As one of the most well-known fairy tales, ＂Snow White story＂ has gone through many adaptation processes for a long time. Among those processes, Brother Grimms＇ Snow White and Disney＇s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs show some remarkable relationships between the source and target materials, because Disney adapted the Grimms＇ version of Snow White for their film version of Snow White. This paper will focus on the similarities between the Grimms＇ Snow White and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in adapting from one genre to another. The Grimms collected as many different oral tales of ＂Snow White＂ as they could and wrote them down into letters. While they recorded these tales, they chopped and combined them to fit in the category of pre-Christian Teutonic literature. Disney Production also selected one of various versions of ＂Snow White story＂ and realized to put it into the silver screen. Disney changed, added, omitted and modified some plots of the Grimms＇ Snow White again. This time, the changes were made to appeal this movie to the audiences of the 20th century.展开更多
