Snow White Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
If you’ve had your head buried under a pile of poisoned apples this week, let me catch you up on the absolute soap opera that is the ongoing spectacle of Snow White—a character who may be fictional, but whose headlines are painfully, gloriously real. So, what do you get when you mix a fairy-tale princess, modern Hollywood, a global streaming war, and about fifty million opinions from the internet? Apparently, 2025’s most divisive live-action reboot, that’s what.
The top news, of course: Disney’s live-action Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler, has officially detonated at the box office and in the thinkpiece economy. The movie finally hit theaters after enough delays to make even Sleeping Beauty tap her watch impatiently. First reactions? Absurdly divided. Variety trumpeted it as a “visual feast,” with critics lavishing praise on Zegler for bringing actual depth to the famously one-dimensional original. I mean, considering the OG’s list of pastimes was basically “sing to birds, get tricked by old lady, nap,” that’s at least a step up. TikTok agrees—if “agreeing” means posting hundreds of remixes of Zegler singing while intercut with dwarfs flossing—and yes, I’m as horrified as you are that this is the world we’ve created.
But oh, this sweet, shiny apple comes with a worm. Reviews are split like the fairest mirror in the land. Snow White bombed commercially, prompting Gal Gadot to go on Israeli TV and essentially say that global politics tanked the film, not her Evil Queen performance—although let’s be real, the online debate over that wig remains fierce. Meanwhile, various blogs and even Disney-themed news sites say Snow White is basically the “Caddyshack 2” of princess movies, which is a level of insult I haven’t heard since my high school yearbook called me “Most Likely to Peak at Podcasting.”
The only thing getting more updates than this film’s controversy is its Wikipedia edit log. Rachel Zegler keeps firing back at critics online, clarifying everything from alleged “woke rewrites” to why Snow White’s name was changed in the remake. Apparently, it’s not about skin color this time, but about her “resilience” surviving a snowstorm as a baby. Is it retconning or just creative license? You be the judge.
Oh, and social media is an absolute circus: from #NotMySnowWhite trending to fan edits mashing up Zegler’s Snow White with the Evil Queen’s most meme-worthy moments—let’s just say the poisoned apple is getting more play than Snow White herself these days. By the way, if you thought the story of the dwarfs was left unchanged, think again. This time, seven CGI immortal mythical beings… which, sure. Make it weird, Disney.
All that drama, and yet, if you check Disney+, Snow White is suddenly in the “most watched” charts, because apparently nothing makes us want to stream a movie we didn’t pay to see in theaters like a week’s worth of hot takes. Nostalgia? Schadenfreude? Maybe all of the above.
