Are Disney fans watching the new Snow White trailer with a smile and a song?

The trailer shows Rachel Zegler in full regalia as Snow White, the iconic princess that started Disney’s decades-long reign as the top tier of family entertainment. Zegler stars with Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, Snow White’s stepmother. The film hails from Mark Platt and Jared LeBoff, the producer and executive producer of Wicked, and is directed by The Amazing Spider-Man‘s Marc Webb.

The live-action film is billed as a “reimagining” of the 1937 animated classic, and the trailer shows how much the film wants to transport its audience into a storybook land of whimsy and beauty. One of the most discussed parts of the story, the seven dwarves, are presented here in CGI.

The new song in ‘Snow White’

A new addition to the Snow White tale is a new song, “Waiting on a Wish,” by The Greatest Showman songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. “Waiting on a Wish,” which is previewed in the trailer, is just one of several new songs being added to the story’s repertoire. While The Greatest Showman quickly became a fan favorite because of its catchy tunes, it will be interesting to see how Snow White purists feel about a new song hoping to stand alongside the classics.

When does ‘Snow White’ come to theaters?

Snow White comes to theaters on March 21, 2025.
