Disney’s Snow White: Trailer Talk

No, this isn’t a horror version, like last week’s article, but the trailer for Disney’s live action remake of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’.

‘Snow White’ is the remake of the first ever full-length animated film, that follows a runaway princess and a jealous Queen who aims to destroy her.

To give credit where it’s due, it’s doing something that the live action ‘Aladdin’ remake did, which is answer questions that the original film asked. The remake appears to be giving Snow White and the Queen more of a backstory and portraying Snow White as a strong female character, which is an aspect I really appreciate. Plus, with more of the story being told, the dynamic between the two makes more sense.

However, controversial castings aside, it visually looks terrible. The CGI is horrific and cheap looking, and the dwarves themselves look like something out of a nightmare. It’s such a missed opportunity when it comes to the dwarves because real people could’ve portrayed the dwarves instead; if Disney really wanted to be inclusive, then that’s the direction they should’ve gone in.

Even though I can appreciate the remake answering questions from its source material, this is still a film that should never have been given the Disney remake treatment. It’s such an important piece in movie history that it feels almost disrespectful to do so. With this and the ‘Lilo & Stitch’ remake coming next year though, my only hope is that they’ll run out of films fans didn’t want remade, and start focusing on ones that do deserve the live action treatment.
