Have you read a mini series of stories, written and/or drawn by Romano Scarpa, starring Snow White and the dwarfs from the movie, with the queen as the villain? I guess their creators didn't give it much thought, but what about you? Have you come up with any reasonable explanation to place them in the movie's canonicity? Myself, i have two... -The queen survived the fall at the end of the movie and kept stalking her daughter in law. Snow White lives with the prince and occassionally visits the dwarfs. -It takes place in an alternate universe where Snow White was somehow saved without ever meeting the prince. Maybe she didn't fall for the queen's apple trick, or the dwarfs ran faster and saved her before she could bite the apple. Alas, she still lives with them.

This one seems to have become the canonical one as of The Crystal of King Arbor, one of the later stories, which explicitly takes place right after the movie and shows just how Grimhilde survives the fall.
That being said, your second idea is probably closer to what they had in mind when making the earlier stories. GeoX once described 50's Disney comics' handling of the movie characters as "frozen ideals of who they are in the public consciousness", and that's very fitting; in those stories Bambi was usually still a fawn in the 'present-day', Pinocchio was somehow still a puppet, etc., and even more recently, I know at least two Aladdin comics taking place in some weird timeline where Aladdin and Jasmine are dating and the Genie is free, but Jafar is still the Grand Vizier.
