The Legend of Snow White (白雪姫の伝説, Shirayuki Hime no Densetsu) is a Japanese anime series produced by Tatsunoko Production, based on the 1812 European fairy tale.

The little girl grows happy and healthy, and when her 4th birthday arrives, her parents give her three delightful pets for her presents: a puppy, a cat and a dove.

Soon, Queen Isabelle falls ill and dies, after which Lady Chrystal takes her place, who turns out to be not only an evil, selfish, ambitious woman, she also indulges in the black art of sorcery.

Later, when the Evil Queen makes an attempt to kill Snow White due to her famed beauty, the little girl ends up in a cozy little cottage, house to the seven dwarfs who eventually befriend her and conjure to protect her from all harms inflicted by her stepmother.

But during the Queen's last attempt, she finally succeeds to put her in an enchanted sleep - by means of a poisoned apple - in order to take over her body, for hers is aging rapidly due to use of sorcery against a pure soul.
