The Prince is a young man of eighteen, possessing a magnificent voice and singing very well. However, the idea was reused, to an extent, in Sleeping Beauty, in which Prince Phillip and Aurora dance together their surroundings transform into clouds, presumably to reflect their happiness together. Sketches were made for the sequence in which Snow White sings " Someday My Prince Will Come" depicting Snow White and the Prince dancing in the clouds, while small, star-like creatures cavort around them. Later, as the animators became more experienced at animating human characters, a similar concept was used in Sleeping Beauty, in which Maleficent has Prince Phillip captured and taken to the Forbidden Mountains, where she shows him visions of the future she has planned for him. However, comics released to promote the film include such scenes the Witch locks up the Prince and tells him what her plans are for Snow White, telling him that she will win his affections, while the Prince is defiant. The idea was abandoned when it was realized how difficult it was to animate the Prince convincingly, and the character only appeared when he needed to further the story, which centered primarily around the relationship between Snow White and the Queen. After escaping, the forest animals were to tell him where to go however, only the horse was to understand, causing the Prince to take the long route and arrive too late to save Snow White. She would have left the Prince in the dungeon, and he was to escape in the manner of Errol Flynn, enabling him to reach Snow White and break the spell. As the Witch, she would have made the skeletons in the dungeon get up and dance. It was originally planned that, jealous of the Prince's affections for Snow White, the Queen would have him brought to her, and she would have him locked in her dungeon. The Prince was partly animated by Milt Kahl, who would later be given similarly difficult tasks in the animation of Prince Charming in Cinderella and Prince Phillip in Sleeping Beauty. The character was mostly rotoscoped from Louis Hightower's live-action performance. For this reason, his role in the film was minor he only makes two appearances in the film. It was found that the Prince was the hardest of all characters to animate. The Prince was the first "realistic" human male that the Disney animators attempted to bring to life. 6.1 Fairest of All: A Tale of the Wicked Queen.
