Disney’s Snow White
Warning!
Spoilers for Disney’s Snow White ahead!
Now, said and done, we can look at howSnow Whitecompares.
Rachel Zegler was a triumph, and young audiences are sure to adoreSnow White.
Still,the remake lost some things that made the original great.
I can understand why.

There is certainly more to aspire to than only romance, but old Hollywood would suggest otherwise.
Snow White has a new love interest named Jonathan, replacing The Prince in the 2025 live-action remake.
Thankfully, 2025’sSnow Whitestill saw Zegler’s character awoken from her sleeping death by true love’s first kiss.

A significant part ofSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs’s charm was the simple pleasure of an idealized love.
The artists at Disney spent hours upon hours drawing each cell in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

In the case of 2025’sSnow White, we got a more complexbackstory for Snow White’s kingdom.
Movies like 1937’sSnow White and the Seven Dwarfsleft a lot more to audiences' imaginations.
The movie didn’t have to show a full kingdom since it was implied that it was there.
Ultimately,there is something beautiful about the simplicity.
They provided comedy, and each individual dwarf was easy to love for their own unique reason.
The same is true, to an extent, for the newSnow Whitemovie.
They serve a similarly comedic role, but Disney botched the design.
Disney took the CGI route with the dwarfs of 2025’sSnow White.
The crankiest of the dwarfs had been entirely against Snow White staying, and the princess knew it.
Instead,the live-action movie focused on Snow White and Dopey’s relationship.
Still sweet, but just not the same.
It was a bit terrifying, but that only made the whole thing more thrilling.

It was also a rather long sequence in the animated movie.
The queen worked her way through the ingredients, narrating her process as she did.
Then, the transformation was dramatic and exciting.
By comparison,Gal Gadot’s transformation inSnow Whitewas a bit anticlimactic.
What’s more, it was always evident that this was Gadot in prosthetic makeup.
It ultimately seemed likea needless change that only diminished the story.
In the original version, the villain died shortly after poisoning Snow White.
The ending was visually interesting but lacked the iconic irony that made the originalSnow White’s ending so delicious.
