Snow White, imprisoned daughter of the late king, escapes just as the Magic Mirror declares her the source of the Evil Queen's immortality. The Queen sends her men, led by a local huntsman, to bring her back. But upon her capture, the huntsman finds he's being played and turns against the Queen's men, saving Snow White in the process. Meanwhile, Snow's childhood friend, William, learns that she is alive and sets off to save her.

Durham Cathedral, in the north of England, was one of the key influences for Ravenna's throne room. Production designer Dominic Watkins traveled the length and breadth of England, visiting all the main cathedrals in the country for inspiration.

Goofs

When Finn sets out in pursuit of Snow White, the film makes the point that William is the only bowman. Yet later, when Finn makes his attack on the faerie forest, the white hart is killed by an arrow. The bowman can't have been William because this would be out of character. William is working against Finn and has been shown to be kind hearted.

The "bowman" is not William, as it clearly shows a different man.

Quotes

[first lines]
The Huntsman: [narration] Once upon a time, in deep winter, a queen was admiring the falling snow, when she saw a rose blooming in defiance of the cold. Reaching for it she pricked her finger and three drops of blood fell. And because the red seemed so alive against the white she thought, "If only I had a child as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as a raven's wings, and all with the strength of that rose." Soon after a daughter was born to the queen and was named Snow White.

Wow. It's really bad.

Kristen Stewards deserves an anti Oscar award. The birds in the movie had better emotions than her.
