11 major changes that the Live-Action remake makes

Snow White gets her name in both the Grimm Fairytale and Disney’s animation film from 1937 from her physical characteristics. Her skin is as white as snow, which is also meant to symbolize the good -hearted innocence of the character. With the casting of Rachel Zegler as the Disney princess, the live action film gives the Snow White background story an update. She gets her name after being born in the night of a ruthless snowstorm. Such as the text of “Wait On A Wish” Go: “My father told me long ago that I defied a bitter storm of snow.” The rest of the Snow White background story follows almost the animation film. The mother of Snow White dies and her father marries the angry queen, who has him and forces Snow White to grow up as a utility room in her kingdom.

With the exception of “Heigh-Ho” and “Whistle While Work” (both receive updated texts), the live promotion “Snow White” Remake contains new songs from “La La Land” and “The Greatest Showman” Duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. These songs include “Waiting on a Wish”, “Princess problems”, “good things grow” and “All is fair”, among other things. One of the most iconic songs of the animation film, “Someday My Prince Come”, has been completely removed, just like “I’m Wishing/One Song”. Both songs are examples of the classic Disney “I Want” number, in which the princess sings about what her heart wants the most desires. In the animation film, Snow White longs for a prince (as she sings: “I wish for those I love”) and it actually is.

The live action film actually contains no prince (see more below), so “one day my prince will come” would not be logical in the story. The “I want” number of Snow White in the new film is “Waiting on a Wish”, in which her hearts desire is to be the daughter who wanted her father to be. She learns in the course of the film that she is already what she wants, which encourages her to take the kingdom back from the angry queen.

Perhaps the most shocking change in the remake is “Snow White” when Dopey talks. The character in the animation film is completely stupid. In the new film, Dopy is expressed by Broadway Star and “No Hard Feeling” actor Andrew Barth Feldman. He speaks after Snow White can unlock his self -confidence. The end of the live action film reveals that it is actually dope that serves as a storyteller.

One of the most iconic images from the ‘Snow White’ from 1937 is that of the princess in her glass box in the forest after taking a bite of the poisonous of the malignant queen. But there is no glass box in the Live-Action remake. Instead, the dwarfs place the body of Snow White on a rock in the forest and put an open tent around around her decorated with dangling flowers.

Prince charming who? The new “Snow White” removes the Prince Personage from the original of 1937 and replaces him by Jonathan, a bandit from the forest played by Andrew Burnap. The prince was hardly in the animation film, while Jonathan has sufficient screen time in the live action film. He meets Snow White in the Kingdom for the first time while he steals potatoes from the angry queen to feed the hungry city dwellers. They later meet in the forest and Snow White helps Jonathan and his group to avoid bandits from the angry queen guards who are looking for the princess. Snow White and Jonathan fall in love, and it is Jonathan who kisses Snow White and awakens her from sleep from death.

Just like in the animation film from 1937, “Whistle While You Work” remains one of the great musical moments in the live action film. However, it has been completely reworked and restored. The song not only contains a mix of traditional texts with completely new verses, but it is also presented as a group number between Snow White and the seven dwarfs while cleaning up their messy house.

In the animation film, “Whistle While You Work” takes place in particular before the dwarfs come home and meet Snow White. The animated princess believes that the house is one of seven orphans, so she works together with her animal lovers to clean the house. The animation film contains a predominantly orchestral ‘whistle while you work’. The live promotion contains many more texts, because Snow White encourages the dwarfs to work together to clean and overcome their stubbornness opposite each other.

The angry queen usually has the same beats in the live action ‘Snow White’ as in the animation film, although she gets her own musical song with ‘All is Fair’. However, the death of the angry queen is very different. In the animation film, the dwarfs return to their house to find Snow White in sleep of death and the angry queen responsible. A chase causes between the dwarfs and the malignant queen who is rightly locked up at the latter on the edge of a cliff. The angry queen tries to roll an expert over the cliff to crush the dwarfs, but the boulder is struck by lightning and ensures that the angry queen falls to her death.

There is no chase in the live action film. The angry queen returns to the kingdom after he has misled Snow White to eat the apple. After Snow White wakes up because of Jonathan’s kiss, she works together with the dwarfs and the bandits to take back the kingdom of her father. By kindness, Snow White convinces the guards of the angry queen to change side. The angry queen asks one last time the magic mirror that is the fairest of all, and the mirror answers that he will be snow white forever. The angry queen has a collapse and, after having beaten the mirror, she displays and is sucked into it.

Another important set piece from the animation film that is completely cut out of the live action film is “Bluddle-durde-UM-Dum (the laundry number of the dwarf)”, a musical number of almost five minutes in which the dwarfs views a bath full of slapstick after Snow White to wash Snow White.

In addition to the dwarfs who no longer bathe, the live action “Snow White” also makes with snow-white cooking and cleaning for the dwarfs while they go to work every day. Snow White makes the dwarf dwage pies famous with their names written on the crust in the animation film. Do not expect cakes in the live action film.

Just like “Whistle while you work”, the iconic “Heigh-Ho” of the dwarfs is greatly expanded from the animated film. The song still takes place when the dwarfs go to and from work in the mines, but it now contains new verses where every dwarf can imagine. The other dwarfs answer humorously every time: “Yes, we know!”

The animated “Snow White” only has Snow White, the malignant queen, the Huntsman and the seven dwarfs. The live action film opens the world of the story enormously by showing the people in the kingdom in both the opening and the closing of musical songs, both of which are a variation on the original song “Good Things Grow”. Unlike the animation film, the remake shows us how the villagers of the Kingdom lived their lives on Stadsplein and how the father of Snow White gave favor among the people by bringing them fruit and baking apple muscles. Snow White collects the people of the Kingdom against the angry queen during the climax of the film.
