DISNEY NIGHTMARE: ‘Snow White’ Trailer Suffers Worst Ratio in YouTube History | Rachel Zegler Controversy Explodes

Disney’s highly anticipated live-action Snow White remake has just set a record—but not in a good way. The latest trailer for the film, starring Rachel Zegler, has received the worst like-to-dislike ratio in YouTube history, further solidifying its place as one of the most controversial projects the company has ever produced. Fans and critics alike have slammed the remake for its drastic departure from the beloved 1937 classic, marking yet another major PR disaster for Disney.

Disney’s Legacy and the Fall of ‘Snow White’

For decades, Walt Disney Studios was synonymous with innovation and timeless storytelling. The original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was the highest-grossing animated film of its time, adjusting for inflation, and even won an honorary Academy Award—a full-sized Oscar alongside seven miniature statuettes, a tribute to its dwarven characters.

The film’s success was the foundation of Disney’s empire, proving that animation could be a dominant force in cinema. But nearly 90 years later, the studio’s attempt to remake this classic has sparked outrage instead of nostalgia.

Rachel Zegler’s Controversial Take on ‘Snow White’

One of the biggest sources of backlash has been lead actress Rachel Zegler’s repeated criticism of the original film. In a now-infamous interview, Zegler dismissed the 1937 classic, saying:

“There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Yeah, weird, weird, weird. So, we didn’t do that this time.”

She further mocked Walt Disney’s legacy, despite the fact that her paycheck comes from his company. Fans have taken issue with her disrespectful attitude, arguing that someone who openly dislikes the original film should not be leading its remake.

Worst Ratio in YouTube History: The Audience Revolts

The original trailer for Snow White was already a disaster, garnering 12 million dislikes, making it the most disliked trailer in YouTube history. The backlash was so intense that Disney attempted to quietly remove the dislike counter—but the internet never forgets.

The latest sneak peek has fared even worse, receiving over 118,000 dislikes in just two days, with a like-to-dislike ratio of 20:1. It’s clear that audiences are rejecting this film outright.

One YouTube commenter summed it up:

“Not sure what I think about the live-action Snow White, but 160,000 dislikes? This film is going straight to hell in a rocket-powered handbasket.”

Disney’s Desperate Attempt to Salvage the Film

Realizing the PR disaster unfolding before them, Disney has been desperately trying to tie the remake to the original classic in its latest marketing push. The new trailer features the original Disney production slate, attempting to evoke nostalgia for the 1937 version. But fans aren’t buying it.

Many have also criticized the strange CGI-heavy look of the film, calling it “AI slop” and comparing it to a cheap video game cutscene rather than a high-budget Hollywood film.

The ‘Dwarves’ Controversy: Another Misstep

Disney’s decision to reimagine the Seven Dwarfs has only added fuel to the fire. Instead of hiring actual dwarf actors, the studio opted for a mix of CGI and full-sized actors, leading to criticism from within the industry.

Peter Dinklage, a well-known actor with dwarfism, publicly criticized the concept, while others pointed out that Disney’s approach pleased no one—removing representation for little people while also producing a strange, uncanny CGI mess.

Adding insult to injury, leaked footage reveals that the film completely flips the dynamic of the original story. Instead of Snow White being cared for by the dwarves, she teaches them how to work for her, leading to further accusations of “woke rewriting” that disregards the classic film’s themes.

Disney’s Never-Ending Downfall?

The Snow White disaster is just the latest in a long list of failures for Disney in recent years. The studio’s recent Marvel films have flopped, including Captain America: Brave New World, which received the worst audience score in MCU history.

Additionally, Disney has been quietly removing “woke” content and axing diversity initiatives, likely in response to continued financial losses. However, as one critic noted:

“You can’t just patch over a broken pipeline. Disney has years’ worth of garbage films still in production that they need to flush out.”

Final Verdict: Will ‘Snow White’ Bomb?

All signs point to Snow White becoming one of Disney’s biggest failures to date. With one of the worst YouTube ratios ever, an openly disliked lead actress, and massive backlash against its changes, audiences are rejecting the film before it even hits theaters.

Many fans have vowed not to buy a ticket, despite their curiosity about how bad it will be. As one critic put it:

“It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion—you almost want to see just how bad it gets. But I won’t give Disney my money.”

Boycott Incoming?

With Disney struggling to recover from a string of box office flops, Snow White might just be the film that forces the company to rethink its strategy. Whether that means returning to faithful adaptations or abandoning live-action remakes entirely remains to be seen.

One thing is certain—this is NOT the fairy tale ending Disney was hoping for.
