Overview

- Zegler's interpretation of Snow White as a character not searching for true love, but instead being a brave leader, along with the decision to replace the dwarfs with 'magical creatures' has resulted in the film being tagged as 'woke' by many potential viewers.
- The Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike and mixed audience reception are also notable contributors to the film's delay.
- The 'Snow White' remake's delay has affected other Disney productions like Pixar's 'Elio', revealing the detrimental effect one project's controversy can have on the broader schedule.
