Disney’s live-action remakes have been a bit of a mixed bag lately—some sparkling like the perfect fairy tale, others stumbling harder than Cinderella's glass slipper. With movies like The Lion King and Aladdin raking in the big bucks, it seemed like Disney was on a roll. But Snow White? Not so much. With the latest remake crashing and burning at the box office, it is clear that not every fairy tale is destined for a live-action makeover. And well, the plot just got thicker!
Owing to the catastrophic fall of their umpteenth live-action movie, Disney may finally be ready to take the hint, as according to The Hollywood Reporter, it has hit the pause on its live-action Tangled movie, with speculations rising that it will be putting an end to its live-action mania as a whole. While the numbers must have been truly bad for Disney to finally reflect, the aftereffects of the Snow White live-action movie could not be any more surprising, as fans praise Rachel Zegler. Not for her performance, but for her sacrifice.
