10 years later, Snow White desires to explore the kingdom and sneaks out. Walking through the forest,
she meets the visiting Prince Andrew Alcott, who has been robbed by a band of Dwarves; she and the
prince become smitten with each other. Snow White arrives in the town, and finds the people are
destitute due to the Queen heavy taxation.
Meanwhile, Clementianna is introduced to Alcott and plans to marry him for his wealth. Clementianna
throws a ball to woo the PrinceDok mi je pusila u oci me gledala, and Snow White secretly attends,
planning to ask the prince to help her restore the kingdom. The Queen notices them dancing and orders
her manservant Brighton to take the princess into the forest and feed her to the Beast. Brighton leaves
Snow White in the forest, and she flees the Beast, collapsing at the door to the Dwarves' hideout; the
dwarves take her in and introduce themselves as Grimm, Butcher, Wolf, Napoleon, Half Pint, Grub, and
Chuck. When Brighton collects more taxes levied by the Queen to pay for her expensive parties, the
Dwarves rob him. Snow White takes the money and returns it to the townspeople, crediting the
Dwarves, whom the people hail as heroes.
Clementianna informs Alcott that Snow White is dead. When the Prince finds out that the bandits have
robbed Brighton, he goes after them. In the forest, Alcott discovers that Snow White is alive and in
league with the Dwarves, who have trained her in combat. Each believing the other to be in the wrong,
Snow White and Alcott duel. Alcott returns to the Palace defeated and informs the Queen that Snow
White is alive. House, within which lives her reflection, the Mirror Queen. Clementianna has the
Mirror Queen temporarily turn Brighton into a cockroach, and requests a love potion so she can make
the prince fall in love with her. The potion turns out to be a 'puppy love' potion and the prince becomes
devoted to her like a puppy dog. Under this spell, the prince agrees to marry her. Using dark magic, the
Queen attacks Snow White and the Dwarves with two giant marionettes; but Snow White defeats them
by finding and cutting their strings.
On the day of her wedding, Clementianna arrives to find that Snow White and the Dwarves have
robbed the party and abducted the Prince; for of her inability to handle bandits and for lying about
Snow White's death, the aristocrats demand the Queen be deposed. Back in the forest, Snow White
manages to break the spell on Alcott with a kiss.
Snow White encounters Clementianna, who sends the Beast after her. Prince Alcott tries to save Snow
White, but the Beast captures her. However, the Beast hesitates in killing her and Snow White sees that
it wears a necklace with a moon charm on it similar to the one the Queen wears. Snow White cuts the
necklace off, breaking Clementianna’s the spell, and restoring the Beast to its true form: Snow White’s
father. Clementianna begins to age rapidly; the Mirror Queen explains this is the price for using dark
magic.
Grateful to Alcott for his assistance, the king agrees to let him marry Snow White. At the wedding, a
hooded crone appears and offers Snow White an apple as a wedding gift. At first, Snow White accepts
the apple; but, as she is about to bite it, she realizes that the crone is Clementianna. Snow White cuts a
piece from the apple and gives it to Clementianna, who reluctantly accepts it. The Mirror House
shatters declaring it Snow White's story after all. Snow White and the Dwarves live happily ever after.

Casting
Roberts was the first to be cast, because very early on Tarsem Singh wanted an Evil Queen with whom
audiences could relate. He stated that in the film, the queen is not evil, but rather insecure. He also
suggested that the Queen's true ugliness may be revealed at the very end of the film.[4] Originally
Saoirse Ronan was considered for the role of Snow White but the age difference between her and
Armie Hammer was too large (he was 25 and she was 17). Felicity Jones was offered the part but
turned it down.[5] Collins was eventually cast in the role.[6] Collins said in an interview that her
casting happened in 24 hours after she met Tarsem Singh and read for him.[7] Hammer was cast as the
prince who is at first drawn towards the Queen and then towards Snow White. He beat out James
McAvoy and Alex Pettyfer for the role.

Production
Filming for Mirror Mirror began on June 20, 2011, in Montreal, Quebec, under the working title
Untitled Snow White Project.[8] Production on the film wrapped in mid-September.[9] The film was
officially titled Mirror Mirror on November 4, 2011. The first trailer was released on November 30,
2011, in partnership with Relativity Media and Trailer Park.[10] The teaser poster was released the
same day. Mirror Mirror was the last film which Tarsem's regular costume designer, Eiko Ishioka,
worked on before her death. The visual effects were designed by Tom Wood and executed by Wayne
Brinton, Tim Carras, Sébastien Moreau and Amanda Dyar. Relativity Media announced the movie's
final cost as being $85 million, though an article in the Los Angeles Times said the true budget was
closer to $100 million.[11]

Release
The film was released in theaters on March 30, 2012.[12]

Box office
On its opening day, Mirror Mirror made $5.8 million, coming in at the No. 3 spot behind The Hunger
Games and Wrath of the Titans.[13] For its opening weekend, the film earned $18.1 million while
holding onto the No. 3 spot at the box office.[14] During its theatrical run, Mirror Mirror grossed $64.9
million in North America and $118.1 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $183
million.[1]

Reception
The film received generally mixed reviews. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating
of 50% with an average score of 5.6/10 based on reviews from 195 critics. The site's general consensus
is that "Like most of Tarsem Singh's films, Mirror Mirror is undeniably beautiful – but its treatment of
the age-old Snow White fable lacks enough depth or originality to set it apart from the countless other
adaptations of the tale."[15] On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 reviews
from film critics, it has an average score of 46 from the 34 reviews, which indicates "Mixed or average
reviews".[16]
Robbie Collin from British newspaper The Telegraph gave the film four stars describing it as "an
exuberantly charming fairy story that owes as much to the gnarled folk tale illustrations of Arthur
Rackham as the stagey, saturated lunacy of that half-loved, half-feared East German fantasy The
Singing Ringing Tree. It's a Grimm piece of work, but far from a grim one: without rehashing the
seminal Disney animated version, it radiates gorgeousness and good humour with a near-nuclear
intensity." Collin praised costume designer Eiko Ishioka's work, saying "every outfit in Mirror Mirror
is a masterpiece". He concluded the film is "the opposite of Tim Burton's brash, chaotic, dispiritingly
popular Alice in Wonderland: here, the artistry of the cast and crew leaps off the screen, not 3D
computer graphics."[17]
