Part 2/8:
Star Rachel Zler, cast as Snow White, initially stirred controversy with her outspoken comments about the original Disney animated classic from 1937. She expressed disdain for the traditional portrayal, emphasizing that her version would feature a Snow White who isn’t saved by a prince and who aspires to be a leader rather than focusing on love and romance. Zler stated, "It’s no longer 1937," suggesting her adaptation would present a more modern, feminist, and fearless heroine.
However, her comments seemed to backfire, with many viewers perceiving them as dismissive of the original story's charm. Zler later claimed she loved the classic, but the damage was done, and her initial remarks fueled skepticism among fans.
