A woman who knows her place as house-cleaner sings a song about how she is passively wishing for her Prince to come (here we can bring in a Walter Benjamin discussion about the magic of the film being reduced to a modern wishing for a lucky break), sings one song with the Prince, after a few lustful glances, they fancy they are in love, and then the jealous queen tries to kill her. Snow white flees into the woods, comes across some stereotypes, cleans and cooks for them, sleeps in their beds, and then lovingly sends them off as any good housewife should do. You want to talk technical achievement? I'm sure those illustrators were having a marvelous time getting off as they illustrated every stereotypical curve of Snow White's body while sending her off to the phallic castle in the sky.
