Snow White

2025

Following the benevolent King's disappearance, the Evil Queen dominated the once fair land with a cruel streak. Princess Snow White flees the castle when the Queen, in her jealousy over Snow White's inner beauty, tries to kill her. Deep into the dark woods, she stumbles upon seven magical dwarves and a young bandit named Jonathan. Together, they strive to survive the Queen's relentless pursuit and aspire to take back the kingdom.

Fantasy peril, a murder attempt, pursuit by a threatening queen, poison, and frightening woods may unsettle younger children; the PG presentation and hopeful themes make it broadly suitable from about age 8. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
