Disney's 'worst movie of all time' is available to watch at home this week

Disney's latest venture into live-action remakes has unfortunately not been the magical success story we're used to. Snow White, set for digital release this Tuesday, 13th May, has been met with grim reviews and dismal box office returns.

Regrettably, this highly anticipated fantasy tale turned out to be more of a nightmare, scraping together just $202.8 million globally on a mammoth budget estimated between $240–270 million, marking it as one of Disney's most notable flops.

The film, which stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, will be up for grabs on platforms like Prime Video, Sky Store, Apple TV, and Google TV, though it won't join the ranks of free streaming offerings or make an appearance on Disney+ for now.

If you're keen to watch, brace yourselves – it'll cost you roughly £19.99 to own or £15.99 to rent what many have decried as one of the decade’s worst films.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes handed it a lacklustre 40 percent, yet moviegoers were kinder, bestowing a 72 percent approval.

Despite once being the lowest-rated movie on IMDb ever, Snow White has certainly stirred up strong feelings across the board, reports .

One particularly dissatisfied Google reviewer didn't mince words: "This film is a disgrace to the original classic-a soulless, uninspired cash grab that lacks charm, heart, or any justification for its existence.

"What a shame. This movie is garbage."

Summarising the general sentiment, a Reddit user remarked: "I'd go with like a 3.5/10. Way too many musical numbers and any not involving Zegler were pretty bad imo.

"That led to not enough dialogue and a really weak plot and character development. The love story was so weak that for a while I was certain they hadn't even introduced the love interest yet.

"Also the costume design was pretty laughable. The dwarves were really the only redeeming quality imo."

Gadot's performance was also singled out by fans as detrimental: "This movie was painfully bad. Gal Gadot made this so unbearable.

"CGI was absolute s***. Don't [even] get me started on the writing and dialogue. The only positive thing about this film was Rachel.

"Great showing from her but everything else no Bueno. Save yourself the trouble and don't see this."

However, not everyone's thumbs were pointing down. In stark contrast, another user argued in favour of the reimagining, saying: "The Snow White remake is everything I hoped for in a modern reimagining.

"It maintains the heart of the original story while expanding it with new storylines and beautiful songs.

"In many ways, it feels like a West End or Broadway adaptation - taking the core material and transforming it with fresh ideas, characters, and a more immersive experience."

As opinions diverge, the question hangs in the air – will you hit play or pass on the Snow White remake when it drops this week?

Snow White is available to rent or buy from Tuesday, 13th May on digital platforms.
