the Witch appears to admire it briefly before offering it cruelly to the Raven. Walt Disney: "The thought just struck me on the buildup of the music where she says, "Now turn red, etc." Where it starts you might go into innocent, sweet music while she is saying something about how innocent it looks.
The scene of the Witch preparing the poisoned apple was discussed in a story conference in 1936: In the stages of the film, the apple was a story element that was to deliver a significant impact to the film's tone and transition.
