I still remember that “The Little Mermaid” (小鱼仙/Taiwan translation: The Little Mermaid) caused backlash and negative reviews because it cast a black actor to play the heroine Ariel. Unexpectedly, Disney did not learn from the lesson and filmed the live-action version of “Snow White” At that time, he still did not follow the tradition of using a white actor, but chose the Latina Rachel Zegler.
Recently, Disney released the first stills of “Snow White” and announced that it would be delayed until 2025. Netizens interestingly said, “Why don’t we change the heroine now?”

Snow White’s skin is not white
The dwarfs have not changed the setting as rumored
In this still from “Snow White” released by Disney itself, you can see Snow White sitting in the middle of the cabin, surrounded by seven dwarfs. It is a little different from the original Snow White. This Snow White dress has long sleeves and is also a little different in design.
It was previously rumored that Disney would change the 7 dwarfs into “magical creatures” because they did not want to focus on the dwarfs for fear of discrimination; however, the stills this time are completely different from the behind-the-scenes photos that have been leaked before. Different settings were chosen to be presented using CG technology. It is unknown whether Disney finally decided to restore the original story settings or whether a new plot was added.
In addition, “Snow White” was originally expected to be released in March 2024, but it is estimated that due to the ongoing strike of the Screen Actors Guild earlier, the film will need to be postponed until 2025.
Rachel Zegler’s multiple gaffes
Netizens want to replace her
Although some people expressed expectations, more voices hoped that Disney would take the opportunity to replace the heroine Rachel Zegler.
The public doesn’t like her, not only because they feel that her dark skin is not suitable for playing “Snow White”, but also because Rachel Zegler has made many gaffes in the past. In previous promotional activities and interviews, Rachel Zegler has repeatedly criticized the concept of the original “Snow White” story as being very old-fashioned. The design of Snow White falling in love with the prince at first sight and then having to be saved by him is very old-fashioned, and she even calls the prince ” “Stalker” also said that following watching “Snow White” once when he was a child, he never watched it once more.
Rachel Zegler’s remarks aroused public dissatisfaction. They believed that she did not like the story of “Snow White” at all and did not understand the meaning behind the story. Instead, she made the original story worthless. Why should she be used to play Snow White?

There were even rumors earlier that Disney really wanted to replace Rachel Zegler, but now it seems that it is just a false rumor. Will Disney’s delayed release change the public’s perception of Rachel Zegler and their expectations for “Snow White”? Still have to wait for time to tell.
