Disney’s live-action Snow White ditches the classic love story we all know and love in favor of a modern “woman warrior” narrative. But does it work—or is it just another Hollywood blunder? Joining me is Jonathan Pageau, a master icon carver, public speaker, and fairy tale expert who’s crafted his own stunning retelling of Snow White. We dive deep into the power of fairy tales, how they shape culture, prepare us for life’s battles, and why modern rewrites keep missing the mark. Can these timeless stories be saved? Let’s find out.
