Disney's Live-Action Snow White Modernizes Classic Tale

Disney's live-action remake of 'Snow White', featuring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, introduces significant narrative changes from the 1937 animated classic to appeal to modern audiences. The movie provides an extended backstory for Snow White, adding musical numbers like 'Where the Good Things Grow' to highlight her upbringing and contrast it with the Evil Queen's reign. Key changes include removing the original Prince character, replacing him with Jonathan, a rebel leader, and altering the love story dynamic. The soundtrack features both new compositions by Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Jack Feldman, as well as nostalgic songs by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey. Despite these updates, some elements, like the inclusion of 'The Silly Song', remain faithful to the original. Additionally, the film includes diverse casting choices, although initial reactions led to changes in the portrayal of the dwarfs.
