One trailer to reboot the release of a film. Disney advertising / marketing has been lacking over the last few years. Hopefully a page has been turned.

I'm sitting here thinking the two times "Whistle while you work" is sung it has a modern cadence/bite to it that I'm not a fan of and seems out of place.
The title scene (end of trailer) makes me wonder if they might go for a sort of Wizard of Oz moment? Have the film be dark/melancholy through the beginning and only become awash in color once the forest opens up as friendly to Snow White.

A comment on Bluesky that's stuck with me called it cheap, and I think that's valid no matter what the budget actually is on this. It seems incredibly cramped too, in a way even previous remakes didn't.

I caught this before it was taken down. It bodes well for those who want this to be a safe retread of the original (at least aesthetically). The dwarfs still read as little people, except in the form of CGI caricatures, so I’m not sure what was gained by this approach rather than giving the roles to actual (little) actors.

This is shaping up to be live action Pinocchio all over again, but with more CGI monstrosities.

I was able to see this earlier. It explains the comment about face-acting being very good.

I didn't get to see it, but assumed that any face actor's performance would have been used as a model for the facial expressions of the CGI characters. So agree it explains why the comments were made.

Probably nothing. If you hate remakes, it doesn't matter if it's CG or actors. The people who don't mind the live action remakes I'd think would want, I don't know, live action? I won't see this in a theater but if I had to go, I'd rather it be live action not CG.

They’re probably aiming it more toward the people who are open to seeing it in a theater.

I would think then they'd go the live action route, no? The cartoon looking dwarfs (and animals) make it seem they're trying to aim squarely at the younger kids in my opinion.

It seems they are going the live-action route. But they don’t want to stray so far from the original dwarfs that the story becomes unrecognizable. So a blend makes sense.
I’m very intrigued by this movie; excited to see it.

As we've seen with all the live-action remakes that not everything is actually live action. CGI is used in a lot of them with some a mix of CGI and actual live action, such as Jungle Book which I thought was a good blend.
And I think its aimed at both kids and adults, which is a good broad appeal in my opinion.

And Webb is no Zemeckis and Zegler is no Hanks.

Tom Hanks. You jest, but some here would happily return us to the time of Shakespeare.

Even so, I don’t see Tom Hanks beating out Rachel Zegler for the role.
Hmmmm….Tom Hanks as Snow White…..that could be interesting
