Disney’s Snow White (2025) is a live-action reimagining of the timeless fairy tale, bringing a fresh take to the beloved story of the original 1937 animated classic. Directed by Marc Webb, this retelling delves deeper into the characters’ emotions, relationships, and the themes of self-discovery, courage, and the power of kindness.
The story follows Snow White, a kind-hearted and optimistic young princess, portrayed by Rachel Zegler, whose beauty and inner strength stand out in a kingdom ruled by her vain and cruel stepmother, the Evil Queen, played by Gal Gadot. Obsessed with being “the fairest of them all,” the Queen becomes consumed by jealousy when her enchanted mirror declares Snow White the most beautiful in the land. Threatened by Snow White’s growing beauty and goodness, the Queen orders her Huntsman to take Snow White into the forest and kill her.
However, the Huntsman, unable to harm the innocent princess, spares her life and urges her to flee deep into the forest. Lost and frightened, Snow White stumbles upon a cottage inhabited by seven quirky dwarfs, each with their own distinct personalities. As she bonds with the dwarfs, Snow White begins to grow in confidence, learning from their wisdom and bravery. Together, they form a tight-knit family, finding joy and solace in each other’s company.
But Snow White’s journey to reclaim her rightful place as princess is fraught with danger. The Evil Queen, discovering that Snow White is still alive, disguises herself and tricks Snow White into eating the infamous poisoned apple. As Snow White falls into a deep, enchanted sleep, it seems all hope is lost.
The film introduces themes of empowerment and inner strength, as Snow White’s ability to inspire love and unity becomes her greatest weapon against the Queen’s evil. With the help of her newfound family and her prince, Snow White learns that true beauty lies in kindness, courage, and the connections we form with others.
Featuring breathtaking visuals, iconic songs reimagined for modern audiences, and new musical numbers by songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Disney’s Snow White (2025) promises to be a magical, heartwarming experience for a new generation.
