Disney’s “SNOW WHITE” ~ To Be Released March 2025

“SNOW WHITE” is a 2025 Disney film that will be released in theaters on March 21, 2025, and will be available on the Disney+ streaming platform shortly after its theatrical release.

♦

The Brothers Grimm are two German brothers renowned for their contributions to folklore and fairy tales. They published the German fairy tale “Snow White” in 1812.

In 1937, Disney delighted the American audience by adapting this fairy tale into its first full-length animated feature film paving the way for future Disney animated classics.

It’s 2025 and Disney is set to release its live-action remake of “Snow White” on March 21st. The remake will be a musical like the animated film but will have all-new original songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (REF: Snow White (2025) | Disney Movies)

• No doubt everyone will line up to watch this movie because it stars Gal Gadot of “Wonder Woman” fame. She went from being a superhero to a supervillainess Evil Queen. Either way, this actress has a commanding screen presence and when you see her you think: ‘If Snow White wasn’t supposed to be the heroine in this story, that Evil Queen would have kicked her butt!!’

• By contrast, Rachel Zegler who plays Snow White expressed her disappointment about the results of the 2024 US presidential election and was forced to apologize for exercising her right to free speech. Her comment appeared on Instagram, but screenshots ere made and circulated via X (formerly Twitter), a platform where the owner Elon Musk preaches about the importance of protecting free speech. Oh! The irony! (Psstt. It’s OK Ms. Zegler because I shared more than enough disappointment via my posts on X for the both of us!)

BEFORE playing the titular role in “Snow White”, Rachel Zegler appeared in “West Side Story” (2021) ~ she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress; and “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” (2023).

The writers took the liberty of changing up the storyline (a little bit) to present a strong female lead who decides to take back what was stolen from her, i.e. her father’s kingdom which was her happy home. Marrying a prince and living happily ever after in his kingdom, is nice but … getting your kingdom back is way better!

Finally, being true to the spirit of the late Walt Disney (i.e. his earnest desire to captivate the audience by making use of the latest technology available to create memorable visuals), the movie features the CGI reimagining of the seven dwarfs and includes state-of-the-art visual effects to bring the enchanted forest and various other magical elements to life.

• NOTE: Even though CGI was used because there was controversy about being insensitive to “dwarves” ~ which I think was just a bunch of hooey ~ I think Mr. Disney would have been OK with using special effects. This legendary icon in the entertainment business was an awesome “imagineer”. (THE ORIGIN OF “IMAGINEERING”, Disney History 101)
