Snow White (2025)

Rachel Zegler dazzles as the titular heroine in Snow White, boasting both the acting prowess and mesmerizing vocals to effectively bring the princess to life. She largely carries the film, which proves to be a vibrant, lighthearted, and empowering tale with catchy music and a lovely message for young audiences about the value of kindness and strength. While older audiences may find it a bit unoriginal and the CGI unsettling, it's a light, musical fairy tale adventure, great for family movie nights, and on par with Disney remakes like Maleficent, The Little Mermaid, and Mulan.

The latest Disney Animated classic to be brought into live-action, 2025's Snow White stands above many other entries in the franchise thanks to strong central performances and some clever tweaks. Rachel Zegler delivers a star-worthy performance, Gal Gadot is clearly having fun as the Evil Queen, and the tweaks to the story (such as a completely new approach to the love interest) are entertaining modernization. While the film may never reach the iconic heights of the original, there's enough to enjoy about Snow White to recommend it to families looking for a colorful and enjoyable time.
