Having the perpetually vain queen's life end as a old beggar woman, never being able to return to the beauty she so craved, is a far better move, thematically, than dancing in hot shoes. Excellent job! One of my favorite Disney baddies done justice!
I kinda wish that as she was running from the dwarves the disgise would start slowly wearing off until it's almost fully the Queen again, soaked and unruly in hair with makeup washing away as she's trying to lever the boulder onto the dwarves...
right until the lightning strikes, mysteriously and instantly turning her back into the hag, just as she falls, her crown being the only thing left untouched.
@Kandinsky hero ytp and memes they probably will do that. They also said they will keep the previously scrapped "Triton and Ursula are siblings" plotpoint in the live action The Little Mermaid. They will want to flesh out the characters to show how modern and cool they are.
@@oron61 Well, that's one way to do it... =)
You're not far off; that's how it goes in some of the storybook versions too. That's why, even in the movie version, it's emphasized that the sheer jealousy drove her insane. =)
Psychologists have pointed out symbolic justifications for the torturous execution in thr Grimms Brother's original recording: 1) Feet are used for transportation, so they symbolize people's actions (and thus their motives). Burning iron shoes thus symbolise searing envy taking monstrous control of the Queen. 2) The Queen wanted public acclaim... Since her envy of Snow White stemmed from said craving, the public nature if the Queen's punishment fit her heinous crimes.
To be fair to Snow, she is shown to be way more suspicious by the third try, the Queen even being forced to take a bite of the apple herself to prove it's not poison (Unfortunately, old Grimhilde, crafty sort that she is, anticipated that, and so, only poisoned ONE HALF of the apple, biting into the non-poisonous part, and leaving the rest for Snow).
That’s exactly what happened in the Golden Films version, as the Poison Apple had two visual sides where the rotten part isn’t poisoned, but the shiny part is; she cut the apple in half, eats the rotten half, and gave the shiny half to Snow White.
BTW, I realized the design of the “peddler woman” in that version looks a lot like the Sea Hag from Popeye, in addition on their version of Snow White looking more like Ariel with Raven-Hair.
I just assumed she developed an immunity to iocane powder.
Sorry, wrong franchise. 😁
@@mxplixic That's Princess Bride.
My fave villain EVER, elegant and classy. Although I wish she had a song; her personality is mostly serious but she does have a morbid sense of humor for sure. I think it would be interesting to give her a song about how she kinda likes disguising herself as an old witch because it gives her a chance to let loose and not be concerned with being perfect all the time.
I think that would be great as well, especially in the couple stage adaptations we got. The closest thing we have to an actual song was in the Disneyland stage show from the 80's where she had sort of a rock-type song? It was weird.
Pre-Little Mermaid Disney movies didn't have the Broadway feel in general. Even the Sherman Borthers songs, although great, weren't always that theatrical. Often, there was one big "showstopper" number in the movies (but not always), and the rest of the songs were just sort of weaved in and out.
I wish Disney had written the Queen to seem less erudite... She seems like a poorly cast actress; she obviously would be more convincing as Jadis, or Evanora, than as herself.
I wish Disney made a direct to video sequel to Snow White, and who knows if they got a good script and good writers, the film would’ve been actually pretty good if that happened
@@ColinLooksBack if you ever do another villain retrospective cleanup, I’d like to see ol’ Grimhilde get some attention for Mother’s Day. Why? Well, there’s been some fanart over a what-if idea of the Queen being nice to Snow White. Although Nice is not exactly good, her being a nice person wouldn’t be as ungrateful as the pettiness of Hal from Megamind.
Anyways, besides meet and greets that people took footage of (as the depiction varies from m&g actor to m&g actor) there was a book where Snow White and the Queen tell their two sides of the story, with Snow White telling the movie narrative from her point of view, and the Queen telling a sort of AU narrative, where the Queen turns out to be a Health Nut that wanted what's best for Snow White; later on in the Queen’s narrative, the whole Apple thing was hand-waved as gossip, and that the Queen didn't use a potion to turn into an ugly woman, but that she wished to see Snow White again, have a friendly conversation with her, and was giving the Apple to teach Snow White to eat healthy, which was barely touched upon in Snow White’s narration with chores and cake, but nothing much about health was ever brought up afterwards, while the Queen’s narrative goes into great detail about it. You can find these particular scans at FanPop, as that is where I found out about Disney making an official product catering to the audience that wanted a Snow White/Grimhilde dynamic; you can even read what was written in those narratives, as it's more elaborate than I would be. It is one of the rarest examples of Snow White and the Queen actually having some sort of social connection that was never part of the movie's narrative (outside of the “Mizerabel” disguise; and yes, I said Mizerabel, because the disguise was given a name in “Castle of Illusion”, and the remake made it look more like the original movie Hag design).
Honestly, given the multitude of remakes that change narrative (much like fairy tales of old, given the Queen was meant to be Snow White’s birth mother originally, but later changed to stepmother in editions prior to the Disney film), sometimes a change can be a good thing, if given the right elements to compliment the new direction; while it would be hard to find a new villain to stand in for this type of change, we can still think of something of a better future in storytelling. Besides, the “My Side of the Story” depiction of Grimhilde makes Mei Lee’s relationship with her mom look toxic.
Sidenote 1: In the aforementioned Snow White children's book, the Queen gave herself a spa treatment, which reminds me of a scene from "Mirror Mirror", a non-Disney adapted Snow White movie, which features Nathan Lane, the voice of Timon who played a Servant of the Queen.
Sidenote 2: Remember the Huntsman who was named Humbert in the promotional material? Well the "My Side of the Story" Queen narrative gave him the generic name "Brad". So it's "Bradley Humbert" I guess. Also, unlike the Movie Queen, this AU Queen is more forgiving of old Humbert here... guess even in this AU, Humbert is still unpunished.
true but in later years, villains in other movies did get their own songs.
I’m sorry, but the line of the evil queen essentially forcing the dwarves to retire as dwarves gave me the mental image of them just throwing their hands up and rudely declaring that they’ll just somehow grow three feet bigger and I couldn’t help but laugh and the sheer ridiculousness
One thing I love about Grimhilde is how stoic and emotionless she is when in her real form, and how wild and manic she is in her witch disguise. It’s sort of a Jekyll and Hyde motif where she lets out her inner emotions in a less regally sophisticated appearance. Hard to believe that both forms share the same actress.
Also, I believe George Lucas’ main inspiration for Emperor Palpatine’s physical appearance was based on the Queen’s hag disguise. Talk about an influential villain!
Who knows, maybe they're the same character
The way the witch’s eyes look when she first interacts with Snow White standing in the window is sooooooo creepy
The cruel thing about the Evil Queen dying offscreen in Birth By Sleep is that you're playing the story three times as three different player characters who are all doing different things in the Disney stories. When you hear the queen died when playing as one character, you assume that one of the other two player characters is going to battle her, and only when you play through all three do you realize that it really was offscreen.
It was a wasted opportunity, Terra could have fought both the Queen and the Mirror, Ven helps the Prince escape from some Unversed after bumping into the Queen in her disguise and Aqua help the Dwarfs to catch the Queen and help them against her attacks
I would like to add that, last year, she was mentioned as an important person in the 2020 Japanese rhythm game, Twisted Wonderland, created by Disney and Aniplex. She is called "The Beautiful Queen" and is considered a figurehead at Night Raven College alongside six other iconic Disney villains: the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Scar from the Lion King, Ursula from the Little Mermaid, Jafar from Aladdin, Hades from Hercules and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.
The dormitory based off of her is called Pomefiore, founded upon her unrelenting efforts. Students in that dorm tend to excel in potions and sorcery, and are often skilled in making poisons. To qualify as the dorm leader, one must be able to make the deadliest poison out of all their peers. If you want to get deeper on the references, the dorm leader, Vil Schoenheit is meant to be based on the Evil Queen. His Vice Dorm Leader, Rook Hunt, is based on the Huntsman that served the Queen and Epel Felmier is supposed to be the poison apple that kills Snow White (though I don't understand why).
I hope to add info on the other villains and their dorms in Twisted Wonderland when they are discussed.
Ayyyy, another TWST fan!
Nice! A Twisted Wonderland mention!
Keep up the great work! I was slightly looking forward to seeing it be talked about in the video, but this comment well made up for it.
Yeah I was gonna mention this too!
Watching this retrospective reminds me of when my parents took me and older brother to a Disney On Ice show of Snow White when I was 6. When it got to the part where Snow White asks the audience should she eat the apple, naturally every kid said "no", I, however, surprisingly said, "Yes, do it." because at that time I had already seen the movie a good number of times and studied it. At the age of 6, I was basically saying, "Be authentic!"
"Magic Mirror on the wall!"
"Ayyyyyyyyy Queenieeeeeeeee"
"Her wicked brother that wanted to avenge her death"
I think someone from Filmation heard about this, and stole the idea to use for their Snow White sequel "Happily Ever After".
Keshia Anders Yeah, the drawing even kind of looked like him. XD
I was just thinking about that
Perhaps, but the Disney version was not blessed with a rapping owl.
@@ColinLooksBack ugh that was rough I loved this retrospective though! I can't wait till you do Chernabog and Lady Tremaine and her daughters
@@ColinLooksBack 4:33 - 4:38: And Mizerabel (Castle of Illusion), don't forget that: static.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/3/36/Screenshot_2014-09-25-13-37-59.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141218173310
My grandfather was very young when Snow White came out and he remembers being scared by the witch/Evil Queen
26:25 I love the idea that somebody came up with this idea and wrote it as a comic after watching the Queen’s transformation scene in the original film. The plot of this comic seems to contrast with said original scene so much, and I love it.
My interpretation (from the storybook version) was that her envy, as well as the black magic, drove her completely insane, since she doesn't even seem to care that her looks are gone forever. Sacrificed to her own vanity. (And FYI; it's Kathy "NAY-Jee-Mee", whom you may know from 'Hocus-Pocus', 'Sister-Act', 'Rat Race', and 'King of the Hill'.) =)
Another excellent video. The Queen is one of the scariest villains from Disney, and her death was very fitting.
Curious, will you also cover Pixar villains?
I'm probably going to cover Pixar villains, yes. :)
@@ColinLooksBack quini
@@ColinLooksBack 1:29: Heart, Lungs and Liver... If they were from a Sheep instead of a Wild Pig, the Queen would've added the Sheep's Stomach to make a Haggis.
In a long time.
The Evil Queen having no real allies or henchmen is portrayed interestingly in the board game Villainous, where you play as the villains trying to achieve their evil plans, usually, you'd be able to play "ally" cards with special effects to help on your quest and "vanquish" hero cards (i.e. Pain and Panic for Hades, the hyenas for Scar, Creeper for The Horned King) but the Queen only has one ally, the Huntsman, that while powerful, cannot be used to defeat heroes as the Queen's board lacks a vanquish action, instead she has to use poison apples.
Don't forget Twisted Wonderland where the evil queen is an anime pretty boy. (But seriously, it's actually a great game with 3d characters and a fun story. Despite what first impressions might give, it's a battle game with little romance, not an otome game. But it's only in Japanese at the moment, but there are English fansubbed versions on TH-cam.)
This video is criminally underrated. I can't imagine the amount of time he spent into making this. Thanks for all that hard work, I hope your channel keeps growing and you can keep doing what you like. As we saw on the many many versions of Snow White and other fairy tails, no good deed goes without it's reward, though it may take some time and come in an unexpected way. Take care my friend.
Snow White's Scary Adventures was my favorite attraction at Disney. I really hope that not all the parks adapt the mine train (though that is fun). The Queen was the OG Disney character to appear in a full length movie. So give her something.
I think the Raven from the Queen makes some link to inspire Headmaster Dire Crowley from the Twisted Wonderland cell-game on-line of Disney Japan subcompany released last year. as the headmaster of the magical high school private college-academy is mainly a good or neutral guy compared with most of his leading students and staff of the school who are mainly new incarnation from the main villains of Disney, yet less evil and are able to learn and evolve themselves from those egotistical backgrounds - the equivalent of the Queen of Snow White there actually learns some humility lesson after the climax of his storyline arc (- and yes all the characters are male after this is a only-male school, including the versions of the female villainess of Disney which are pretty interesting concept on its own).
The Hans Conreid version of the Mirror showed up in a 1977 TV special called Disney's Greatest Villains (and footage of him from this showed up in a couple of Disney Halloween specials, as well). I was four when I saw it--and was so scared by the part where Madame Medusa's machine gun broke the mirror that I had to be assured the mirror wouldn't show up in The Rescuers. (Which I ended up loving.)
Just come across this video and you've actually got me thinking about the Queen so differently. She's fascinating. The idea that the aloof restrained queen is all an act and that she actually uses her ugly form to let loose and have fun with her villainy is just brilliant. Perhaps, in thd long run, she wouldn't felt happier staying as the crone. See now I'm imagining a whole timeline where she succeeds and survives, turns herself back into the queen, lives her life as she used to and starts missing the freedom she had as the hag 😂
These villain retrospectives are so good. Please keep going with this! Leave no stone unturned. LOVING IT!!!!
Pinocchio probably has more villains than any other disney movie.
"Oh this is such a cool series, I should be almost done"
- me before I see we are on episode 10💀
These are really good videos and I love that each one is around 30 minutes. Great job!
Fantastic research! I love your deep-dive approach to the adaptations over the years. Looking forward to more villains, especially Professor Ratigan!
Who, in the original book was actually a mouse, given a justifiable reason to not be called a rat because of his name; compared to the Disney version, who is indeed a rat, and hate it when others like Bartholomew and Basil say it out of spite.
My parents took me to Disneyland when I was only 3 years old (late 80s), and I only have three memories of it: the sky buckets, seeing a Mickey's Birthday special with the performers in suits, and the Evil Queen spinning around from her mirror in that ride. I'm almost 40 and I have quite literally never forgotten that.
When the videos are this amazing they're worth the wait.
Not only do all the Disney villains that followed owe her everything but many of the great villains in film history. She’s such a perfect creation.
Actually she's not conversing with the mirror itself, she's conversing with the entity summoned in the mirror, she says: "Slave, in the magic mirror..." and proceeds to summon the entity that "come from the farthest space", which makes the scene even creepier
Definitely feeling like I saw the extended version of Snow White in a modern movie back in the 90s.
0:51 “...And the queen uses this godlike ability to- boost her self esteem.” Same tho
It’s also worth noting that although the Mirror Spirit doesn’t appear in KH Fragmentary Passage, there’s a section of the game based on the outer motif of the mirror chamber where Aqua can go through several mirrors to fight enemies and advance the story. The post-game also utilizes the often ignored zodiac symbols outside the mirror as you can collect all 12 of them to unlock a mini tournament, with a difficult version of Phantom Aqua as the last round.
Apparently that weird animated Witch figure got found recently and is on display at some history of the parks exhibit, no word on whether it will return to any store windows soon.
the magic mirror also appeared in the first shrek movie and answered the questions of lord farquad instead of maleficent.
Here's another staple villains have evil birds , The raven , Diablo , Iago ( Before he became good ) and the Falcon from Mulan ( Did it have a name ?) Ironically despite being pirates who often has a bird mostly parrots Hook wasn't shown with said bird .
The falcon of Shan Yu from Mulan is called Hayabusa
I remember a movie from 1987, that was a musical...it showed a little more in depth look into the queen played by Diana Rigg. The comb thing went like this....the queen pretends to be a woman from Asia, selling dress combs (poisoned) . She slides it In Snows hair and the posion comes in contact with her skin, putting her in a coma. She was hoping the dwarfs would think snow dead, therefore she'd be buried alive. This was my favorite movie as a kid, I still have the songs memorized.
Ah yes, the Cannon Movie Tales. Have you ever seen Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre? It was a made-for-cable series in the 1980s--each episode was an hour-long retelling of a famous fairy tale. I can't remember who played the Queen in that one, but the mirror was played by Vincent Price. :-)
@@jenniferschillig3768 sounds awesome, I just looked it up and it's on youtube. I will be watching it.
@@jenniferschillig3768 Vanessa Redgraves
The Grimhilde animatronic in a cage was actually put in the Disney Archives and was on display at one point. It no longer moves.
Fun fact
Snow white is first animated film telling a story of a fairy tale since lot of movie companies of that time couldnt tell it with either live action or partially live action and animated, this movie is a peak of that struggle and many more movies about stories have been going out, including disney movies after the snow white and apparently walt and his animators watched snow white again for purpouse of animating bambi and as of reminders they watched every close scenes with deer in snow white to get that correction for animating plus their research on real deer
In the 7D show is Snow White ever referenced in anyway ? Like a Baby Snow White being born ?
11:53 so pretty much the end of the pokemon yellow manga where jessie & james get married showing her pregnant with their kid.(really love the new cgi animation of the disney parks.:3)
also find interesting the evil queen had a brother seeking revenge before the filmation sequel(actually like it and would honestly love it being added with disney's seeing the dwarves interact.) for the comb it would be the poison seeping through snow whites hair into her skin.
11:55 A man of culture, I see
The comb she ramms the teeth of the comb into her scalp so that's how it works.
You forgot to mention that The Wicked Witch (as well as Snow White) has a cameo appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Shortly after Eddie has crashed his car in Toontown and the camera pans out to reveal the chaotic traffic there, we see Snow White helping The Witch along the sidewalk and into a shop. ( In the background we also see the dwarves coming up from underground and on to the sidewalk.)
the queen and the mirror also acted as 'hosts' in a direct to dvd...thing which was essentially a series of clips from various disney movies set to music acting as an celebration of the various villains of dinsey canon, with the special feature ending with the mirror pointing out that the villains ALWAYS lose, leading to the queen kinda...dying from shock I guess?
its not SUPER good, but its interesting, its essentially a series of Disney Villain themed AMVS with a framing device.
Are you talking about the 'Once Upon a Halloween' special?
I don't recall the Mirror being in it but I do remember the was a *cauldron* that spoke instead. The Queen wanted to take over Halloween (IDK roll with it I guess?) and the cauldron said she could call upon one villain to join her in her quest. They go through a bunch of villains, go over what makes a good villain using examples (blah, blah) and finally the Queen says she instead wants to join all the villains instead seeing as she can't decide just one. The deal is set but there's a catch. The cauldron warns her that no matter how hard villains try to succeed in their goals, all bad deeds come to a crushing defeat. Realizing this means *she* will the joining the other in their demises within the cauldron (including a sneak peek at her own fate in Snow White) she tries to stop the spell to no avail and the cauldron drags her in its water to join whatever limbo the other Disney villains are in, trapped in the cauldron. At least.....untill next year.
Come to think that was a lot darker than I thought. Anyway hope that helped clear it up a bit.👍🏻
@@absolite6 Thank you both for reminding me of this one. I believe I came across it at some point while gathering clips and forgot about it.
@@absolite6 it's been literally years since I saw it so I didn't rememebr all the details XP
Fun fact, the cauldron in this special isn't just some random cauldron. It's supposed to be the Black Cauldron from, you guessed it, the Black Cauldron!
In the Disney-approved golden book for snow white, it actually says she has killed other women who are claimed by the mirror for being the "fairest" one in the land
The walk around mirror looks like a hollow from the anime bleach .
The Evil Queen is my favorite Disney Villain of all time. And Snow White is my favorite Disney Princess
Makes me want to see 3 movies 3 hours runtime in this universe. Kinda like tolkiens
In the original snow white she was 7 years old when the queen tried to kill her and the queen was snow White's real mother
This woman gave me nightmares for years as a kid. Her hag form is one of the most unsettling designs in animation. I still find it quite terrifying on some level.
BOTH The Evil Queen, and The Old Hag Witch are some of my favorite "Disney" Villains!
:)
If there's one video you'd probably do that I'm gladly waiting for, it's Disney TV cartoon villains. That's a LOT of ground to cover, but those are some of my favorite Disney big bads. That seems like something that you'd have a LOT of fun with. Especially with the classic four line up of Ducktales through Darkwing Duck. They certainly have a lot of eclectic antagonist personalities in that lot, some even rivaling the movies.
As for the Queen here, could you imagine how dopey she would have been if she was just prototype Queen of Hearts? Keeping her deadly serious is why she worked as a terrifying villain. Not that more amiable, funnier villains like Hades or Yzma can't be threatening, it's just this was too soon in the experimental stage of Disney's animated movies to launch them off on a fat n' wacky queen.
There is a minor game appearance that you missed it seems
The villain of the Mickey Mouse game, Castle of Illusion, is a witch called Misrabelle
While not Grimhilda, she does take her appearance during the final boss fight
"You can't deny that Snow White has more of a defined personality than (...) Cinderella or Aurora." Aurora, maybe. But Cinderella? Nah. Cinderella at least shows some frustration and resistance to her mistreatment, while Snow seems to blithely accept hers with no internal thoughts about it.
One thing you forgot to mention about that snow white show in Disneyland. The Mirror was also the narrator.
You know growing up I couldn't decide who was scarier. Queen Grimhilde or Lady Tremaine. To me they were ten times scarier than any of the other Disney villains because they just sent shivers up my spine. Also all the other villains kind of made me laugh with some of their antics but these two nuh-uh! I never laughed at those two. I only shook. Not even Maleficent scared me more than those two.
Why does everyone rank of Cinderella? She does have quite a bit of personality in her movie, and she’s even snarky!
Isn't there a theory that Mother Gothel is the evil queen who survived but stuck in her old hag form?
Snow White and other fairytales are much older than Grimm versions, but of course you can’t deal with everything. But it’s worth a mention.
The irony of the cartoon, and I don't know was it intentional, is that when it comes to looks Evil Queen was clearly way better looking then Snow White that looks kind of plane looking. I guess it was all metaphorical and about inner beauty etc. Plus Jung archetypes.
22:45 this is like the original being voiced by Ed Wynn and the mirror was just being like the Mad Hatter
Splendid!
Grim Gloom's stupidity is meant as comic relief.
Collin, how come the two vultures don't count as minions of the Queen?
I thought about the vultures, but I didn't really feel it worked to include the. They're sinister and memorable, but they didn't seem to be in it to hurt anyone in particular, just whoever dropped dead first.
@@ColinLooksBack yeah Vultures shouldn't be treated as villains as they eat already dead animals and the vultures in Jungle Book are good and a werid non Disney example the Vultures in Ice Age 2 help the animals survive a flood, through they did take enjoyment of eating those who died they told the truth on a boat rather then lie to fool them
I'm reading a book about a male historical figure who're made fun of among history geeks nowadays that he was like an evil queen trying to get rid of all 'handsome men' who could overthrow his throne. The same logic makes sense on Snow White's plot too since Snow White was the real heir to the thrown and that Evil Queen was a power-hungry person who didn't want to give the position to anyone.
I believe that the real intention for Evil Queen to kill Snow is likely to secure her power as the head of state, but the plot wouldn't sound so charming to the audiences, so the writer changed the reason from 'power' to 'beauty'. There are also numerous instances in history that beautiful women rose to power due to their good looks. Some ancient female leaders would assassinate pretty women who had the potential to take the power from them.
Fun fact
In hungarian, the evil queen was voiced by Éva Szabó, who also voiced yzma drom the emperors new groove, mrs potato head from toy story, jubaba from spirited away and mama from coco
11:02 I think it the mining she's trying to get them to retire from
Your videos always brighten my day!
The queen destroyed her beauty buy turning into a beggar, created a poison apple, and tricking snow white to eat said poison apple. All because show white is prettier than her
Colin LooksBack wonderful video thank you for posting it can you do more videos type in your video
Great series. Keep up the good work! :)
Regina is played by Lana Parilla not Laura.
mmmm I'd argue Cinderella have more personality than Snow White, tho I might be thinking too much of the third film which wouldn't count in this case. Would have to rewatch both Snow White and Cinderella to be sure.
Aurora is definitely the least characterized of the three, although she feels more expressive due to the newer artstyle.
Snow White wasn’t part of the original version of the Snow White darkride since the guests were supposed to take on the role of Snow White as they entered the ride.
The original and still the best. Let’s face it, Snow White is boring and the Queen was better looking. Lol
I would add that the woman playing her in the theme park is brilliant. She’s very clever and quick on her feet with the perfect amount of haughtiness and shade.
Agreed, The Queen is far more attractive than Snow White & I’m not just saying that because the latter is only 14
One More Tidbit when you get to Brer Fox:
I found a story from Joel Chandler Harris where rabbit uses Fox like a Riding Horse to get to a Party
2:13 The poison is magical, so it only requires contact with the victim's hair to reach her skin.
If anyone wants to see more of the remarkable lady who voiced the Queen and the Witch, check out the 1935 film version of A Tale of Two Cities - I won't even say who she plays, if you don't know her when you see her you'll recognize that laugh.
Ok I swear I had a dvd where the evil queen had a cauldron that could bring other villains to her and that she looked at them all and couldnt pick so the cauldron sucked her into it so she could be with them all, was this an actual thing or something I have somehow made fake memories of?
I believe you're trying to remember 'Once Upon a Halloween' (2005) - a clip show with the Evil Queen attempting to use the Black Cauldron to take over on Halloween.
A Disney Villains Retrospective Part 4: Scar ( the Lion King)
That sounds cool, but it looks like he intends to go in strict chronological order. So it'll be a long time before we cover Scar. If he decides to stretch it out that far. I assume he will.
@@martinjohnson7225 You could based on Wotso videos :th-cam.com/video/s-4qWNsZuGM/w-d-xo.html
and here's a article:www.mylionking.com/wiki/Scar
The crime: being fairer than the Queen.
The sentence: death.
Method of execution: BURIED ALIVE!
On second thought, maybe I wouldn't mind Little Snowdrop and the Seven Dwarfs from the Grimm Brothers' 1st Edition and Little Snowball and the Magic Mirror from their later version, just as long as both have a happy ending.
Did I miss it, or did you not mention Jeffrey Jones’ 1984 performance as the Magic Mirror for the Halloween special ‘DTVs Monster shots’?
I like the amount of research you put into these videos, but I must point out that you missed one version of the Magic Mirror- the one portrayed by Jeffrey Jones in Disney's DTV Monster Hits.
Cinderella has a personality. Aurora on the other hand sadly doesn't. But I have written a full TV show premise on the fact She's more fae than human at that point and probably eats edible flowers like it's no big deal and hates shoes because her feet are probably calloused.
Also James and Jessie are basically married and both as bisexual. They are the bi flag
AND TALKED TWISTED WONDERLAND!
7:16 deleted or unmade scenes
in the fairest of them all book the queen stabs the hunter before going to the magic lab
7:03 we get to see who she is on the inside
2:18 in the story snow white just falls to the ground when she uses it
So, all the versions I read as a kid had the teeth of the comb being super sharp and piercing the skin on her head
25:33 wait what do you mean by unpunished he didn’t seem upset about that.
Hildy Gloom actually looks a lot like Kelly Osbourne, doesn't she? I also can't help but wonder if Snow White and Evie are stepsisters.

I wonder if that's a reference.
2:24 Was this a movie from Frederick Murnau or not?
You left out the following character: Bongo the Gorilla (yes, I know he was not a villain in Marsupilami, but he was one in a deleted scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit)
I am so glad they got ride of the original Snow White ride at Disney World a few months before my first trip as a kid cause it would’ve scared me so bad.
A dead prince?! In her dungeon? And she is already imprisoning another prince to rot in her prisons too?!
Man I can only imagine the political nightmare and diplomatic hurdles Queen Grimhilda's kingdom has to dance too with that and how many more prince are dead in her dungeon.
AWww you left out the part where the Wicked Queen threw Mountain Dew all over the mirror to make it fight Terra instead.
I’m back yet again
