The recently released trailer for Disney’s live-action Snow White remake, featuring Rachel Zegler as the titular princess, has generated mixed reactions across social media platforms.
While some fans praised Gal Gadot’s performance as the Evil Queen, Zegler’s portrayal of Snow White faced substantial criticism.
Detractors argue that the remake lacks the charm of the original animated classic, with some even labelling it as “unnecessary” and “disappointing.”
Despite the backlash, there are those who remain optimistic, hoping that the film will ultimately win over audiences.
The costumes still look cheap & the acting from the Evil Queen lady seems very questionable. But at least the scenery is colourful? The singing sounds good. I mean obviously it’s not the same higher tone as animated Snow White but it’s not bad.

The trailer’s release has reignited debates on Disney’s ongoing trend of live-action remakes, with many fans feeling that certain iconic films should remain untouched.
The Seven Dwarves still just are not doing it for me in this live-action Snow White. Rachel Zegler will be perfect, but just can’t do it with these Dwarves man. Not for me.— Shaun is Confused by the 3 of Hearts (@rankingthemouse) August 10, 2024
Disney has been tight-lipped about any potential changes to the story, but rumours suggest that the film may explore new narrative elements not present in the original.
Starring Rachel Zegler in the title role and Gal Gadot as her Stepmother, the Evil Queen, the magical music adventure revisits the timeless story with beloved characters Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy.
Disney’s Snow White is directed by Marc Webb and produced by Marc Platt and Jared LeBoff, with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer.
The film features all-new original songs from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
As the release date approaches, the trailer’s mixed reception raises questions about the film’s potential success.
The Snow White remake continues to be a topic of heated discussion, with fans eagerly awaiting further details and hoping that the final product will do justice to the classic tale.
