Overview

• Rachel Zegler's casting as Snow White has drawn criticism from some fans, particularly regarding her Latina heritage and her comments about the original 1937 film.
• Disney has scaled back the Hollywood premiere and canceled the London event, opting for smaller, controlled press appearances due to backlash and political sensitivities involving its stars.
• The film has faced criticism for its portrayal of the Seven Dwarfs, leading Disney to consult with the dwarfism community and reimagine the characters to avoid stereotypes.
• Box office projections estimate an opening weekend of $48-$58 million, which would outperform recent Disney live-action remakes like 'Cruella' and 'Dumbo,' but still fall short of its high production costs.
• Costume designer Sandy Powell has drawn inspiration from the original animated film and 1930s Hollywood, blending classic elements with a modernized aesthetic for the characters' attire.
