This is Not A Book For Kids Faint of Heart or Queasy. You've been warned. This is an extremely dark and graphic movie script, Skylights- Lumna10.

Fade to Grimhile's castle, throne room. The Queen is standing before the Magic Mirror holding the box she gave to Humbert.
Grimhilde asks it. "Magic Mirror on the wall, who now is the fairest one of all?"
Magic Mirror answers her. "Over the seventh jeweled hills, beyond the seventh fall, in the cottage of the seven dwarfs, dwells Snow White, Fairest One of All."
Grimhilde calmly stated. "Snow White lies dead in the forest. The Huntsman has brought me proof." She opens the box. "Behold, her heart."
Magic Mirror responds. "Snow White yet lives, the fairest in the land. It is the heart of a pig you hold in your hand."
Grimhilde gasped. "The heart of a pig?!Then I've been tricked!"
Grimhilde marches down a spiral staircase into the basement. As she reaches the end, she goes through a door into a secluded laboratory. Sitting on a skull is Grimhilde's pet, a crow, who awakens with a start as the Queen locks the door behind her.
Grimhilde boomed. "The heart of a pig! The blundering fool!" She throws the lock-box down in frustration. "I'll go myself to the dwarfs' cottage in a disguise so complete no one will ever suspect." She reaches on to a bookshelf and takes the one book titled "Disguises" Now, a formula to transform my beauty into ugliness, change my queenly raiment to a peddler's cloak.
Grimhilde turns to a page titled, "Peddler's Disguise". The ingredients are Mummy Dust, Black of Night, Old Hag's Cackle and Shriek of Fright.
Grimhilde adds speaking aloud to herself Mummy dust to make me old. To shroud my clothes, the Black of Night.
She takes a vial of black liquid adds a drop to a glass at what appears to be distilled water, turning it black. "To age my voice, an Old Hag's Cackle."
She turns a burner under a vial of red liquid to high, causing it to boil over and flow into the glass, a cackling laugh filling the air as it does so. "To whiten my hair, a Shriek of Fright."
She turns a handle on a rusty-looking container and green liquid pours out from inside while a ghostly clouds lets out a loud, anguished shriek.
"A blast of wind...." As she says this, a sudden gust fills the room. Grimhilde continues to talk to herself. "To fan my hate! A thunderbolt...." A bolt of thunder strikes against the potion, making it fizz.
"To mix it well. Now, begin thy magic spell."
Grimhilde takes the glass and drinks down every single drop of the potion. Suddenly, she drops the glass on the floor, clutching her throat and gasping for air as the room starts to spin. Her transformation begins with her hair, flailing about as it turns white. Then, she looks at her hands as they suddenly start to turn clawed and bony.
Grimhilde: Look! My hands!
A few moments later, Grimhilde eventually says something while her transformation finishes its curse.
Grimhilde in a cracked voice. "My voice! My voice!" continuous echoey cackling as
she reveals her new appearance; a skeletal, witchy-looking hag with a warty nose and pasty-white hair in a jet-black cloak.
Grimhilde laughing heartedly. "A perfect disguise!"
She cackles once more as the absolutely terrified crow falls into a skull.
Grimhilde announced to herself. "And now...a special sort of death for one so fair." She leafs through a spellbook. "What shall it be? AH!!"
Her shout frightens the crow so much, he falls behind his perch "A poisoned apple! "Sleeping Death". Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!" She continued reading aloud. "One taste of the Poisoned Apple, and the victim's eyes will close forever in the Sleeping Death."

Fade to the Dwarfs' house. Our heroes have finished eating dinner and are now enjoying a dance feast. The dwarfs are yodeling whilst playing music. Doc is strumming a cello, Sneezy is playing a lute and Bashful, an accordion while Happy and Dopey do-si-do. They break it up for a second before doing another one as Snow White claps her hands. Doc yodels afterwards.
Bashful yodeling.
Sneezy yodels for a while as Dopey follows the lump on his throat, which moves as he sings. Off in a corner, Grumpy is playing a wooden organ, whose pipes have carved with different types of animals. He is sitting on the pedals, and not on a bench as one will expect. Soon, he plays a tune and Happy steps forward. He spoke aloud. "Ahem!"
Happy sings in a marching tone. "🎵I'd like to dance and tap my feet, but they won't keep in rhythm. You see, I washed them both today and I can't do nothing with them.🎵"
All other Dwarfs except Grumpy singing. "🎵Ho-hum, the tune is dumb, the words don't mean a fact. Isn't this a silly song for anyone to sing?🎵"
Off in another corner, Dopey uses several drumsticks to beat on a wooden xylophone, then on a drum. As he does so, his drumsticks fly up into the air, slide through his coat and hit another drum, creating a rim shot as the last one hits a cymbal. In the center of the room, the silly tune plays again as Happy and Sneezy urge Bashful to sing before Snow White. "🎵I- 🎵" He gets stuck in his giggles. Grumpy tries the tune again, but Bashful is yet having trouble making his words come out. "Oh, g-g-g-gawrsh!"
The entire room, except for an annoyed Grumpy, bursts out laughing. The latter, however, hits his hands on the things, causing the organ to let out a loud, anguished yell.
Bashful singing. "🎵I chased a polecat up a tree way out upon a limb. And if he has the best of me, I have the worst of him.🎵"
Dwarfs singing. "🎵Ho-hum, the tune is dumb, the words don't mean a fact. Isn't this a silly song for anyone to sing?🎵"
Cut to Dopey beating a cymbal in front to where Snow White is sitting. Then the princess kicks the cymbal as Dopey puts it on his head and sidesteps off-screen. Then Happy steps in and yodels swiftly. Snow White decides to join in, singing a high note. In another corner, Sleepy, who has been playing a flute, yawns as the fly from earlier flies into his mouth. As he sees the fly, he tries to catch it. Later, Doc offers Snow White a dance, and just like Happy and Dopey before, they do-si-do, breaking it up with Bashful and Sneezy before getting back to Doc again. Dopey is off drumming as he sees a fly. In an attempt to hit it, he instead hits several drums, culminating in a percussion solo which wears him out. Then the fly lands on Sleepy's nose. He gets ready to swat it as Dopey hands him a cymbal, and just as he's about to hit the fly, it flies away and his face shakes from the impact. Soon, Snow White is dancing in the middle of the room. Grumpy continues to play the organ, which works for a while until a note gets stuck. Annoyed, he shuts the mouths with the stuck note and plays a descending scale which ends with a wooden bird hatching out of an egg, giving a single chirp. Soon everyone is dancing all around the room and the dwarfs give a cheer to show the wonderful time they and their guests are having, while the animals swing to the music by the window. Later, Dopey, who is wearing a coat twice his size, jumps on Sneezy's head and tries to balance himself, all the while rubbing the latter's nose with his feet.
Sneezy warned. "Be care--watch out. B-B-Be care...watch it, watch it, watch it, watch...w-w...AAHHHH----" As he is about to sneeze, but Dopey blocks his nose just in time. "Thanks." responds Sneezy.
Then Dopey buttons up the coat and Sneezy walks him toward the others, the former snapping his fingers all the while. As they see the now tall dwarf, some of them start laughing at the somehow silly sight. Dopey bows to Snow White, who curtsies at the former's dance invitation, as he suddenly starts to lose his balance. Dopey is about to fall over as Sneezy reaches out an arm from behind and pulls the former back up just before he hits the floor. The others, yet laughing, breathe a sigh of relief and the dance music resumes. Then Dopey leads Snow White into the middle of the room as they start their dance. He swings his head happily, knowing that he's dancing with the princess. Meanwhile, Sneezy does his best to copy her foot motions, as well as keep his top half balanced. As Doc strums his cello, Sneezy starts to run around as Dopey hangs around Snow White in an elbow swing. Soon after, they break into a Russian dance while the dwarfs constantly say "Hey!". After a second, the music's tempo starts to rise until suddenly, Dopey is happily dancing as he hears Sneezy down below
Sneezy exclaims. "Ah-ch...ah-ch...ah-ch...ah...ooh...ah-ch--"
Dopey reacts fearfully, as Sneezy is about to sneeze. Snow White covers her ears, and everyone else scrambles for hiding places as Sneezy's sneeze reaches critical mass. Dopey mistakenly covers his nose, but it's no use.
Sneezy exclaims again. "Ah-ch-ch...ah-ch-ch...ah-ch-ah...ah-ch-ch...ah-ch...ah-ah-AAHHHH....AH-CHOOOOOOOO!!"
The blast of air from Sneezy's sneeze inflates Dopey's coat, and he bursts out like a cork. As the coat flops down to the floor and reveals Sneezy, everyone, except Grumpy, bursts out laughing at the hilarious sight as Dopey climbs down from the rafter he got blown into.
Snow White chuckles. "That was fun!"
Happy informs her. "Now you do something."
