Not since 2023’s Barbie have conservatives found a film they so love to hate. Snow White’s press tour was doomed from the start, with lead actress Rachel Zegler first bashing the source material and then proudly endorsing various progressive shibboleths. If all press really were good press, the film probably wouldn’t have had such a middling opening weekend. The unfavorable reviews certainly haven’t helped.

But despite its infamy, the new Snow White is far from woke. It is deeply inoffensive, leaving one to wonder whether the film would’ve flopped even without the controversy. Perhaps in Disney’s eyes, at least we’re talking about it at all.
