Editorial status

altered

Disney's 1937 film uses ‘Magic mirror’, not ‘Mirror, mirror’. The familiar repetition is a later retelling that displaced the film's actual wording.

Magic mirror on the wall …

Earliest traceable appearance in this record: 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; the film's wording is ‘Magic mirror’.
