Snow White D23 Teaser Trailer's Release Sparks Volatile Fan Reactions

As a seasoned cinephile with over three decades of moviegoing under my belt, I must say that the reactions to the Snow White teaser trailer have left me both amused and baffled. It seems we’ve reached a new level of fandom when pitchforks and torches are being brandished over CGI dwarfs and the perceived beauty of our characters.


The buzz surrounding the teaser trailer for the upcoming live-action Snow White film featuring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot is intense. Instead of sweet dreams of candy canes, one might imagine a mob of angry villagers brandishing pitchforks and torches, such is the fervor of some online responses to the fresh footage unveiled at D23. Indeed, many fans seem less than thrilled with this new teaser, and the critical comments are mounting in the YouTube video’s comment section. Tweet by @Ze0do0Gas reads:

It was very brave of Disney not to disable comments. Let the fun begin!!

The sneak peek for Snow White’s movie showcases its grand scale and stunning visuals, including impressive costume design and set pieces that could potentially win an Oscar. However, the trailer faced criticism from various angles. One of the main points of contention is director Marc Webb’s choice to use CGI rather than real actors for the Seven Dwarfs. Regardless of individual concerns, fans are expressing their opinions following the controversial trailer release last night, as exemplified by @jaredgagnon7342.

The fresh video focuses on attacking the Oscar-nominated actress Rachel Zegler, who demonstrates her powerful singing voice in the trailer by performing Adriana Caselotti’s iconic song “Whistle While You Work.” Despite evoking a sense of nostalgia for some viewers, many fans continue to have issues with the movie. According to @roc5291:

“As someone who spent their childhood immersed in your cinematic glory days, I feel compelled to share that authors are currently penning stories about you and your movies, serving as warnings for future companies on how to steer clear of the pitfalls that led to your decline.”

Ever since the sneak peek of the movie “Snow White” was released on Friday, August 9, the fresh footage has garnered approximately 2.3 million views from YouTube alone, with 36,000 likes and is currently ranking second in popularity.

The trailer for Snow White, which was already causing tension among Disney fans, fueled the flames even more. However, it’s not just the story or the “Seven Dwarfs” issue that has fans talking. Instead, there seems to be a disagreement among viewers regarding the casting choices, particularly between Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. The debate centers around the iconic line, “Magic mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all,” with some fans questioning if these actresses truly embody the contrast in beauty that this phrase suggests. @onyx_0807 expressed this concern in a post they edited.

When the mirror declared, ‘Snow White is more beautiful,’ it might lead spectators in cinemas to remark, ‘That mirror seems faulty or biased.’

It’s clear that many spectators hold the view that Zegler and Gadot differ significantly in terms of their visual appeal, a subjective aspect that is arguably not the most accurate gauge for talent evaluation, especially in acting. However, these opinions persist, with fans expressing them frequently in the comments section of the teaser trailer. @chaiwatsongsiriphan6284 also added his two cents on this topic.

Evil queen: ‘Who is the fairest one of all?’ The mirror: ‘You.’ –The end–.

There is no reason for [the] Evil Queen to be jealous of Snow White.

Zegler has faced criticism in the past, but it seems some fans are criticizing her once more following the public release of the teaser trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of Snow White. Despite this, the last 30 seconds of the new footage primarily focus on a significant moment in the story: when the Evil Queen chooses to create the crucial poison apple.

momentarily, spectators can see Gadot donning a prosthetic mask following her grotesque metamorphosis – she laughs wickedly and revels in joy. In the final moments of the teaser, the masked queen presents the fatal fruit to an unknowing recipient. Consequently, although the trailer showcases an enticing and visually appealing sneak peek of the upcoming film, many fans find it hard to accept or embrace this latest live-action interpretation of Snow White.
