Title: Snow White
Genre: Musical
Director: Marc Webb
Cast: Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot, Andrew Burnap, Martin Klebba, Joshmaine Joseph, Gabriela Garcia, Lukus Alexander, Misa Koide
Release: 2025-03-21
Plot: Live-action adaptation of the 1937 Disney animated film 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'.This is the bad idea we get because we continue to pay money for the Disney remakes:

To be fair, Marc Webb is good at directing musical numbers. If they're going to do this, he's probably as good a choice as anybody they could find and will make something decent. But considering Snow White's status as the film that built the company, this seems even more misguided than usual.
But I paid $15.98 to see the new Aladdin last week and I'm almost definitely going to pay to see the not-that-new Lion King, not because I think we need it but because I feel obligated to see what they've done with my favorite things. So I can't really say "We don't need this" because I'm enabling them to do it, and so are the rest of us.
