Musical adaptation by Marc Webb snow White– The studio’s first remake of fairy tale film, a landmark 1937 release that helped launch the entertainment industry, probably with the most unrealistic expectations. But rest assured: It plays its own cute spin on the original story while faithfully facing the main touchstone of the animation classic. Most importantly, it is undeniable that Rachel Zegler performs with the best voice of any live Disney princess.
Now, the original animation snow White Apparently a work of art, mainly because it is the first featured cartoon fairy tale in the history of America and the beginning of Disney’s historic heritage in featured dramatic drama animation. There was nothing like this before, and that itself was probably the hardest thing to do with live performance adaptations. What else does this movie do besides being a live-action version of Disney?
As early as 1937 Snow White and the Seven DwarvesThe story must be effective and just attracts the masses of that era. Walt Disney and his animators have made too many expansions in the classic Grimm fairy tale. Their focus is more on the technical side, because the animation technology of multi-planar cameras is essentially prototype, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves It’s an experiment. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect this live version to fully reflect what happened before. This isn’t Disney’s first live-action adaptation, and the world in 2025 is very different from the late 1930s.
A modern live-action movie has room to play with the straightforward shooting of the original snow Whiteprovides much-needed updates, written by Erin Cressida Wilson. There is more room to give Snow White and her lover Jonathan (Andrew Burnap) a more believable party, and most importantly, our princess has a larger core Disney Renaissance motivation. Zegler truly blends in with snow, with a kind of innocent and childish kindness that makes young girls look up to, a welcome change in the role of animated snow.
It is a cleverly accomplished evolution without sacrificing the love story essential to the story. There is no training for girls here. She is still a princess and meets a boy who happens to be a robber in her village who falls in love despite facing opposite places in the kingdom. It’s a love story, a manic elf dream boy from the wrong side of the Kingdom, and Snow White’s age journey.
It works because Weber has had a love story since Weber 500 days in summerThis relationship has an dysfunctional relationship that makes it feel idyllic and big in the protagonist’s mind. He also did Amazing Spider-Man The movie, Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy make the superhero more humanized by their very real connection to the women he loves and loses. exist snow WhiteWeber captured Zegler and burned the old Hollywood chemistry, which It happened one night and We can dance– But there are some Princess Bride and Aladdin also. Witnessing the heartfelt first love between Snow and Jonathan makes them so easy to root and helps make the latest Disney live action more like a grand musical romance.
That’s how Webber, along with the music duo Pasek and Paul and choreographer Mandy Moore, pays homage to the original in a surprisingly faithful way. So while “I hope,” “A Song,” and “One Day My Prince Will Come” are omitted here, the film still conveys a timeless romance that drives their happy endings from old Hollywood movies. It provides Fred and Ginger in the forest with musical numbers such as “Princess Problem” Princess BrideBurnap distracted like young Cary Elwes. Zegler admittedly caused the chemistry associated with her amazing singing. Burnap met her at her level, especially in my favorite Disney duo “A Hand Meets a Hand.” In these moments, snow WhiteThe combination of actors, music, dance numbers and directors is a victory.
The movie really stumbling across two obvious things: the cruel-looking CG dwarf and Gal Gadot are very lacking as the evil queen. It’s not enough to just cast a beautiful woman, Gadot’s evil queen doesn’t serve Diva in the way the legendary villain needs. Gadot works hard to create great performances, and her musical numbers make you want someone who wants to have stronger signature experience. In the Queen’s new villain song “All Is Fair,” Gadot struggles, sounding as if her voice is through post-processing, not simply auto-dot. They can’t even hide that she didn’t actually perform the song. The scene is full of too many cuts as it should be a big entertainment. My head hopped around the whole place, especially when she was supposed to play high notes, she didn’t even care to make it look like it was taking proper breath while her lips were synchronized.
and dwarf, oof. They did try it, I mean, they at least look dead eyes and then get closer to the appearance, e.g. Harry Potterbut they still look just leave. The only thing that saved the dwarves were the sound actors who really captured the cute energy of their beloved magic creatures. The film even tries to make them more involved in giving them dream abilities associated with the gems they dig, but it doesn’t really explore it to make sense, and it feels like a loose thread to say the least. The choices here are better than what CG Disney Sidekicks made, but there must be a better way to split the differences and allow the actors’ performance to shine technically, with people preferring those incredibly ruthless valley human creatures.
There are two main elements snow White Now, the story misses this mark, an unfortunate tradition of Disney’s live-action remake series. even Cinderellatouted as one of the best games, deleted the main character’s songs and beauty and the Beast There is an automatic adjustment beauty. With Snow White at least, we’ll get new songs to create new storybook romances for a generation, if you rise to meet them and can come with Prince.
Comprehensive snow White is a charming musical and has the power to empower your people to fight against futile and evil tyrants. This is mainly to abuse digital enhancements, but fans still don’t like these enhancements. Disney’s Rock History and its Live-Person Remake is fascinating snow Whitebut maybe not a critic who might be confident in a trend and then gradually develop, like Lilo & Stitch and Confused. At least one thing: Zegler won this generation of Snow White, and the franchise was better.
snow White Released on Friday, March 21.
