Disney’s new Snow White does not get the story right. One big problem is how the movie shows beauty, which is a very important part of the original tale. Rachel Zegler is pretty, but Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, looks far more stunning. This makes the Queen’s jealousy feel strange and not believable.
In the classic story, Snow White and the Queen are both supposed to be extremely beautiful. The Queen is jealous because Snow White’s beauty matches hers, along with her innocence and kindness. But in this version, the Queen’s obsession does not make sense because there is no real competition. The story loses its main reason for why the Queen wants to get rid of Snow White.
