Disney has released the official trailer for Snow White, the studio’s upcoming live-action remake of the animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. And if you were hoping the dwarfs in the film would be bloated and terrifying CGI human monsters sitting right in the deepest part of the uncanny valley, well, I’ve got good news for you. For everyone else…. oh boy.
Here’s that trailer, in case you haven’t seen it:
The idea of a Snow White remake always made me nervous. Even if you aren’t a massive Disney fan (and I would consider myself to be one), the original Snow White movie, released in 1937, is a genuine piece of cinematic history. So remaking Snow White as a live-action movie felt almost sacrilegious and always seemed like a bad idea. And now, my fears have been confirmed via the first official trailer for the remake.
While I think Rachel Zegler is a fantastic Snow White, nearly everything else about this trailer looks bad or bland. But the worst part of the, by far, are the nightmare fuel dwarfs.
