🧚 Story & Characters
This adaptation shifts focus from the traditional "damsel in distress" narrative to portray Snow White as an empowered leader striving to reclaim her kingdom from her tyrannical stepmother. The character of Prince Charming is replaced by Jonathan, a bandit leader who becomes Snow White's ally and love interest. Notably, the Seven Dwarfs are reimagined as "seven magical beings," with Disney avoiding the term "dwarfs" in official materials.
