6) Modernizing the story is a double-edged sword
Disney’s decision to reimagine Snow White as a story about empowerment and leadership rather than romance has been polarizing. Rachel Zegler described the new Snow White as a “fearless leader” rather than someone “dreaming of true love,” which resonated with some but angered others. Critics argue that the updates feel forced and stray too far from the original’s charm. Many see the changes as unnecessary pandering to modern audiences, diluting the timeless elements that made the story a classic. This divide has left Disney in a tough spot, struggling to balance progressiveness with staying true to its roots.
