Has Disney's Live-Action SNOW WHITE Movie Been Canceled? Here's The Latest On Controversial Remake

If you're on social media, there's a very good chance you've recently seen claims that Disney's live-action version Snow White has been scrapped. Unrelated comments from lead star Rachel Zegler have already been manipulated to create more ill-feeling towards the movie and this seems to be part of that. 

It all started when a parody site, MouseTrap News, posted a story claiming the studio had pulled the plug on this controversial remake. Unaware that it was meant in jest, thousands of people have flocked to X and TikTok to declare victory in their war against, er, Snow White. 

However, despite what you might have seen, Snow White has not been cancelled by Disney

While the movie has definitely divided opinions, there's simply no way the studio is going to scrap a movie they've spent hundreds of millions of dollars on because of social media backlash. 

Snow White is definitely going to have the odds stacked against it, particularly after the decision was made to replace the Seven Dwarfs. There's also the deeply unfortunate fact some people are unhappy simply because a Latina actress has been cast in the title role. 

Ultimately, Disney may have misjudged their approach to this property when it came to modernising the story. While there are problematic elements which needed to be changed (similar to The Little Mermaid), such a drastic reinvention definitely risks alienating longtime fans. 

Zegler, meanwhile, has definitely made remarks which have done little to win support and there are certain outlets that have jumped at the chance to write this movie off as another example of Hollywood being politically correct or "woke."

We won't know how Snow White has turned out until it arrives in theaters next March. There's every chance it will exceed expectations and be another Aladdin; then again, it could prove as disastrous as Pinocchio

What we can confidently say is the movie is still being released!
