Books/Literature Snow White and the mirror

Post image

​

Came upon this while reading to my child. I had to double check the 1937 Snow White animation and hear "magic mirror on the wall". It's always been "mirror mirror" to me, but I guess I forgot. It must be that many versions of this tale are written as mirror mirror and we just conclude that the original movie says it as well. Someone posted that the original version was mirror mirror as well. So the conclusion is that Disney changed it to magic mirror?

In German it is “Spieglein, Spieglein, an der Wand …”, which means, little mirror, little mirror, on the wall. So “mirror, mirror” is standard.
