Disney (2025)
Princesses, animation lovers, and children of all ages are excited about Disney’s Snow White! It offers a modernized take on the classic tale, featuring a more empowered Snow White who discovers her own voice and purpose. Additionally, the film includes contemporary themes and diverse casting, resonating with a new generation of viewers with evolving societal values.
For the lover of animation, Snow White is praised as a “visual feast” with new musical numbers and a deeper character development for Snow White, moving beyond traditional themes. Additionally, it represents a modern re-imagining of a classic story, appealing to those interested in how animation can evolve in contemporary storytelling.
The biggest surprise of 2025 is that the most controversial and most hated film of the year is actually a decent live-action remake. Snow White is not only one of their best live-action remakes in years, but it’s also a film that recaptures the magic of the 1937 movie. Rachel Zegler is Snow White, and she delivers such a magical performance that is unforgettable and enchanting, and provides depth to this world that I didn’t know was needed.

It’s a visual feast with show-stopping new musical numbers and, of course, dozens of enchanting animated animals. The screenplay wisely gives its heroine newfound depth through her fervent desire to become the leader her father believed she could be, and a love story that’s sweet as apple pie.
