Disney’s “Snow White” hit theaters on March 21, marking a scaled-back premiere with select Disney representatives and industry professionals. The event took place behind the El Capitan Theatre, featuring activities like nail polish installations and flower bouquet-making stations for kids.
Disney co-star Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, made appearances at various events before the screening, including in New York City. Meanwhile, Zegler continued her promotional tour for the movie, performing live in Tokyo and Spain.
However, “Snow White” has been surrounded by controversy since its development, with some fans disapproving of Zegler’s casting due to her Colombian heritage and disagreements over the film’s portrayal of romance and work-life balance. Actress Rachel Zegler responded to online hate in a recent interview, stating she aimed to convey Snow White’s multifaceted personality.
The movie’s production team took steps to address concerns about representation, consulting with members of the dwarfism community for its live-action adaptation. Despite controversy, “Snow White” brings a new perspective to the classic tale, featuring Zegler and Gadot in starring roles.
