Snow White (2025)

This

is also straight up victim blaming.

Running into traffic is highly dangerous, anyone with a brain knows this. But a young woman giving her honest opinion about a movie is...nowhere near close.

And yes, if that's your statement on the subject, then you do think she deserves it. You're literally saying she brought it on herself.

This is true. Especially when Disney already has a popular live action adaptation of Snow White. Once Upon a Time which didn't end that long ago.

Well, Zegler is at least right in that telling the original story unchanged in 2023 would be… awkward at best.

Little Mermaid 2023 found a pretty good balance, it's theoretical this could too. Also, Greta Gerwig's involved I hear. That also helps instill more confidence too.

The most awkward thing in the original I know of would be 7 dwarfs living in with a tall Disney Princess.

Little Mermaid's boon is that it was pretty close to the film, from what I saw, with a few changes. Snow White, like Mulan before it, is sounding more ambitous to put it nicely.

I ended up liking Mulan but definitely didn't know why they felt the need to change it.

Again, balancing act. Mulan 2020 was too different it seems. Snow White 2025 needs similarities to the original while having a little bit of its own flavor too.

I like the idea of the peddlers who get involved somehow too—and also hope the way she interacts with the Prince is given depth like Ariel's dynamic with Eric in the new film was too. Helps expand things beyond just her interactions with the Dwarfs.

they probably will expand on Snow White's life prior to being a prisoner of the queen,and possibly the Huntsman as well

It's not really just plain "change" that made Mulan bad. The changes didn't really add anything and just made the movie inferior, not to mention how double-standard it had. "No Mushu because we don't want any mysticism or humor" but then they proceed to do the exact same thing.

What made Mulan bad is that it misses the hard work point of the original film.

Thats in addition to ruining and just being plain wrong about how Chi works in Chinese Fantasy works.

I think if this movie can be to the original Snow White what Cinderella 2015 was to the original Cinderella—and Jungle Book 2016, it'll definitely help.

Besides, now that Disney owns Fox, they conveniently own the best live action adaptation of Cinderella anyway

Well it's on Disney+ now, isn't it? Haha.

Could totally see Disney doing a live action Anastasia themselves rather than putting it out through 20th Century. As I said, so many people had thought Anastasia was a Disney movie anyway. Haha.

Back on Snow White 2025, since Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman were both different from each other and from the original Disney movie, it's good that a version that's gonna be closer to that classic film would come out because it'll be easily distinguishable from those two non-Disney versions certainly.

> Could totally see Disney doing a live action Anastasia themselves rather than putting it out through 20th Century.

Disney is probably only interested in remaking disney properties

They’ve already done it for Home Alone, and both the Alien and Predator series. Nothing’s out of the blue for a creatively-bankrupt studio like Disney’s live-action department.

Again, this is a thread for Snow White, not just complaining about Disney in general or even their live action movies.

We have a Disney Live action thread. Though that's not just for ceaseless complaining, either.

I'm hoping Disney’s course-correcting and pushing for much better success in the coming year so that a lot of good-will is restored and it helps save both Snow White 2025 and Rachel Zegler too (specifically with other stuff she might be in in the next year to hopefully help her winning more than just her diehard fans over too. Snow White 2025 has definitely gotta make people want to get excited—especially if those people are ones behind Little Mermaid 2023.
