Snow White is overflowing as a modern turning of cartoon classics

Mark Web Musical Adaptation Snowman– The dazzling remake of the first fairy -tale movie of the studio, a remarkable edition of 1937, which helped to launch its entertainment kingdom – it may have the most un -realistic expectations of it. But rest assured: it delivers its own sweet rotation of the original story, while it is true to the main stones of the animated classic. And most importantly, there is no denial Rachel Zgler wears the movie with the best voice performance of any Disney Princess Live.

Now, the original animation Snowman Obviously, a work of art is laid, mostly because it was the first feature tale of animated films ever produced in the United States, and the beginning of Disney’s historical heritage in the theatrical animation of length. There has been nothing like this before, and that in itself is perhaps the hardest thing to overcome live adaptation. What does this movie do besides just another one of Live editions of Disney?

Back in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs“The story had to be effective and simply like the masses of that era. Walt Disney and its animators could not expand much to the classic makeup tale; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs It was the experiment. So the expectation that this live version will reflect exactly what has come before is unrealistic. This is not the first adaptation of Disney live and the world of 2025 is very different from that of the late 1930s.

A modern live movie, has a space to play with the making of the original SnowmanGiving him very necessary updates, skillfully written by Erin Cresida Wilson. There is more room to give Snow White (Zegler) and her love interest Jonathan (Andrew Burnap) a more plausible encounter with the meeting, and most importantly, we give our princess a more basic motivation to the right renaissance of the era. Zegler puts snow authentic with innocence and naive kindness, which develops in a different form of power for young girls who have to seek, a welcome change from the role of the animated snow as a reactive character who leaves the rescue to happen to her.

It is an evolution that is cleverly done without sacrificing the love story, which is essential to the story. There is no girl for girls here; She is still a princess who meets a boy who accidentally is a bandit from her village and falls in love, despite their opposite places in the kingdom. This is a love story, with a boy of manic pixies on the wrong side of the kingdom and the onset of Snezhanka’s age trip. It is charming and empowers all at once.

And works because the web has had the skill of love stories since 500 days of summerWhich took a non -functional relationship and made him feel idyllic and big in the head of the main character. He did too Spiderman Movies in which Peter Parker and Gwen Stacey made a superhero feel more human through his true relationship with the woman he loved and lost. In SnowmanWebbelling Zegler and Burnap Channelization of old Hollywood chemistry that behaves Happened one night and Shall we dance“But some Bride and Aladdin also. Witness to the fact that the heartfelt first love between Snow and Jonathan makes them so easy to eradicate and helps to make this the latest live live action, more like a metallic musical romance.

And so the web, along with the music duo Pasek and Paul and Choreographer Mandy Moore, worship the original in a surprisingly loyal way. So while “I wish”, “One Song” and “Someday My Prince will come” are missed here, the movie still conveys this eternal sense of romance that drives the old Hollywood films to their happy endings. Gives Fred and Ginger in the forest with music numbers like “princesses problems” and again BrideWith Burnap, it looks like young Carrie Elvas. Zgler is undeniable, attracting relative chemistry through his stunning singing; Burnap meets her at her level, especially in my new favorite Disney duet, “The Hand Meet Hand.” In these moments, SnowmanThe combination of actors, music, dance numbers and director is profitable. The songs led by the “wait of desire,” sparkle Snowman Determined to be an instant classic of Disney.

The movie really stumbles with only two bright things: the brutal -looking CG dwarves and the Gal Gadot, which are highly missing as the evil queen. Just throwing a beautiful woman is not enough, the evil Queen of Gadot does not serve wild the way the legendary role of the villain is needed. Gadot is struggling to create a compelling performance and her music numbers make you wish someone with a stronger singing experience instead. In the new song of the Queen’s Zola for the movie “Everything is Honest,” Gadot struggles, sounding almost as if her voice was placed by after processing, this is a few steps beyond the prostate autoto. They couldn’t even hide it, as the scene was filled with too many cuts for what was supposed to be a big show. My head was spinning from cuts, jumping everywhere, especially when the evil queen had to hit a high note, and it hardly appeared that Gadot made an effort to falsify the right breaths that a singer would take and just oral synchronized.

And dwarves, OOF. They tried really-I want to say that at least they don’t look dead eyes and approach their appearance Harry PotterBut they still looked just Turning off. The only thing that saves dwarves is the voice cast that all really captures the sweet energy of beloved magical creatures. The film is even trying to give them a more engaged role in providing them with fantastic skills related to the gems that pass, but does not actually research it enough to make sense, leaving it to feel like a loose thread, at least. It is better than the election made in the past with CG Disney Sidekicks, but there was to be a better way to divide the difference and allow actors’ performances to shine through the technical aspects that people prefer to watch the valley’s humanoid creatures.

Having two basic elements of Snowman The tale just misses the brand is already something like an unfortunate tradition in the Disney Live-Action Remake franchise. Even Cinderellawho is advertised as one of the best, removed the songs of the main character and Beauty and the Beast I had an automatically tuned white Snowman At least we get new songs that create a new romance of the story of a generation that can learn desires can come true if you rise to meet them and they can come with a prince.

Generally Snowman is an enchanting musical with an empowering message to stand with your people against in vain and evil tyrant. And most of all, he does, which save on the abuse of digital improvements that fans will not yet like. Disney’s rock history with his live remains hits a decent charming note in SnowmanBut perhaps probably not the one who will fill the offenders of the trend with confidence in front of even more who come on the way, such as Lilo & stitch and EntangledS One thing is, at least: Zegler has won her place as the Snow White of this generation, and the franchise is even better for him.

Snowman It hits the theaters this Friday, March 21st.
