Watching the new Snow White teaser trailer, which dropped last week, you'd be forgiven for being a bit confused. The live-action adaptation of the 1937 Disney cartoon still relies heavily on animation to fill out its cast. You'd also be forgiven for being confused by the reasoning.
In the trailer, we see Snow White, played by Rachel Zegler, twirling and making merry with her seven iconic companions, all of whom are portrayed with CGI. For those who've been following along over the course of production, that likely doesn't come as a surprise: Disney announced in early 2022 that the company would take a "different approach" to the septet of characters "to avoid reinforcing stereotypes" about dwarfs.
