Hollywood has tried several times to rediscover the Grimm fairy tale Snow White. The highlight was probably reached in 2012, exactly 200 years after the fairy tale was released, when Snow White and the Huntsman and Spieglein Spieglein came to the cinema two competing Snowewittchen films. However, the still most popular adaptation of the fabric comes from Disney.
With the animated film Snow White and the seven dwarfs, one of the fairy tale films par excellence in 1937. Now the remake of the Disney classic in the cinema awaits us-this time in the live action robe. It is the first big fantasy blockbuster of the year. The remake, which has been under development for almost a decade, is said to have devoured between $ 240 and $ 270 million.
New fantasy blockbuster from Disney: Snow White with Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot in the cinema
Building on Alice’s billion-dollar success in Wonderland, Disney initiated a number of elaborate new films of his animated films. Of course, Snow White should not be missing. Nevertheless, it took astonishingly long for the film to take shape. In March 2020, the first flap was directed by Marc Webb, which previously shot the Amazing Spider-Man films.
Here you can look at the trailer for Snow White:

The basic features of the new Schneewittchen film are based on the familiar Disney version of 1937: Schneewittchen (Rachel Zegler) loses her mother at a young age and then grows up in the care of her royal father and his new wife. The stepmother (Gal Gadot) looks at the young, innocent princess because of her beauty with envy and resentment.
The barrel for overcrowding once again brings the magic mirror, which definitely affects the wrong choice of words when he assures the evil queen that Snow White will once be the most beautiful across the country. In the delusion of her jealousy, she then sends a hunter to kill her stepdaughter. But Snow White finds refuge with seven dwarfs that live hidden in a small house in the forest.
Modernized fairy tale: Snowewittchen remake changes several details from the original
So far, so well known. Disney has also taken some creative freedom in the remake. Snowewittchen’s name, for example, is no longer defined by their appearance, but by their resistance in a blizzard. The role of the prince and that of the seven dwarfs, which has often been criticized in the past, was also revised to make the fairy tale more contemporary.
Starting from the trailer, there is still a lot of Disney DNA in the update, from the iconic pictures to music numbers that run through the film. Last but not least, Zegler was not only occupied by a fantastic actress, but also an outstanding singer in the leading role, who made the breakthrough four years ago in Steven Spielberg’s new film adaptation West Side Story.
Snow White starts on March 20, 2025 in the German cinemas.
