US EditionMovie review: 'Snow White' remake borrows a little too much
- Directed by Marc Webb, the live-action remake of Disney's "Snow White" stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.
- The movie's plot follows the familiar storyline of Snow White being born during a "Frozen"-like storm, her mother's death, her father's remarriage and disappearance, leaving her in the clutches of the Evil Queen who becomes jealous of Snow White's beauty.
- The Evil Queen, upset that Snow is the "fairest in the land," consults her magic mirror and orders a huntsman to kill Snow White, but he spares her, leading her to the home of seven miners where she takes a nap while they are away.
- Songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul move the story along, but the film borrows elements from other Disney movies like "Beauty and the Beast" and "Tangled," and the character of Dopey is drawn like Alfred E. Neuman from Mad magazine, developing a particularly immediate bond with Snow White.
- While Snow White isn’t the woke screed you’ve heard it is, the film culminates in Snow White squaring off with the Evil Queen and getting an all-white wedding, but some critics suggest Disney should leave well enough alone, noting the sets, costumes, and songs were so-so.
