Realizing the Huntsman tricked her, the Queen furiously descends into her laboratory and resolves to do away with her stepdaughter herself. She once again consults the Magic Mirror, who informs her that Snow White still lives and that the heart in the box in the Queen's hands is that of a pig. The Queen is later seen with the heart box returned. She takes his advice and flees into a deeper part of the forest, eventually coming to the residence of the seven dwarfs. When she admits she doesn't understand, the Huntsman tells her the Queen is insanely jealous of her, and urges her to run away far into the woods.
Kneeling before the princess (and awkwardly wiping his tears in her dress) he pleads her to forgive him. The Huntsman hesitates, however, and finally drops the dagger from his trembling hand, realizing he cannot murder someone as pure as Snow White. Just as the baby bird has flown away, Snow White sees a shadow on the rock in front of her and, turning around to see the advancing, dagger-wielding huntsman, shrieks in terror. As she notices a baby bird and helps it to find its parents, the huntsman, after checking to see that the two are alone, begins to quietly advance on her, wielding his dagger. The Huntsman takes the princess to a secluded glade in the forest, where she picks wildflowers. He is given a box in which to put Snow White's heart, as proof to the Queen that her stepdaughter is dead. The Huntsman objects, but says he will obey when the Queen silences the Huntsman and reminds him of the penalty for failure. A story meeting held on June 27, 1936, mentions several elements of the scene that are present in the final film, including the Huntsman's voice echoing after Snow White as she flees: the Huntsman says, " The Queen! The Queen! Go, go, go and never return to the castle for the sake of not only yourself, but for those who love you! Don't return!"Īppearances Snow White and the Seven DwarfsĪfter being told by the Magic Mirror that Snow White is the fairest of all, the vain Queen summons the Huntsman to her castle and orders him to take the princess to a secluded area deep in the forest, and kill her. How the Huntsman should drop the knife and whether Snow White should notice the knife before or after it is dropped, generated a large amount of discussion and Walt Disney suggested that the Huntsman be kept in shadow to create a more dramatic situation. After more story meetings, Walt Disney suggested that the scene involve Snow White helping a lost, frightened baby bird, to emphasize her innocence and thus create a stronger situation. However, it was felt that this version of the story contained too delicate acting from the characters involved, presenting difficulties for the animators.
A large amount of dialogue would have been required to explain why he could not carry out his task and what Snow White then had to do.
