Disney’s 100th anniversary was supposed to be a celebration of its legendary legacy, but instead, it’s turning into an era of unprecedented backlash and leading the charge is the Snow White live-action remake.
The controversy surrounding this film has snowballed into what could only be described as a PR disaster, leaving Disney CEO Bob Iger reportedly scrambling for solutions.
When the Snow White 2025 trailer dropped, it wasn’t just a flop, it was obliterated online, quickly earning the title of one of the most disliked trailers in cinematic history. Fans and critics alike accused Disney of pushing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at the expense of storytelling, sparking heated debates about the company’s direction. And let’s not forget the ongoing drama surrounding lead actress Rachel Zegler and co-star Gal Gadot, adding fuel to the fire.
With five failed test screenings (yes, FIVE), boycotts gaining momentum, and social media ablaze with criticism, the once-mighty Disney brand is in uncharted waters. Can Iger and his team salvage this sinking ship, or will Snow White cement its legacy as one of Disney’s biggest missteps?
