Trailer For Disney’s ‘Snow White’ Live Action Remake Gets Blasted Right Out Of The Gate: “You All Ruined Snow White”

To say that Disney’s Snow White live action remake has been a disaster from the very start would be an understatement.

It’s never a good sign when a movie’s release is pushed back an entire year. The updated Snow White movie was originally supposed to hit theaters in March of 2024, and it’s now eyeing a March of 2025 debut. Disney said the delay was due to the SAG-AFTRA Strike in 2023… but many assume it’s actually because of the backlash and controversy that’s surrounded the film from the get-go.

One of the first things that caused an uproar online was the casting of Rachel Zegler for the role of Snow White, who is of Polish and Colombian decent. The racial backlash that came from that was ugly, with many saying that the modernized movie had strayed too far away from the original source that described the Disney princess as having “skin as white as snow.”

Zegler didn’t help herself when, while she was promoting her new Snow White film, the actress bashed the 1937 version. She stated that the original “scared” her, and implying that the trope of a prince saving a princess was outdated. Zegler even suggested that the prince was a stalker, and that the new version of the movie decided to skip the “weird” kiss that breaks the curse Snow White is under in the original.

The Snow White in this new film is expected to be more of a leader and independent…

And quite possibly the slipperiest of the slopes that the live action remake has faced is what to do with the dwarf characters. Obviously the original story is titled Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. You know… Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy. They’re critical to the story, but Disney wasn’t sure how to handle the casting.

So they dropped the seven dwarves from the title altogether, and fearing that they would offend audiences, they chose to go full CGI with the dwarves, and refer to them in the film as “magical creatures.” Believe it or not, going the CGI route with the dwarves caused an uproar in the dwarfism community. Even Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage came out and said it was confusing to not give the roles of the seven dwarves to… real people with dwarfism.

Then, you’ve just got the people who think these live action remakes are simply cash grabs by Disney. Though these movies might be “new,” they’re really just retelling stories that already exist and changing them up a bit so it’s not a carbon copy of the original. There’s a nostalgia factor to it… but a lot of people are asking, “Why would I watch this remake when there’s nothing wrong the original?”

The classic “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” argument.

At one point, there was some belief that Disney would punt on the Snow White project altogether. After all, the original teaser trailer that they put out was one of the most disliked and downvoted trailers of all time (not exaggerating there). However, Walt Disney Studios evidently opted to keep moving forward with the project, and earlier today, they released another trailer for what has become their most controversial film in recent memory:

I didn’t even get to touch on the overwhelming computer generated feel the trailer has, or the fact that Gal Gadot (who might not be that great of an actress) is playing the Evil Queen.

As you might imagine, all of the issues that have plagued the remake in the years leading up to its release are still considered points of contention with the audience:

All these live action movies keep making Disney worse

I hate you all ruined Snow White. She is no longer the character Disney was built on, you stripped her of her innocence. And all for a manufactured social media movement.
