Snow White failed because it was as just a bad idea…
I watched the movie. The CGI dwarfs didn't bother me as much as I expected, but everything else was executed very poorly. Gadot was fucking terrible in the movie, and the "modernization" efforts just left the story garbled. It was a bad movie, and even my kids thought so.
Yeah.. just like King Kong and Tarzan it is a story that belongs to a bygone era.
Exactly. Snow White is a fairy tale about a jealous tyrant consumed by vanity and fear of her own mortality. But we already got The Substance exploring those topics. And it's a cautionary tale about accepting help and food from strangers showing up at your door, because you never know their motivations. But we got Sinners exploring that topic. And it's a story about how industriousness does not replace cleanliness and organization at home. But that's boring, and we have K-Pop Demon Hunters.
Really, modernizing the movie could have worked. Make a good film and a lot of other problems go away. The real issue is that it was a bad movie. Bad writing and bad acting. That one song was catchy, but the rest of the entire movie was forgettable.
