The film incorporates several direct references to the original Snow White story:
: The love interest, Tyler Prince (played by Matt Long ), mirrors the Prince Charming character.
: Sydney's seven roommates each represent a specific dwarf trait: Lenny (Sneezy), Terrence (Doc), Jeremy (Bashful), Gurkin (Grumpy), Spanky (Happy), Embele (Sleepy), and George (Dopey).
: In one scene, Sydney is shown sleeping in a library; the view through a glass window is framed to resemble Snow White’s glass coffin.
