Disney's 'Snow White', a live-action remake, cost $270 million and restricted media access during premieres, likely due to controversy surrounding its casting. Rachel Zegler, of Colombian and Polish descent, faced racist backlash for portraying the titular character. This film reinterprets Snow White's name as a symbol of resilience rather than skin color and shifts the narrative focus away from traditional romantic tropes, depicting the prince as a 'stalker'. These changes reflect an ongoing evolution in fairy tale adaptations and a challenge to outdated perceptions.
Racist comments started in June 2021 when Rachel Zegler was revealed as the star of 'Snow White', leading to an examination of diversity in casting.
Rachel Zegler explained that the name 'Snow White' refers to resilience in the revised fairy tale, moving away from traditional depictions.
