The live-action of “Snow White” was announced during the D23 an event for Disney fans in California. After the release of a teaser, some criticism was made regarding the film, which is scheduled to hit theaters on March 21, 2025.
One of the points that fans raised on social media is the fact that the Evil Queen stepmother, played by Gal Gadot, “is more beautiful” than the protagonist, Rachel Zegler . This is because the villain of the story is known for wanting to be the most beautiful in the kingdom and in the cartoon, she ends up losing the position to the princess.
Some memes were also shared on X, the old Twitter, see:

In addition to the appearance, some internet users also took advantage of the opportunity to compare the production with other films that have already portrayed the story of the princess. This is the case of “Mirror, Mirror” and “Snow White and the Huntsman”, both released in 2012.
Mirror Mirror is definitely the best live action of Snow White. The protagonist is no fool, the seven dwarfs are smart and fight to survive despite the rejection of the queen who is a bankrupt widow crazy to find a rich husband, who by fate falls in love with the protagonist. pic.twitter.com/r9hj6OoT6r

A few years ago, the choice of the actress to play the role was also criticized by some people who questioned why a Latina artist was playing a character famous for having “snow-white skin”.
In an interview with Variety’s Actors on Actors, Rachel Zegler, who is of Colombian descent, said it is necessary to “love your detractors despite your differences.”
“I never in a million years imagined that this role would be a possibility for me,” said the actress, who is of Colombian descent. “Especially Snow White: you don’t usually see Snow Whites who are of Latin descent,” she added at the time.
Rachel’s casting was announced in June 2021. At the time, the actress said that, in the same week, the topic of her casting was among the most talked about topics on Twitter, “because everyone was angry”.
However, the news also pleased some fans. “AndI’m completely obsessed from the visuals and aesthetics of Snow White, it will be beautiful to see this on the big screen,” wrote one internet user.
“The aesthetics of millions of ‘Snow White! Straight from the cartoon! Disney I never doubted,” wrote another X user.
