You want a Snow White update? Buckle up, folks. We’re not in storybook land anymore—this is 2025, where fairy tale bombshells drop faster than an apple from the Evil Queen. Snow White, fictional OG Disney princess, has been getting more press lately than my last disastrous haircut, and trust me, both have been headline-worthy, but only one involves synthetic dwarves.

First, let’s talk about the “big” news. The recent Disney live-action remake of Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, took a spectacular nosedive at the box office, grossing just $205.7 million against a bloated $270 million production budget, which swells to $370 million when you count marketing—yes, Disney apparently thought we’d be dying to see updated CGI dwarfs and a prince-free narrative. The film was hailed—if you lean into the sarcasm—as the studio’s most ambitious remake ever. Turns out, ambition might be overrated when your audience would rather rewatch the 1937 cartoon or, honestly, clean a few actual dwarves’ houses[Collider][Wikipedia][Disneydining].

But wait, there’s more. The failure ignited broader repercussions in Disney’s princess pipeline. Word on the street—and by street, I mean places like Collider and ComicBookMovie.com—is that Snow White’s box office belly flop led Disney to pause other remakes. Tangled got mothballed, only to be revived hot on the heels of Lilo & Stitch, which mysteriously made a billion dollars—if I had hair that long, I’d pull it out trying to figure out why. Now, Tangled’s back, with Scarlett Johansson possibly playing Mother Gothel. Imagine that: Marvel star goes full Disney villain. Somewhere, someone on social media tried to connect these dots with a meme, and yes, Danny Ramirez really did tag Disney directly hoping for a Rapunzel role—because nothing says “fairy tale” like thirst tweets from the Marvel universe[ComicBookMovie][Disneydining][Insidethemagic].

On the controversy scoreboard, the remake kept Twitter flaming with complaints about casting, diversity, and what counted as “too modern.” Everyone from Peter Dinklage to random YouTube commenters made their opinions known. The first trailer managed a million dislikes in three weeks, which is almost impressive until you realize most were probably from people who miss animated woodland creatures that aren’t nightmare fuel[Wikipedia].

And if you thought the drama was over, think again. Zegler got hammered from all sides—her remarks about the 1937 original, her support for Palestine, and her critics making a federal case out of whether Snow White should be “woke.” The LA premiere was reportedly scaled back to just photographers. No afterparty with poisoned apples, I guess[Variety][AOL].

But here’s the kicker: three months after debut, Snow White the box office bomb became a streaming hit. It’s spent 90 days in Disney+’s top charts—proof that when you can hate-watch from your couch, everyone’s a critic and nobody pays $12 for popcorn[Collider].

So that’s your flash Snow White rundown—rumpled, controversial, and still being tweeted about by people who probably thought dwarves were a cryptocurrency. Thanks for sticking with Biography Flash.
