Unlike the modern story, in the original one the king didn't make an annoucement in the magazines.

In the original story, there weren't over ten thousand wanna-be brides.

In contrast to the modern story, the king didn't want a trial for the next brides.

 In the original story the magic mirror was used just for beauty questions while in the alternative one the mirror knows the answer for any question.

Instead of using  formal language, the looking-glass talks using informal language.

In the original story, the Huntsman didn't go to the butcher's; he killed a wild boar for his heart.

In contrast to the alternative story, the Queen didn't eat Snow White's heart.

In the original story, the Dwarfs were miners while in the alternative one, they are betters at horse-races.

In the original story the dwarfs didn't use the magic mirror to foresee  the winner of the horse race.
