Welcome back to Sparrows UnderReview! In this week’s episode, Stacey and JR take a bite out of Disney’s bold new take on a classic fairytale — Snow White (2025). From castles and curses to controversy and casting, we’re diving into everything this movie tried to do… and what it maybe should’ve left in the vault.

🍎 Inside the Magic Mirror:

• Stacey’s Take: Is this a fairytale glow-up or a cinematic identity crisis? Snow White trades in dwarfs for magical creatures, and Stacey is not holding back.

• JR’s Perspective: He breaks down the themes of rebellion, legacy, and empowerment—and whether the film sticks its landing or slips on its own apple.

• The Evil Queen Glow-Up: Gal Gadot in full villain mode? We discuss whether she cast a stronger spell than the plot itself.

• Soundtrack Vibes: Pasek & Paul bring in the musical magic—Stacey hums along, JR critiques the lyric-to-plot ratio.

• Sparrow Ratings: Just how many sparrows does this high-budget fairy tale earn after all the hype?

🪞 Bonus Chat:

• The CGI forest and creature designs: enchantment or eyesore?

• Rachel Zegler’s Snow White—fresh take or too modern?

• Controversies, marketing missteps, and what this film means for the future of Disney remakes
