Using CGI and Political Theme: Disney's 'Snow White' Remake Sparks Debate

Still from the movie 'Snow White' (2025)

These issues divide opinions on Disney's remake.

Disney's live-action remake of Snow White, directed by Marc Webb and set for release on March 21, 2025, has sparked controversy. The film stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, with a $270 million budget. A major point of contention is the CGI depiction of the Seven Dwarfs instead of casting actors with dwarfism, which actor Peter Dinklage criticized as "backward" and harmful to authentic representation.

The film's reviews are mixed. Some praise its political themes and Zegler's performance, while others find it lacking depth. Critics like David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter rate it favorably among live-action adaptations, while Owen Gleiberman of Variety notes its pointed political message.
