Snow White Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Mirror, mirror, podcast listeners, thanks for tuning in to Snow White Biography Flash, where fairy tales get the 2025 news cycle treatment so fresh you'd think the seven dwarfs got Wi-Fi. I'm Marcus Ellery, and as always, if you hear sarcasm, that's just my voice trying to digest the headlines, not poisoned apples.

First up, yes, Snow White has been racking up more drama in the last few days than most Hollywood stars. The live-action Snow White film—not so much a box office queen, more the homecoming court kid everyone claps politely for, then immediately forgets. According to Collider, Snow White's global gross is hovering at $205 million, which, for context, is less than what Disney spent on the movie. That’s rougher than waking up to find your fairytale cottage foreclosed.

But the real life dwarfs here are the controversies: Rachel Zegler, our modern Snow White, has mastered the art of dodging questions at LAX, offering TMZ a cool “I feel great, thank you,” and refusing to elaborate on the drama. Disney, sensing the social media storm, axed London’s premiere and shrank the L.A. event—presumably to avoid a scene where guests would clutch their pearls harder than the queen clutches magic mirrors, as reported by the DailyMail. Meanwhile, Martin Klebba, one of the few actual actors to play a dwarf post-reshoots, is apparently not thrilled with how the Mouse House managed the press circus.

The film itself dropped the dwarfs for “politically correct” bandits, leading to a backlash so fierce it dwarfed any forest thunderstorm. Social media spent the week roasting every creative choice, from Rachel Zegler’s critiques of the original (“The prince is a stalker” is a hot take, let’s be real), to the Seven Dwarfs coming back as CGI renderings that look more Pixar than Grimm, according to Collider.

Rotten Tomatoes lists the film holding at 38% with critics, which is just enough optimism to make you question the entire reviewing profession. On IMDb, it’s at 2.1—so I guess the fairest rating was...harsh honesty.

Snow White even bounced onto Disneyland’s main stage last weekend as “Enchanted Wish” stayed open, although, judging by the YouTube comment section, the character’s reputation now needs more than true love’s kiss—it needs a new PR team.

For those tracking biographical milestones, this disaster could put Snow White’s live-action legacy on ice for a generation, making that 1937 animation look like the eternal spring.
