Disney’s classic animated film is reimagined as a live-action musical in Snow White (set for release on March 20). A newly revealed Japan-exclusive poster showcases Snow White, embodying pure kindness like freshly fallen snow, alongside the villainous Queen, who is obsessed with beauty and power. Additionally, a new music trailer for the film’s featured song, Waiting on a Wish, has been released, following the recent debut of the official trailer.

Snow White dreams of restoring her kingdom to a time when people lived happily. However, the kingdom has fallen into darkness under the rule of the evil Queen, who is consumed by her obsession with external beauty and power.

The newly revealed poster captures Snow White holding a bright red apple, with the imposing figure of the Queen looming behind her. The Queen’s hand is enveloped in an eerie green aura, a signature visual motif of Disney villains throughout history. This detail highlights the Queen’s deep-seated jealousy toward Snow White’s true beauty.

Inside the Queen’s flowing cape, glimpses of the kingdom’s past are visible: the grand castle once ruled by Snow White’s father, the small woodland home where she sought refuge, and the seven dwarfs and forest creatures who became her allies. The artwork conveys the Queen’s ominous presence, as if she controls everything within her grasp.

Targeted by the Queen, Snow White finds solace and protection in the mysterious forest with the help of the seven dwarfs and Jonathan, who introduces her to the world beyond the castle. “With kindness toward one another, even miracles can happen.” As despair looms, Snow White joins forces with her newfound friends, proving that her kindness has the power to bring about a miracle.

The song Waiting on a Wish, performed by Snow White, is a classical musical number created by La La Land and The Greatest Showman composers Pasek & Paul. It captures Snow White’s internal struggle—longing for change yet feeling trapped in the Queen’s oppressive rule.

Bringing this heartfelt melody to life is Golden Globe-winning actress Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), whose stunning vocals have captivated audiences worldwide. She delivers the song with an emotional depth that enhances the drama of Snow White’s journey.
