The article critiques Disney's 2025 remake of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," arguing that the studio's lack of original creativity leads to unnecessary reboots. This adaptation features a contemporary twist, with the evil queen depicted as an oppressive figure, forcing her male subjects into military roles. While the execution isn't entirely devoid of merit, the overall feel is described as formulaic and forgettable. The lead characters, portrayed by Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, offer fresh performances but struggle to overcome the film's uninspired roots.
"Disney has seemingly lost all ability or inclination to make new hits and would rather rifle through its back catalog instead."
"Modernizing the lovably retro 'Snow White' was a dopey idea to begin with, and while the execution isn't horrible, the formulaic update is sleepy."
"In this version, the evil queen not only torments her fairest-of-em-all stepdaughter, but is an oppressive monarch who's forced all of her male subjects to become soldiers."
"Zegler adds a hint of edge to sweet Snow and has a nice pop voice that's different from what we heard in 'West Side Story.'"
