Rachel Zegler has heard the PC SnowWhite jokes, but she isn't laughing 👀 'People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is—because it needed that. It’s an 85-year-old cartoon...'
Rachel Zegler defends her new Snow White movie after outlets joke about it being PC. Walt Disney Pictures has made itself out as the kings of bringing princesses to life on screen, and with that comes the responsibility of portraying them in a positive light. The Disney Princess line was started in 2000 and aimed to give little girls a line-up of role models to look up to. Since then, the franchise has been viewed as being very divisive among consumers.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The Disney Princesses have had a major resurgence, especially from Disney's current trend of readapting their animated classics as live-action feature films. With this came a new goal to be more open-minded. Upcoming films such as The Little Mermaid aim to depict a more inclusive cast, while the new Snow White film hopes to retell the story for a modern audience.
People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is—because it needed that. It’s an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond ‘Someday My Prince Will Come.’ Why The Live-Action Snow White's Changes Are Good Zegler makes a good point about Snow White's new direction; while the original film will forever be a classic, it is still a product of its time. When people speak positively of the film, the Dwarfs or the Evil Queen are considered standout characters, while Snow White herself is hardly remembered beyond her function in the plot, over which she has little agency.
Additionally, Zegler's casting as Snow White is reportedly not the only change being made to this live-action adaptation. Following very public criticism from Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage regarding the original's representation of Dwarfs, Disney released a statement claiming to have taken a very different approach to the seven characters who, pointedly, no longer join Snow White in the film's title.
