'Snow White' all set to stream from this date

Disney's live-action Snow White streaming debut featuring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, reimagining the classic fairy tale with fresh musical elements

"Lighter, more frolicsome, less lead-footed than other Disney live-action remakes - Owen Gleiberman, Film Critic"

Washington DC, June 4

Fans can soon enjoy a live-action remake of 'Snow White' on Disney+.

It will stream from June 11.

Starring "West Side Story" breakout Rachel Zegler in the lead role, "Snow White" is the latest Disney property to be remade in the 21st century. Based on the 1937 animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," this new take on the story once again follows the princess as she runs away from her evil stepmother, played by Gal Gadot, and befriends a group of seven dwarfs in a forest, according to Variety.

The film was helmed by director Marc Webb and written by "The Girl on the Train" scribe Erin Cressida Wilson. Like some of the other recent Disney live-action remakes, the film underwhelmed at the box office, opening below expectations with USD 43 million at the domestic box office.

Although the film's reviews haven't been glowing and controversies have dominated the headlines, film critic Owen Gleiberman wrote that the film is "lighter, more frolicsome, less lead-footed than such clomping live-action Disney remakes as 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'Dumbo' or 'Mulan'," as per the outlet.

The film features 11 songs, including new ones by "La La Land" composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul like "Good Things Grow" and "A Hand Meets A Hand." Fans of the original still have old tunes to enjoy, including "Whistle While You Work" and "Heigh-Ho," reported Variety.

Excited to see this with my daughter! 😊 Hope they've kept the magic of the original while making it relevant for today's kids. The new songs by 'La La Land' composers sound promising!

Another Disney remake? When will they make original stories? The box office numbers show people are getting tired of these. Better to watch regional Indian films with fresh concepts.

Gal Gadot as the evil queen is perfect casting! Though I'm skeptical about the changes they've made to the original story. Will watch for nostalgia's sake but keeping expectations low.

The original Snow White was my childhood favorite. Hope they haven't ruined it with unnecessary 'modernization'. The dwarfs controversy was unnecessary - should have just kept the original characters.

As a teacher, I'm curious to see how this version compares to the original. Might show both versions to my students and have them analyze the differences. Could be an interesting cultural study!

The mixed reviews make me want to watch it more! Sometimes critics get it wrong. Will wait for Disney+ release though - not worth theater prices for a remake.
