Disney's Snow White was criticized for her beauty and was not saved by the prince?

Despite being highly appreciated for her sweet voice, the role of Snow White played by Rachel Zegler still received mixed opinions about her appearance. Many viewers said that her appearance did not match the classic Snow White image.

On August 10, Disney surprised everyone by releasing the trailer for the live-action version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The first footage received a lot of attention from the audience.

Accordingly, Rachel Zegler takes on the role of Princess Snow White and Gal Gadot transforms into the Evil Queen.

Recently, the two main actors appeared together to interact with the audience.

"This is the greatest honor of my life," said Rachel Zegler, the lead actress at the event. "I think it's the most amazing experience for any young girl to wear a Disney princess dress for a day, let alone six months. I'm so excited to share this project with you."

Meanwhile, Gal Gadot said of her villain role: "It was a fun experience to do something completely different from what I've done before. This character is evil, good at magic. We got to sing a lot of different songs. It was really a great experience."

In the trailer, which is more than 1 minute long, Rachel Zegler appears as Snow White with her signature bob haircut, surrounded by a group of 7 dwarfs. At the same time, she revealed that in this version, the famous Disney princess will not be saved by a prince. "She will not dream of true love. She dreams of becoming a leader, the version that her late father told her that she could become if she knew how to be fearless, brave and loyal. So this is really a great story for young people everywhere to see themselves in."

Immediately after the trailer was released, it attracted the attention of many fans of the seventh art. Many people feared that this film would destroy the original fairy tale that many people loved. In particular, Rachel Zegler's Snow White's appearance was completely different from the description in the story, which caused many viewers to object.

Rachel Zegler's skin is not snow white but has a warmer color, and her hair is not jet black but dark brown, creating a difference from the traditional Snow White image.

Her lips lack the characteristic bright red, and Rachel Zegler's demeanor is also considered to lack the innocence, purity, and gentleness that one would expect from the character.

Some viewers have compared Rachel Zegler's appearance to previous versions of Snow White, especially to the film version Mirror Mirror (2012) starring Lily Collins.

Of all the original film adaptations, none have made as big a difference as Disney's live-action Snow White.

The change in the way the character is portrayed, from appearance to style, is creating a wave of controversy on social networks.

This is not the first time audiences have argued over the deviation from the original. Previously, during the casting phase, when Rachel Zegler was announced to play Snow White, audiences reacted strongly, expressing dissatisfaction and even threatening to boycott the film.

In the face of public criticism, Disney has chosen to remain silent, giving no response to its casting decision.

Some audience comments about the Snow White trailer:

- In my opinion, all the criticisms of this movie are completely reasonable and justified.

- Honestly, the magic mirror has a problem not recognizing Gal Gadot as the most beautiful actress in this cast. There is no reason for the Queen to be jealous of Snow White.

- Gal Gadot looks amazing as the Queen.

- I find the image of the dwarfs really funny. They could have cast real dwarf actors instead of casting normal people and using CGI.

- The picture looks disappointing, the quality is like a web movie.
