Plot summary
The evil, long-nosed queen, who must rule in a land of ugly women, asks the magic mirror in her hand who's the fairest in the land, and the mirror replies that she is. But into the queen's cave walks Betty Boop, so beautiful that even the icicles hanging over the entrance curl up to let her through. She sings that she wants to see her stepmama, and the icicles form faces to sing along with her. Koko the Clown and Bimbo the Dog, both in suits of armor, are guarding the entrance. They are smitten, too.
Betty walks into the throne room and immediately the queen burns with jealousy, as we can see when her face becomes a frying pan and her eyes sizzling eggs. She asks her mirror again who is the fairest. The magic mirror, with arms on its handle, says "you" are the fairest in the land; but he's pointing at Betty. She orders that Betty's head be chopped off, which she demonstrates by using two of her fingers to chop off a third.
Later, Betty is tied to a tree, out in the cold and snow. Koko weeps as he sharpens his ax; Bimbo weeps as he brushes off the tree stump for her head. An open grave is waiting for Betty, but Koko and Bimbo can't kill her. Instead they bury the grinding stone and the tree stump, but fall into the grave themselves, which is a deep, deep hole. But it leads back outside, where they hit the grinding stone, knocking themselves out.
Meanwhile, the tree sets Betty free, and lays her garter over the grave to make it look as if she has been buried there.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Snow-White (1933)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Koko's dancing in the "St. James Infirmary Blues" number was rotoscoped from footage of Cab Calloway, and includes moves that look like the much later "moonwalk" and "dab".
- Roland Crandall animated virtually the whole film himself, getting the chance to make Snow-White solo as a reward for his several years of devotion to Fleischer Studios; it took six months to complete.
- In 1994 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
