I was never the biggest fan of Snow White growing up but I’m totally here for your vision of the story. Sad that it’s most likely not what we’re gonna get.
I'm not the biggest fan either. I find Snow White in the old-school version of Sleeping Beauty to be one of the weakest Disney princesses. I just couldn't connect with Snow White. So, I'm actually open to some updated changes. Hopefully, we'll get some catchy songs, as Snow White didn't have many songs that I enjoyed. Personally, I've always considered Snow White to have potential for a horror film, given the dark undertones in some scenes - and I'm not talking about lighting, but rather the storyline.
I think THAT'S why people get so defensive about this film; they rationalize that no one cared about Snow White before, and now it's an issue when changes are made. Not true at all; many people enjoy Snow White.
About the kiss without consent: Do you know that in the Grimm version, this kiss isn't even there? Snow White comes back to life because one of the dwarfs fell over a root while they were carrying her coffin, which made it fall down and this made the piece of apple Snow White had in her throat fall out. Apparently the poisonous apple only works while it is inside the body. Very unrealistic, I know, but at least no kiss without consent.
Exactly! What I have a bigger issue with in the original story is the fact that she’s 14 and he’s almost 30! Like I get back in the 1500s people died earlier, but for modern times, I definitely feel like they should close up that age gap a bit. 😬😅
@@youtubewontletmetypeagoodu8128 It's not a made-up story. If you review interviews from that time period when the movie first came out, it was confirmed that she was a minor. Only reason they changed later on or some Disney reps denied it because they didn’t wanna get backlash later on. So they changed it. My grandma was born around that time, and she mentions that it was always the talk of the town that snow white was a minor. Even her personality and the way she interacts, it's evident that her lack of aspirations was due to her young age. Most teenagers don't have major aspirations. She acted very immature, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but you can clearly see she was extremely young and naive.
@@Tttttttttttttttt484 the balcony scene is also borrowed from Romeo and Juliet, and there had been also a Romeo and Juliet movie slightly before and also Juliet is underage, and so...that's the thing with classics.
@@felicity1877 what everyone seems to forget is that the Prince is not 30, that was never his age, it was closer to 18-20, younger men did not have beards, older men did. Prince Phillip was at least 20, and is the only male in the whole movie to be without a beard. Eugene is the first Disney Prince with facial hair, and he's been confirmed to be 26.
I agree about Rachel Zegler, she's probably just describing the film like she was told to describe it. She just seems outspoken and blunt so 🤷. I agree that what we know of the film doesn't look very promising.
Have you read Fairest by Gail Carson Levine? She adapted Snow White in an interesting way! Snow White wasn't a #girlboss! She was flawed and focused heavily on her appearance, she was not focused on leadership, but simply surviving in a cutthroat Court she wasn't born into! But she learns and grows, and makes mistakes! I feel like modern Disney doesn't allow their princesses to be flawed or make mistakes! Like LA Belle, or Cinderella, or Nala! Halle made her character feel distinctly Ariel, by giving her passion and drive, but also having her make a mistake or two!
Snow White isn't a warrior or a girlboss, and there's nothing wrong with that. She does dream of true love given her experience with the evil queen. Nothing wrong with that, either.
I completely agree with you. I think this is a very good and new aproch to repesent that types of people. Besides not everyone is the same, their are other ways how women or girls can can be strong. I hope the Disney adaptation gets to represent Snow White in the right way.
Despite my issues with TLM 2023, I think they were onto something with changing the location. Given that Rachel mentioned how big Blanca Nieves was in Latin America, I feel like Disney could've made a Snow White film (distinct from the original) set in a Latin American-inspired Kingdom, with original music and a new storyline. That way we all get what we want.
Her parents are dead and she is abused by her stepmother, of course she is dreaming of love. God I thought we dropped this pseudo-feminism four years ago
I have a problem with making feminine characters into girl bosses as a sign of "character" Growth. It was fine with Mulan since her culture expected her to be dainty, Mulan was intelligent and creative! But making Giselle, know for being sweet, and a hopeless romantic, wield a sword, was a bit much! She could've summoned her animal friends to distract Nerissa, or peck her eyes out!
@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 Yeah but now a days people make girls like "Girl Bosses" all the time, it's like this feminist woke disease that people use if movies all the time now a days. I'm not trying to be rude but that's how I see it, and I feel very bad for those that think woman should just be girl bosses in movies. People are forgetting about the men and it's like all the things we say the men did to us were slowly doing it to them. :(
It's funny because this "iconic true love's kiss scene" isn't even part of the original story. In the German fairy tale she wakes up because when the drawfs carry her in the coffin one of the drawfs stumbles and that jolt makes her spit out a piece of the apple so she wakes up. She was "dead" cause that apple she ate was stuck in her throat and she couldn't breathe, and not especially because of the poison. I get why Disney changed it. It's not very lightful or final-scene-like to spit out a piece of apple instead of a magically kiss breaking a curse. But German fairy tales are something different
Here's the thing that I feel like a lot of people miss: Snow White, even the 1937 version, is not as helpless as people give her credit for. She could have just cried herself to death in the woods. Instead, she not only finds possible shelter, but devises a plan to convince the house owners into giving her refuge by being observant and resourceful and realizing one of her strengths is housekeeping, and that housekeeping might a key to saving her from the queen. The 1959 Aurora is, really, a lot closer to what a lot of the hyper-feminists accuse Snow White of being: Aurora barely has 20 lines in the entire film and the most complex emotion she feels is sadness that her boyfriend can't come over. At least Snow White took care of herself and used the few skills she had to her advantage.
@emilyrouk1820 I mean, she's the one who proposed to be the housekeeper to the dwarves to earn her keep if you saw the cartoon recently so I wouldnt get that dramatic
@emilyrouk1820 Its not, you're just cleaning your house while your husband goes to work wdym. It's just dividing all the work with your husband. Oh, wait your probably one of the brainwashed woke people.
I think Snow White should have been white because it is a core to her character but with Ariel it did not matter to race swap her honestly I think that was an amazing idea but Snow White should in my opinion should stay white as snow
The actress is white. Remember, Latino is a it’s not a race but an ethnicity. So race wise she is white; ethnicity she is Latino. There’s literally red carpet pictures of her being very pale. She gets darker obviously in the summer.
when I saw her with pale face especially in some west side story shots, my first thought was that's Snow White. and hey, she has at last black hair. naturally pitch black hair. most snow white actresses might been more pale naturally, but mostly they were blond,red or brown, and so they needed to dye their hair for the part. and snow white is the only princess traditionally depicted with black hair in fairy tales. she absolutely matters for representation, not her skin color (;

Thank you for every single point you made, especially about the meaning of the name “Snow White”. 👏🏽 I’m also still hopeful for this movie and would live to hopefully one day see your movie ideas come to life! Tbh they should let RUclipsrs line you direct movies at this point 🙌🏽
This is a better way to update the film than what they’re actually trying to do. But it’s sad that Disney is most likely not gonna let this happen. And will continue to go the wrong direction with this. The Little Mermaid was a good example on how to update a story from the past for modern audiences. (Of coarse it could have done a few things a little bit better) But it was good. And now suddenly we get this? Either it’s the crew who are making the movie, the company or both. (Probably both) that are to blame for this. I’m not even bothered that a Latina is going to be Snow White. She’s not even that dark. (At least on some pictures) just wish she respected the original film more. But I don’t think we should deny that snow white’s skin tone is an iconic trait. Just like Ariel’s was her hair. Sure her name doesn’t come from the fact that her skin is almost white as snow In the 1937 version. Cause they never mention that part. But the mirror mentioned she has “skin white as snow” along with the other features like her red lips and black hair. It bothers me a little bit because her appearance is mentioned in the original movie. And I’m just left thinking, what will they do with that? But oh well. She isn’t even that dark anyway. We have bigger problems, like with how much they changed the story and character’s.
THANK YOU! To me (also as a mixed race person) it’s laughable that they consider her to be “brown” when, just like Meghan Markle, she’s literally one shade off from being “white”. The bigger issue I have with this remake is that they’re completely changing the entire trajectory of the original story without tastefully updating it in a way that protects the integrity of the original storyline and showcases the true positive attributes of the characters.
The actress that plays snow right now has pale skin. I don’t know why people are calling her brown skin. She’s literally a white passing Latino. It’s also good to know and his channel has mentioned it, that snow white was never white as snow, nor pale skin she actually had a tan. His past videos has comparisons shoots…. People also forget that Latino is a culture is not a race. So the actress race is actually white but culturally she’s Latino because again Latino is not a race.
@@sammierose1150 in my personal opinion, and that’s just my personal opinion, but the snow White sucks is one of the worst Disney princesses, so I actually might like the changes lol
@@Tttttttttttttttt484 Good point. But while Snow White isn’t exactly white as snow. She doesn’t really have a tan. And for most of the movie, she’s actually really pale skinned. Those other comparison photos are just parts of the movie where the appearance doesn’t match up. So yeah, not white as snow, probably just an exaggerated description for really pale skin. The live action Snow White now just has a skin-tone that most white people have. And most of the white people I’ve seen don’t have really pale skin that’s almost white. But I still don’t really have any actual problem with the casting. Other than what the actress thinks of the original film. I’m probably being to picky about skin color though. I did say she wasn’t even that dark. But I like the idea of Snow White being named for her purity over the color of her skin like the original Grimms fairytale.
@@shawnrheaume7114 No because there is no point in doing that if you are going to remake or reimagine something it cannot be a carbon copy it has to be different in some way
@@shawnrheaume7114 Then that is not a remake that is a carbon copy done in a medium that cannot fully encapsulate the enchanting atmosphere of animation
We can't judge the movie yet, so I'm not sure what to expect. I agree that people are too harsh on the actress; she's just doing her job, echoing what Disney wants. We should focus criticism on Disney and the writers, not the actress. While I don't know much about her, being a model and actress myself, I liked how Eric pursued Halle in The Little Mermaid, showing mutual interest despite her saving him. Changes could make her more confident while desiring true love. It's fair to mention Snow White's youth (she was a minor) in the original, which explains her lack of aspirations. I agree with your other changes, except for the dwarves. There shouldn't be a deep scene between Snow White and Grumpy. The original dwarves' names and attitudes should remain, portraying characters without relying on stereotypes. I'll STILL give it a chance. Loved the live-action mermaid and I'm a Barbie fan. They might Photoshop the seven characters into dwarves, who knows.
I don’t know where you found the photo of Miss Zegler at 2:06, but she looks just like Snow White there! I just hope the people working on the film are smart and have a sense of detail and do her makeup similar to that, otherwise it would be a huge wasted opportunity.
I agree with all of your takes about TLM and we share similar insights. That being said, swap the actress out because without trying to sugar coat anything, she clearly doesn’t like the original story nor the character enough to bring meaning to a live action remake. Rewrite the story and match the heart Cinderella brought on screen because it doesn’t seem like it is going that route rn.
She’s paid to promote the movie, so she’ll repeat things the writers, producers, and Disney want her to say. If anything, we should be more critical of Disney and the writers, not the actress. While I don’t know much about her, I’m aware of this aspect, being a model and commercial actress. You can literally look on her social media and she is extremely grateful to have this role
YES! Thank you! I myself was thinking of how to change it up where Snow doesn’t go completely girl boss like all the other Disney girls. I had an idea where she knows that she has to return home to face the queen if the leaks are anything to go off of after waking up, but she has all this pressure to live up to her beloved saintly parents. She gets frustrated at her lack of ideas for her to do by herself when someone (I was thinking grumpy) would say something like “of course you don’t have all the answer. No one ever has all the answers to every single problem right away. Not even this guy” he says while elbowing Doc or whoever the leader is. Then the dwarfs would all agree and say that that they rely on each other and while you can be smart in one or multiple areas, there are still plenty of things that you could still need help with and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s why her parents were so loved: their kindness, generosity, willing to help anyone in need, and they even had a council of advisers that consisted of people living in the kingdom. With that, Snow gets an idea and leads everyone back to the castle. It’s still technically girl boss, but it’s not the warrior “Mary sue” girl boss that Disney is making a cliché at this point for every live action girl. But I really like your idea with the dwarfs.
If Greta Gerwig or Guillermo del Toro rewrite this Snow White live action, the story and characters would be make a lot more sense than what Disney is doing
@@blackskyboii Yes cause even Greta worked on the screenplay, most of the ideas come of Erin Cressida who have been working on the script since 2016 when was confirmed the movie. Greta came later
The weird thing is Disney was doing better with the rewriting with the little mermaid but then it’s like they went completely off track I don’t even know what to make of this really
⚠️warning of a lot of text, above all good video wow, I liked your interpretation, not necessarily a woman or human being in general is strong because of her physical strength, she is also strong because of how she faces problems and how she grows and develops in her life as you narrated. the idea of the kiss that by loving each other so much their kisses would wake them up from death promising that if it happens they would kiss... it seems so corny to me that it's perfect and that would be great. I, as someone who has not liked live action since 2016 or 2017, since I did not like most of the productions from there, lagging behind with respect to their animated versions, I recognize and even applaud that at least Ariel has been one of the female characters in disney that still kept many remnants of her personality in her live action, I wonder why they don't keep doing it, besides, I feel that the issue of being promoted as snow white"""latin""" (it is considered very American in Latin America), it did not lead anywhere because they did not take advantage of transferring the history of Germany to "nueva granada" (Colombia) of the 16th century, as they did with the little mermaid that was transferred to the Caribbean. And about Greta... who assures us that production and directors have not gotten their dirty hands into the already written script?, it happens more than one thinks. Actually, regarding the name, the adaptation of the 30s does not mention the three characteristics of Snow White, they only mention that in the story where it is called Snow White because it is white as snow so that more later the queen died of complications from childbirth I know you don't have to draw quick conclusions, at least for me the vast majority of live action is destined to be MID and I would have preferred new animated reinterpretations of the same stories since that was the thing that made Disney great.
I'm totally on board with everything you suggested until you get to the dwarfs. I've thought about writing a prequel fanfiction for a while now, and I just might implement some of your suggestions if you don't mind. Also, while I have zero desire to see Snow White 2024, that fanart at 0:41 of Rachel Zegler in Snow White's dress is pretty darn good.
I personally just want to say, that people, under no circumstances, should be harassing the actress. Like seriously, the backlash she is facing is really gross.
@@NoelleTakestheSky People are treating her like she committed a war crime. And lets not even get into some of the racist undertones of it all. I respectfully disagree with her on some of her points, but I'm not going to act like she's a bad person or casting choice.
Snow White’s also just a 14 year old child… obviously she’ll be older, but still. That shouldn’t change her character. I agree with these changes that you added or took out. Also, there’s nothing wrong with a character like Snow White wanting to find romance… again, also she’s a freaking child. Your changes are very important to not just relatability, but also just refreshing for storytelling for Disney remakes
Snow White is perfect the way it is. The original story is about puberty (the girl falls asleep at around 12 or 13 and wakes up when she's an adult). And in the movie, she actually has a character arc, and a good one. Disney made the movie during the era of the great depression, showing a girl who, though of noble origin, does not mind rolling up her sleeves. At first she has to, because the queen makes her, but she does not complain. She dreams of "the one she loves to find her", which shows that she does not want anyone to save her from rags but merely to find someone who cares for her at last. Having to run into the forest, at first she is frightened, but she does not cry for anyone to rescue her. Then she realizes that the creatures of the woods are actually harmless and learns that with kindness and cheerfulness she can make friends in the great unknown. She is led to the hut of the dwarves and immediately decides to do something for them, i.e. cleaning up and cooking. She makes a real home of their mess. Later we see her being strict in a motherly way, asking the dwarves to wash their hands before they eat. But she also sings and dances with them. She tells them that she hopes for her prince to find her again, but does not expect him to "save" her. As for the non-consensual kiss, it's one of the most foolish interpretations I have ever heard. Please, watch the movie again!! Everybody believes her to be DEAD, that's why they build her a coffin! How should they know that she's just in a deep sleep? How should a supposedly DEAD person give her consent?! The prince is so sad when he finds her because he believes she died in the meantime. He kisses her GOODBYE before hanging his head in grief. But since this is a fairy tale, something beautiful and magical must happen - not having been actually dead, she wakes up and he takes her home. Sorry, I didn't mean to insult your video. You have some points. But these "modern" interpretations are so stupid that they make me want to bang my head against the wall. Non-consensual, my goodness, these self-appointed feminists need to grow a brain.
@@Its-me-no-it-isnt Don't forget a three-fold contract sealed and signed by your lawyer, your parents and your grandparents that the man you're engaged to be married to may give you a peck on the lips when you're dead. And only then.
I respect your take but I think you’re being wayyyy too considerate to her. She literally called the Prince in the original a stalker and speaks about it with such disdain, putting Snow White as a character down and the original production. She clearly doesn’t understand or respect it and this is one of the most important films in film history- the basis from which this entire company was built upon. She’s admitted to not liking the original and never having a connection to it. The only reason she likes this movie is because of her presence in it and it’s giving her attention and money and a starring role in something lol for a movie this important, I want someone who understands the story and resonates with it and it means something to that person. Not someone who’s doing the story equivalent of “let’s tear this wall down and build a new one hjuck hjuck!” Also it’s been confirmed that Rachel pitched story and it was approved for a few sequences, so she does have input. And the disrespectful way she talked about the actor who played the prince potentially losing his job…while she’s talking about needing streaming shares from a movie that hasn’t come out yet because she has to stand in a princess dress😅 I will say the original Snow White was incredible in so many ways and its storytelling is timeless. The things people criticize is because we’ve grown more cynical as a society and can’t accept fairytales and fantasy anymore. The updates Rachel’s talking about are ones we’ve seen to three different Snow White adaptions in the last decade and just showcase how limited we allow women to be now- they can only be strong in one way, only emote in others, and always be autonomous and in control no matter what, which totally defeats realism or creating any types of stakes. It puts more pressure on women to be perfect Mary Sues like the Snow White remake and I think both Lily’s Cinderella and Halle’s Ariel are even indicative of the box we put women in now as they both softened their characters considerably and took away their edge to create a perfect victim which is so troubling (in the case of Cinderella w her stepfamily and Ariel w triton). Again, OG Snow White is timeless. These “modern updates” will seem dated in a few years and will make all the productions seem faddish. I appreciate your perspective though and you are very kind and generous to everyone involved.
I completely agree, they want women to be perfect, but their view of perfection is so flawed. I agree on Ariel and Cinderella live action losing their edge. They wanted the characters to be right so bad. Like Ariel and Triton arguing, in the original, she made the mistake of saying she loved him, which made Triton break her stuff (which he immediately felt bad for. But live action made her say all the right things (like she was preaching morals to him), and he felt no remorse...so unrealistic and bad main character writing. She should still be flawed, that's what makes their reconciliation worth it in the end, they both need to learn, but the live action took that away. They took away every bad thing you could say about Ariel, but it made her less three-dimensional. I think this live action Snow White will be way worse though, they'll think she's perfect but she won't be...worse than Mulan
I can’t believe she expects to be paid for all the time that that photo is streamed somewhere on the internet. That’s not how it works. Lily’s Cinderella was allowed to have emotions, and she didn’t have to save the day. She found power in forgiving, which doesn’t mean forgetting, but rather not letting someone else have the power over you. Halle’s Ariel was definitely Girl Boss who magically had the ability to steer ships because she doesn’t need a man to save her…even though Ariel and Eric took turns saving each other in the original, like equal partners.
@@diamondrainbow720 this take is so tired lol I literally have never even seen, read, or cared about twilight. You’re really comparing the first full length animated film that changed the film industry, established Disney as a company, and is one of the most culturally and historically significant accomplishments to…twilight?
i straight up just never liked snow white as a kid. i grew up with the disney renaissance and was obsessed with ariel, esmeralda and simba. i always forget snow white exists to be honest. so if the remake at least has heart and well-made, great. but i'm not surprised people are up in arms over a movie that has like nothing out yet, the same thing happened with the little mermaid.
What if you rewrite the live action versions of Pinocchio, Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, the Lion King and Mulan?
A thing that i don't understand when peoples complains about the love vs carreer thing is that there is this Jonathan who is apparently snow white's love interest , so in this movie , there gonna be a love story, so what is the problem?
Like I’m so excited but so worried for this movie. I somewhat enjoyed the Snow White movie face off from a decade ago but neither were amazing. Wildly, the thing they both had going for them that this doesn’t seem to so far was visuals. Snow White and the huntsman? It’s dumb as bricks of a script, it’s trend hopping and throws a random chosen one narrative that it kind of abandons by it’s sequel that even that steals tropes and trends of the time. BUT! It had visuals and aesthetics, costumes and Ravenna camped it up on every scene. Mirror Mirror same thing, it’s a little convoluted at times it’s pantomimey but the costumes ugh so good. But both those and once upon a time (which is one of the better Snow White adaptations albeit messy and convoluted) do this thing where they’re like how do we make Snow White feminist? SWORD! So all I ask at this point for this movie is please don’t girlboss her with a sword and armour and don’t for the love of all that’s holy don’t subvert the kiss please I beseech them. Do not have the prince kiss her and it not work for a statement we’ve had that it’s boring it’s done.
I feel like people vastly underestimate how hard it is to choose to be kind. Snow White grew up in terrible conditions and has every reason to be bitter and resentful towards the rest of her world. Instead, she chooses to be kind to everyone; from the evil queen who literally orders Snow's death because of extreme jealousy to the dwarves who are random strangers that live in the middle of a forrest. When I was in middle school, I read Fruits Basket (manga) and idolized Tohru's patience and kindness to all the other characters (I personally think Tohru Honda is a good starting point for making a contemporary Snow White). I tried to emulate that being kind and really listening to people through my tween and teen years, and it got harder and harder each year because I felt like I was putting so much effort to engage with my friends but they were only half-listening to me at the best of times. I actually wrote my college application essay on this whole "choosing kindness" part of my life because characters like Tohru and Snow White made such an impact on me.
People being upset that a Hispanic is playing Snow White are extremely ignorant because clearly y’all don’t know the difference between race and ethnicity
You really nailed it on the head, these remakes are regressive rather than progressive in their depictions of women. They act like all women need to be girlbosses, when many women don't care about that lifestyle and attitude. I loved your idea for Snow White to be the daughter of a strong queen (checking the girlboss box), but not wanting that type of life for herself. I wish Disney would go that route because it would make Snow White a more three-dimensional and realistic character. I also love the idea about Snow White and the Prince having a plan for if the Queen kills her.
Literally everything that could be improved and modernized about Snow White was done well in Once Upon A Time. People write that show off bc its premise is cheesy and it’s hella melodramatic but most of its characterization is fantastic- especially for Snow White and Prince Charming
I don't get why people say it's "a kiss without consent", they both love each other and it has been made clear at the start she reciprocate his feelings when he sang for her, both of them are already established as lovers that could kiss at any moment should they decide to do it, that is consent, they are by no means strangers, but because this is animation things are SUPER rushed, but the message is there, is no one seriously ever kiss their dead love one as a final goodbye? I never did it myself because I'm scared of dead people (uncanny valley, you can't make something dead look alive with makeup) but I heard few instances here and elsewhere of people brave themself in sorrow and do it as a goodbye. But I agree, the prince should be crying when he kiss her since this is a final goodbye kiss type of funeral practice. Edit: Or, the prince might have some unmentioned mental issue/incapable to crying if it's not private because he has been stoic in public his entire life, maybe people around him kept ignoring him emotionally by saying "boys don't cry" when he was a child. Anyway, people grief in their own way irl, but when it comes to film, you need to cry to show it.
This version of Snow White will end up single, childless, on head meds, blaiming men for all her shitty life choices, drinking boxed wine only to be eaten by her cats when she dies. Stunning and Brave Disney stunning and brave.
Tommy: i think they should take some tips from the creator's of Once upon a time. That showed that snow white was a brat as a kid, believing that only royalty can wear crowns, and her mother told her that she needs to act more like a queen, before her death. They also explain why the evil queen hate her so much! She was in love and snow promise not to tell and she does, causing her love to be killed. The reason of the story is about snow's dad death, causing snow white to be on the run, and she meets the prince and they fall in love, and the seven dwarfs have actually characteristics including their usual ones, and they are named the same as in the Disney animated film. There is even a poison apple And the kiss works because the show has 7 seasons to flesh out snow white and her prince, so when the kiss happens, it feels more believable. Only thing is it's not really a musical! It reminds me alot of a mixer of Cinderella 2015 and Maleficent 2014 combined together into the story of snow white! I think you will like it!
I think it’s all fair BUT Rachel‘s SAGAFTRA Strike speech was just so bad & honestly did make her appear very selfcentered, entitled & even narcissistic and did not at all help the cause she was there to support. Also some of the things she‘s said in interviews had nothing to do with what she was told by the pressteam of Disney & I still can‘t really stand behind that. Has nothing to do with talent (which I agree she has!) or skincolor just how She’s come across. I‘m willing to give the benefit of the doubt, Id never hate on her & think it’s WRONG for people to do so, I‘m just critical of what she‘s said & I think I‘m allowed to be.
I miss the days of 1998 when the shot-for-shot remake of Pyscho was a subject of ridicule and mockery for being ‘futile’ ‘soulless’ ‘redundant’ etc… as it should have been. And yet here we are now with the Lion King remake making over a billion dollars and people still frothing at the mouth for more uninspired regurgitation wrapped in some insipid nostalgia
I was never the biggest fan of Snow White growing up but I’m totally here for your vision of the story. Sad that it’s most likely not what we’re gonna get.

About the kiss without consent: Do you know that in the Grimm version, this kiss isn't even there? Snow White comes back to life because one of the dwarfs fell over a root while they were carrying her coffin, which made it fall down and this made the piece of apple Snow White had in her throat fall out. Apparently the poisonous apple only works while it is inside the body.
Very unrealistic, I know, but at least no kiss without consent.
Exactly! What I have a bigger issue with in the original story is the fact that she’s 14 and he’s almost 30! Like I get back in the 1500s people died earlier, but for modern times, I definitely feel like they should close up that age gap a bit. 😬😅
@@sammierose1150 That's made up tho. Its not confirmed at all
@@youtubewontletmetypeagoodu8128 It's not a made-up story. If you review interviews from that time period when the movie first came out, it was confirmed that she was a minor. Only reason they changed later on or some Disney reps denied it because they didn’t wanna get backlash later on. So they changed it. My grandma was born around that time, and she mentions that it was always the talk of the town that snow white was a minor. Even her personality and the way she interacts, it's evident that her lack of aspirations was due to her young age. Most teenagers don't have major aspirations. She acted very immature, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but you can clearly see she was extremely young and naive.
@@Tttttttttttttttt484 the balcony scene is also borrowed from Romeo and Juliet, and there had been also a Romeo and Juliet movie slightly before and also Juliet is underage, and so...that's the thing with classics.
@@felicity1877 what everyone seems to forget is that the Prince is not 30, that was never his age, it was closer to 18-20, younger men did not have beards, older men did. Prince Phillip was at least 20, and is the only male in the whole movie to be without a beard. Eugene is the first Disney Prince with facial hair, and he's been confirmed to be 26.
I agree about Rachel Zegler, she's probably just describing the film like she was told to describe it. She just seems outspoken and blunt so 🤷. I agree that what we know of the film doesn't look very promising.
I love ur ideas of how the live action should be
Disney doesn’t understand their assignment
Have you read Fairest by Gail Carson Levine? She adapted Snow White in an interesting way! Snow White wasn't a #girlboss! She was flawed and focused heavily on her appearance, she was not focused on leadership, but simply surviving in a cutthroat Court she wasn't born into! But she learns and grows, and makes mistakes! I feel like modern Disney doesn't allow their princesses to be flawed or make mistakes! Like LA Belle, or Cinderella, or Nala! Halle made her character feel distinctly Ariel, by giving her passion and drive, but also having her make a mistake or two!
Snow White isn't a warrior or a girlboss, and there's nothing wrong with that. She does dream of true love given her experience with the evil queen. Nothing wrong with that, either.
I completely agree with you. I think this is a very good and new aproch to repesent that types of people. Besides not everyone is the same, their are other ways how women or girls can can be strong. I hope the Disney adaptation gets to represent Snow White in the right way.
Despite my issues with TLM 2023, I think they were onto something with changing the location. Given that Rachel mentioned how big Blanca Nieves was in Latin America, I feel like Disney could've made a Snow White film (distinct from the original) set in a Latin American-inspired Kingdom, with original music and a new storyline. That way we all get what we want.
Her parents are dead and she is abused by her stepmother, of course she is dreaming of love. God I thought we dropped this pseudo-feminism four years ago
She is refering to romantic love , not parental or friendship love
frr
I have a problem with making feminine characters into girl bosses as a sign of "character" Growth. It was fine with Mulan since her culture expected her to be dainty, Mulan was intelligent and creative! But making Giselle, know for being sweet, and a hopeless romantic, wield a sword, was a bit much! She could've summoned her animal friends to distract Nerissa, or peck her eyes out!
Feminine characters can be girl bosses. Also that’s like the entire point of most Disney princess
@@psycoticcinnomonbun1804 Yeah but now a days people make girls like "Girl Bosses" all the time, it's like this feminist woke disease that people use if movies all the time now a days. I'm not trying to be rude but that's how I see it, and I feel very bad for those that think woman should just be girl bosses in movies. People are forgetting about the men and it's like all the things we say the men did to us were slowly doing it to them. :(
If u are put off by a girly girl wielding a sword then you're a 😺
It's funny because this "iconic true love's kiss scene" isn't even part of the original story. In the German fairy tale she wakes up because when the drawfs carry her in the coffin one of the drawfs stumbles and that jolt makes her spit out a piece of the apple so she wakes up. She was "dead" cause that apple she ate was stuck in her throat and she couldn't breathe, and not especially because of the poison.
I get why Disney changed it. It's not very lightful or final-scene-like to spit out a piece of apple instead of a magically kiss breaking a curse. But German fairy tales are something different
Here's the thing that I feel like a lot of people miss: Snow White, even the 1937 version, is not as helpless as people give her credit for. She could have just cried herself to death in the woods. Instead, she not only finds possible shelter, but devises a plan to convince the house owners into giving her refuge by being observant and resourceful and realizing one of her strengths is housekeeping, and that housekeeping might a key to saving her from the queen.
The 1959 Aurora is, really, a lot closer to what a lot of the hyper-feminists accuse Snow White of being: Aurora barely has 20 lines in the entire film and the most complex emotion she feels is sadness that her boyfriend can't come over. At least Snow White took care of herself and used the few skills she had to her advantage.
Even Aurora is not that bad simply because she's not the protagonist, she's the catalyst of the story, but the prince and the fairies protagonize it.
@emilyrouk1820 I mean, she's the one who proposed to be the housekeeper to the dwarves to earn her keep if you saw the cartoon recently so I wouldnt get that dramatic
Oh, she’s so strong, that she became a slave to 7 grown a** midgets. If that’s not misogynistic enough….
@emilyrouk1820 Its not, you're just cleaning your house while your husband goes to work wdym. It's just dividing all the work with your husband. Oh, wait your probably one of the brainwashed woke people.
I think Snow White should have been white because it is a core to her character but with Ariel it did not matter to race swap her honestly I think that was an amazing idea but Snow White should in my opinion should stay white as snow
The actress is white. Remember, Latino is a it’s not a race but an ethnicity. So race wise she is white;
ethnicity she is Latino.
There’s literally red carpet pictures of her being very pale. She gets darker obviously in the summer.
@@Tttttttttttttttt484so rachel skin color is fair?
@@Indonesianboy google is your friend bud
when I saw her with pale face especially in some west side story shots, my first thought was that's Snow White. and hey, she has at last black hair. naturally pitch black hair. most snow white actresses might been more pale naturally, but mostly they were blond,red or brown, and so they needed to dye their hair for the part. and snow white is the only princess traditionally depicted with black hair in fairy tales. she absolutely matters for representation, not her skin color (;

Thank you for every single point you made, especially about the meaning of the name “Snow White”. 👏🏽
I’m also still hopeful for this movie and would live to hopefully one day see your movie ideas come to life! Tbh they should let RUclipsrs line you direct movies at this point 🙌🏽
Instead have one of the Dwarves kiss her on the cheek, or the Forehead. Maleficent or Frozen style. Have the Big Kiss when Snow is Conscious!
This is a better way to update the film than what they’re actually trying to do.
But it’s sad that Disney is most likely not gonna let this happen. And will continue to go the wrong direction with this.
The Little Mermaid was a good example on how to update a story from the past for modern audiences. (Of coarse it could have done a few things a little bit better) But it was good.
And now suddenly we get this? Either it’s the crew who are making the movie, the company or both. (Probably both) that are to blame for this.
I’m not even bothered that a Latina is going to be Snow White. She’s not even that dark.
(At least on some pictures) just wish she respected the original film more.
But I don’t think we should deny that snow white’s skin tone is an iconic trait. Just like Ariel’s was her hair.
Sure her name doesn’t come from the fact that her skin is almost white as snow In the 1937 version. Cause they never mention that part.
But the mirror mentioned she has “skin white as snow” along with the other features like her red lips and black hair.
It bothers me a little bit because her appearance is mentioned in the original movie. And I’m just left thinking, what will they do with that?
But oh well. She isn’t even that dark anyway. We have bigger problems, like with how much they changed the story and character’s.
THANK YOU! To me (also as a mixed race person) it’s laughable that they consider her to be “brown” when, just like Meghan Markle, she’s literally one shade off from being “white”. The bigger issue I have with this remake is that they’re completely changing the entire trajectory of the original story without tastefully updating it in a way that protects the integrity of the original storyline and showcases the true positive attributes of the characters.
The actress that plays snow right now has pale skin. I don’t know why people are calling her brown skin. She’s literally a white passing Latino.
It’s also good to know and his channel has mentioned it, that snow white was never white as snow, nor pale skin she actually had a tan. His past videos has comparisons shoots….
People also forget that Latino is a culture is not a race. So the actress race is actually white but culturally she’s Latino because again Latino is not a race.
@@sammierose1150 in my personal opinion, and that’s just my personal opinion, but the snow White sucks is one of the worst Disney princesses, so I actually might like the changes lol
@@Tttttttttttttttt484 Good point. But while Snow White isn’t exactly white as snow. She doesn’t really have a tan. And for most of the movie, she’s actually really pale skinned.
Those other comparison photos are just parts of the movie where the appearance doesn’t match up. So yeah, not white as snow, probably just an exaggerated description for really pale skin.
The live action Snow White now just has a skin-tone that most white people have. And most of the white people I’ve seen don’t have really pale skin that’s almost white. But I still don’t really have any actual problem with the casting. Other than what the actress thinks of the original film.
I’m probably being to picky about skin color though. I did say she wasn’t even that dark.
But I like the idea of Snow White being named for her purity over the color of her skin like the original Grimms fairytale.
This is perfect for what the film should be
Why do you think that?
I think it should be a straight remake of 1937
@@shawnrheaume7114 No because there is no point in doing that if you are going to remake or reimagine something it cannot be a carbon copy it has to be different in some way
@@shawnrheaume7114 Then that is not a remake that is a carbon copy done in a medium that cannot fully encapsulate the enchanting atmosphere of animation
We can't judge the movie yet, so I'm not sure what to expect. I agree that people are too harsh on the actress; she's just doing her job, echoing what Disney wants. We should focus criticism on Disney and the writers, not the actress. While I don't know much about her, being a model and actress myself, I liked how Eric pursued Halle in The Little Mermaid, showing mutual interest despite her saving him. Changes could make her more confident while desiring true love. It's fair to mention Snow White's youth (she was a minor) in the original, which explains her lack of aspirations.
I agree with your other changes, except for the dwarves. There shouldn't be a deep scene between Snow White and Grumpy. The original dwarves' names and attitudes should remain, portraying characters without relying on stereotypes.
I'll STILL give it a chance. Loved the live-action mermaid and I'm a Barbie fan. They might Photoshop the seven characters into dwarves, who knows.
When you decide not to pay to see a movie, you’ve judged it.
I don’t know where you found the photo of Miss Zegler at 2:06, but she looks just like Snow White there! I just hope the people working on the film are smart and have a sense of detail and do her makeup similar to that, otherwise it would be a huge wasted opportunity.
I agree with all of your takes about TLM and we share similar insights. That being said, swap the actress out because without trying to sugar coat anything, she clearly doesn’t like the original story nor the character enough to bring meaning to a live action remake. Rewrite the story and match the heart Cinderella brought on screen because it doesn’t seem like it is going that route rn.
She’s paid to promote the movie, so she’ll repeat things the writers, producers, and Disney want her to say. If anything, we should be more critical of Disney and the writers, not the actress. While I don’t know much about her, I’m aware of this aspect, being a model and commercial actress.
You can literally look on her social media and she is extremely grateful to have this role
YES! Thank you!
I myself was thinking of how to change it up where Snow doesn’t go completely girl boss like all the other Disney girls. I had an idea where she knows that she has to return home to face the queen if the leaks are anything to go off of after waking up, but she has all this pressure to live up to her beloved saintly parents. She gets frustrated at her lack of ideas for her to do by herself when someone (I was thinking grumpy) would say something like “of course you don’t have all the answer. No one ever has all the answers to every single problem right away. Not even this guy” he says while elbowing Doc or whoever the leader is. Then the dwarfs would all agree and say that that they rely on each other and while you can be smart in one or multiple areas, there are still plenty of things that you could still need help with and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s why her parents were so loved: their kindness, generosity, willing to help anyone in need, and they even had a council of advisers that consisted of people living in the kingdom. With that, Snow gets an idea and leads everyone back to the castle. It’s still technically girl boss, but it’s not the warrior “Mary sue” girl boss that Disney is making a cliché at this point for every live action girl.
But I really like your idea with the dwarfs.
Tommy Ross tells the best casting and storylines
They should rewrite this movie
If Greta Gerwig or Guillermo del Toro rewrite this Snow White live action, the story and characters would be make a lot more sense than what Disney is doing
@@blackskyboii Yes cause even Greta worked on the screenplay, most of the ideas come of Erin Cressida who have been working on the script since 2016 when was confirmed the movie. Greta came later
@@jovic_sawyer Oh k that's true tho
The weird thing is Disney was doing better with the rewriting with the little mermaid but then it’s like they went completely off track I don’t even know what to make of this really
⚠️warning of a lot of text, above all good video
wow, I liked your interpretation, not necessarily a woman or human being in general is strong because of her physical strength, she is also strong because of how she faces problems and how she grows and develops in her life as you narrated.
the idea of the kiss that by loving each other so much their kisses would wake them up from death promising that if it happens they would kiss... it seems so corny to me that it's perfect and that would be great.
I, as someone who has not liked live action since 2016 or 2017, since I did not like most of the productions from there, lagging behind with respect to their animated versions, I recognize and even applaud that at least Ariel has been one of the female characters in disney that still kept many remnants of her personality in her live action, I wonder why they don't keep doing it, besides, I feel that the issue of being promoted as snow white"""latin""" (it is considered very American in Latin America), it did not lead anywhere because they did not take advantage of transferring the history of Germany to "nueva granada" (Colombia) of the 16th century, as they did with the little mermaid that was transferred to the Caribbean.
And about Greta... who assures us that production and directors have not gotten their dirty hands into the already written script?, it happens more than one thinks.
Actually, regarding the name, the adaptation of the 30s does not mention the three characteristics of Snow White, they only mention that in the story where it is called Snow White because it is white as snow so that more later the queen died of complications from childbirth
I know you don't have to draw quick conclusions, at least for me the vast majority of live action is destined to be MID and I would have preferred new animated reinterpretations of the same stories since that was the thing that made Disney great.
I'm totally on board with everything you suggested until you get to the dwarfs. I've thought about writing a prequel fanfiction for a while now, and I just might implement some of your suggestions if you don't mind.
Also, while I have zero desire to see Snow White 2024, that fanart at 0:41 of Rachel Zegler in Snow White's dress is pretty darn good.
I so agree with the man they should just recast the ppl who acting as the dwarfs.
Well said. director and crew go watch the animated version. Take notes. don't change the story elevate it. To be continued.
I have never seen the cartoon Snow White film and so I am all for watching the cartoon and and the new live action.
I personally just want to say, that people, under no circumstances, should be harassing the actress. Like seriously, the backlash she is facing is really gross.
Replying to the shit she says on public platforms or in response to shit she says isn’t harassment just because it’s not praise.
@@NoelleTakestheSky People are treating her like she committed a war crime. And lets not even get into some of the racist undertones of it all. I respectfully disagree with her on some of her points, but I'm not going to act like she's a bad person or casting choice.
I agree with you on this video
Snow White’s also just a 14 year old child… obviously she’ll be older, but still. That shouldn’t change her character. I agree with these changes that you added or took out. Also, there’s nothing wrong with a character like Snow White wanting to find romance… again, also she’s a freaking child. Your changes are very important to not just relatability, but also just refreshing for storytelling for Disney remakes
Snow White is perfect the way it is. The original story is about puberty (the girl falls asleep at around 12 or 13 and wakes up when she's an adult).
And in the movie, she actually has a character arc, and a good one. Disney made the movie during the era of the great depression, showing a girl who, though of noble origin, does not mind rolling up her sleeves. At first she has to, because the queen makes her, but she does not complain. She dreams of "the one she loves to find her", which shows that she does not want anyone to save her from rags but merely to find someone who cares for her at last. Having to run into the forest, at first she is frightened, but she does not cry for anyone to rescue her. Then she realizes that the creatures of the woods are actually harmless and learns that with kindness and cheerfulness she can make friends in the great unknown. She is led to the hut of the dwarves and immediately decides to do something for them, i.e. cleaning up and cooking. She makes a real home of their mess. Later we see her being strict in a motherly way, asking the dwarves to wash their hands before they eat. But she also sings and dances with them. She tells them that she hopes for her prince to find her again, but does not expect him to "save" her.
As for the non-consensual kiss, it's one of the most foolish interpretations I have ever heard. Please, watch the movie again!! Everybody believes her to be DEAD, that's why they build her a coffin! How should they know that she's just in a deep sleep? How should a supposedly DEAD person give her consent?! The prince is so sad when he finds her because he believes she died in the meantime. He kisses her GOODBYE before hanging his head in grief. But since this is a fairy tale, something beautiful and magical must happen - not having been actually dead, she wakes up and he takes her home.
Sorry, I didn't mean to insult your video. You have some points. But these "modern" interpretations are so stupid that they make me want to bang my head against the wall. Non-consensual, my goodness, these self-appointed feminists need to grow a brain.
Yeah like I’m 14 and if I died I would t mind my crush kissing me goodbye haha

I'm a MASSIVE fan of Rachel, so I really want this to work, especially with Greta Gerwig writing it.
Thank God we got _Cinderella (2015)_ when we did because we would have gotten another _Cinderella (2021)_ and that wasn't needed at all.
I respect your take but I think you’re being wayyyy too considerate to her. She literally called the Prince in the original a stalker and speaks about it with such disdain, putting Snow White as a character down and the original production. She clearly doesn’t understand or respect it and this is one of the most important films in film history- the basis from which this entire company was built upon. She’s admitted to not liking the original and never having a connection to it. The only reason she likes this movie is because of her presence in it and it’s giving her attention and money and a starring role in something lol for a movie this important, I want someone who understands the story and resonates with it and it means something to that person. Not someone who’s doing the story equivalent of “let’s tear this wall down and build a new one hjuck hjuck!” Also it’s been confirmed that Rachel pitched story and it was approved for a few sequences, so she does have input. And the disrespectful way she talked about the actor who played the prince potentially losing his job…while she’s talking about needing streaming shares from a movie that hasn’t come out yet because she has to stand in a princess dress😅
I will say the original Snow White was incredible in so many ways and its storytelling is timeless. The things people criticize is because we’ve grown more cynical as a society and can’t accept fairytales and fantasy anymore. The updates Rachel’s talking about are ones we’ve seen to three different Snow White adaptions in the last decade and just showcase how limited we allow women to be now- they can only be strong in one way, only emote in others, and always be autonomous and in control no matter what, which totally defeats realism or creating any types of stakes. It puts more pressure on women to be perfect Mary Sues like the Snow White remake and I think both Lily’s Cinderella and Halle’s Ariel are even indicative of the box we put women in now as they both softened their characters considerably and took away their edge to create a perfect victim which is so troubling (in the case of Cinderella w her stepfamily and Ariel w triton). Again, OG Snow White is timeless. These “modern updates” will seem dated in a few years and will make all the productions seem faddish. I appreciate your perspective though and you are very kind and generous to everyone involved.
I completely agree, they want women to be perfect, but their view of perfection is so flawed. I agree on Ariel and Cinderella live action losing their edge. They wanted the characters to be right so bad. Like Ariel and Triton arguing, in the original, she made the mistake of saying she loved him, which made Triton break her stuff (which he immediately felt bad for. But live action made her say all the right things (like she was preaching morals to him), and he felt no remorse...so unrealistic and bad main character writing. She should still be flawed, that's what makes their reconciliation worth it in the end, they both need to learn, but the live action took that away. They took away every bad thing you could say about Ariel, but it made her less three-dimensional. I think this live action Snow White will be way worse though, they'll think she's perfect but she won't be...worse than Mulan
I can’t believe she expects to be paid for all the time that that photo is streamed somewhere on the internet. That’s not how it works.
Lily’s Cinderella was allowed to have emotions, and she didn’t have to save the day. She found power in forgiving, which doesn’t mean forgetting, but rather not letting someone else have the power over you.
Halle’s Ariel was definitely Girl Boss who magically had the ability to steer ships because she doesn’t need a man to save her…even though Ariel and Eric took turns saving each other in the original, like equal partners.
boo hoo. Nobody said shit when Jordan Pattinson criticised twilight 😂
@@diamondrainbow720 this take is so tired lol I literally have never even seen, read, or cared about twilight. You’re really comparing the first full length animated film that changed the film industry, established Disney as a company, and is one of the most culturally and historically significant accomplishments to…twilight?
i straight up just never liked snow white as a kid. i grew up with the disney renaissance and was obsessed with ariel, esmeralda and simba. i always forget snow white exists to be honest. so if the remake at least has heart and well-made, great. but i'm not surprised people are up in arms over a movie that has like nothing out yet, the same thing happened with the little mermaid.
What if you rewrite the live action versions of Pinocchio, Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, the Lion King and Mulan?
A thing that i don't understand when peoples complains about the love vs carreer thing is that there is this Jonathan who is apparently snow white's love interest , so in this movie , there gonna be a love story, so what is the problem?
Apparently he’s a role so small that he could be written out. He’s a friend, at most, if he can be written out. That’s according to Rachel herself.

YES! he said "love you" I LOVE YOU TOO BESTIE!
Like I’m so excited but so worried for this movie. I somewhat enjoyed the Snow White movie face off from a decade ago but neither were amazing. Wildly, the thing they both had going for them that this doesn’t seem to so far was visuals. Snow White and the huntsman? It’s dumb as bricks of a script, it’s trend hopping and throws a random chosen one narrative that it kind of abandons by it’s sequel that even that steals tropes and trends of the time. BUT! It had visuals and aesthetics, costumes and Ravenna camped it up on every scene. Mirror Mirror same thing, it’s a little convoluted at times it’s pantomimey but the costumes ugh so good. But both those and once upon a time (which is one of the better Snow White adaptations albeit messy and convoluted) do this thing where they’re like how do we make Snow White feminist? SWORD!
So all I ask at this point for this movie is please don’t girlboss her with a sword and armour and don’t for the love of all that’s holy don’t subvert the kiss please I beseech them. Do not have the prince kiss her and it not work for a statement we’ve had that it’s boring it’s done.
I feel like people vastly underestimate how hard it is to choose to be kind. Snow White grew up in terrible conditions and has every reason to be bitter and resentful towards the rest of her world. Instead, she chooses to be kind to everyone; from the evil queen who literally orders Snow's death because of extreme jealousy to the dwarves who are random strangers that live in the middle of a forrest.
When I was in middle school, I read Fruits Basket (manga) and idolized Tohru's patience and kindness to all the other characters (I personally think Tohru Honda is a good starting point for making a contemporary Snow White). I tried to emulate that being kind and really listening to people through my tween and teen years, and it got harder and harder each year because I felt like I was putting so much effort to engage with my friends but they were only half-listening to me at the best of times. I actually wrote my college application essay on this whole "choosing kindness" part of my life because characters like Tohru and Snow White made such an impact on me.
People being upset that a Hispanic is playing Snow White are extremely ignorant because clearly y’all don’t know the difference between race and ethnicity
Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
Who's the stupidest one of all?
You really nailed it on the head, these remakes are regressive rather than progressive in their depictions of women. They act like all women need to be girlbosses, when many women don't care about that lifestyle and attitude.
I loved your idea for Snow White to be the daughter of a strong queen (checking the girlboss box), but not wanting that type of life for herself. I wish Disney would go that route because it would make Snow White a more three-dimensional and realistic character. I also love the idea about Snow White and the Prince having a plan for if the Queen kills her.
This should be been called a PRE-write
Theres nothing wrong with recreating female characters into girlbosses. People feel threatened and ruined when you break traditionalism.
Ok
Literally everything that could be improved and modernized about Snow White was done well in Once Upon A Time. People write that show off bc its premise is cheesy and it’s hella melodramatic but most of its characterization is fantastic- especially for Snow White and Prince Charming
I don't get why people say it's "a kiss without consent", they both love each other and it has been made clear at the start she reciprocate his feelings when he sang for her, both of them are already established as lovers that could kiss at any moment should they decide to do it, that is consent, they are by no means strangers, but because this is animation things are SUPER rushed, but the message is there, is no one seriously ever kiss their dead love one as a final goodbye? I never did it myself because I'm scared of dead people (uncanny valley, you can't make something dead look alive with makeup) but I heard few instances here and elsewhere of people brave themself in sorrow and do it as a goodbye. But I agree, the prince should be crying when he kiss her since this is a final goodbye kiss type of funeral practice.
Edit: Or, the prince might have some unmentioned mental issue/incapable to crying if it's not private because he has been stoic in public his entire life, maybe people around him kept ignoring him emotionally by saying "boys don't cry" when he was a child. Anyway, people grief in their own way irl, but when it comes to film, you need to cry to show it.
This version of Snow White will end up single, childless, on head meds, blaiming men for all her shitty life choices, drinking boxed wine only to be eaten by her cats when she dies. Stunning and Brave Disney stunning and brave.

Tommy: i think they should take some tips from the creator's of Once upon a time. That showed that snow white was a brat as a kid, believing that only royalty can wear crowns, and her mother told her that she needs to act more like a queen, before her death. They also explain why the evil queen hate her so much! She was in love and snow promise not to tell and she does, causing her love to be killed. The reason of the story is about snow's dad death, causing snow white to be on the run, and she meets the prince and they fall in love, and the seven dwarfs have actually characteristics including their usual ones, and they are named the same as in the Disney animated film. There is even a poison apple And the kiss works because the show has 7 seasons to flesh out snow white and her prince, so when the kiss happens, it feels more believable. Only thing is it's not really a musical! It reminds me alot of a mixer of Cinderella 2015 and Maleficent 2014 combined together into the story of snow white! I think you will like it!
I think it’s all fair BUT Rachel‘s SAGAFTRA Strike speech was just so bad & honestly did make her appear very selfcentered, entitled & even narcissistic and did not at all help the cause she was there to support. Also some of the things she‘s said in interviews had nothing to do with what she was told by the pressteam of Disney & I still can‘t really stand behind that. Has nothing to do with talent (which I agree she has!) or skincolor just how She’s come across. I‘m willing to give the benefit of the doubt, Id never hate on her & think it’s WRONG for people to do so, I‘m just critical of what she‘s said & I think I‘m allowed to be.
It should be shot by shot remake
I miss the days of 1998 when the shot-for-shot remake of Pyscho was a subject of ridicule and mockery for being ‘futile’ ‘soulless’ ‘redundant’ etc… as it should have been.
And yet here we are now with the Lion King remake making over a billion dollars and people still frothing at the mouth for more uninspired regurgitation wrapped in some insipid nostalgia
@@peyotebritta Lion King reboot hurt my eyes
Snow white is not even "brown" browm. She's light.
