I have questions about the title of this movie and how is relates to the story. Is her name really 'Snow White', and if so why? I mean, is it that she's as good as pure cocaine? Is being with her gonna give the prince some euphoric high? Am I the only one wondering about this, and yet see this 'adult' potential in this one?

I found an oh so not appropriate link for you Wan. Google 'snow white porn' and click on the Youporn link.
Damn Germans!

WTF are you talking about, Wan? Disney's Snow White is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale collection from the 1800's... which is based is folk tales from maybe a couple of hundred years before that... So, conservatively, we're talking about a 3-400 year-old story.
Her name has nothing to do with cocaine. In the original story, her mother wished for a daughter with "skin as white as snow". She had the daughter and named her Snow White. No porn aspect, no cocaine parallel, no conspiracy - just a fairy tale from three or four centuries ago.
Snow White is a classic good vs. evil story. Most people would say that the heroine has "snow white skin" and has the "Snow White" moniker as a metaphor for purity or good. "Pure as the driven snow" ring any bells? You think maybe snow existed long before purified cocaine?
You guys think of cocaine and porn when you think of Snow White? You guys kill me. Did some of you not have any childhood at all?
Don't take this the wrong way, but thank GOD you're NOT having children, Wan.

I'm not trolling. I had no idea regarding the basis for the name. And I only looked to joke about the basis in speculation.
Apparently I am not the only one that wonders about the possibilities.

You have got to be kidding me. You had no idea that Snow White was based on an old fairy tale? And even if you didn't, you thought maybe ol' Walt was hiding drug and porn messages in a movie made 72 years ago!?? (Yeah, he was known for making a lot of subversive drug-culture movies, you betcha...  )
While plenty of people SINCE then have seen the porn possibilities (as they have with just about every movie ever made), 10 seconds of searching would have disabused you of any suspicion that Disney was pushing drugs in the '30s. Google is your friend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White

I have an old Laser disk of the film. It seemed to me the original Snow White in the Disney movie was somewhat of a bimbo. Not very complementary of women, did they change that in the new version?
