We are well beyond the point where it would be reasonable to expect much from a live action adaptation of a classic piece of Disney animation. Dozens of these glorified cash grabs have been dished out over the last decade and exactly zero of them have been good enough to justify their own creation, let alone build on the original stories. And those were the easy ones; Aladdin, Mulan, The Little Mermaid. These were the slam dunks and each ended up an air ball. Adapting Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came with layers of trouble, given acceptable norms for audiences nearly a century apart. Snow White (2025) tries its very best to update  the dated source material and ends up a disaster anyways.
