We opened to a shower of light descends from the top of the screen, forming a stylized, segmented Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty castle. The segments seem to be spaced further apart by the time the light reaches the bottom. Through the main gate of the castle, a white ball of light forms, but extends out to form the words "WALT DiSNEY" in the familiar corporate "Disney" logo font. The word "PICTURES", in a Lubalin Graph-Book font, fades in underneath. Then a ball of light appears on the right side of the castle and draws a circular line over it. We opened to a small storybook opens. It is titled: Kurt Hummel and the Seven Dwarfs. It says, "Once upon a time, there lived a handsome little prince named Kurt Hummel. His vain and wicked stepmother, Sue Sylvester, feared that someday Kurt's beauty would surpass her own. Then she dressed the little prince in rags and forced him to work as a scullery maid. (the page turns) Each day, the vain Marsha consulted her Magic Mirror, "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" And as long as the Mirror responded, "you are the fairest one of all". Kurt was safe from Marsha's cruel jealousy." Fade to Sue's throne room. She approaches the Magic Mirror and gets ready to summon the spirit within.

Sue: Slave in the Magic Mirror, come from the farthest space. (as she speaks, the wind blows fiercely inside the mirror) Through wind and darkness, I summon thee. Speak! (a thunderclap sounds, and a wildfire consumes her reflection) Let me see thy face.

The fire subsides, revealing the face of the mirror's spirit, eagerly but patiently awaiting whatever questions his mistress may have

Magic Mirror: What wouldst thou know, my Queen Sue?

Sue: Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?

Magic Mirror: Famed is thy beauty, Majesty. But hold, a handsome boy I see. Rags cannot hide his gentle grace. Alas, he is more fair than thee.

Annoyed that one maiden dares to opponent her beauty, Sue becomes worried and crosses her arms

Sue: Alas for him! Reveal his name!

Magic Mirror: Lips pale as the pink rose. Hair chestnut brown. Skin white porcelain as snow.

Sue silently gasps to herself, as her worst fears of her stepson's beauty exceeding her own have eventually come to pass.

Sue: (frustrated) Kurt Hummel!
