It's been over 85 years since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs first was released, introducing viewers to Disney's first princess and some great Snow White quotes. The tale of a woman who befriends seven dwarfs while hiding from the evil queen is known around the world. And as dated as some of the movie's takes are, it's still a timeless classic that's amazing to rewatch. Some of Snow White's famous lines are still repeated today to keep Snow's memory alive in the Disney fandom. In fact, Snow White quotes are some of the more underrated ones among Disney Princesses.

The film was the first full-length animated feature ever to grace screens. Because of its importance to Disney's success, Snow White will always be a fan-favorite regardless of how much time goes by. While this iconic Disney princess film has aged, and many other princesses and movies have followed, it is, without a doubt, an epic. The movie is beautiful, not only for its time but forever. Snow White is timeless.

25 "But Hold, A Lovely Maid I See. Rags Cannot Hide Her Gentle Grace."

Magic Mirror

Snow White's fellow Disney princess Cinderella would become the character to define the rags-to-riches character arc that is seen in many fairy tales. However, that element also exists in Snow White's story. This comes with the Magic Mirror first letting the Evil Queen know that there is a young girl in the kingdom who is fairer than even the queen, remarking that even her low-born place in society cannot mask her beauty.

There is a common trend in movies and stories like this of those in power fearing the people who are meant to be their subjects. In the case of Snow White, she lives her life unaware of her beauty but simply happy with what life has given her. It is ironic then that the Evil Queen, who has all the power and wealth she could want, becomes obsessed with a commoner being more beautiful than her and sees it as a threat.

24 "Now, A Formula To Transform My Beauty Into Ugliness."

The Evil Queen

The Evil Queen is a terrible person from the beginning and easily earns her place among the best Disney villains. Her transformation into the ugly old woman during the third act of the movie only makes her all the more memorable as a villain, with the scene in which she concocts the dark magic potion a memorably creepy scene in the Disney movie, However, it also speaks to the destructive nature of her vanity.

She fails to grasp the irony of what she is doing and it foreshadows that she is also accidentally the cause of her own death...

The Evil Queen wants nothing more than to be considered the fairest one of all. However, despite the fact that she is already beautiful, the idea that Snow White could be considered more so drives her to ruin her own beauty to ensure Snow White is dead. She fails to grasp the irony of what she is doing and it foreshadows that she is also accidentally the cause of her own death at the end of the movie.

23 "Someday My Prince Will Come."

Snow White

As to be expected with a fairy tale movie that is closing in on being 100 years old, there are aspects of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that don't hold up as well today. However, despite the fact that the song "Someday My Prince Will Come" would never appear in a Disney movie nowadays, there is no denying that it is one of the most iconic songs from a Disney film.

The idea of the young woman sitting around waiting for a man to sweep her off her feet and take her to a better life is incredibly dated. That said, the song does still fit into the trend of the "I Dream" type of songs that became notable aspects of Disney movies from the Disney Renaissance era. It will be interesting to see how the Snow White live-action remake handles this aspect of the story and the famous song.

22 “Anyone Could See That The Prince Was Charming. The Only One For Me.”

Snow White

Part of the reason that early princes in Disney movies are simply referred to as “Prince Charming” with no name of their own is this Snow White quote. The first three Disney animated movies that adapted fairy tales - Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty - all focused on telling the story of the princesses. Even though they aren’t always looked upon favorably when it comes to their female characters, the movies are definitely about the titular woman.

When Show White says this line, the prince who wakes her with a kiss becomes known as Prince Charming in pop culture, and the term ends up sticking for future fairy tale adaptations. In merchandise for the movie, however, the character’s name is Prince Florian, though some translations outside of the United States have labeled him as Ferdinand or Fernando as well.

21 “Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, It’s Home From Work We Go.”

The Seven Dwarfs

It doesn't get any more iconic than hearing the seven dwarfs singing "Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's home from work we go" at the start of Snow White. Despite it not being Snow White's song, it is the one most associated with the movie.

In the movie, once Snow makes herself at home in the dwarfs' house, the scene then shows where the homeowners are. As it turns out, the dwarfs are miners, working to uncover diamonds and rubies. After a hard day's work, the seven men march home singing a tune to lift their spirits. Even if Disney fans don't much about Snow White, this quote is one of the most well-known. Even fans who don't the specific words will the tune. The whistled notes of the song have become an Easter egg in some modern Disney tales.

20 "Mark My Words, There’s Trouble A-Brewin’. Felt It Coming All Day. My Corns Hurt!”

Grumpy

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs differs slightly from the original tale published in the 1800s. In the book, the dwarfs had different names, but in the movie, the dwarfs are named after their specific personality traits. Grumpy is obviously one of the angrier dwarfs, but he is also one of the more iconic ones.

Upon entering their home, the dwarfs realize the lights are on, and their chimney is smoking. They don't know Snow White is inside and assume it is a dragon or some other kind of monster. Grumpy its he knew something bad was going to happen that day because the "corns" on his feet hurt more than usual. This humorous line breaks up the frightful energy for kids in the audience and showcases his personality perfectly. It's also a nice nod for adults who understand that when someone is grumpy, every little inconvenience feels like more trouble than it's worth.

19 “With A Smile And A Song, Life Is Just Like A Bright Sunny Day. Your Cares Fade Away.”

Snow White

After Snow is banned from her normal life because the Evil Queen wants to eliminate her, she hides in the forest and makes friends with the wildlife. To make herself feel better, she sings "With a Smile and a Song" to the birds and deer. While it's not the most iconic song in the movie, it's always ed that Snow White can speak with the animals.

Singing this song helps Snow face her fears and recenter herself. Lyrics like "Life is like a bright sunny day, your cares fade away" are charming and positive. No matter how bad Snow has it, this line makes her optimistic. And while Snow White doesn't have Disney's best songs, they are definitely some of the more upbeat. It's why so many fans Snow White as one of the most optimistic of Disney princesses despite her darker storyline.

18 “What Are Wicked Wiles?” “I Don’t Know!”

Bashful & Grumpy

When the dwarfs first see Snow sleeping in their bed, their outlooks on what to do differ from each other. They aren't sure if they should wake her up, kick her out, or just let her be. Grumpy makes his feelings on the subject known when he tells the group that "all females is poison, they're full of wicked wiles!"

It's his own fears and resistance to change that actually make him "grumpy" during the events of the movie.

And if audiences aren't sure what a 'wicked wiles' is, they aren't alone. Bashful adorably asks Grumpy what it is and Grumpy has no answer. This Snow White quote is one of the best because it shows that Grumpy has no idea what he's talking about and just spouting nonsense because of his own preconceived fears. It's his own fears and resistance to change that actually make him "grumpy" during the events of the movie.

17 "I’m Sure I’ll Get Along Somehow. Everything’s Going To Be Alright."

Snow White

This quote is one for the audience to take to heart. Snow White’s graceful way under pressure and hardship is one of the loveliest parts about her as she's always sure she will find a way to keep going, and this quote truly encapsulates that. Although nothing is simple for Snow White, she chooses to look on the bright side and feels confident in herself and her ability to move forward.

Snow's positive outlook makes her one of the more intelligent characters in Snow White because she doesn't focus on the negative. Thinking positively and believing in one’s self can go an incredibly long way, making this one of the best quotes in the movie. Despite leaving her home with nothing, Snow White is determined to make friends with woodland creatures, form an agreement with the people whose home she breaks into, and find a way to survive her evil stepmother's machinations.

16 “Lips Red As The Rose, Hair Black As Ebony, Skin White As Snow.”

Magic Mirror

The magic mirror is referenced or mimicked Snow White, making him a popular figure in the Disney world. While it's not clear how the magical being came to exist, or how the queen obtained him, the magic mirror is an important character within this movie, and he is the one who does the job of describing exactly what Snow White looks like.

When he's asked who the fairest of them all is, he makes it clear that it is Snow, and he sets up her appearance perfectly, honoring her description from the fairy tale where her story originates. It's a great quote, which sums up her appearance perfectly so that audiences know who he's talking about. "Lips as red as the rose" is a classic quote that Disney fans know is about Snow White without much background, which is why it's one of the best.
