comment(s) / add a comment. Greetings to all! It's Labour day today! Happy holidays everyone! It's time for Phantasia Trivia again! Since it's Labour day, we will be sharing with you TWO trivias in a row. First stop, let us look into the magical mirror to find... Snow White! Do you know?? "Snow White" is a fairy tale known from many countries in Europe, the best known version being the German one collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1812 (German: Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"). As we all know, the story evolves around a beautiful princess, Snow White who has the skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony. After her mother, the Queen's death, the king had remarried a new wife who possess a magical mirror, which answer to any question. Often she would ask the mirror, β Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?β and the mirror would reply, β You, my queen are the fairest of allβ. But when Snow White reaches the age of seven, she becomes as beautiful as the day, and when the queen asks her mirror, it responds: "Queen, you are full fair, 'tis true, but Snow White is fairer than you." The queen becomes jealous and therefore find ways to kill Snow White, in which she killed her with a poisoned apple. However there are many variations to the story that many of us may not have read about : 1. The Queen had tried 3 times to kill Snow White while the seven dwarfs are away a) First, disguised as apeddler, the Queen offers colorful stay-laces and laces Snow White up so tight that she faints, causing the Queen to leave her dead on the floor. However, Snow White is revived by the dwarfs when they loosen the laces. b) Next, the Queen dresses as a different old woman and brushes Snow White's hair with a poisoned comb. Snow White again collapses, but again is saved by the dwarfs. c) Finally, the Queen makes a poisoned apple, and in the disguise of a farmer's wife, offers it to Snow White. When she is hesitant to accept it, the Queen cuts the apple in half, eats the white part and gives the poisoned red part to Snow White. She eats the apple eagerly and immediately falls into a deep stupor. When the dwarfs find her, they cannot revive her, and they place her in a glasscoffin, assuming that she is dead. 2. How Snow White is revive? Time passes, and a prince traveling through the land sees Snow White. He strides to her coffin. The prince is enchanted by her beauty and instantly falls in love with her. He begs the dwarfs to let him have the coffin. The prince's servants carry the coffin away. While doing so, they stumble on some roots and the movement causes the piece of poisoned apple to dislodge from Snow White's throat, awakening her However in later adaptions of the tale, the prince kisses Snow White, which brings her back to life. Next stop, we will be flying to the island of Neverland with Peter Pan's fairy friend, Tinkle Bell! Do you know?? Tinkle Bell sometimes spelled as Tinkerbell, also referred to as Tink for short,is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy. She has appeared in multiple film and television adaptations of the Peter Pan stories, in particular the 1953 animated Walt Disney picture ' Peter Pan '. In her animated form she leaves a trail of twinkling pixie dust. Tinker Bell was described by Barrie as a fairy who mended pots and kettles, like an actual tinker. Her speech consists of the sounds of a tinkling bell, which is understandable only to those familiar with the language of the fairies. In the original stage productions, she was represented on stage by a darting light "created by a small mirror held in the hand off-stage and reflecting a little circle of light from a powerful lamp" and her voice was a "a collar of bells and two special ones that Barrie brought from Switzerland". However, a Miss 'Jane Wren' was listed among the cast on the programmes as playing Tinker Bell: this was a joke which also helped with the mystique of the fairy character, as well as fooled HM Inspector of Taxes who sent Jane Wren a tax demand. Though sometimes ill-tempered, spoiled, and very jealous and vindictive, at other times she is helpful and kind to Peter. The extremes in her personality are explained in-story by the fact that a fairy's size prevents her from holding more than one feeling at a time, so when she is angry she has no counterbalancing compassion. Fairies cannot fly in the rain but can enable others to fly by sprinkling them with fairy dust (sometimes called "pixie dust" by Disney, and presented as "starstuff" in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's novel series). At the end of the novel the suggestion is that Tinker Bell has died the year after Wendy and the Darlings leave Neverland, and Peter has no memory of her at all. Disney Version In her most widely known appearance in the 1953 animated Peter Pan film, the character was animated and had no dialogue. Tinker Bell has been one of Disney's most important branding icons for over half a century, and is generally known as "a symbol of 'the magic of Disney'." She has been featured in television commercials and program opening credits sprinkling pixie dust with a wand in order to shower a magical feeling over various other Disney personalities, though the 1953 animated version of Tinker Bell never actually used a wand. In the picture and the official Disney Character Archives, she is referred to as a pixie. She is also featured in the opening of all Disney films flying over the Magic Castle (in a counter-clockwise direction, right to left).
