== Plot ==
The film opens with a backstory told through storytelling, a widowed king marries an evil witch named Clementianna, the most beautiful woman in the land. One day, the king leaves to fight a great evil that has invaded the land, but never returns; Clementianna rules in his absence, while confining her young stepdaughter, Snow White, to the palace. Ever since that day, it has always been Winter in the kingdom and the forest has a beast ruling. At her side is Brighton who served Snow White's father and the Baron who is constantly trying to court the Queen, which she finds annoying.
10 years later on her birthday, Snow White desires to explore the kingdom and sneaks out even though she is supposed to stay in her room. Walking through the forest, she meets the visiting Prince Andrew Alcott, a prince from the Kingdom of Valencia, who has been robbed by a band of Dwarves while traveling through the forest; she and the prince become smitten with each other. Snow White arrives in the town, and finds the people are destitute due to the Queen's heavy taxation for her parties.
Meanwhile, Clementianna is introduced to Alcott and plans to marry him for his wealth despite him not sharing her affections. Clementianna throws a ball to woo the Prince, and Snow White secretly attends, planning to ask the prince to help her restore the kingdom. The Queen notices them dancing and orders her manservant Brighton to bring her over to her. She soon learns that Snow White snuck out and after standing up to the Queen, Brighton is ordered to take the princess into the forest and feed her to the Beast. Brighton leaves Snow White in the forest sparing her as her father was kind to him, and she flees the Beast, collapsing at the door to the Dwarves' hideout; the dwarves take her inside and Brighton takes meat from the Larder and convinces the Queen it's Snow White's remains and she is convinced. After waking up Snow White meets the Dwarves who introduce themselves as Will Grimm, Butcher, Wolf, Napoleon, Half Pint, Grub, and Chuck. When Brighton collects more taxes levied by the Queen to pay for her expensive party, the Dwarves rob him. When they return, Snow White has tidied up and prepared a meal for them, the Dwarfs let her stay on. Snow White soon discovers the money meant to pay for the party and asks why they stole it, they tell her that it's all they can do as the Queen banished them from the town and to make matters worse, nobody stood up for them, they were just like all the villagers, hard working men with jobs. While the Dwarfs have an argument Snow White takes the money and returns it to the townspeople, crediting the Dwarves, whom the people hail as heroes.
Clementianna informs Alcott that Snow White is dead. When the Prince finds out that the bandits have robbed Brighton, he goes after them, Clementianna was just about to secure a marriage with the prince when this happen and chides Brighton. Meanwhile, the dwarfs decide that if Snow White is going to stay with them, she has to learn how to steal, Snow White is reluctant about this but agrees if what they steal goes back to the people. She gets a new look, training skills and important things to remember as a thief, overtime, she and the dwarfs bond. In the forest, Alcott discovers that Snow White is alive and in league with the Dwarves, who have trained her in combat. Each believing the other to be in the wrong, Snow White and Alcott duel. Alcott returns to the Palace defeated and informs the Queen that Snow White is alive.
Clementianna furiously enters her Mirror House, within which lives her reflection, the Mirror Queen. Clementianna tries to get the Prince to marry her but he loves Snow White and the Mirror Queen also points out that she will pay the "price" for using all this magic, and temporarily turns Brighton into a cockroach, and requests a love potion so she can make the prince fall in love with her. The potion turns out to be a 'puppy love' potion and the prince becomes devoted to her like a puppy dog. Under this spell, the prince agrees to marry her. Using dark magic, the Mirror Queen attacks Snow White and the Dwarves with two giant marionettes; but Snow White defeats them by finding and cutting their strings.
On the day of her wedding, the dwarfs cannot find Snow White but discover a letter saying good bye and all the dwarfs look for her, who just happened to be outside fixing their sign. They eventually convince her to stop the wedding and get the Prince back. Clementianna arrives to find that Snow White and the Dwarves have robbed the party and abducted the Prince; for her inability to handle bandits and for lying about Snow White's death, the aristocrats demand the Queen be deposed (although she thinks they are joking) so she decides to finish off Snow White herself. Back in the forest, they try different ways to break the curse but it is Snow White who manages to break the spell on Alcott with a kiss.
That night, the Prince apologizes for calling the dwarfs children, soon enough they hear sounds outside and Snow White decides it's her turn to save the day and locks them all in the house. She encounters Clementianna, who sends the Beast after her. Prince Alcott tries to save Snow White, but the Beast captures her. However, the Beast hesitates in killing her and Snow White sees that it wears a necklace with a moon charm on it similar to the one the Queen wears. Snow White cuts the necklace off, breaking Clementianna’s spell and restoring the Beast to its true form: Snow White’s father. Clementianna begins to age rapidly; the Mirror Queen explains this is the price for using dark magic.
Grateful to Alcott for his assistance, the king agrees to let him marry Snow White. At the wedding, a hooded crone appears and offers Snow White an apple as a wedding gift. At first, Snow White accepts the apple; but, as she is about to bite it, she realizes that the crone is Clementianna. Snow White cuts a piece from the apple and gives it to Clementianna, who reluctantly accepts it. The Mirror House shatters declaring it Snow White's story after all. Snow White and the Dwarves live happily ever after.
