Disney’s live-action adaptation of the classic 1937 animated film, “Snow White,” has ignited a firestorm of controversy even before its scheduled release in 2025.
The recent unveiling of the teaser trailer has intensified scrutiny on the project, particularly focusing on the casting of Rachel Zegler as Snow White and the film’s reimagined narrative.
Zegler’s portrayal of the iconic princess has faced criticism. It has been a focal point of the controversy surrounding the film, with some viewers expressing disappointment over the departure from the original character. The actress herself has openly discussed the film’s modern approach, stating that Snow White will not be defined by a prince or a dream of true love. These comments have further fueled the debate. Beyond the casting, the film’s handling of the Seven Dwarfs has also been a point of contention, with concerns about potential stereotypes and representation.
As the release date draws nearer, it appears that the live-action “Snow White” is facing an uphill battle to win over both critics and fans of the original.
