Let's just get this done: in summary; Snow White [ Baby: Olivia Verrall/ Young: Emilia Faucher/Adult: Rachel Zegler:] she once had a good life, but in more recent times, she is trying to keep alive and take back the kingdom from the Evil Queen/another character [Gal Gadot:] she is Snow White's stepmother that will stop at nothing to ensure that she stays on the throne as the rule of this kingdom.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 109 minutes film is; well the script has obviously been changed to fit the narrative that they are trying to spin here; as you will quickly learn in this content; the framework and pacing of this film is no way shape or form the biggest problem of this title; it is pretty straightforward and it sticks to the task.

Art and action; I am going to give praise to the landscapes, the set designs and accessories; as they really did do an excellent job of bringing this world to live; so at the very least they got this right. But Snow White, the Evil Queen and I am not a fan of the animals or/and the Seven Dwarfs; as someone pointed out in their content Snow White looks a little like Lord Farquaad [from Shrek 2001] and her costume is garbage; because Zegler is 5'2 in height she doesn't look right as Snow White in the slightest, moving on to the Evil Queen; this is one of those occasions where as long as they don't do any close-ups or anything where you can have a really good look at what she is wearing and the make- up then you can get away with that kind of. But then again as soon as you do; the viewers can clearly see; this is just bad on an epic scale; from the costume from a broader perspective looking as comfortable as the wearing a black bin bag held together with sellotape; with the head/face unit somehow looking really tight, consequently squeezing Gadot's face up and for the make-up; I don't think they have got enough make-up on her face? [ Yes I am being heavily sarcastic,] maybe they should use a bigger paintbrush just to cake it on, much later on they get the transformation sequence spot on, but whomever. Even though I have somewhat praised the artistic visions I can not in good conscience say the same about the dwarfs; as they are really unappealing and off-putting: the person I watch some of this content with in a nutshell also didn't like them and whilst I'm on the subject having Snow White/Zegler sitting in the middle of these characters at the end of one musical number is just ghastly and self-indulgent garbage. The animals are/were just the equivalent of computer animated generic characters really, they serve their purpose, yes they deliberately looked cute, but I wasn't buying what they were selling; basically as you can tell there is/was a lot to vomit about. The action sequences; what action sequences? Meaning nothing majorly stood out and the only one that I can really point out is; where we have these criminals causing a distraction so that Snow White can get away: this was good entertainment; meaning for what it was and however long it lasted; it was a positive nonetheless.

Character developments, performers and voice performers; this entire segment is the overwhelming problem to this film by far, the surrounding characters by their character types are a big positive based on as they are; I am not overlooking how far they have actually changed; all I am saying is if you didn't know their back story they would be reliably good. But now let's move on to the fact that we actually know these back stories; they are garbage, 100% garbage. I find it highly irritating that we have one actor in this film with height deficiency as the voice of Grumpy: Martin Klebba: as his character's name would suggest he is a grumpy dwarf and after some research I am pretty sure, then again I could be wrong, so I will apologise regardless though character with height deficiency on-screen that you will see is not a real person with height deficiency. I would love to tell you the name of the character and yes it does get said, but I can't find it and I have spent a good half an hour trying to find it. But whatever the case may be; I stand by the fact that all of the dwarfs should be played by real individuals with height deficiency without question or resistance, the more I think about it; the more I think that this computer animation is just ugly and the voice performances are well for me they are just fine, they will do the job. But now can I say one thing without giving too much away, but has really infuriated me: so let me get this right it was perfectly acceptable for Zegler and/or Gadot to absolutely trounced the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 film for there being a Prince/Prince Charming; basically calling it weird weird on the promotional tour: in this film reference to Knight in shining armour but my point is this; it is okay for them to mock this, but at the same time it is perfectly acceptable for a man to potentially show some chivalry and protection by taking a hit for Snow White in this film, so would someone like to explain to me on one hand you have your lead partnership destroying the original consequently this film and then on the other hand clearly showing elements of things you were being quite vocal/scratch that being incredibly loud on your hatred; I would like to close out being nothing but hypocritical cherry picking, misandry women.

So let's talk about the big colossal problem; Zegler and/or Gadot; to begin with our individually or together insufferable as Zegler comes off as incredibly disingenuous; and it needs to be said whoever told Zegler she could perform a musical number on her own; needs to be slapped around the face with a wet fish; she needs to be performing with someone in a musical number to come across as competent at the very least; so when she sings with somebody this would be a good musical number. Likewise Gadot has trouble singing as well; relatively early on it does feel and look like in one of her musical numbers; she is very uncomfortable as she is either looking around for the camera or looking down the camera; either way she is hardly comfortable performing this musical number; later on as it relates to other musical numbers; yet again it does feel and look like she actually holds it together. This partnership; they seemingly have even broadly speaking very little chemistry, so more often than not just feels very formulaic and don't get me wrong there are some fleeting moments where they are in the same book on the same page. But it doesn't help when Zegler wants to play geopolitics by supporting Palestine: Free Palestine when her co-star/lead partner is an Israeli from Israel and on top of that yet again in short Zegler has made references to people that support President Donald Trump will never know peace and to basically un-follow her as she doesn't want their business. I mean I wonder if the penny has dropped for Disney yet; that just maybe this whole idea of this live-action version was and is such a bad idea to begin with.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; I mean take away the big issues of this title and somehow it finds itself in this bracket of my marking system; I can't stress this enough the positives of this title be it the surrounding characters or the other positives I have mentioned do so much of they have been lifting. I will put this in another continent, but I will give you the nutshell version here Disney and no I am not defending Disney; but in this case Disney have massive problems in the form of Zegler and/or Gadot: you see in theory this project should have been a strong reliable nostalgic cash grab, but instead it has been anything but. I mean I would quietly suggest if this film was to make back $130 million in its entire run or obviously more then I wouldn't be happy with it if I was Disney. But at the same time with the negative press surrounding this project I would take them right now as things stand box office takings is roughly $95 million from at most a bucket of $270 million. There is some good artistry in the closing credits and somehow this film has an award accredited to its name; 1 Nominee The Queerties 2025 Queerty Next Big Thing
