Not since Brandy and Whitney Houston sang a spirited “Impossible - It’s Possible” has a made-for-TV fairytale musical been as winsome as the live-action version of Disney’s Snow White, which will presumably air on ABC this Saturday night.

The live-action remake of the studio’s beloved classic managed to hit every possible cultural land mine on its journey to theaters

In the new story, written by Erin Cressida Wilson and directed by Marc Webb, we are introduced to Snow White as a girl (Emilia Faucher). She’s a princess in a royal family that we’re told is magnanimous, more concerned with being fair to the people of the kingdom than “fair” in the sense of beauty, the obsession of the Evil Queen.
