How to Watch Snow White - Showtimes and Streaming Status
Everything we know about Disney's latest live-action remake, including how to find showtimes near you, when it will arrive on Disney+, and how to watch the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Snow White was Disney’s miracle. The 1937 adaptation of the 19th-century Grimm fairy tale became the first animated feature film in America and reigned as the highest-grossing animated film for the next 55 years. Much of the Disney we know and grew up with started with Snow White and the Evil Queen, so it's unsurprising that's where Disney looked for its next live-action remake.
Bringing the fairy tale to life is Rachel Zegler, a musical veteran and star of Steven Spielberg's West Side Story remake, while Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot, takes the role of Evil Queen. IGN's Snow White review describes the movie as "the best Disney live-action remake in a decade (not that that’s a particularly high bar to clear)," that adapts the "broad strokes of the 1937 original, while fleshing out its themes of kindness."
Whether you're a diehard Disney fan, looking for a movie to take the family to, or are just curious about all the controversies, here’s everything you need to know to watch Snow White.

Snow White Streaming Release Date
It should come as no surprise that Disney’s Snow White will eventually stream on Disney+ instead of Netflix. Disney+ subscriptions start at $9.99, though one of the best streaming deals right now includes four months of Disney+ and Hulu for $2.99/month.
In terms of a potential release date, Mufasa comes to Disney+ on March 26, just under three months after it released in theaters, while Moana 2 arrived on the streaming service in just over three months. Assuming the new live action Disney movie follows a similar release schedule, Snow White should be streaming on Disney+ by the end of June.
