From Fairy Tale Charm to Woke Misstep: Disney’s Snow White Remake Falters


Disney’s live-action Snow White, released this weekend, has limped into theaters with projections of one of the studio’s weakest opening weekends in recent years. Early estimates suggest a $45 million to $55 million debut—a far cry from the $90 million-plus openings of prior remakes like Aladdin. Others believe that this stumble reflects a deeper crisis: Disney has lost its way, abandoning the timeless storytelling that once defined it for a “woke” wilderness that leaves audiences cold and confused.

Disney recently made headlines when the company introduced it’s first ever Christian character in its animated TV series, “Win or Lose,” prompting critics to think the company was coming back to its family friendly roots.

Changing Plot


In Disney’s 2025 Snow White, Rachel Zegler assumes the role of Snow White, a spirited young woman who flees her wicked stepmother, the Evil Queen (Gal Gadot), after refusing to conform to royal expectations. Instead of awaiting a prince’s rescue, she seeks to reclaim her father’s kingdom, finding refuge with seven CGI (Computer Generated Imagery)-rendered “magical creatures” (replacing the traditional dwarfs) who aid her quest. The prince, a minor figure played by Andrew Burnap, offers fleeting support but no romance, abandoning the redemptive story arc seen by many as a symbol of new birth and renewal. Snow White’s journey emphasizes self-reliance over love and redemption. The plot culminates in a confrontation where Snow White outwits the Queen, using cunning and leadership to restore order, set to new songs like “Waiting on a Wish” that underscore her “empowerment.”

One of the biggest critics of the new movie release is Pastor Greg Laurie who believes Disney has lost its way. Laurie writes, “Once upon a time, this was a beloved fairy tale about kindness, virtue, and beauty. Now? Well, it seems Snow White has gone on a journey—not through the forest—but straight into the wilderness of wokeness. Has Disney completely lost the plot?” The remake’s pivot to a modernized Snow White, played by Zegler, dreams of leadership and power rather than love—a change critics see as a betrayal of the original’s redemptive arc.

‘Woke Overhaul’


The film’s “woke” overhaul is stark. Zegler’s Snow White ditches “Someday My Prince Will Come” for “Waiting on a Wish,” recasting her as an empowered figure unbound by romance. The prince, once a symbol of salvation, is sidelined, while the seven dwarfs—reimagined as “magical creatures” lose their distinct charm.

For fans of the original 1937 version, be prepared to be disappointed.. The once allegory to the Christian faith – the prince comes to awakend his sleeping bride to live happily ever after is no more. Now it’s about empowerment and the quest for power. Critics like Laurie see this as emblematic of Disney’s broader misstep: a company once synonymous with “magic, wonder, and timeless storytelling” now alienating its core audience to “curry favor with the cultural left.”

$300MM Production


The box office numbers seem to bear this out. A $300 million production netting a fraction of past remake suggests a disconnect. This remake may be added to a growing list of Disney’s recent flops—Mufasa: The Lion King underperformed too.

With a 48% Rotten Tomatoes score and a muted premiere, Disney’s gamble looks shaky. Can Disney find its way back?—hangs over a film that, for all its ambition, may prove a point: in chasing trends, Disney risks losing the enchantment that made Snow White a classic. This “woke” retelling seems less a fairy tale and more a cautionary one.
