A KINGDOM OF ISOLATION AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M THE QUEEN. A highborn and well-trained lady, Queen Elsa of Arendelle is as graceful as she is polite. She is well-versed in the customs of her time, and dutifully observes them whenever possible, barring instances where others may be at risk.

In more ways than one, the Brothers Grimm origin story of Snow White is a much deeper and more insightful tale in comparison to its Disney counterpart.

Grimm brothers’ “Snow-White” and Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” both follow a very basic plot: Snow white is a beautiful girl born to a king. As she grows she becomes even prettier.
