Unfortunately,Snow Whiteand other live-action remakes performed far worse.
Though Disney’s live-actionSnow Whiteremake had potential, the film seemed to disappoint critics.
It currently holds a47% critic score onRotten Tomatoes, with some reviews going as far as callingSnow Whiteunwatchable.
This isn’t the first time that a live-action remake has flopped.
This is concerning, especially sinceDisney hasn’t slowed down its plans to adapt more classics to live-action.
So,there are several things the company should keep in mind.

The Little Mermaid(2023) is another that struggled in this regard.
Disney must find a way to eliminate that “uncanny valley” sensation that the movies inspire.
Some Disney remakes have managed this better than others.

This is a lesson Disney must apply to its future projects.
Rather than cast singers, extensive audio editing was used to keep the stars on key.
In the case ofSnow White, Rachel Zegler did a phenomenal job performing her various songs.
Disney’s live-action movies must prioritize vocal talent as much as its animated projects do.
This is a bit trickier with live-action since sets must be constructed or CGI utilized.
There were several gorgeous scenes inSnow White, but many others lacked the whimsical artistry of the animated versions.

The Little Mermaidwas criticized for a similar reason.
Without anything new added to the story, the live-actionPinocchiowas rather dull to watch.
2019’sThe Lion Kingalso struggled in this regard.
One example of this isMulan.
It’s critical that Disney remember that the target audiences must remain the same.
