Similarities To Disney Film
While this is a sequel to the original story and not the 1937 Disney film, there are some similarities. The most obvious is the Magic Mirror. In both, the slave of the Mirror is portrayed as a drama mask in darkness. In both, the seven friends include a grim and taciturn individual who, despite seemingly not liking Snow White, ultimately leads the charge against the Evil Queen who has disguised herself as an old woman and whom they chase up a cliff. In both, a pair of vultures watches the Evil Queen intently.

Famous quotes containing the words similarities and/or film:
“One internationally known twin researcher sees similarities between twins’ relationships and those of couple who have been married a long time. Fifteen-year-old twins, as well as spouses approaching their fortieth anniversary, each know their partners’ likes, dislikes, habits, and idiosyncracies as well as they know their own.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
