The History of the Poison Apple in Disney

The poison apple is one of the most iconic symbols from Disney films and cartoons. Its origins can be traced back to the classic 1937 film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In the film, the evil Queen concocts a poison apple to get rid of Snow White, telling her it's a "magic wishing apple." When Snow White bites into the apple, she falls into a deep sleep that can only be broken by love's first kiss.

The vivid red apple made such an impact that it has been associated with all things Disney villainy since. Over the decades, it has made many more appearances across Disney media, cementing its status as a timeless symbol of danger disguised as something alluring.

The Poison Apple in Disney Parks

Beyond the films, the poison apple has woven its way into physical Disney theme parks as well. One of the most famous poison apple items is the glowing magic wishing apple found in the witch's cauldron in Snow White's Scary Adventures ride at Disneyland. Even after the ride's overhaul, this iconic apple remains, continuing to entice riders to take a symbolic deadly bite.
