Remember when Disney was telling a story that lifted your mind and pointed to something bigger than you? A good, malicious story of evil, hope, love, and red.
Somewhere along the way, they drifted away. Instead of honoring those timeless truths, they replaced them with confusing messages to the audience, making them wonder what happened to the magic.
Snow White's latest take reflects a culture that is trying to rewrite the truth itself, not just a creative misstep. But here's the good news. Like all silly digal, Disney can return to faith, family, virtue if it returns to the values that built it in the first place.
The “Snow White” actor says he is “disappointed with the world” over the downgraded premiere of Snow White's remake
Like many of you, I grew up in Disney. And like many of you, I was admired how the company pushed artistic boundaries and brought magic to everyone who visited the park and enjoyed the animation. The company has a history of breaking barriers. After all, it gave us the first full-length animated feature film ever made: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
In 1937, critics laughed at Walt Disney. They called the film “Disney's stupidity.” But Walt had a vision. He saw Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs about what it was: a story about a good victory about evil, beauty, love, sacrifice, and red. The film has a global sense and launched the Disney Empire.
The creators of the 2025 film have completely rewritten the story. The film's lead actress, Rachel Zegler, called the original film “very dated” and dismissed the love story as “strange.” She went on to say, “There's a big focus on the guy who literally sneaks her up and her love story. So we didn't do that this time.”
According to Zegler, Snow White's biggest problem is the timeless fairy tale story that has been going on for centuries, and it contains romance. She missed the film's point along with other creatives involved in the production.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves were stories about goodwill towards evil. Innocence endures evil, beauty, ugly, and defeats love over hatred. The evil Queen's obsession with power and beauty leads to her downfall. He seems to be a certain fall angel read in the Bible, which eventually became known as Satan.
The evil Queen poisons Snow White and places the Princess in a deep, deathly sleep. It may connect the dots between a poisonous apple and another famous forbidden fruit. But what happens to Snow White? She is awake. She is recovered by a long-awaited prince.
This is not about men needing to save men. This is not a fairy tale about a prince and a princess. It's a story of hope. It is to wait for the day when evil wins evil, when the curse is broken, and the day life recovers. And if you are a follower of Jesus, you already know if I will go with this. Because one day our prince will come too. And he raises us from death to life.
But in a new revisionist film? Forget it all. Instead of dreaming of true love, Snow White is a “fearless leader,” but it is unclear what she will lead. Zegler refused to sing the song “One day my prince will come.” Instead, the film creator gave her a new song: “Waiting on a Wish” – a song about empowerment and self-sufficiency. Depending on who we trust, those who are waiting for true love, we are sticking to hope… Obviously these are “very outdated” and “strange” messages weaving in through family-friendly films.
Walt Disney once said: “The important thing is family. If we can keep our families together, that's the backbone of our entire business and we're dealing with our families. That's what we want.”
He knew that people wanted not only entertainment, but meaning. They want a story that brings excitement and hope. Once upon a time, Disneyland's original plans included a church on Main Street.
Is there any hope for Disney? perhaps.
For the first time in 20 years, Disney has publicly introduced Christian characters in the new animated series victory or Disney+'s Lose. Her name is Laurie, and in one scene she prays: “Dear Heavenly Father, give me strength. I have faith, but doubts can creep up.”

As a lifelong Disney fan, I have hope. If the company wants to regain the magic that made it great, it needs to go back to the founder's roots.
It's exactly what made it a Disney intentional return to faith, family and virtue. As Walt Disney himself once said, “I personally appreciate that in recent times of world tensions, when men's faith is being tested more than ever, my parents have taught me that they have had strong personal beliefs and dependence on the power of prayer for God's inspiration.

Disney movies can influence and influence global audiences. It is important that their message is good, that promotes virtue, celebrates families, and encourages us to once again hope.
I pray Disney will return to that magic.
