It’s been a rough ride for the Snow White remake, and now things have hit an all-time low. The new Disney movie is getting review-bombed on IMDb, scoring one of the worst ratings in IMDb history.
Even before its release, Snow White had a rocky start. The casting of Rachel Zegler as the iconic princess was labeled as “too woke,” production was delayed by the SAG-AFTRA strike, and the movie’s budget ballooned to over $270 million 💸💥. But it turns out those weren’t the reasons behind the 1.9/10 IMDb score.
😱 Snow White’s Disaster Rating
If you take a look at IMDb today, you’ll find Snow White sitting at a shocking 1.9/10, placing it among the lowest-rated films of all time. With 23,000 1-star ratings, the film joins the company of Disaster Movie, From Justin to Kelly, and Race 3 in the bottom 15 of IMDb ratings 👎🔥.
💸 Box Office Performance
Despite this, the film’s box office performance isn’t a total flop, though it has fallen short of expectations. It earned $44.3 million domestically and $87.3 million globally—less than the $100 million that was originally expected 🎬💵.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is 73% while the critic score is 43%. It’s not great, but it’s definitely better than its IMDb score 📊.
🤔 Why Is Snow White Getting So Much Hate?
There’s no single reason for the massive backlash, but a few key issues have caused the film to tank:
🎭 Rachel Zegler’s “Woke” Backlash
Zegler faced intense criticism for her portrayal of Snow White, with many arguing that her version of the character was too politically correct. Additionally, her comments about the 1937 original being “extremely dated” didn’t sit well with fans. She also stated that Snow White wasn’t going to be saved by the prince, but would instead dream of becoming a strong leader inspired by her late father 🏰🌸.
The controversy sparked an “End Wokeness” movement, with critics quickly latching onto the change and even making their own anti-woke movie in response 🔥🎬.
🤯 Gal Gadot and Political Tensions
It wasn’t just Zegler who caught heat. Gal Gadot also faced backlash due to her Israeli military background, especially after Zegler’s public support for Palestine during the Gaza conflict 🕊️🇵🇸🇮🇱. This caused tension between the two actresses and further fueled calls to boycott the film.
👺 The Dwarf Controversy
And then there’s the seven dwarves. Actor Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism, slammed the remake for being “backwards” in its portrayal of dwarves. He questioned why Disney chose to reinforce stereotypes instead of casting actual dwarf actors 🧙♂️. Disney responded by claiming they’d consulted with the dwarfism community to avoid stereotypes, but the use of CGI instead of real actors still stirred up controversy 🎥👎.
🎉 Snow White’s Scaled-Back Launch
In an effort to minimize controversy, Disney avoided a global press tour and opted for a US premiere and a smaller event in Spain, where the original animation was inspired 🏰✨.
🍿 Catch Snow White in Theaters Now
Despite the drama and controversy, Snow White is still in theaters, and whether or not it can recover from this massive backlash remains to be seen. 🎬🪄
