Snow White Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Snow White fans, crank up the magic mirror because it’s been a blizzard of headlines and drama for our fairest of them all. All right, first things first: Snow White, still entirely fictional unless you count that time I hallucinated her at a haunted apple orchard, just got tossed back into the pop culture cauldron courtesy of Disney’s 2025 live-action Snow White remake. And wow, she’s causing more divisions than my high school algebra class.

So, the movie dropped in March, starring Rachel Zegler, who apparently now can’t leave an airport without a TMZ camera in her face asking about trolls, dwarves, and princes with boundary issues. Zegler dodged the latest firestorm with a “I feel great, thank you,” which, as someone who’s tried to answer adult questions on three hours of sleep, I deeply respect. Meanwhile, Disney has straight-up scaled back the LA premiere. Gone are the masses of media—just a few photographers snapping pics, like it’s a rushed family reunion and somebody’s uncle forgot the tripod. The London premiere? Canceled. It’s like Disney’s hoping no one will notice if they tiptoe out the back door. The studio is so confident about this movie they’re practically witness-protecting it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Now, onto the seven dwarves. Or, should I say, seven... magical creatures? Yup, following Peter Dinklage’s legendary callout about recycling stereotypes, Disney decided to chuck the dwarves for an assortment of mystical beings. Sorry Grumpy and Dopey, you’ve been benched. Fan reaction online ranges from “It’s about time!” to “Where’d you hide my grumpy little dudes?” If you want to see a fandom in meltdown, just scroll through Snow White Twitter. And as if that wasn’t enough, VFX artists are now breaking down the “uncanny valley” effect of the creatures in viral YouTube hot takes. Apparently, the dwarves looked so realistic next to actual humans it freaked everyone out, or in the words of top VFX nerds, “aesthetically unpleasant.” Same, honestly, whenever I activate my webcam.

Box office? The magic is wearing thin. Snow White stumbled hard, managing around $205 million globally—a rounding error in Disney math. Lilo & Stitch is laughing all the way to a billion while Snow White streams away on Disney+, quietly racking up views from hate-watchers and nostalgic night owls. On the bright side, Rachel Zegler just took home a West End award for her stage debut in Evita, so at least someone’s having a happily ever after.

And that, goldfish attention spans and all, is your Snow White drama this week: canceled carpets, swapped dwarves, artistic uncanny valleys, and a lead actress dodging drama with all the finesse of, well, a fairy-tale princess.
