No rotoscoping was used for the depiction of Queen Grimhilde, as the animators preferred drawing the Queen over Snow White and devoted more attention to her depiction. The animators found that she "was more real and complex as a woman, more erotic, and driven to desperate acts by her magic mirror." Particulat attention was payed to her "lovely cruel mouth and eyes", and to her graceful movements.
