The Magic Mirror is the recurring magical item found in the legend of Snow White, and is the means by which the Evil Queen ensures that she alone is the "fairest in the land" - asking it daily the question of "who is the fairest of them all?", in fact, it is only when the Magic Mirror tells the Evil Queen that Snow White surpasses her in fairness that she plans on having her killed.
Famed is thy beauty, Majesty. But hold, a lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee. Lips red as the rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow.
In the Disney version of the tale, the Magic Mirror is even given a life of its own in the form of a sinister face called Spirit of the Magic Mirror, though, in reality, the Magic Mirror is more of an amoral force than a true servant of the Queen.
Acording to the Snow White Archive: 1938 UK Snow White Pressbook, the spirit contained in the Magic Mirror was the Queen's familiar demon. After the queen's death, according to Lego Disney Princess: The Castle Quest, however it feared her tyranny and apologized to her stepdaughter about it.
In the Disney version, he was voiced by the late Moroni Olsen in the 1937 film, voiced by the late Tony Jay in the DVD game, Dopey's Wild Mine Ride, and by Corey Burton in the rest of the Disney media, as well as Lego Disney Princess: The Castle Quest. In the Disney musical of Snow White, he is played by Patrick Stewart, who also portrayed Locutus of Borg in Star Trek.

The Magic Mirror also appears as a minor antagonist and a boss in the prequel to the Kingdom Hearts series Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. In the game, after Terra insults the Evil Queen, she (in the English version) strikes a magic potion on the Magic Mirror or (in the Japanese version) uses her rage and darkness, turning the Spirit of the Magic Mirror into an Unversed to kill Terra in retaliation, but he manages to defeat it. Later, it also fights Aqua when she visits the Dwarf Woodlands, but she manages to best in in combat as well.
The Magic Mirror appears in Kingdom Hearts Dark Road, also as a minor antagonist and boss. He reveals to Vor that she will never become a Keyblade Master, panicking and saying it’s not true, but the Magic Mirror says that nothing can be changed of her destiny.
Wish[]
The Magic Mirror's face makes a cameo appearance when King Magnifico gets sucked into his staff after his plot to hoard all of his people's wishes for himself failed. Since the film has tied-in all previous Disney films due to the several Easter Eggs that are found through it, it can be theorized that Magnifico is the former identity of the Magic Mirror, as he is left as part of a magic mirror shard at the end.

Snow White and the Huntsman[]
The Magic Mirror (credited as the Mirror Man in the film) appears in Snow White and the Huntsman. Appearing both as a golden gong-like object and its spirit, a shape-shifting robed faceless man whose entire being is seemingly composed of gold and liquid. He was voiced by Christopher Obi in the first film and by Fred Tatasciore in The Huntsman: Winter's War.
After Queen Ravenna was killed by Snow White in the first film, her dark vital essence became one with the Magic Mirror and her spirit took the entity's place in it to evade passing on into the afterlife. Seven years later, Snow White orders the Mirror to be taken to Sanctuary because of its dark magic. However, the Mirror was eventually recovered by Ravenna's sister Freya, who used it to ressurect her by saying who is the "fairest of them all". After discovering Ravenna enchanted Andrew in the past to kill his own newborn daughter, Queen Freya turns on her sister and uses her cryokinetic powers to freeze the Mirror, while the Huntsman shatters it and destroys both Ravenna and the Mirror.
Mirror Mirror[]
The Magic Mirror appears in Mirror, Mirror as a large mirror that serves as a portal to the Mirror Realm where a large hut exists filled with mirrors surrounding the room. Queen Clementianna consults with the Magic Mirror, who is a younger reflection of the Queen, would always advise Clementianna not to use dark magic for her own gain. After the Queen aged into an old crone, she took a slice of the poisoned apple she was to give to Snow White from her. As the Queen eats the apple, the Mirror declares that it was Snow White's story all along when suddenly the Magic Mirror shatters upon itself and the Mirror Realm and mirror portal is destroyed.
In the television show Once Upon a Time, Queen Regina trapped her genie lover in her mirror, making him the spirit in the mirror. In the real world town of Storybrooke, the man in the mirror is Sidney Glass, a news reporter and ally of the Evil Queen.
The Magic Mirror (voiced by the late Dom DeLuise) appears as a kind and goofy mirror in the 1993 animated fantasy film Happily Ever After. This version speaks in rhymes and serves the Queen's brother; Lord Marliss after her death.
Shrek[]
In Shrek media, the Magic Mirror is voiced by Chris Miller.
Personality[]
Not much is known about the Mirror except that his sole purpose is to serve whoever may own him at the time. Whilst he is generally diabolical, manipulative, uncompromising, and antagonistic on various occasions, he is unintentionally sinister, as he is forced to obey The Evil Queen due to being her slave. He does not hesitate to tell the truth to the Queen when it is revealed that Snow White was still alive. The Magic Mirror is simply a morally neutral entity; his pure purpose in existence is to objectively provide the truth to any question asked at any given time, by any given person.
