Once upon a time season 1 is the best Snow White out of all those.
Frankly, a lot of stuff from this movie seems to borrow from Snow White and the Huntsman and Mirror, Mirror since those were already more fleshed-out versions of the fairy tale. Case in point, the Evil Queen being a sorceress and her life force or powers are connected to the magic mirror. Evil Queen being a tyrannical monarch and creating dissidents and a resistance movement against her is kind of like Mirror, Mirror. Plus the Seven Dwarfs are Seven Bandits, even though there is a group of Seven Bandits and Seven Dwarfs who are separate here.
To me, the problem with the remakes is they are bland, flaccid, and tepid. They have no vibrancy or warmth to them. They don't incite emotions. I think a good example of this is in the Little Mermaid, everything is so bland and lifeless. Javier Bardem is so low energy as King Triton. He looks bored most of the time. Under the Sea's lyrics don't really match what's happening onscreen anymore. Also, remember Kiss the Girl? That number is great because Sebastian and the gang are bringing the whole lagoon to life and the whole forest is coming alive and singing in a chorus and cheering on Eric and Ariel. In the live-action version, it's just Sebastian, Scuttle, and Flounder, and it's just so boring. The lagoon doesn't come alive and really get you into the spirit of the music.
It's so romantic and lovely. You've got the whole animal kingdom getting into the spirit of the moment. The imagery makes you really feel the romance in the air. It's beautiful.
Comparatively, the live-action version feels so lifeless and neutered. Plus you have to deal with Awkwafina's awful singing interrupting the moment. And it's kind of like this all across the board in the Disney remakes.
If only they put some effort into explaining why the Evil Queen stuff in this film. Its like Disney doesnt know how to make a well rounded villain. Either they have to become heroic and in the right or they just have to be evil with no real backstory or anything. At least Cinderella did a great job of fleshing out Lady Tremaine from what I remember.
That and woke are the popular catch phrases.The media appears to be blaming Rachel Zegler and her Palestine comments causing the less than stellar box office.![]()

But do both of them still have that cartoony energy?The big issue with Aladdin is that you had two people who could have easily carried the mantle Robin Williams left behind in the forms of Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy, both great comedians who are as cartoony as possible.
And they still chose Will Smith. I get they didn't want a repeat of Williams but Carrey and Murphy aren't like Williams; they just have the cartoony energy needed for the role but could still bring something new.
When a movie is horrible, Nobody seems to question it. So why do we ask questions if a movie turns out to be, GOOD?It's going to be hard to explain to future generations how Wonder Woman turned out as good as it did.![]()
Will Smith wasn't a bad choice for the Genie. A charismatic A-lister who's had plenty of box office success in his career. But I don't think they were looking for cartoony energy. Not a single one of these remakes have replicated that slapstick aspect from the original films but it looks like Stitch himself might be the one exception in the upcoming Lilo & Stitch remake.The big issue with Aladdin is that you had two people who could have easily carried the mantle Robin Williams left behind in the forms of Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy, both great comedians who are as cartoony as possible.

Huh? People question how movies turn out horribly all the time, especially on the internet.When a movie is horrible, Nobody seems to question it. So why do we ask questions if a movie turns out to be, GOOD?

A ★★ review of Snow White (2025)
Magic Mirror on the wall, who's the worst actor of them all? ... and was I the only one who thought of "whistle while you twerk" during that scene? Very plain and very generic in a somewhat inoffensive way (aside from a couple of things). It's yet another Disney factory live-action slop that is...letterboxd.com
Lol yeah thats all stuff you save into you're well into your career. Lets not forget how Heigl was dragged for calling out Greys Anatomy writers for having her have fever sex with a ghost.Eh, even if Ziegler was right about the original Snow White story being iffy, I did cringe for her when she brought it up, cause I knew they was going to cling to that and not let it go. She also had another iffy moment/comment when she stated that she took her Shazam 2 role cause of a payday. She is still young, but her PR team was working overtime. Lol
