It's hard to say what they were going for with this version; I’m not sure who Disney intended as its audience because it makes some pretty significant changes to the classic fairy tale. The story is reworked in a way that feels jarring, and it includes songs and dance numbers that feel generic—the choreography could easily have been from a local fair instead of a major production. This telling largely sets aside the magical aspects of the original story, presenting us with a queen who gained power through deception and transformed Snow White (Rachel Zegler) into something resembling Cinderella. Fortunately for her, she meets Jonathan (Andrew Burnap), an upbeat thief who’s broken into the palace to steal potatoes, and they find themselves running from the Queen (Gal Gadot), who is furious because her mirror told her she's unattractive and wants them eliminated! While it occasionally nods to the Brothers Grimm, there are seven singing dwarves who “work the whole day long,” but even their presence can’t inject much energy into what is otherwise a surprisingly dull attempt at technical artistry that feels like an amateur stage production. The familiar music from Pasek and Paul seems poised to burst into "You Will Be Found" from Dear Evan Hansen, and apart from maybe “Waiting on a Wish,” the soundtrack—like the movie itself—is disappointingly unremarkable because it avoids any sense of danger, leading to a messy ending. Thankfully, Grumpy (Martin Kleppa) seems to be the only performer who is in tune with what the audience is experiencing. If you decide to see it, going to a cinema is definitely preferable; this would look and feel flat on television and wouldn't really stand out among the other unremarkable recent additions to Disney+.
