Disney released the first teaser trailer for its live-action Snow White film at a recent event, but fan response has been mixed. Starring Rachel Zegler as Snow White, the movie now has a planned 2025 release after facing delays. While some praised Zegler’s singing from the trailer, other aspects prompted debates over modern interpretations of the classic story.

The depiction of the seven dwarves drew particular commentary. Aiming to avoid potential stereotyping as mentioned by actor Peter Dinklage, Disney used computer-generated images instead of casting short actors. However, many felt the CGI characters looked unrealistic. Additionally, digital animals and landscapes dominated the trailer over live elements, causing questions about the film’s visual direction.

Fans also observed key differences in Snow White’s appearance. Zegler’s wig lacked the volume and style of the animated character, drawing comparisons to other on-screen hairstyles.

Further, Snow White’s signature red headband was missing.
