Rachel Zegler said her Snow White won't be 'saved by a prince.' Some Disney fans didn't want to hear it

In 1937, Walt Disney’s Snow White sang “Someday, my prince will come.” Rachel Zegler, the actor set to play the role in a live-action remake, noted that her version wouldn’t be waiting for a prince. Her comments touched off a storm of controversy online and show the difficulties Disney faces in remaking classic films for modern audiences while also trying to stay true to its past.

With Wish, has Disney lost its magic touch?

Is there a reason on why Zendaya playing a traditionally white character did not cause a scandal, but Rachel Zegler did? MJ and Snow White are Caucasian rather than mixed-African and Latina.
