The Raven is a character in the 1937 film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and later appeared as an antagonist in other Disney media. He is the Evil Queen's pet raven.
In the film, the Raven was a very minor character who did not show much personality other than being scared of the Evil Queen. Additionally, despite being the Evil Queen's pet, the Raven was neither evil nor antagonistic since he did not help the Queen with her evil plans, do anything evil independently or even antagonize or oppose anyone, making him a neutral character instead.
The Disney theme park attractions of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as well as some of the Disney comic books and the game Disney Heroes: Battle Mode, however, expanded the Raven's role and portrayed him as a villain, especially since he was shown to be a loyal henchman to the Queen (as he willingly helped her with her evil plans instead of fearing her). Some notable examples of his villainous acts are him helping the Queen spy on the Dwarfs in the theme park attractions, him conspiring with the Queen and kidnapping Timothy Q. Mouse in the comics and him helping the Queen (in her witch form) by attacking her opponents on her behalf in Disney Heroes: Battle Mode.
Trivia[]
- While the Raven appears as an unnamed male in most Disney media it appears in, it was revealed in at least one Disney comic that the Raven's name is Beulah and its gender is female.
