It is known that Rachel Zegler will be the first actress of Hispanic origin in the role of Snow White. This fact caused heated discussions as to whether a girl of another race could play a character from a German fairy tale.
The film was also criticized by Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, born with dwarfism (dwarfism). He stressed that people with this form of development are still poorly represented in art in society.

“You try to be progressive, but again you talk about seven dwarfs who live together in a cave. What the heck? Have I not been clear enough all these years?” he protested.
True, Disney promised to take into account his comments.

The original cartoon Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, was first released in 1938. It became Walt Disney’s first animated film and was a huge success for the studio. Thanks to innovative techniques, the tape won an Oscar.

Produced by Mark Platt (La La Land, etc.). Composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman) are working on the songs for Snow White.
