<p id=”par-1_36″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/disney/”>Disney</a>‘s new <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/snow-white-remake-disneys-controversial.html/”>live-action remake of <em>Snow White</em></a> has stirred up plenty of excitement, but it’s also missing one of the most beloved parts of the original film. That’s a musical mistake. It’s also a plot catastrophe.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-snow-white-remake-is-missing-a-gorgeous-ballad”>The ‘Snow White’ remake is missing a gorgeous ballad</h2>
<p id=”par-2_64″>In the 1937 animated <em>Snow White</em>, the song “Someday My Prince Will Come” was more than just a catchy tune. It symbolized Snow White’s dreams, her sweetness, and the magic of the fairy-tale world she lived in. However, in the new live-action version, this iconic song is only used as part of the score. That’s simply not enough to capture its weight and meaning.</p>
<p id=”par-3_88″>In the original <em>Snow White</em>, the song is sung by Snow White herself. It’s a touching moment where she expresses her hopes for the future. Through the lyrics, we feel her longing for love and a better life. The song also represents the innocence of her character. She dreams of her prince as someone who will rescue her from her troubles. This moment is a key part of her journey, and it connects deeply with audiences. It’s not just a song; it’s a window into Snow White’s heart.</p>
<p id=”par-4_91″><a href=”https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a64238599/snow-white-2025-soundtrack-songs/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Digital Spy</a> reports that, in the new live-action version, this song has been reduced to a wordless background score. Instead of being an emotional centerpiece of the film, it fades into the background, losing its impact. The filmmakers decided to change Snow White’s character to make her more independent, which many applaud. However, in doing so, they lost the connection Snow White had to the song and what it represented in the original film. By removing the song from its original role, the movie loses a part of Snow White’s soul.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-new-snow-white-is-missing-the-emotional-of-the-original”>The new ‘Snow White’ is missing the emotional of the original</h2>
<p id=”par-5_78″>The absence of “Someday My Prince Will Come” is especially noticeable when considering how important music is in Disney films. Many classic Disney songs, such as “A Whole New World” from <em>Aladdin</em> or <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/madonnas-frozen-better-let-it-go.html/”>“Let It Go” from <em>Frozen</em></a>, became huge parts of their respective films. These songs helped define the characters and their stories. They made the characters’ emotions tangible and relatable. In contrast, the new <em>Snow White</em> fails to create the same emotional depth with its music.</p>
<p id=”par-6_43″>It’s also important to note that the song is iconic. For generations of viewers, it’s been a signature part of Snow White’s story. Fans of the original film remember singing along to the tune and feeling connected to Snow White’s hopes and dreams.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-removing-1-song-changes-the-tone-of-the-movie”>Removing 1 song changes the tone of the movie</h2>
<p id=”par-7_77″>Moreover, the song’s absence changes the overall tone of the movie. The new Snow White is portrayed as more modern and independent, which some may find empowering. However, the original film’s emphasis on hope and innocence is missing. The song helped remind audiences that even in difficult times, dreams of love and a better future could still come true. By removing this, the film loses some of the warmth and magic that made the original so beloved.</p>
<p id=”par-8_26″>In conclusion, while the new <em>Snow White</em> has many fresh updates, it’s clear that the loss of “Someday My Prince Will Come” is a missed opportunity.</p>
