- In 2009, a narrative part over the text - left in English - for Snow White's death was added to the 2001 dubbing; and is shown as such in all future releases.

- Release dates :
France - May 6, 1938 (Cinema) (1st dub)
Recordings made in February & March 1938 in Hollywood, USA.
France - December 12, 1962 (Cinema) (2nd dub)
France - October 24, 2001 (VHS/DVD) (3rd dub) - About the 1st version (1938) :
- The first French dubbing was made in Hollywood, USA, because the dubbing process was taking too much time.
- Beatrice Hagen, the singing voice of Snow White, was actually not French, but American.
- French singer Lily Pons, most famous in the 30s, was originally considered for the singing parts of Snow White.
Sources : "Pittsburg Post-Gazette" 20-Jan-1938 & "Princeton Daily" 19-Jan-1938
- About the 2nd version (1962) :
- Lucie Dolène, the voice of Snow White, sued Disney France in 1996 for the copyrights and royalties on her voice, and won; resulting in the creation of a third dubbing for the 2001 VHS and DVD release.

- About the 3rd version (2001) :
- To audition, Rachel Pignot - Snow White's singing voice - sent a cassette of her recording "My Own Home" ("La Maison Sous Le Chaume"), Shanti's song. She sang this one because the song was originally performed by Lucie Dolène in the French version, and she wanted to be original by not picking one of Snow White's songs.
Rachel Pignot was very worried to take over Lucie Dolène, and it was a honor and pleasure for her to dub this role. She auditionned for the speaking parts as well, but unfortunately Disney France judged her voice too infantile for the character ...
