Eighty-seven years after the original animal lover and dwarf nurturer came to life from movie magic, “Snow White” has made its way into theaters with a live-action remake.

The 2025 remake of the Grimm Fairy Tale’s iconic story of “Snow White” had its debut March 21, 2025. As there are some differences between the fairytales and Walt Disney’s production, the movie itself had a little bit of slander before making it to the theatres. Leaving out all outside factors, I went into the theater not knowing any of the critiques the outside world had to say.

It was a big deal for me to watch the live-action remake of the original “Snow White,” because it had been years since the last time I watched the film as a little girl, sitting criss-cross right in front of my old box tv, wearing a princess dress with finger foods beside me.

I enjoyed the good versus evil theme the princess so effortlessly portrays, since there will always be a fight against the evils in this world. It takes someone of courage, patience, kindness and bravery to work against the schemes of the enemy, in this case the Evil Queen played by Gal Gadot. Though there was a topic of discussion on Rachel Zegler’s ability to play Snow White, she did a wonderful job as the animal lover that the original movie is known for.

After hearing the dispute between Gadot and Zegler, I was very impressed by the amount of cordialness between the two actresses who both had one mission: play our roles and play them well.

Considering Walt Disney’s 1938 “Snow White,” I did notice there were some changes. Snow White seemed to be a bit more bossy and sassy this time around, when in the original she was depicted as an innocent princess who had a very sympathetic personality, which ultimately led her to be deceived. In the live-action movie, there is an underlying independence within the character of Snow White. Another noticeable change was when the huntsman returned after allegedly killing Snow White, he did not give the Evil Queen a pig’s heart.

In the original plot of “Snow White”, the prince sought after Snow White and rescued her from the evil spell she was under, defeating the Queen’s evil power within Snow White. In the live-action that still happened; however, he was not a prince. He was a bandit and a thief, which was something I did not enjoy.

I also agree with how disappointed the media was with the new film. Critics had the rightful controversy about not casting actors with dwarfism as the seven dwarfs. The original idea of the dwarfs in this story were a wonderful idea, and I loved the part they played within the movie as magical creatures who were seemingly identical to their hand drawn characters. However, I was saddened that they missed an intentional opportunity to include seven actors with dwarfism in the film.

Although there were some differences and some do-betters, I would watch “Snow White” again. “Snow White” is still in theatres and comes soon to Disney plus, Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video.
