Original subtitles

On Christmas,

long, long ago,

in a world where mirrors talk,

where girls were named

after white snow.

Never mind.

You're about to see what unfolds.

Let's see if we can find this perfect gift then, shall we?

Come on.

What's this?

Wait here a moment.

Not there.

Let's go.

It's a peculiar little town, this, isn't it?

Let's, uh, check out the shoes...

Ah, blast it, it's closed.

All right.

I'll just have to keep searching.

Looking wonderful.

Pots, eh? What are you suggesting?

Ah, you.

Ah.

Now that...

That could be interesting.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Come on.

Ah!

Sir?

I'm, uh... I'm looking for a present,

and I know that I've very much procrastinated

till the last minute, but, uh...

Well, you see, I hate shopping.

No time like the present for a present.

Indeed.

How about this?

Eh...

Mm, not really

- what I'm looking for. - Hmm.

This?

Not so much.

I'm looking for something more, um...

Uh... special.

I know.

Let me show you something.

You won't find work like that

just anywhere.

- Oh my... - Not since the fairies left.

This is the work of fairies then?

Made out of magic, dewdrops...

...and cobwebs.

I'll take it.

Wow.

Someone is a lucky lady.

Oh, I assure you,

I'm the lucky one.

What do you think, Fluffy?

Yeah.

I'm so glad we could finish before Prince returned.

He'll be here soon. And in the meantime,

he sent me all his love.

All his love.

I love him so much.

The Queen. The Queen is here!

The Queen! The Queen is here!

Mirror, mirror on the wall.

- Wake up. - Mm, mm...

Wake up!

Wake up!

I was just resting my eyes.

Do your thing.

I'm so happy Prince will be here soon.

Now all we need for a perfect Christmas

is snow.

Look at her, not a care in the world.

Well, she is worried there won't be snow.

Did she send me a Christmas card?

Bring over a batch of cookies?

Invite me to join her for Christmas dinner?

She is a terrible cook.

It's the thought that counts.

You didn't even send me a Christmas card.

I'm sending New Year's cards this holiday. Less stress.

It was nice of Hansel and Gretel to remember me.

Mm-hmm...

They did not send you a Christmas card.

They sent you a summons to appear in court!

It was more than Snow White sent,

that's for sure.

Did you send her a card?

That's not the point. I'm the queen!

I agree.

You're useless today.

It's almost like you want Snow White

to have a better Christmas,

but that's not going to happen.

I'll summon the Huntsman.

He's on vacation in Iberia.

It's warm in Iberia.

The Wolf, then.

Sadly, he and Red Riding Hood declared a truce,

and he'll be spending Christmas at Grandma's house.

What about his cousin?

The Big Bad Wolf is taking anger management classes.

The Warlock.

I'll be back.

Warlock?

Warlock!

Warlock!

Good tidings, my Queen.

Don't do that again.

I'm here to serve you.

I need an enchanted forest

and a maze.

An amazing maze.

Is that one spell or two?

For you?

You've earned three bonus spells in the last month.

Consider this a freebie.

Excellent.

Are you sure you need both an enchanted forest and a maze?

Seems a bit much.

I want the prince far, far away from Snow White.

Easily done.

Why should he and Snow White have all the fun?

I hear you.

It's just not fair.

I know.

After all...

I'm the queen.

Found it.

"Enchanted Forest."

I knew you were the right person for the job.

Put a smidgen of boggy leaves in that bowl.

But how much is a smidgen?

More than a dash, less than a skosh.

Bats' wings.

That will come in handy next Halloween.

Gloomy weather.

No, not that much!

Look,

magic is not a spectator sport.

Let me contact you when the spell is complete.

- But I, but-- - Please.

Please.

Very well.

It's supposed to snow tonight.

Isn't that wonderful?

And then you and I and Prince can make a snowman.

Good night, my love, wherever you are.

I know it's not a five-star stable, but...

we can rough it for one more night, right?

And I'll bet when we get to Snow White's cottage,

she'll have a fat carrot or two for you.

Ah.

Good night, my love.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Right then, straight it is.

Good morning, Fluffy.

It's chilly, isn't it?

Do you think we got some snow?

Let's go and see.

Mm.

Do you want some breakfast?

Let me get a fire started.

Oh, dear.

I know you're hungry.

Just give me a minute, and I'll go get some firewood, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Does this place look familiar to you?

Well, at least it's not snowing.

- Snow! - Elora!

Elora!

Winston, it's so good to see you.

Good to see you too, Snow White.

Oh, Snow, this is Hans. Hans, Snow.

So nice to meet you.

I didn't expect you guys until spring.

Well, we were unexpectedly offered a two-weeks show.

- Yep. - Lucky you.

- Dragon attacked. - Oh, yeah,

but there bad luck was our good fortune.

You know, sometimes you slay the dragon,

- sometime the dragon slays you. - Yeah.

We could have had another engagement right away,

but we decided we needed some downtime.

Yeah, he's sulking because we didn't get

the first year's job in Varovia.

Remember the last time we were there?

Uh, celebrating the King's wedding?

The food was the worst.

Cold ham and dried-out honey bread.

- I love honey bread! - Oh, oh, I can make you

my honey cake.

Uh, please, we don't want to put you to any trouble.

Let us help you

g-gather the-the firewood,

and then you can catch us up about all the gossip.

- Okay? - Okay.

Let's go.

Hmm.

Somebody got too many lumps of coal

when they were a kid.

Mirror, mirror on the wall!

No, not today.

But I wanna get Snow White!

I don't care, I'm the Warlock.

But I'm the Queen.

Who cares?

I'm in charge now.

Not so fast.

Warlock!

- Yes. - How do you feel

about creating some mischief

for Snow White and her three friends?

It would be my diabolical pleasure.

Ah, yes.

Ah.

Have fun.

Will your companions be catching up to you later?

Well...

I'm sad to say there's only the three of us now.

Did they all quit the trip?

No, no,

our lives just went off in different directions.

Vinny came up with a new recipe for ale

and sold it to the King of Iberia

and never has to work again.

His ale was delicious.

I'll see if he'll send you a bottle

from his personal collection.

Francisco opened a tavern.

He always did love food.

What about Andre?

Andre opened his own blacksmith shop.

They will all be

at the Stonehenge Solstice Festival.

I bet you love that festival.

And what about Yuri?

Yuri got married, went on his honeymoon,

but we have not heard from him.

That's where we found this one.

He was sleeping behind the oven and making barley bread.

We offered him a life of adventure and here we are.

That's odd.

What, my love?

I just saw a butterfly.

Seems a little bit cold for a butterfly

- this time of year. - Mm?

- Run! - Ah!

Is... is everyone all right?

I'm fine.

That was no accident.

Was it the butterfly?

I-I've never seen a butterfly like that.

I don't know about you three,

but that's enough excitement for me.

Fluffy!

Well, let's go home

before we run into any other surprises.

- Yeah. - Let's go, honey.

Oh, come on.

I'm not lost, if that's what you're worrying about.

We're just taking the long way around.

If no one else will say it, I will.

Something about this whole thing smells fishy.

But there's no fish in the soup.

I mean, something is not right.

What's with the dry weather?

It should have snowed two days ago.

And that peculiar butterfly. Hans!

I hate to say it, Snow, but...

this has all the earmarks of the Queen,

the Evil Queen.

Not even she would ruin Christmas.

Don't fool yourself.

She has ice water running through her veins, brr!

I think Elora is right on this one.

We need to do something about this whole situation.

We're not even sure she did this.

Hello?

Oh... well, uh, it's time for our walk.

We always stretch our legs after lunch.

- No. - Yes, we do, Hans.

- No. - Yeah, you do.

The Prince!

Hey, stop it!

Oh, that was close.

We should have brought Elora.

She always knows what to do.

I think this is the room we're looking for.

Why this one?

It's the magic room!

How do you know?

- Ah. - Mm-hmm.

Aha.

This proves she's behind it.

- Hans. - Huh?

This proves she's behind it.

Or she could be making tea.

Queens don't make their own tea.

They have people for that.

- Oh. - Mm-hmm.

- Oh! - Uh...

Oh, well, okay.

Shh, shh, shh!

- You shut up! - Shh, shh, shh!

Aha!

Hans.

- Wha-- - Whoa, I-I am so sorry.

I didn't-- Ow!

Ow!

You scared us half to death!

What are you doing here?

You were taking too long.

Look what I found.

Be careful, it's a cookbook.

- It's a spell book. - Oh.

It's a spell book?

Let me see that.

Eh? "Gloomy weather.

Just one drop of gloomy into a kettle."

Elora, be careful.

You don't want to accidentally create something bad.

- I won't. - Mm-hmm.

Here's one to turn someone

- into a hippopotamus! - Ha! We can use it on Winston.

He-he, we can us it on Winston!

- Mm. - Can't believe Queen did this.

I'm so disappointed.

You have a kind soul

and want to see the best in people,

even when there isn't any.

That's one of the things we like about you.

Yeah.

- Any luck? - Uh-huh.

"To stop any spell, dump the kettle contents."

Simple enough.

Oof.

Oh, oh, oh, ow, ow, ow. Stop it. Stop it!

What are you doing with that?

- Put it back. - Why?

If the Queen sees it's missing, she'll know we've been here.

But, but--

Wouldn't you like to be able to turn someone into a hippo

the next time they don't pay us our full price?

Well...

I don't know. Maybe we could--

Uh, no, put it back!

Uh, let's go! Let's go, let's go.

She's coming!

Quick, in there.

Close the door!

We can't stay in here.

We have to figure a way out.

Boo!

Oh.

Nothing.

What are we going to do?

I'm thinking, I'm thinking!

Hans.

Please, don't tell the Queen we're here.

Why? It's Christmas.

She may want to see you.

She's going to turn me into a monkey, I just know it!

- No, no, she won't. - She won't?

No, she'll probably turn you into a hippopotamus.

But now, you and your friends

need to get out of here while you can.

I think she's coming.

Why do I feel like I have uninvited Christmas guests?

That's for me to know and you to find out.

I'll deal with you later.

And meanwhile, they're getting away.

Ah,

I'm sorry about this.

I know you were looking forward to a ration of oats

and a warm stall.

There's got to be a way out of here.

Come on.

She was trying to ruin Christmas.

She cast a spell to hold back the snow.

I know.

I feel bad for her. She's there all alone.

There is no hope for her.

One can always hope.

You know, there's an old showbiz saying,

"Never wear out your welcome."

So maybe we could just...

I never heard that saying.

I'm so sorry, sweetie,

for everything.

But it's Christmas Eve.

Please, don't go.

I don't wanna go home!

I just want to get warm.

I really want you to stay.

Spend Christmas with me.

What about the prince? He could be here anytime.

He will enjoy having you here.

Especially after he hears how you've helped me.

Please, you're family.

And nothing would mean more to me

than spending Christmas with my family.

Very well, we'll stay for Christmas.

Ha-zah!

How did you get so wise?

I learned from you.

Oh.

Let's see how happy she is tomorrow

when she realizes the prince is not coming.

I don't think it's healthy for you

to obsess over Snow White the way you do.

It makes you look overly invested.

Maybe you should, mm, get some hobbies.

Take some cooking lessons.

Start a book club, hmm?

So they think they've stopped me, do they?

We'll just see about that.

She's persistent, I'll give her that.

Warlock?

Warlock!

Stop, I say!

I command you to stop!

Warlock!

What do you think?

Hmm? Nice. Classy.

Goes with your eyes.

The green is nice too.

Both are traditional this time of year.

Oh, my Queen,

uh, do you need a towel?

One more snide remark out of you,

and I'll have someone throw a brick at you.

Maybe you should give up being evil.

I'll ruin Snow White's Christmas if it's the last thing I do!

Plan P!

Do you mean "Plan B"?

P for "Prince," try to keep up.

He's still in the Enchanted Forest.

Bring him to the palace

and don't try to be gentle.

Until later, my Queen.

You made him a happy man.

Well, it is Christmas.

Come. There's a stall in the castle with your name on it.

You'll be quite comfortable.

Hey!

- Look what I found. - Oh. They look lovely.

Yeah.

Hey, now, what's that I see on your face? A frown?

I know it's silly.

I just worry about Prince.

I can't help worrying about him.

I just know that if he was going to be late,

he would've sent a message.

Dragon attack, huh?

Eat, don't talk!

I just know he's in some terrible trouble.

Don't let your imagination get the better of you.

Maybe... it's snowing where he is.

- Erm, the roads are blocked. - Mm-hmm.

Let me get my guitar.

I'll make hot chocolate.

Four calling birds.

Performance anxiety.

You know,

when I first met Winston, I could barely sing a note.

I was so afraid people would laugh at me.

But you know what he said to me?

He said, "Elora, you are with family,

and you don't have to worry."

Hans, you are with family now.

We love you too much to make fun of you.

- Let's try this again. - Come.

Time to wrap up the presents.

I love presents.

I'm worried about her.

I'm worried about the Queen.

She's not a quitter.

She set out to ruin Christmas.

She's still got lots of time.

Who are you?

That's your first question?

I would've went with, "Where am I?"

Feel free to answer in any order.

I am Warlock.

Warlock?

What, like bard or is it more of a title?

It's rude to interrupt.

Sorry, I...

I've just got,

well, quite a few questions.

I'm sure you do.

You're Queen's guest at the castle,

and we want you to stay for dinner.

I very much appreciate the invite,

but, um, I do have to be elsewhere.

So... I really must dash.

Bush!

What are you doing? Let me go.

I must insist you stay.

What was that?

Oh, nothing.

Psst!

You ready?

You know, if you help me go,

I could help you chop down a proper Christmas tree.

You just hurt Bush's feelings.

Sorry, Bush.

You were on your way to spend Christmas with Snow White.

That's right.

My one true love.

Oh, that's so sweet.

What are you, uh...

What are you making over there?

- A Christmas delicacy. - Ah.

Smells... great.

It will smell even better once I'm finished.

Can't wait.

Great job, everyone.

Fluffy, what's wrong?

Woof, woof, woof, woof!

Woof, woof, woof, woof!

The prince is at the castle.

You never told us you could speak dog.

It never came up.

- Do you speak cat? - Oh, no, no one speak cat.

They don't like speaking with the human servants.

The prince is at the castle?

Woof, woof! Woof, woof!

Warlock took him.

We have to rescue him.

It's way too dangerous.

Yeah, we just barely made it out of the castle the last time.

He's my true love, I have to go.

I'll go with you.

Thank you, Hans.

You know I'll help.

Well, the odds are not in our favor, but I'm in.

You stay here and guard the house, okay?

We'll be back in a jiffy.

Jiffy, what is a jiffy?

J-just-- Let's go!

- Jiffy! - Let's go!

Did you find my shoe?

How are we gonna find the prince?

We should have asked Fluffy.

We just need to look in every room until we find him.

- Then let's stop wasting time. - Okay.

W-whoa!

You should have told me you were coming.

I would've set more places at the table.

My Queen...

"My Queen"? Are you trying to butter me up?

I don't think we have enough butter.

Or a big enough knife.

Lasagna!

We are not getting out this way!

I thought you might be hungry.

Apples?

You don't have any Christmas cookies?

You don't have to do this.

But of course I do.

Bon appétit.

I can't believe it.

Christmas cookies, I understood that.

She really thinks we are going to eat one of those apples.

I was starving.

It might be poisoned.

She wouldn't have,

would she?

Oh, don't bite on it.

I'm starting to feel...

Snow?

Did you miss me?

Not really.

Bush kept me company.

You know, if I didn't know any better,

I'd say Bush kinda has a crush on me.

Joke while you can.

Why are you doing this?

I'm the evil Warlock.

It's my character.

Then you could change that character.

Why?

Why? Well, because it'd be kind of nicer being nice.

You really believe that?

You do? Poor boy.

How about this?

Why don't we go to Snow White's cottage together?

She's never met you, but I could introduce you as a friend

that I picked up on the road,

and, uh, I'll cook us all a nice dinner,

and we'll just have a lovely feast together. How does that sound?

You cook?

Cooking's not really her thing.

Ooh, you've put an awful lot of pepper into that already.

You know what, never mind, carry on.

It's almost ready.

Just need the final ingredient.

And what is this final ingredient?

You.

I figured as much.

Do you need a moment?

Oh, well, this is very much not how I saw things playing out,

but if I am to go,

I'd very much like to give you something.

What?

A Christmas present.

Ohh, you're breaking my heart.

What is it?

It's right here in my bag.

Now, I'm sorry I didn't have time to wrap it.

Give it a twist.

It's a music box.

I've always wanted one.

Now, Merry Christmas.

Release.

Well, thank you.

Oh, and...

I'm very sorry

for spoiling your wonderful dinner plans.

Eh. My doctor's been after me

to start a plant-based diet anyway.

Well, I've got to run, Snow White is waiting for me.

About that...

No, no, no, it's all right. He's with us.

About time you showed up.

Oh, what's happened?

She ate one of-- of the Queen's apples.

So, so what?

She's under some sort of spell?

Maybe.

Is there anything you can do?

It's not within my power to undo the Queen's magic.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do.

I do have one idea.

Whenever I was sad, my mother would give me a kiss,

and it would make me feel better.

Perhaps that will work here.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Your mother's magic kiss worked

because she loved you.

Prince, is that really you?

It is, my love.

It worked.

It worked, it really worked!

I hate to break up the reunion, but let's get out of here.

Wait a minute.

What's wrong, my love?

I have an idea.

You can tell us about it

- back at the cottage, huh? - Hm!

H-hold on.

What's the idea?

It's something everyone will have to agree to.

Huddle up.

All right.

You too.

You want me to be part of your huddle?

You're part of the family now.

So, uh, get in here.

My plan worked.

No thanks to you.

You were having so much fun ruining Christmas,

I didn't want to get in your way.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

will I have the grandest Christmas of them all?

The outcome is unclear.

Did you invite anyone over?

Come in!

Merry Christmas, my Queen.

Might I beg you for your indulgence?

There's something I'd like to show you.

Right this way.

What is the meaning of this?

Don't be angry with Warlock.

We asked for his help.

You will never work in this queendom again!

We wanted you to spend Christmas with us.

You wanted to spend Christmas with me?

After the boulder?

I told you there was something strange about those rocks.

And the enchanted forest and the apple?

Well, you've been busy, you must be exhausted.

You don't know how exhausting it is

being so evil all the time.

All the time.

Well, then why don't you take a nap?

Shh, shh.

Family should always be together at Christmas time.

Me...

family?

I'm so sorry.

All will be well.

Well, look at this as a new beginning.

And you've just inherited a new family.

Merry Christmas, my Queen.

I have something for you.

You think the Queen would, uh, go for a guy like me?

I mean, uh, I've got muscles.

I'm strong, hmm!

I think you might be too late.

Mm.

Oh...

Ah.

This is for you.

- And Winston. - Ooh! Mm.

And Elora.

Thank you, thank you.

"To Hans who want to knows all the world!"

I am, um, mm...

"Overwhelmed."

Um... Mm...

"Gratified."

And wait, wait.

Thank you!

For you, because you light our path.

Oh.

Come here, you big lug.

What is "lug" anyway?

Ooh, new socks.

Thank you!

You didn't open yours.

- Thank you. - It's from all of us.

If you ever need our help,

just blow it, and we'll come running.

That's so sweet.

Hmm.

May I open it now?

Look, it's snowing.

And...

I've got something for you.

It's beautiful.

- Do you like it? - I love it.

Stunning.

Ho, ho, ho,

Merry Christmas to all.

I preferred

when the Queen was evil.

B-blast it.
