It’s a consistent pattern in our world that when a cherished Disney animated movie transforms into a criticized live-action adaptation, it often brings new information or details. For instance, films like ‘Maleficent’, ‘Cruella’, and even ‘Beauty and the Beast’ have given us more insights about the villains, while movies such as ‘Dumbo’ and ‘The Nutcracker and the Four Realms’ delve into STEM fields. This weekend’s release of ‘Snow White’ has made this trend particularly noticeable, given the controversies surrounding stars Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler. The new version also includes several unnecessary details that make its interpretation more challenging than the original timeless tale.
Where is this supposed to be set?
As I ponder over this tale, it’s not explicitly stated where “Snow White” is set geographically, but she mentions conflicts happening “in the south.” Now, I find myself wondering, “The south of what realm?” Additionally, there’s a place called the “Western Vale,” which interestingly enough, is also a region in the game “Guild Wars 2.” However, I can’t help but think it’s just a coincidence.
Wait, what are they at war over?
No clue. It’s about an evil queen and dwarves, not military strategy.
How does the government in Snow White function?
In this tale, we have a traditional monarchy where Snow White’s (Rachel Zegler) biological parents reigned until they unfortunately passed away prematurely. During their absence, Snow White’s stepmother (Gal Gadot) claimed the throne.
What is the economy based on?
In the reign of Snow White’s parents, life appeared to resemble a prosperous agricultural haven, a vaguely medieval realm where people frequently partook in fruits, pastries, or both. However, it’s unclear whether they had an established trading network.
What happened when the Evil Queen took over?
The Wicked Queen values beauty and jewels over pie. She compelled several farmers to serve as guards or soldiers in her army, putting their farms at risk. This decision seems odd given the circumstances, as the kingdom’s inhabitants were already starving when the story began due to neglect of agriculture.
So the prince comes from another kingdom to rescue Snow White?
In this instance, the prince isn’t your typical royal figure. Instead, he goes by the name Jonathan (Andrew Burnap), resembling the head of a local Democratic Socialists of America chapter living in the woods, staunchly dedicated to the true monarch of whatever realm this story unfolds within.
Wait, so the prince is a pro-monarchist bandit?
Indeed, it appears there’s a fondness for the ancient line of rulers who emphasized resource distribution, despite the fact that monarchy and systems like communism or socialism don’t typically align. The wicked queen, on the other hand, is undeniably selfish in her accumulation of resources.
The dwarves.
What about them?
Are they still mining jewels?
Yup, that’s the same.
So the Evil Queen who is obsessed with jewels is trading with the dwarves?
It isn’t apparent where the Evil Queen’s precious stones and ornaments originate, or for that matter, where the dwarves have been extracting their minerals. Interestingly, the dwarves inform Snow White that it has been centuries since they last encountered a human.
Don’t the bandits live in the woods?
Yeah.
So the bandits and dwarves, who all live in the woods, never interacted before now?
Maybe the woods are really big.
And the dwarves … they’re brothers?
It appears that these individuals, who seem to be long-time adversaries, reside under one roof. When creating a cartoon eighty-seven years ago, it wasn’t necessary to elaborate on the circumstances as to why seven men shared the same house. However, in 2025, this seemingly straightforward arrangement begins to feel somewhat peculiar; one wonders if they are friends, relatives, or something else entirely?
They have magic powers too, right?
Whenever the dwarves descend into the mine to croon “Heigh-Ho,” their palms radiate a fiery red hue, and as they touch the rocks within, the hidden minerals and precious stones illuminate.
What does that do?
No idea.
Does that power come into play during a climactic scene?
No, we never see the dwarves use this power again for the rest of the film.
Sorry — their hands glow?
For some reason!
Just to double back for a second, why does the Evil Queen’s policy shift from a pie-based economy to a gem-based send Snow White’s kingdom into economic depression? Did she make all the farmers and bakers become miners?
It’s uncertain where she’s acquiring all these gems, but what’s clear is that she has a large collection and seems indifferent to other matters. It appears that during her rule, the people in the kingdom have been suffering from famine and neglecting agriculture, which raises questions about her focus on jewels when farming is being ignored.
What happens at the end?
Snow White rightfully takes the throne, and the economy goes back to being pie-based.
Do the pies look good at least?
Weirdly, no … they’re way too big and way too crusty. How do you mess up pie?
