The latest addition to Disney’s growing collection of live-action adaptations of classic animations has arrived. Although many critics found the new film underwhelming, our own review of Snow White was more favorable. Fans have been divided, with some appreciating Snow White while others are indifferent towards it. There are several potential explanations for why the movie didn’t resonate with viewers, but one possible factor could be that visually, compared to other live-action remakes, Snow White fell short of expectations.
Intrigued by the buzz on Threads, I stumbled upon a post comparing two live-action Disney princesses – Cinderella and Snow White. The question posed was why does Cinderella, as portrayed by Lily James, seem more captivating than Snow White, represented by Rachel Zegler? Upon scrutinizing the official movie images, it’s hard to deny that the visual allure of Cinderella in her resplendent gown overshadows the depiction of Snow White amidst the dwarfs. Considering that the original Snow White film cost a mere fraction of its reported budget, its timeless beauty is undeniably evident.

Amidst numerous supporters of Snow White in the comments, as well as some inappropriate remarks centering around Rachel Zegler’s casting, the overwhelming consensus among most seems to be that the new version is visually more appealing compared to its predecessor. Remarks made include…
- Maybe a hot take but the live action Cinderella is much better than the original and still remains the best remake to date
- The year CGI reached its ultimate peak, filmmakers got lazy with practical effects.
- Ok I was giving a chance to Snow White but I’ve never seen anything so poorly executed! Like did they swallow the 300 mill?
- The hardest part for me to fathom is that the same woman designed both the Cinderella dress and the Snow White dress…
The difference in cost between one film, around $300 million, and another at approximately $95 million can be attributed to the extensive use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the former, notably more than in the latter – Snow White. This surplus of CGI likely influenced the overall aesthetic of the movie as well, given that the entire visual aspect would have needed to be tailored to ensure the CGI appeared visually appealing.
Despite the rationale behind it, it’s undeniable that Snow White’s extravagant budget poses an issue, not just because it didn’t result in a flawless visual presentation. In contrast, Cinderella managed to earn over half a billion dollars globally on a meager budget, becoming a tremendous success. Furthermore, it’s widely regarded as one of the finest Disney live-action remakes so far.
The high budget of Snow White is problematic, not just due to its impact on the film’s appearance, but because Cinderella thrived on a limited budget, earning over $500 million worldwide and being highly acclaimed as one of Disney’s best live-action remakes.
Regardless of Snow White reaching that figure, it’s improbable because of its modest debut. However, even if it did, the high expenses related to advertising and distribution would probably still leave the movie falling short of success.
Regardless of your personal opinions on the two films, it’s evident that a film doesn’t have to be expensive to look visually appealing, and investing more funds does not guarantee superior quality in every case.
