Short description

When young Lili's mother dies in childbirth, her father remarries Lady Claudia, a woman ruled by an evil mirror with the power to make her queen of all living things. After escaping an attempt on her life, Lili finds herself lost in a dark forest, where living happily ever after seems unlikely.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Lillian's condition after eating the poisoned apple is referred to as "locked-in syndrome" or "pseudocoma," in which she is as if "locked" in her own body; consciousness and sensitivity are fully preserved, and communication with others is only possible by blinking or moving her eyes vertically.
  • According to Sigourney Weaver, one of the reasons she wanted to play the Evil Queen was to understand how the king could have been so foolish as to marry such a cruel woman, and one willing to commit murder, so she wanted to show that the stepmother had the best intentions.
  • The role of Lillian, or Snow White, was originally written for Alicia Silverstone.
  • According to Sigourney Weaver, one of the reasons she wanted to play the 'Evil Queen' was a desire to understand how a king could be so foolish as to marry such a cruel woman, one who was even willing to commit murder; thus, she wanted to show that the stepmother actually had the best of intentions.
