Gotta say that trailer isn't selling it to me. The dwarves (are we allowed to say that, or are they still "magical creatures"?) don't look right, and the forest animals are too cartoony. Plus the plot seems to be being changed to make Snow White a more active. Nothing wrong with that but either make it its own thing, or do a remake. Also the mirror lies. Even in that headdress Gal Gadot's beauty is > Rachel Zegler's.

 

If anyone wants a revisionist take on Snow White I'd heartily recommend "Mirror Mirror". It has a beautiful Snow White in Lily Collins who gets to do more than wait for her prince to save her*, actual dwarves (made before Peter Dinklage got famous enough to stir that pot) and a great musical number:

 

 

*Though more recent revelations suggest that he's more likely to want to eat her.

The dwarves (are we allowed to say that, or are they still "magical creatures"?) ...

Just on this point, I called my eldest sibling out recently for what I perceived as racism, he corrected his statement and then I called him out for sexism. He then grumbled that you can't say anything any more and then inanely (or it could be argued insanely) said it's like you can't say short people can't get a job stacking shelves (the fact that elves is in that word is purely coincidence). I pointed out that as far as I am aware, he is fine with that as there isn't a law in England the prohibits heightism. I don't necessarily believe that is the case globally though. Apologies for the thread deviation, but I need to air that.

The "dwarves" comment was in reference to an earlier claim that there wouldn't be dwarves in the movie and that they were being replaced with "seven magical creatures". This may have been prompted by the Daily Fail's unauthorised set pics that showed what were probably the reference stand-ins for the CG crew. As the movie has had a number of reshoots it's also possible that the seven have since been replaced by things closer to the animated version.

Understood, but I'm told statistically 6 out of 7 dwarves aren't happy
