* {{Bookends}}: The ending segment of "Snow White" is a near-exact copy of the opening with Snow White's mother: Snow White marries the prince, but the people shun her for her dark skin color, and the prince, upon ascending the throne, falls out of love with her. Snow White gives birth to a child who is the spitting image of her, and loves her dearly despite the king and the kingdom viewing her as a curse. Then, Snow White falls ill. Where it differs is the conclusion: instead of dying from her illness, Snow White is taken by the dwarfs, who nurse her back to health, and she returns to the kingdom stronger than ever, ready to raise and protect her child.
