From the very beginning, the live-action version of the beloved Snow White animation was surrounded by controversies.
Some pointed out that the original tale presents outdated concepts like the damsel in distress trope. Others, like Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, called the tale a “backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together”. Eventually, the seven magical creatures were computer-generated, but it didn’t calm the critics. Many viewers considered the CGI characters as fake and grotesque, while some members of the dwarfism and little people community perceived it as taking away their acting jobs.
Adding fuel to the fire were prejudiced comments on social media surrounding the casting of Colombian descent actress Rachel Zegler as the lead role.
Despite all of that, is Snow White worth a watch? It’s best to find out at the cinema, but if you’re already curious about when the movie will be available to watch in the comfort of your own home, keep on reading.
