This week, the live-action reboot from Disney of the classic tale Snow White will be released in movie theaters following a lengthy period of filming and numerous online discussions.
Contrary to some pessimistic chatter, it seems that this film is proving to be one of the most robust live-action remakes the studio has made so far, based on the initial responses from critics on social media.
In a tweet that’s now labeled as X, one critic noted that despite Disney’s retelling of Snow White being frequently ridiculed online, it generally turned out to be quite a success.
“Rachel Zegler is an absolute star, (most of) the new songs are catchy and beautifully performed, and the visual palette is sumptuous and vibrant. Gal Gadot had beautiful gowns.”
Another critic added: “Despite the bob being all over the place, #SnowWhite is quite charming! The message lands well, the critters are adorable, and Rachel Zegler and her enchanting voice are stunning. It almost got a full tear out of me, and I’ve never cried in my entire life.”
Although critics have commended the stunning visuals and the acting skills of Rachel Zegler in her role as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, they’ve expressed mixed feelings about the decision to represent the seven dwarves using computer-generated imagery (CGI), which has been criticized as being “unsettling”.
One critic said: “I may regret saying this but #SnowWhite is solid. I really enjoyed the musical numbers, particularly the opening one and the Queen’s evil bop. Zegler was great in the lead role, and Gadot was fun. It’s really the CGI dwarves that let the film down. The choice is baffling.”
Another added: “The biggest surprise of 2025 is that the most ‘controversial’ and most hated film of the year is actually a decent live-action remake. #SnowWhite is not only one of their best live-action remakes in years, but it’s also a film that recaptures the magic of the 1937 movie.
“Rachel Zegler IS Snow White, and she delivers such a magical performance. The musical numbers are unforgettable, the visuals (not the uncanny dwarves) are enchanting, and Erin Cressida Wilson’s screenplay provides depth to this world that I didn’t know was needed.”
Another said: “Rachel Zegler is a shining supernova in #SnowWhite, beautifully embodying the graceful, gentle nature of the OG Disney princess. It’s a visual feast with show-stopping new musical numbers and, of course, dozens of enchanting animated animals.
The script intelligently deepens its female protagonist by her passionate aspiration to emulate the leadership potential her father saw in her, along with a heartwarming romance reminiscent of a slice of apple pie.
Another critic said that Disney has “had the last laugh” with the film after “YEARS of backlash”.
“Rachel Zegler is an enchanting lead,” they added, saying that “all the story tweaks work well for a modern audience and, after 88 years, it’s a reimagining that makes sense”.
The movie, featuring Andrew Burnap and Ansu Kabia among its cast, is part of the ongoing trend of live-action adaptations, as another take on Lilo & Stitch is set to release this year as well.
