I have a feeling 13 year-old girls could care less about seeing this movie. I think the age range is 4-8 year olds that love princesses and saw Moana 2.

My nieces are 13 and one of them is interested in seeing this movie, the other isn't interested in movies at all, but she comes along anyway.

Being a child of the 80's, my first exposure to this great classic was through snippets here and there on Disney Channel. Seeing the Queen transform was first witnessed during the villain segment of A Disney Halloween TV special ("Disney's Halloween Treat"). Seeing her hands morph from normal human hands to claw-like definitely stuck with me as a wee little lad. I knew most of the songs, saw other scenes... the yodeling "silly song" dance was part of the Disney Channel Christmas TV special, a.k.a. Jiminy Crickett's Christmas. I felt like I knew this movie despite only seeing little bits here and there.
I also remember seeing this TV special on Disney Channel, which had the cool wicked queen song. (Starts at around 9:35)
Then finally I got to see the full movie once the VHS was released in 1994. While it's not a top 3, 4, 5... of my all-time favorite Disney animated features, I still enjoy it for what it is, and look forward to what's in store for this remake, for better or worse.

I don’t think people expect “more” of her?…she just got herself is an S-Storm and you can’t do that with todays technologyI’m not sure how much more people can expect from a 23-year-old actor.

They wouldn’t have known that at that time…these things take 5 years (if you’re lucky) to come to screen
Which is why I reject the bunk coming from Marvel that they cut their budgets in half miraculously now that their appeal is falling

It’s a cool castle…but they must have gotten lost because it’s supposed to be in Deutschland
The Alcazar of Segovia inspired the castle of 'Snow White'.

No this was a stage show performed at Disneyland, which they filmed for this Disney Channel special. I really wish they had re-used that wicked queen / old hag song for MNSSHP villains show. It was so catchy, yet this show and TV special were the only times it was ever used that I know of.That looks like the Disney singalongs…they had some creepy people and bad dialogue in those

The Alcazar of Segovia inspired the castle of 'Snow White'.
"Discover the mystery revealed: the Alcazar of Segovia in Spain, the inspiration behind Snow White's castle. Join Tour Travel & More on a journey to this real-life fairytale castle."
That article/tour pitch is very weird and sounds like it was written with AI... there's also some interesting buzz on Tripadvisor of that website having claimed awards it never received. Anyways, within the 'article' are the following-
"Today at Tour Travel & More, we’re excited to share news that has thrilled Disney fans all over the world: the iconic Alcazar of Segovia in Spain has been identified as the inspiration behind the famous castle in ‘Snow White’!"
Identified by who?
"The Alcazar of Segovia, with its impressive architecture and majestic location, has been identified as the source of inspiration for Snow White’s castle. This beautiful castle perched atop a hill in the historic city of Segovia has left all Disney fans in awe of its uncanny similarity to the castle we all know and love from the Snow White movie."
Again, identified by who... and why are Disney fans in awe of its 'uncanny similarity'?
"The magic of Disney lies in its ability to take inspiration from real places and cultures and turn it into stories that resonate in the hearts of people of all ages. Discovering that the Alcazar of Segovia was the source of inspiration for Snow White’s castle shows us how reality and imagination can merge to create something truly unique and moving."
Who discovered this?
"It is not surprising that the Alcazar of Segovia was the inspiration for this iconic castle."
Says who?
"This castle, which has recently been crowned as the inspiration behind Snow White’s castle, is a must-see."
Crowned? By who?
"The revelation that Segovia’s Alcazar served as the inspiration for Snow White’s castle in the Disney films is a thrilling reminder of how the magic of real life can inspire the magic of the imagination. This discovery has added a new chapter to the rich history of fairy tales and has made the Alcázar of Segovia an even more special destination for travellers and Disney lovers."
Revelation? Discovery? By who? This article/tour pitch was posted on October 13th, 2024... did we Disney fans miss the announcement? Did Disney post something? Is there ANYTHING from Disney post 2000 that anyone can recall/find about this?
Doing a quick dig into articles from 2000 to 2024... I found these-

While Disney's castles are the stuff of fairy tales, many of these stunning works of art are based on real-life castles.
This article from 2023 claims that "Disney has now substantiated this claim, acknowledging the Alcazar’s influence in the creation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ iconic castle, which premiered in 1937." and that "A survey conducted by The Walt Disney Company reveals that only 14 per cent of Spaniards were aware of the Alcazar of Segovia’s role in inspiring Snow White’s castle, although in Segovia, this figure is probably much higher."The Spanish Inspiration Behind Disney’s First Movie

Disney puts it in their own press release for that event -
"The Alcázar of Segovia, a medieval castle located in the city of Segovia, in Castile and León, Spain, was the inspiration for the castle that appears in the 1937 animated film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”"
I don’t know if this is an act with you, or if you just have your head buried in the sand.

I think she was pretty likable when they cast her, or at worst people were indifferent because they didn’t know who she was, I can’t recall any controversial statements or red flags when she did Westside Story so I don’t think Disney could have possibly foreseen how disliked she’d end up to a lot of people.
I’m sure if they had a Time Machine, and knew then what they know now, they’d go back and cast someone else but how could they have known 5 years ago that casting choice would jeopardize the whole movie?

The DL castle is based after the one in Germany, the Snow White movie castle is based of the one in Spain.

The original Brothers Grimm story its based off of is set in Germany, I think that is what he was trying to say. But yeah Walt and team got inspiration from everywhere not just based on where the story originated.
