On Saturday, Disney premiered its live-action remake of Snow White in Los Angeles. Early reactions after the screening indicate that the film, starring Rachel Zegler as the fairy tale title character and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, is "actually quite successful," according to one viewer, while several praise Zegler, with one critic calling it "impressive" despite the significant online controversy surrounding the title.

Reactions to the premiere typically come from bloggers and influencers and tend to be more positive than official critical reviews, of which Snow White has received suspiciously few so far. However, initial responses after the Los Angeles premiere have been enthusiastic, if also rather surprised.
Rachel Zegler is a true star. Most of the new songs are catchy and beautifully performed, and the visual palette is sumptuous and vibrant. Gal Gadot wore gorgeous gowns.
Snow White premiered in Los Angeles on Saturday, with stars Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler in attendance. Despite rumors that they didn't get along, the two smiled and posed for photos together on the red carpet. Early reviews of the film have also appeared on social media, and if that's any indication, this Disney live-action remake could be a hit.
Early reviews were mostly favorable, with particular attention paid to Rachel Zegler's lead performance. Variety's Katcy Stephens commented, "Rachel Zegler shines like a supernova in #SnowWhite, perfectly embodying the grace and sweetness of the original Disney princess. It's a visual feast with spectacular new musical numbers and, of course, dozens of adorable animated animals." The script wisely gives its heroine new depth through her fervent desire to become the leader her father believed she could be, and a love story as sweet as apple pie.”
Screen Rant’s Ash Crossan praised the actress’s voice. The review said, “Despite the quirky haircut, #SnowWhite is charming. The message hits home, the animals are adorable, and Rachel Zegler and her enchanting voice are stunning. It almost made me cry, and I’ve never cried in my life.”
CrookedMedia’s Matt DeGroot highlighted the negative press the film has received so far, stating, “Despite becoming an object of online criticism, Disney’s Snow White reboot has, overall, been a success. Rachel Zegler is a bona fide star, (most of) the new songs are catchy and beautifully performed, and the visual palette is sumptuous and vibrant.” Gal Gadot wore beautiful dresses.
