The controversy over Disney's live-action Snow White remake is rumbling on after the trailer set an unwanted record.

Earlier this month, Disney unveiled the first official trailer during its D23 Expo.

The teaser has been out for around three weeks and has so far managed to hit a milestone number of dislikes.

In the trailer, Rachel Zegler - who plays Snow White - can be seen singing the film's well-loved track 'Whistle While You Work' as she dances around with the seven dwarfs - here reimagined as 'magical creatures'.

The trailer ends as Snow White reaches out for the apple - and we all know how that ends, right?

Although some Disney fans are looking forward to the release of the movie next March, it's also received a great deal of criticism, which seems to be reflected in the number of dislikes the trailer has received.

One viewer wrote on X: "Congratulations to the live action Snow White trailer on reaching 1 MILLION DISLIKES!"

Since the movie was announced, it's received a fair bit of bashing online, with some fans taking offense to comments Zegler made about the original 1937 movie.

In an interview with Extra TV, Zegler revealed she wasn't a major fan of the original Disney princess and even dubbed the prince 'a stalker'.

"The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird! So we didn't do that this time," Zegler said.

"We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie.

"All of Andrew [Burnap]'s scenes could get cut, who knows? It's Hollywood, baby!"

She added: "I just mean that it's no longer 1937.

"She's not going to be saved by the prince and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.

"She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true."

Other criticism about the movie stems from the title of the film - Snow White, instead of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Disney explained that it wanted 'to avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film' adding that 'we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community'.

Meanwhile, Katrina Kemp, who is an advocate for Dwarfism and Disability inclusion in the media industry, said the casting was 'a missed opportunity to make a movie with seven little people where they actually have intended characters. There will have been people who gladly would have taken those roles.'

UNILAD has reached out to Disney for comment.
