Disney is in a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' trap. If they remake it shot-for-shot (like Lion King), critics call it soulless. If they change it (like Little Mermaid), traditionalists revolt. The reality is that these movies are not made for 40-year-old critics; they are made to sell lunchboxes to 6-year-olds who have never seen the 1937 version. The controversy is actually free marketing. It will likely get review-bombed but still make $800 million globally.

This film represents everything wrong with modern Hollywood: the inability to create anything new and the compulsion to 'fix' things that weren't broken. They are insulted by the source material. If you hate the story of the Prince and the saving, why remake Snow White? Just make a different movie! The CGI looks like a cheap TV commercial, and the costumes look like Spirit Halloween rejects. It is a cynical cash grab that disrespects the legacy of the film that started it all.

People are reviewing a movie they haven't even seen yet based on 30-second clips. Rachel Zegler has an incredible voice, and updating the story for a modern audience is what Disney has always done. The original 1937 film is a masterpiece, but it's also 90 years old. A new version doesn't delete the old one. We should be judging the film on its script and acting, not getting angry because it doesn't look exactly like a cartoon from the Great Depression era. Give it a chance.
