As of right now, Snow White has a lower IMDB score than such delights as Dragonball Evolution, Gigli, Cats, The Human Centipede 3, Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey, The Emoji Movie, and Jack and Jill.
I wonder if this can make it to worst rated Disney movie of all time.
I feel for anyone still alive from the making of the original animated movie, having to see it be frankensteined into this mess must be awful to witness.

The haircut would've been fine if they didn't do a shit job of it. That strangling hairs and imbalance makes it look messy, they could've experimented with making it more glossy or matte. You can get many cosplay examples of making it look good but it looks like they got a budget hairdresser that only glanced at the references and don't think about how to pull it off properly.

Obviously they hired the visually-impaired stylist.

That is genuinely shocking, as a bad movie fan I consider Jack and Jill to be an extremely high contender for the worst movie of all time.

The Possum Reviews video is going to be lit.
 
What annoys me is I think a live action remake could have worked. Obviously get some real people with dwarfism for the cast but beyond that it needed better vocal direction. I've been listening to the original soundtrack and it's really not that hard to cast someone with operatic training to do the vocals. People try to claim the recording equipment of the time is why Snow White sounds like that but no, she's meant to sound like a lyric soprano.
When it comes to Zegler I don't care that she got casted. Just wish she had gotten less shit direction. I agree with reviews that say she sings like an extra in Moana lol
 
Did Disney do this shit live-action remake of Snow White because the original is going to be public domain in 2032? I was thinking about this earlier today and realized that over the next twenty years a lot of the money making Disney characters and princesses will be entering public domain and they won't be able to control them anymore.

not surprising. the Snow White remake was the perfect storm of unlikeable bitchy lead, shitty CGI, and making the story worse. the REAL consoomer litmus test will be whether or not the L&S remake bombs.

This live action remake of Snow White feels so wrong in so many levels that it stars to feel wrong on a metaphysical sense.

The original 1937 film is regarded as the one that changed the perception of people regarding animation as a legitimate story telling medium, it was the product of immense talent, imagination and technical innovation and effectively saved Disney from its financial woes.

The 2025 remake is universally hated for being created by cynical, pretentious and unimaginative twats who see themselves above the source material, even the lead actress is an arrogant cunt that did everything in her power to sabotage the project every time she opened her mouth on social media. This movie will also result in increasing Disney's financial woes.

There is no one at that accursed company that stopped for a moment an said: "This is not what Walt would have wanted." and it shows.

Not like it really matters, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc, were stories in the public domain when Disney used them as templates for their movies, Anyone can create their own interpretations of those characters. Sure there is "Disney's Snow White" or "Disney's Cinderella" as specific interpretations but these are so old that I don't think anyone is going to care to do anything worthwhile with them.

When Steamboat Willie made it into the public domain people made memes, some shitty horror movies and games and then the hype died down after a week and everyone moved on, There are very few old IPs from the beginning of the 20th Century that still hold some value but their appeal is limited. Superman will be in the public domain in 2034, but it is the original version where Kryptonite, Lex Luthor or even the iconic "S" we all know weren't a part of the character so there is very limited appeal having access to such a primitive. early version of the character.

Zorro has been part of the public domain since 1995 and nobody cares about making content about Zorro because it is such an outdated concept. The last movie using the character was made 20 years ago and that was the end of it.

Disney's main worry isn't that their old material is making it into the public domain, it is that they are unable to create new material to excite the public.
 
One of the problems with selling Zorro (and I think Conan, Tarzan, Fu Manchu, Flash Gordon, basically this whole era of characters) is that the original copyright holders have somehow kept trademark on their names. For a long time these people would be (and still are) litigious if you try to sell anything labelled as such.

Now for example there's still lots of official Conan merch but there's also some unofficial comics, "The Cimmerian," that adapt the early novels but can't put Conan's name on it. Same with Steamboat Willie starring Mickey. You can't call your new movie "Mickey Mouse and the Curse of Steamboat Willie" because MM is still a trademark. Sherlock Holmes seems to have escaped this by virtue of sheer popularity but that doesn't mean he's full pd--the Doyle estate still asserts ownership of the final Holmes stories published in the late 1920s. Just a few years ago they sued Netflix because Sherlock Holmes smiled on some show and Doyle estate said this was a unique trait only used in the later stories. Netflix gave them a smackdown. Another extortionist out there is the whiny bitch who claims to own Anne of Green Gables, but that's Canadian law.
 
The original Snow White, whatever you may think about its quality, is indisputably one of of the most important movies ever made, to make a remake of it is borderline impossible as a result and if it were to be done, respect for the original would be of utmost importance. At zero point during this abomination's creation was that present, be it Zegler's mouthing off, casting one of the least talented actresses in Hollywood at the moment, using CGI dwarves to appease a midget who got too big for his britches after being in Game of Thrones, or ripping up pieces of the story and inserting new material to extend the runtime, to name a few things. The cattle will be willing to lap up plenty of shit, but even they recognize that this is all a step too far. They might be back for Lilo and Stitch, but Disney will lose out big on this pile of garbage.

This is a key factor. It also explains why remakes often introduce changes. Studios aim to reuse copyrighted elements from their specific version of Snow White while blending in fresh material that can be newly copyrighted. As a result, when someone seeks to use the original Snow White material—whose copyright expires in 2032—they must carefully avoid incorporating anything exclusive to the updated version.

This strategy in remakes also ties into maintaining active trademarks, which can lapse if left unused but remain perpetual as long as they’re actively employed. By reworking and re-releasing properties like Snow White, studios keep their specific branding—logos, character designs, or unique story elements—alive in the marketplace. This continuous use ensures their trademarks don’t expire, securing their legal claim indefinitely while distinguishing their version from the public domain material.
 
people are talking about how the hair looks like shit, but honestly i blame the actress, her face is too fugly for snow white to ever look good. You know who can pull off snow white and short hair though?

Also worth noting is Filmation's Happily Ever After having a leg up over Disney for once on account of it being an unofficial sequel to the OG movie, at least before the company went belly-up delaying the premiere.

Pic, naturally, unrelated.

What everyone should take away from this debacle is that Disney will have learned nothing from it. In five years we'll be back here, maybe in this very thread, or a new one, specifically made to discuss the newest act of gravedigging and cultural vandalism, laughing at Iger's newest $300 flop.

Do you know, I'm actually kind of amazed that it has taken me until now to hear this particular take, whereas when Fox made that awful Fant4stic Four movie, a couple of years ago, you couldn't move for people talking about how it was a shallow, soulless production, cynically created to cling onto the licensing rights, in literally every discussion of the film.

And do you know what? I think you're probably bang on the money.

Nobody involved in this production really gave a shit about 'honouring the original's legacy', or 'correcting the regressive attitudes of the original film', or 'girlboss feminism', or even 'culturally erasing white people from their own stories', or any of the other bullshit that was thrown at this production. I mean, maaaybe they did, but that wasn't the object of the exercise.

I think that this was, from day one, about consolidating the Disney copyright.
