Snow White joins a long list of live-action remakes by Disney of their classic animated films, including the previously-released Cinderella in 2015, this year’s The Jungle Book and Pete’s Dragon, plus next year’s Beauty and the Beast, and the upcoming The Lion King, Mulan, Dumbo, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and more.
