Yes, Disney’s Original ‘Snow White’ Needed an Update — And the New Version Definitely Delivered on That

Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for 'Snow White'Considering the large gap between the release of the live-action Snow White and the Disney animated classic, it makes sense that substantial changes have been made to the narrative to make it more accessible to modern-day audiences. These differences can be split into three major categories: those that occur before the original movie begins that flesh out Snow White’s (Rachel Zegler) childhood, changes to the foundational plot line, and the extended finale that takes place after the credits roll in the animated classic. These changes each serve a different purpose, with the longer opening and ending of the story put in place to give Snow White more agency and motivation, compared to the alterations to the story itself, serving to update the outdated aspects of the original surrounding consent, gender, and diversity.
