This film draws inspiration from Disney’s inaugural animated classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which premiered more than 80 years ago and marked the beginning of the studio’s triumph in the realm of animated cinema.
The original story is rooted in the 1812 German fairy tale penned by the Brothers Grimm. Directed and produced by Marc Webb, the screenplay is crafted by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson. This endeavor is part of Disney’s expanding roster of forthcoming live-action adaptations, which also includes titles such as Hercules, Lilo & Stitch, and Bambi.
