Disney’s “Snow White” Reimagines a Timeless Tale in Philippine Cinemas Starting March 19

The wait is almost over! Disney’s Snow White, the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of the beloved 1937 animated classic, is set to enchant audiences in the Philippines starting March 19. With a fresh take on the timeless tale, this visually stunning and musically captivating film brings new life to a story that has inspired generations.

A Modern Retelling of Disney’s First Princess
Under the visionary direction of Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man), Disney’s Snow White stays true to the essence of the original film while embracing a bold, contemporary perspective. “It was really important for us to honor the DNA of ‘Snow White.’” He furthers, “The original ‘Snow White’ didn’t break the mold—it created the mold. But there was also an opportunity to retell the mythology in a way that reflects the times we’re in, and I think all good stories evolve over time.”
Taking on the iconic titular role is Rachel Zegler, the critically acclaimed star of West Side Story and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Her portrayal brings depth, courage, and compassion to the beloved character. “Having a female character at the forefront of your story whose entire purpose is to be fearless, fair, brave, and true is unlike anything that I’ve ever seen before, and I am very excited for the next generation of moviegoers to see that,” she shares.

She is joined by Andrew Burnap (WeCrashed, The Inheritance) as Jonathan, an original character created for this adaptation, and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), who steps into the role of the Evil Queen—delivering a mesmerizing performance as one of Disney’s most legendary villains.
A Breathtaking Musical Experience
Music has always been at the heart of Snow White, and this adaptation continues that tradition with Oscar- and Tony-winning composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hansen) bringing the soundtrack to life. Featuring Rachel Zegler’s powerful vocals—honed from her early days as a YouTube singer—the film’s musical lineup includes both beloved classics and brand-new songs.
One of the most anticipated additions is Waiting on a Wish, a beautifully crafted original song that perfectly captures Snow White’s hopes and dreams. Now available on Spotify and YouTube, this enchanting track offers a glimpse into the film’s musical magic.
