Part 5/8:
Zegler and other critics have also targeted the 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for its outdated themes, especially the romantic subplot involving the prince who stalks Snow White—a detail that has drawn condemnation. Critics argue that such elements are backward and justify a total overhaul of the story, including race swaps and removing traditional romantic pursuits.
The actress's enthusiasm for "modernizing" Snow White appears rooted in her disdain for the original, with her comments indicating a desire to rewrite or eliminate much of the film’s original narrative emphasis on love and traditional gender roles. This sentiment has fueled accusations that the new version is less about storytelling and more about political and social messaging.
