The fantasy adventure Snow White is another film in the growing list, with which Disney reveals animated classics as a real films. This time the very first full-length Disney sign film, Snow White and the seven dwarfs from 1937, was redrown. 88 years later the question arises: for whom is the visit to the cinema from the March 20, 2025 suitable?
Age rating of Disney’s Snow White: What is the FSK?
The first reactions have been praised Snow White as the “best remake in years” and our Moviepilot opinion on the film is also extremely positive. What stands in the way of the common family cinema visit is the age rating of the history, in which a king’s daughter (Rachel Zegler) rebel against her evil stepmother (Gal Gadot).
The German voluntary self -control of the film industry has Snow White with one FSK 0 released, i.e. without age restriction. However, it is not entirely true that there are no creepy scenes.
The story of Snow White is simple and easy to understand, even without prior knowledge of the former Disney film or the Grimm fairy tale. When asked about suitability, each parent can of course best judge their own child and their fears, which is why some potentially terrifying scenes find closer attention here (Attention, spoiler).
Snow White 2025: Potentially difficult topics for the very small
Parents loss Of course there are nothing new in Disney films, again this time they are an important topic in the context of growing up. The Disney remake Snow White by Marc Webb, however, does not show an active death of mother or father, but rather transports the loss at a more general level of absence or disappearance.
The too gruesome fairy tale facets are weakened: Instead of a required (animal) heart that the queen demands as proof of the hunter, there is now an apple in the box brought back, for example. The evil queen, also in her transformation as an old witch, could be a little scared of sensitive minds.
Teasingthat are reminiscent of bullying when, for example, the smallest dwarf dopey is laughed at for his speechlessness, and argument under the dwarfs, but are quickly settled.
Fear and frightening moments usually fall out briefly: As already in cartoon, Schneewittchen stumbles to the seven dwarfs through a very threatening forest when the trees appear like monsters appear. If the princess is afraid of shining eyes in the dark, they are quickly exposed as a deer.
There is little violence. A main character is hit by an arrow, which briefly becomes dramatic, but can then be healed. Words are usually brought up weapons. Only the end of the evil queen could scratch the FSK 6 border for some minds-even if her decay is staged abstractly like a breaking mirror and leaves her as a defeated opponent. (The scene is roughly comparable to Voldemort’s death in the first Harry Potter film.)
