Disney's 'Snow White' Faces Backlash and Support Ahead of Release

Rachel Zegler's portrayal of Snow White has ignited debates over diversity, tradition, and modern storytelling as the film approaches its March 21 release.

Rachel Zegler, cast as the first Latina Snow White, has faced criticism tied to her comments on the 1937 original film, her political views, and her heritage.
Disney scaled back the Hollywood premiere, limiting media presence, in response to ongoing controversies surrounding the film and its cast.
Zegler has received support from notable figures like Ariana Grande and Jameela Jamil, emphasizing the importance of solidarity among women in Hollywood.
The actress described the technical challenges of filming with CGI characters as the most demanding project of her career, requiring multiple versions of every scene.
Despite the backlash, early viewers have praised the film for its updated approach and Zegler's performance, with its theatrical release set for March 21.
