Snow White' review: It's live-action and insurrection time for the apple of Disney's eye
Briefly

Disney continues to produce live-action adaptations of its beloved animated films, a strategy that often prioritizes financial gain over artistic innovation. Despite concerns of self-cannibalization in creativity, films like 'Snow White' contribute significantly to the studio's revenue, echoing past successes such as 'The Jungle Book' and 'Beauty and the Beast'. Director Marc Webb’s adaptation has been described as one of the better iterations, thanks to its brisk runtime and strong performances, particularly by lead Rachel Zegler, although challenges remain, especially in portraying the iconic dwarfs from the original animated classic.
