Evaluation: 4 stars
I have watched Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs a few times. And I realize that these stories are different in some points. Especially, the last scene is quite different. In Walt Disney’s, the prince kiss Snow White and it causes her to come back to life. On the other hand, in this book, it is caused by the sudden movement. This is interesting but I prefer Walt Disney’s to this.
