The Last Song (film)
The Last Song had originally been set in Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington in North Carolina . Though they wished to shoot on location , filmmakers also examined three other states and identified Georgia as the next best filming site . Georgia 's housing prices were higher , but the state 's filming incentive package refunded 30 % of production costs such as gasoline , pencils , and salaries . North Carolina 's package refunded 15 % and excluded salaries of over $1 million . Still , Disney remained interested in North Carolina and offered to film there if the state would reduce the amount the company would save in Georgia , approximately $1 million , in half . North Carolina officials searched for ways to accomplish this , including applying unsuccessfully for state and Golden LEAF Foundation grants . They also introduced legislation to improve the state 's refund to 25 % , which eventually passed on August 27 , 2009 . Disney decided to work within existing incentive laws and agreed to film in North Carolina as long as the film rights they had bought from Sparks counted as a production cost , thereby saving the company an additional $125,000 to $225,000 . Then - North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue set up a press conference on April 1 , 2009 to announce N.C. 's victory . North Carolina tax collectors refused to consider the film rights , forcing Perdue to cancel the conference at the last second . `` I was hopeful to say that it was coming and now I do n't know that I 'll get to say that , '' Perdue said . `` Nobody knows what 's going to happen ( ... ) I do n't know what figures they got from Georgia , but Georgia wants them badly , and we want them badly , and by Monday ( April 6 , 2009 ) , there 'll be four or five other states that want them badly . '' Johnny Griffin , director of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission , explains : `` Disney makes feature films . They also make television series ; they make individual movies for the Disney Channel . By losing this one project , in essence , we 've lost all of those opportunities . '' He also notes the loss of jobs and tourism filming would have created .

Dyatlov Pass incident
`` that the group woke up in a panic ( ... ) and cut their way out the tent either because an avalanche had covered the entrance to their tent or because they were scared that an avalanche was imminent ( ... ) ( better to have a potentially repairable slit in a tent than risk being buried alive in it under tons of snow ) . They were poorly clothed because they had been sleeping , and ran to the safety of the nearby woods where trees would help slow oncoming snow . In the darkness of night they got separated into two or three groups ; one group made a fire ( hence the burned hands ) while the others tried to return to the tent to recover their clothing , since the danger had apparently passed . But it was too cold , and they all froze to death before they could locate their tent in the darkness . At some point some of the clothes may have been recovered or swapped from the dead , but at any rate the group of four whose bodies were most severely damaged were caught in an avalanche and buried under 4 metres ( 13 ft ) of snow ( more than enough to account for the ' compelling natural force ' the medical examiner described ) . Dubinina 's tongue was likely removed by scavengers and ordinary predation . ''

Hines ' Princesses series -- chronicling the adventures of Snow White with Princess Danielle Whiteshore ( Cinderella ) and former Princess Talia Malak - el - Dahshat ( Sleeping Beauty ) after their tales concluded with Snow and Talia being banished from their kingdoms and taken in by Danielle 's mother - in - law -- Snow White is a sorceress who uses her mother 's mirror as a key focus of her spells , relying on various smaller mirrors to maintain a link to it when away from the palace ; her power is commonly focused by using various rhymes as spells , although she can create other spells without speaking . The fourth novel , The Snow Queen 's Revenge , reveals that the magic mirror was created by Snow White 's mother imprisoning a demon and binding it to her service . The plot suggests that the mirror 's role in the original story was motivated by the demon attempting to create a set of circumstances that would allow it to escape , inspiring Snow 's mother to attack her daughter so that Snow would inherit the mother and some day make a mistake that would let the demon out . The protagonists return to Snow White 's kingdom to rediscover the secrets used by Snow White 's mother to bind the demon in hopes of exorcising it after it possesses Snow White when the mirror shatters after she tries to perform a particularly complex spell . The demon attempts to recreate a larger ice - mirror to summon further demons into this world , using the part - fairy blood of Danielle 's son Jakub -- Danielle having some fairy blood in her from her mother 's side of the family -- but a reflection of Snow 's untainted self helps to protect her friends long enough to destroy the demon .
