Kenya, March 22 -- Disney's new live-action movie of the classic fairy tale Snow White has sparked a lot of discussion among people. This is mainly because of changes in the story and the lead actress, Rachel Zegler.
In this film, Snow White is shown as a strong, active leader, not just a princess waiting to be saved. Some people like this new idea, while others are unhappy that it is different from the original 1937 animated movie.
Rachel Zegler, who is known for her role in West Side Story, has become a central figure in the debate. She has spoken out against former President Donald Trump and his supporters, which has led to both support and criticism from fans.
Social media is full of different opinions. Some people support Zegler for being honest, while others think her views have pushed away many Disney fans.
The film's story has also caused mixed reactions. The traditional prince character is not in this version. Instead, Snow White is shown as an independent leader.
Some people think this is a positive change, while others feel it goes too far from the original story and disappoints long-time fans.
Early reviews of the film have not been very good. It has received a low audience score on review websites, and critics have given mixed opinions on how well the film is made.
Box office predictions are not looking good either, suggesting that the controversy and story changes may have affected how eager people are to see it. Disney has not given an official statement about the film's performance yet.
As discussions continue, Snow White is becoming an important topic in the conversation about updating classic stories while keeping what audiences expect.
