On March 20, 2025, the next real adaptation of a Disney classic will be released. After King of the Lion and the Beautiful and the Beast follows one of the most important Disney films: Snow White. But the film adaptation of the film is not received positively by everyone. Not even from the son of the original director.
Why is the original Snow White such an important film? Disney made smaller animation films before, the best known example is probably Steamboat Willie from 1928. The first real feature film was snoweval from 1937.
He is now receiving a real film that will be released on March 20, 2025. However, many are not pleased with the new edition. Not even the son of the Surpervision Director of the original, David Hand. He criticizes the real films and believes that neither his father nor Walt Disney would be satisfied with it.

No respect for what Disney did
What does the son of David Hand say? David Hale Hand spoke in the course of the real film with Telegraph.co.uk and had no good words for the upcoming remake. He believes that his father and Walt Disney have not thought of such a remake.
There is no respect for what Disney did and what my father did … I think Walt and he would turn around in the grave.
In addition, he says that the stories of these remakes are changed too much. It is no longer the originals. To be honest, I find it a bit offensive what you did with some of these film classics.
The 91-year-old calls the film Woke and says that he doesn’t like such things. Later in the interview, he also mentions Adriana Caselotti, who borrowed Snow White in the original. He believes that she was frightened by the remake.
How valid is his criticism? Of course, the live action remakes of well-known classics from Disney are worthy of criticism. The charming look is often changed against a generic design. The criticism that you would change everything does not fit so well.
As JeuxVideo describes, the film from 1937 does not adhere to the history of the original of the Brothers Grimm. Many Disney films are more child-friendly and shallow than the classic fairy tales. Remakes can also make modern, good versions from classics.
If you want to convince yourself of the quality of the film, you can do so from March 20, 2025. From Thursday you can look at the remake of Snow White in German cinemas. Also Walt Disney was not the popular filmmaker: “repulsive” – Tolkien hated Disney so much that he never wanted them to get the rights to Lord of the Rings
