Disney’s live-action "Snow White" remake continues to face mixed reviews, as some believe the new movie offers an empowering message, while others contend that it misses the morals and biblical parallels found in the original film.

The "Snow White" movie, which premiered last week, is a remake of the animated version released by Disney in 1937. Fans of the fairy tale and the original movie were already divided about the remake before its release due to remarks by Rachel Zegler, the actress cast to play Snow White.

Zegler faced criticism after she called the prince in the original film a “stalker” in interviews leading up to the film’s premiere. The actress also promised in interviews before the film’s release that the princess in the remake would focus on being a leader instead of finding love, remarks that fans also criticized.

The comments from the movie’s lead actress were just some of the reasons why fans were skeptical of the remake of one of Disney’s most well-known animated movies.

The much-criticized film, which has a 1.8 out 10 rating on IMDb, also garnered reactions from some conservative and Christian leaders.

Here are four Christians' reactions to Disney’s live-action remake of "Snow White."
