The latest Disney live-action remake of Snow White has drawn criticism for weaving unnecessary lore into the classic tale. Unlike the traditional narrative, the film introduces convoluted details about political and military conflicts, the function of the monarchy, and the economy of the kingdom. With ambiguities surrounding its setting and battles, viewers question the need for deeper understanding of characters, particularly the motivations of the Evil Queen. This remake highlights a trend where beloved stories are expanded with irrelevant backstories and complexities that distract from their original charm.
Under Snow White's parents' rule, everything seemed like an agrarian paradise, a loosely medieval kingdom where everyone is always eating fruit and/or pies and/or fruit pies.
Never has the encroaching specter of lore been more apparent than this weekend's film, which introduces a number of aggressively irrelevant details to further complicate its new take on an unimpeachable classic.
