- There are two versions of this film. The first from 1938 and the second from 1982.
- Tatiana Angelini was 14 when she dubbed Snow White.
- Tatiana got the role of Snow White after being noticed while singing at graduations at her French school. Someone noticed her and knew director Per-Axel Branner and referred her to him. Branner visited her father and asked Tatiana to sing a song. Her father sat at the grand piano and Tatiana sang. Branner said, "That's it, I have my Snow White." Source
- When Walt Disney heard Tatiana's voice in Hollywood, he said Tatiana was the best Snow White he ever heard. Source
- The 1938 dub was recorded in two weeks in late June and early July of 1938. No one was allowed to enter the recording studio where the dubbing was taking place and the keyholes were covered up to prevent the press from leaking the voice cast participating in the dub. The cast was released to the press two months later.
- *According to Per-Axel Branner, the script for the 1938 dub originated from Hollywood. The writer for the initial script was Brita Gawell (full name: Anna Brita Sofia Blumenthal-Gawell.) Gawell was the daughter of Ida Albertina Gawell-Blumenthal (1869–1953), a famous Swedish author, storyteller, and singer. According to Branner and internal documents, they discarded Gawell's script in favor of adapting the film in Sweden instead. In internal documents, both Gawell and Nils Bohman's names were included for translation, but Gawell's name was crossed out. (Sources : Vestkusten 03/17/1938 & Aftonbladet 02/06/1941)
- Inga Tidblad was considered for the voice of Snow White in the 1938 dub but Tatiana Angelini was chosen instead. Tidblad would later go on to be the voice of Pinocchio in the 1941 dub of Pinocchio. (Source : Svenska Dagbladet 04/05/1938)
- The 1938 dub was issued without dubbing cast credits. What was revealed in the film itself was the dubbing director and translator. The dubbing cast itself was revealed in newspapers at the time.
- On the 1994 VHS and 2001 VHS/DVD releases, it's the 1938 credits that are presented. No visual credits are produced for the 1982 dub. Instead, the 1982 voices and credits were revealed in newspapers at the time and the dubbing credits were presented for the first time on the Blu-Ray release as a black screen with white text.
- It is not clear who wrote the lyrics in the 1938 dubbing. Several online sources list Nils Bohman and Karl Lennart as the lyricists, while sources such as sheet music only list Lennart as the lyricist.
- In the 1938 dubbing, the choral finale of "Someday My Prince Will Come" was not dubbed into Swedish. Instead, it was left as a solo version.
- In the 1982 version, some of the song lyrics have been modernized by Doreen Denning as the 1938 lyrics were old-fashioned. Aside from these modifications, the song lyrics were mostly untouched from the 1938 dub.
- The 1982 version is available on all Swedish home media releases.
