The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs cuckoo clock is one of several [romantic and nostalgic fairy tale clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) that has popped up in the home decor market. Based on the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1) film of the same name, this clock is structured to look like the little cottage in which Snow White lived with her seven small friends. Outside of the cottage stands a miniature version of Snow White, in her iconic blue and yellow dress. Beside her stand the seven dwarfs, from Sleepy to Sneezy.

The clock is fully functional, and creates a cuckoo noise on the hour. There is a lever that allows this sound to be turned on and off, if the user would rather use the clock as a decoration.

This beautiful, hand-carved clock demonstrates once again how deeply [Disney characters have permeated pop culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew) in North America. It's been over 80 years since Snow White premiered in theaters, but it still manages to remain an iconic symbol of early animation and romantic fairy tales.
