Disney’s Snow White Faces Brutal Reviews – A Box Office Disaster in the Making?

The reviews are in, and it’s NOT looking good for Disney’s Snow White. The highly anticipated live-action remake has officially hit theaters, but instead of enchanting audiences, it’s dividing the internet and crashing hard with critics.

For months, Snow White has been at the center of controversy—fans questioned casting choices, script changes, and Disney’s modernized approach to the classic fairy tale. Now that the film has finally premiered, the numbers speak for themselves—and they’re ugly.


🔥 Snow White’s Review Scores Are Brutal

Disney is used to critical acclaim, but Snow White is getting some of the worst reviews in the studio’s history. Here’s what major review sites are saying:

🔴 Rotten Tomatoes: 48% (Critics Score)
⭐ Empire: 2/5
📉 IMDb: 2.4/10 (One of Disney’s worst-rated films ever!)
😬 Google Audience Score: 1.4/5
❌ The Guardian: 1/5
🎮 IGN: 7/10 (Surprisingly generous)
📰 The Independent: 1/5
💬 DiscussingFilm: 2/5
🎥 Collider: 6/10
📝 Screen Rant: 5/10
📊 Metro: 4/5 (A rare positive review)
🆕 Upcoming Movies (Our Review): 1.5/5

💀 Translation? This is NOT the fairytale ending Disney was hoping for.


👀 What Went Wrong? Fans & Critics Are Tearing It Apart

So, why is Snow White receiving such an overwhelmingly negative response? Let’s break it down:

1️⃣ The Casting Controversy – Rachel Zegler vs. The Fans

From the moment Rachel Zegler was cast as Snow White, the internet had a LOT to say.

👩🏻 Critics argue:

Zegler’s casting didn’t fit the traditional Snow White image.

Her comments about the original 1937 movie came off as dismissive, leading to fan backlash.

Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen was a major selling point—but many say her performance wasn’t enough to save the film.

🎤 Zegler’s most controversial quote:
“She’s not going to be saved by the prince. She’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming a leader.”

For fans of the original Snow White, this felt like an unnecessary departure from the classic fairy tale.


2️⃣ The ‘7 Dwarfs’ Issue – A Strange Creative Choice?

The original seven dwarfs—beloved characters like Doc, Dopey, and Grumpy—are completely reimagined in this version.

🔹 Instead of traditional dwarfs, the movie features a diverse group of “magical creatures.”
🔹 Fans immediately slammed this decision, arguing it takes away one of the most iconic aspects of the story.

Even actor Peter Dinklage, known for his role in Game of Thrones, criticized the original concept for the dwarfs, calling it “backward.” However, many viewers believe Disney overcorrected and lost the charm of the original.


3️⃣ The Script and Dialogue – Critics Call It “Soulless”

Many reviews point out that the movie lacks heart and magic—two things that made the original Snow White a classic.

❌ What critics are saying:

Empire called it “soulless and forgettable.”

The Guardian said “it tries too hard to be modern and loses the fairytale charm.”

Collider mentioned that it “feels more like a lecture than a movie.”

💬 One viral audience review:
“This movie has no soul. It feels like a generic fantasy film that just happens to be called Snow White.”


4️⃣ Box Office Nightmares – A Financial Disaster?

The movie cost between $240M-$270M to produce, meaning it needs at least $500M+ to break even. But with such negative reviews and fan backlash, will it even get close?

📉 Disney’s Live-Action Box Office Comparison:

The Lion King (2019) – $1.6 BILLION

Beauty and the Beast (2017) – $1.2 BILLION

The Little Mermaid (2023) – $569M

Mulan (2020) – $70M (COVID-era, Disney+ release)

💰 Predictions for Snow White:
🎭 Industry experts believe it could be one of Disney’s biggest flops in recent history.


🚨 Is Disney’s Live-Action Formula Falling Apart?

This isn’t the first time a Disney remake has faced backlash, but Snow White feels different.

💀 Other recent live-action struggles:
❌ The Little Mermaid (2023) – Criticized for changes, underperformed in key markets.
❌ Mulan (2020) – Removed Mushu, lacked humor, performed terribly in China.
❌ Pinocchio (2022) – Straight-to-Disney+ with overwhelmingly bad reviews.

📉 Is Disney losing its magic?

Audiences are growing tired of the live-action remakes, and Snow White might be the final straw. Many fans are begging Disney to focus on NEW original stories rather than recycling classics with “modern” twists.


🔥 Final Verdict – Is Snow White DOOMED?

Unless something drastic happens, Disney is looking at one of its biggest critical and financial failures in recent years.

🧐 Should you watch it?

If you love classic Disney magic → You might be disappointed.

If you enjoy controversial takes on fairytales → You might find it interesting.

If you want nostalgia done right → You might be better off watching the original 1937 classic.


💬 What Do YOU Think?
