The scene offers a darker, more suspenseful moment that didn’t make the final cut:the Evil Queen’s soldierssearch the woods for Snow White and discover her signaturered bowamong the foliage, which is a pretty sharp total contrast to the more whimsical beats of the finished film, and a fun peek at what directorMarc Webband writerErin Cressida Wilsonexplored before settling on the theatrical version.

Is ‘Snow White’ Worth Checking Out?
Collider’sRoss Bonaimefound plenty to like in the film, which also featuredGal Gadot, Andrew Burnap, Ansu Kabiaand more.Bonaime was particularly takenwith Zegler’s performance as Disney’s original princess, labelling it “…without a doubt,one of the better performances from a live-action Disney princess so far, and Zegler beautifully captures this character’s heart while still giving her more agency and depth than she had before.” Bonaime finished by pointing out that the film had overperformed on-screen based on the publicity surrounding it, and that the film did a fine job in “pulling off” the modern update.
Considering the pressure this movie has going against it in remaking one of Disney’s first true masterpieces and their first-ever animated feature, it’s surprising how wellSnow Whitepulls off this update…Snow Whitedeserved an update of sorts, and this is an admirable new take that certainly is one of the better live-action remakes from Disney.
Snow Whitelands onPrime Video and other digital platforms May 13, with physical copies arrivingJune 24. Check out our exclusive look at the film above.
