I'm sorry, but I HATE Rachel Zegler's hair in this. That horrible semi-Dutch bob parted in the middle is sooooooo unflattering. Say what you want about animated Snow White, but her hair was ON POINT: the soft, 1930s waves with the cute hair bow can't be improved upon.

And the dress could’ve been better too.

I hate that Rachel and Gal are already getting so much crap for this, for different reasons, when the movie isn’t even out yet.

It's giving - 'Snow White & the Huntsman' vibes, with 'rally the troops and take the kingdom back'.

Did they delete the prince from the story? Yeah, there's a love interest there, who I assume gives the 'true love's kiss', but is he supposed to be the Prince?

I do like the little bit of the new song for Zegler that they played.

I could nitpick, but overall Snow White and the evil Queen look fine; the problem is that they want to match the costumes to the look from the animated version, and I don't think what looked fine in 2D 80+ years ago looks good on an actual human now.

Sorry, not sold on Gadot as the Evil Queen; especially compared to the several better live action versions that have come before her.

Not really sold on the CGI dwarves either; but I don't think there was any perfect solution, no matter which way Disney went with them.

Probably too late now, but IMHO, if Disney wants this to do well they need(ed) to (make) market this for the kids and family market; not the nostalgia market.

I don't like the velvety top portion with the frilly, tulle-like skirt. It makes no sense. It looks like a lesser Etsy creation. I'm sure people had complaints about OG Snow White's pumps, but how are those goofy ballet slippers any better? 

I feel so vindicated that moderngurlz also doesn't like Rachel Zegler's SW hair.

Given the casting of Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron in that movie, it also raises the same question: Is Snow White really fairer than the Evil Queen? (Of course, the Huntsman, played by Chris Hemsworth, was arguably just as fair.)

If we're talking about beauty both inside and outside, then 'yes.' But if we're talking purely surface beauty, then 'no.' But ymmv.

Yeah, mileage varies (they're both pretty). But then they seem to also be using the other meaning of "fair" - as in, 'just' or 'legitimate'.

Michael Gracey In Negotiations To Direct Live-Action ‘Tangled’ For Disney

Quote

Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) has entered negotiations to direct a live-action Tangled film for Disney, Deadline can reveal.

<...>

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the multi-hyphenate behind titles like Do Revenge, Thor: Love and Thunder and Sony’s upcoming reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer, penned the most recent draft of the script. Kristin Burr will produce for Burr! Productions along with Emmy-winning producer Lucy Kitada (The Baby-Sitters Club). No word yet on casting.

 

I figure the hardest thing to translate from the animated film is Max the horse. And they could probably just have Donna Murphy be Gothel again, but they'd probably cast someone younger and then age them.
