Forest Animals (Snow White)

The Forest Animals are major characters and protagonists in Disney's 1937 animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. They are the protectors and helpers of Snow White.
==Background==
===Overview===
The forest critters take their role as Snow White's guardians. They are the most important part of the princess' life.
===Personalities===
The only human character who seems able to speak to them is Snow White, whom they make it their priority to protect and help throughout the film. The animals are used as confidants to the princess, who talks to them rather than talking to herself. Like the following princesses, Cinderella, Aurora, and to some extent Belle and Jasmine, Snow White is separated from all contact with the outside world and discovers friendship in the animals around her. Birds, rabbits, deer, chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, and quails inhabit the forest; however, the most significant of the forest fauna is a turtle, who is always a step behind the other animals. The animals are primarily used to justify many of Snow White's lines; rather than talking to herself, she is addressing her animal friends. 
The animals dislikes Snow White's stepmother, the Evil Queen. They are the most developed and the most significant character is undoubtedly the tortoise, which is always a time behind its companions. For example, when the animals run to warn the dwarfs about the Queen will kill Snow White, by the time the turtle reaches them, they have already left with the little men.
==Appearances==
As Snow White works in the courtyard of the Queen's Castle, several doves are gathered nearby. She informs them that the well nearby is a wishing well, and sings "I'm Wishing" to her reflection at the bottom of the well. The Prince, enchanted by her voice, joins in the song; though Snow White, startled, runs indoors to watch the prince from a low balcony, the doves remain; the Prince kisses one of them. Later, the Huntsman raises his dagger behind the princess as she helps a baby bird find its parents. Snow White is next seen with animal companions after her flight through the forest, when it is revealed that the eyes that have been menacing to the princess only belong to the friendly animals of the forest.
