Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) This issuance celebrates the rich legacy of the Walt Disney Studios Ink & Paint Department with a pane of 20 stamps showcasing 10 classic Disney villains: • Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) • Honest John (Pinocchio) • Cruella De Vil (One Hundred and One Dalmatians) • Captain Hook (Peter Pan) • Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland) • Lady Tremaine (Cinderella) • Ursula (The Little Mermaid) • the Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) • Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) • Scar (The Lion King) The Evil Queen (also known as the Wicked Queen or just the Queen) is the main antagonist of Disney's 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the first Disney animated features canon villain. Determined to remain the fairest one of all, the Queen becomes insanely jealous of Snow White, the only one whose beauty surpasses her own. She eventually uses dark magic in the form of an aging potion to transform herself into an old woman in a final attempt to do away with her only, unknowing rival. Depicted in early designs as a fat character, her appearance eventually evolved into a much more sinister, stately beauty. She is generally one of Disney's most iconic and menacing first villains, once being voted the 10th greatest movie villain of all time. The Queen was animated by Art Babbitt and the Witch by Norman Ferguson. Although they are technically the same character, official materials such as the 1993 Disney Classics card set have depicted them as being different entities. Her name was given as Queen Grimhilde in some old publicity material and comics, but the Walt Disney Company does not appear to acknowledge it as canon. She is sometimes referred to as the Wicked Queen, while theme parks sometimes refer to her as the Snow Queen (not to be confused with Elsa the Snow Queen). The Witch is sometimes referred to as the Old Hag after drinking the aging potion. |
