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 Disneys most iconic and menacing first villains, once being voted the 1. 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 1. 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 seem 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. The Queen is, along with Maleficent, one of the most prominent of the Disney Villains. Background. Development. Design and animation. The Evil Queens early designs. In the early stages of design, the Queen was drawn as a fat, frumpy, comical character, in the style of the characters of the Silly Symphonies. The Fleisher Betty Boop short Snow White, which, like much of Fleishers work, had probably been studied by Disneys animators, also has a fat, ugly Queen. However, when Albert Hurter introduced a more realistic style of character design to the Disney animators, it was ultimately decided that the Queen should be more beautiful, regal, cold and sinister, creating a much scarier character than had ever been attempted in animation before. Rather than a comical villain, she became a femme fatale, a type of character with which the Disney artists would have been familiar, through the silent screen at the same time she is a figure from ancient Europe, viewed by American audiences in the 1. The Queens costume is rumored to be based on that worn by Helen Gahagan in the 1. She, though animator Art Babbit and other Disney artists have denied this. At a meeting on October 3. Disney suggested that the papier mache masks by Art Deco illustrator Vladislav Theodor Benda an influence on Joe Grants work be used as inspiration for the Queens face. Her Hollywood mask of a face may also draw inspiration from Joan Crawford, particularly in the lips and eyes. The Queens costume and general silhouette may have been inspired by a column statue at Naumburg Cathedral depicting Uta, wife of the Margrave of Meissen. There are also facial similarities to George de Feures La Femme au chapeau noir 1. Babbit based the Queen on all of the women Ive ever known, and noted that, while the animation of the Queen relied, to an extent, on live action footage, he felt the need to caricature and invent in order to justify the medium of animation the animation was not rotoscoped as the Princes was. Concept art of the Witch offering the poisoned apple to Snow White. The Witch resembles hags in European illustrations of fairy tales, in particular Arthur Rackhams illustration for Hansel and Gretel a similar character was used in the Silly Symphonies short, Babes in the Woods. Disney may also have been influenced by stage traditions, such as transformation scenes in which the hag is transformed into a beautiful fairy that were later used for Beauty and the Beast in 1. Many of the artists at the studio tried designs for the Queens Witch form Joe Grants pastel designs for the character were ultimately approved and used as the model for the animators to follow. Norman Ferguson was thought to have been cast as animator of the Witch because of his skill at creating a lifelike effect while not actually being able to animate a living creature. He initially found difficulty in animating the Witch, as her illustration influenced design was not thought to lend itself perfectly to animation, and there was concern that the witch would amuse, rather than intimidate, the audience. However, Ferguson animated the Witch with respect to acting and personality rather than inner emotions. He set part of the Witchs phrases to the melody of a popular song of the time and animated to this rhythm, singing to himself as he drew. Notably, the Witch is the only character who occasionally looks directly into the camera and appear to address the audience it is likely that this is because Fergusons approach was inspired by vaudeville performers. Live action footage for the Witch was shot of actors Don Brodie and Moroni Olsen, who performed in drag. Fergusons animation was also partially influenced by Lionel Barrymores drag performance in The Devil Doll. As a result, the Witch possesses certain masculine qualities that make her seem more aggressive and dangerous. John Lounsbury was Fergusons assistant in animating the Witch, and animated the scene in which the Witch disappears underneath a trapdoor, cackling that Snow White will be buried alive. In story meetings concerning the transformation sequence, and the sequence at the cauldron, Walt Disney made reference to Dr. Rotwang Rotwangs laboratory in Fritz Langs Metropolis and the scene in Macbeth in which the three witches brew their potion. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is another influence. The sequence in which the Witch rows a boat from the catacombs underneath the castle suggests the influence of an illustration of Charon by Gustave Dore for Dantes Inferno. Voice. Lucille La Verne was first asked to provide only the voice of Vengeance in A Tale of Two Cities,3 but read for both parts and was later offered the part of the Queen when no other actress was found. Some at the studio felt that her voice was too deep, but David Hand argued that she knew how to deliver lines, particularly when adding ingredients to the potion. Bill Cottrell and Joe Grant were in charge of La Vernes recording session. Evil Queen Once Upon a Time Wiki. Regina is born to Prince Henry, the son of a wealthy king named Xavier, and Cora, the daughter of a poor miller. Cora comes into power by learning to spin straw into gold under Rumplestiltskins instruction, which makes the kingdom rich and garners a marriage proposal from Prince Henry. When her daughter is born, Cora names her Regina, who she proclaims will become queen one day. The Millers DaughterSome years after this, Regina is now a young child. In her mothers study, she is playing with her doll Isabella, when Cora walks in. Regina invites her to play, but Cora declines, saying she is too busy. When the girl points out that her mother never has time to play, Cora reminds Regina of the story she once told her about her own childhood, in which she worked in the mill all day and learned to depend on only herself. After locking a box away in a drawer, Cora leaves the room, promising to see her daughter at dinner later. Regina notices her mother forgot to remove the key from the drawer, and she curiously opens it to see an intricate box. Not knowing the box is sealed with blood magic, she unlocks it just by touching it and finds Coras wand inside. Regina uses the wand on her doll, but the magic backfires onto her, knocking her unconscious. Upon finding her daughter in this state, Cora realizes the only magic that can heal Regina now is from someone who is close to her and who hasnt harmed her. From Oz, Cora returns home with Reginas older half sister, Zelena. Without receiving any instruction on how to cure Regina, Zelena effortlessly channels her magic into the unconscious girl, because of her deep desire to use her powers for good. Shortly after waking up, Regina meets Zelena for the first time. The two become fast friends, and one morning, Regina sneaks out of bed to play dress up with Zelena. When Regina pulls out a necklace from the drawer, Zelena sees the box and unlocks it, causing Regina to suspect they are related. They ask Cora, who admits the girls are siblings, with Regina hopeful about being a family with Zelena. Cora chides Regina for this, as she believes her daughter should depend on herself only, and if people find out about Zelena, everything shes worked towards for Reginas sake will be undone. On Coras orders, guards take Zelena away as she and Regina hold onto each other, until the two are pried apart. Regina vows to Zelena that they will always be sisters no matter what and that she will find her again, but Cora ensures this never happens, by having both girls take a potion to forget each other. SistersAfter several more years, Regina gains a fondness for horseback riding and owns a beloved horse she names Rocinante. While riding one day, she meets the stableboy Daniel for the first time. They fall in love, but the relationship remains secret since Cora has high expectations for her. At some point, Daniel tells her about his brother, William, who left a long time ago for a faraway realm. On her home estate, Regina gives a riding demonstration to her father, who praises her riding skills, while Cora openly criticizes her for not using a saddle and the fact she is still unmarried. Daniel approaches to offer a saddle, but an upset Regina snaps at him in refusal and begins walking off when Cora magically levitates her into the air. Terrified at her mothers magic, Regina promises to be good, to which Cora finally lets her go. Meeting Daniel in the stables later, she apologizes for treating him badly earlier. The couple then make up with a kiss. The Stable Boy, Out of the Past, Page 2. Cora, setting her sights on installing Regina as King Leopolds queen, purposefully sets up a riding session with Rocinante for her and then tells her. Busy reading a book, Regina distractedly thanks Cora and later heads out to the stables, where she and Daniel have a rendezvous. He suggests they have a romantic outing at Firefly Hill, but she cant since Cora is expecting her for afternoon tea later. They talk about their love, which continues to be a secret since her mother wants her to marry well. Regina alludes to Coras magic being very strong, though Daniel believes their true love for each other is the most powerful magic of all. As they lean in to kiss, both hear a scream from a young girl on a runaway horse. Unknown to them, this girl is Snow White, King Leopolds daughter, whose horse Cora had intentionally startled in order for Regina to rescue her. Acting quickly, Regina catches up to the girls horse with Rocinante and pulls her to safety. King Leopold, as Cora wished for, is so impressed by Reginas feat that he proposes to her. Speechless, she looks to her father for help, but he says nothing as Cora accepts on her behalf. Running to Daniel, Regina begs him to take her away. He agrees by giving her a ring, and as they kiss, Snow White witnesses them and runs away. Regina catches up to the princess, explaining she cannot marry her father, because the love she and Daniel have is true love. She then swears Snow White into secrecy about the relationship. The girl, however, later confesses everything to Cora in a misguided attempt to keep Regina from losing her mother as she did with hers. The Queen Is Dead, The Stable BoyOn the night she and Daniel prepare to leave, Cora blocks them from going. While Cora is furious her daughter is giving up everything for a mere stable boy, Regina attests he makes her truly happy. Cora finally relents, seemingly coming to an understanding, and she reconciles with Regina. Daniel, sympathetic to Coras parental role, expresses gratitude for allowing her daughters happiness. Cora, taking it upon herself to do what she believes is best for Regina, rips out Daniels heart and crushes it. In horror, Regina cradles Daniels body and weeps in despair as her mother insists true happiness comes from the power she will have as the future queen. Sometime after this, a stoic Regina has a wedding dress fitting when Snow White mentions Cora is a good mother for understanding her and Daniels love for each other. When questioned, Snow White hesitantly admits telling Cora about Daniel due to her fear that Regina would lose her mother as she herself had. Turning away from the girl, Regina reacts in shock, but she regains calm to spare Snow Whites feelings. Regina lies, saying Daniel ran away, but that she is happy to marry King Leopold and become her stepmother. Once Snow White exits, Cora praises Regina credit for living up to her expectations. Suspiciously, Regina questions her mother about purposely causing the princess horse to run wild so she would save her and gain King Leopolds attention, but Cora claims she had nothing to do with it. Walking off, Reginas expression contorts into anger as she expresses regrets over not letting Snow White die on her horse. The Stable BoyAs the wedding day approaches, Regina desperately tries to flee on horseback, only to be stopped ruthlessly by Cora. Following a suggestion from her father, Regina steals her mothers spell book, which she unknowingly uses to summon its creator, Rumplestiltskin. He offers to help her get rid of Cora, though Regina is against physically harming anyone, so she is given a magic mirror. Rumplestiltskin instructs her to give Cora a little push into the mirror, which will then send her to another world. She questions what he wants in return. Mysteriously, he confirms that someday she will do him favor. On the day of the wedding, Cora steps into Reginas room and notices the mirror. As Regina looks into both of their reflections, Cora schools her on being the heart of the commoners once she becomes queen, and since the king is weak, they can kill him to own the throne entirely. This is not something Regina is looking forward to, and as she moves to give her mother a shove into the mirror, Cora freezes her in place. Cora chastises Regina for the attempt to get rid of her as Rumplestiltskin materializes in the mirror to give encouragement.
