Despite all the sturm and drang surrounding it, "Snow White" is a fairly stylish and often fun reimagining of the original story. As Disney live action remakes go, I liked it more than "Beauty and the Beast" for sure, but not as much as "Cinderella" or "The Little Mermaid." Take those comparisons as you will.
All these remake suffer from bloat, adding character arcs and more songs often when they're not needed and that's still true here. The original Prince…
