[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The much-watched "Snow White" has finally been decided. According to the Us "Variety" reported on the 22nd, the new generation of actress Rachel Zegler will play the most important princess of Disney. After the announcement of the casting, some fans struggled with Zegler's skin color - the depiction of Snow White in the original "Grimm's Fairy Tales" was "white as snow", but Zegler, who has Colombian and Polish ancestry, has a darker skin color than Snow White in the animation.

Released in 1937, Snow White was Disney's first animated feature film, an important feature in the history of Hollywood cinema and animation, and was considered part of the "National Heritage" by the Library of Congress. Prior to Disney, Hollywood had made several live-action versions of Snow White, with Lily Collins in The Mirror of Snow White and Kristen Stuart in Snow White and the Huntsman all white. Zegler, 20, is a Hollywood newcomer who recently starred in the superhero film "Shazam 2" and Spielberg's remake of "West End Story".

In addition to Snow White, the casting of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" has also caused controversy - the "white-skinned red-haired" Little Mermaid in the Danish fairy tale and animated version is played by black actress Harry Bailey, and the recently exposed set photos have triggered a new wave of netizens to complain, "Is this the Little Mermaid, or pirates of the Caribbean?" Disney, after "Mulan" and "Dragon Quest", deliberately went further with the purpose of promoting "multiculturalism". in Luc
