Disney’s live-action Snow White starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot has been the subject of many controversies over the last couple of years — but that didn’t bother Drew Barrymore, who promised to take her two daughters to see the movie on opening night.

Barrymore welcomed Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, to The Drew Barrymore Show today, where she told the actress, “We are going opening show, let alone weekend, me and my two daughters.”

The host then praised Gadot for her work on 2020’s Wonder Woman, telling her, “You give me so much strength and I admire you so greatly,” before surprising the audience with two free tickets to see Snow White in IMAX when it hits theaters this weekend.

“Watching you play this Evil Queen — again, we’re gonna go opening show, let alone day,” Barrymore once again told Gadot. “And I’m so excited to see you in this film.”

Disney’s Snow White remake has faced backlash ever since Zegler was cast as the iconic princess, with conservative media personalities like Ben Shapiro questioning why an actress of Colombian decent was cast to play a character whose skin is described in the original film as being “white as snow.”

Zegler came under even more scrutiny when she called out the dated tropes of the original flick.

“The original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. Weird! So we didn’t do that this time,” she told ExtraTV in a 2022 interview. “It’s really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful. Whether or not she finds love along the way is anybody’s guess until [2025].”

“It’s an inner journey that she goes on to find her true self and she meets a lot of people along the way that make the journey really incredible,” Zegler added.

There has also been some discourse over the seven dwarfs. While Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage found the concept politically incorrect, actor Dylan Postl argued against Disney’s decision to use computer-generated dwarfs, noting that those are the kinds of “major roles” that people of his “stature” can be cast in, per Time.

The noise surrounding the film became so loud that Disney decided to par down its typically star-studded red carpet by scaling back the number of journalists and only allowing the two main actresses to take questions from those already employed by the company, per the New York Post.
