Actress Rachel Zegler, who plays the titular role, has claimed that this version of Snow White diverges significantly from the original, emphasizing themes of female empowerment over the traditional love story. However, many viewers are expressing their discontent, arguing that the film strays too far from the charm and essence of the original. Critics have pointed out the absence of iconic elements such as memorable songs and the personality of beloved characters, particularly the dwarfs, who have been subjected to CGI transformations that some have described as unsettling.
