  • Guests and their families, which included children from the San Fernando and Malibu chapters of the Boys & Girls Club who were affected by the recent fires in Los Angeles, were treated to a variety of activities, including a forest friends grove with rabbits, professional glamour shots, a fairytale glam station, and opportunities to create your own jeweled crown, pocket mirror, and candy salad.

  • Due to recent controversies surrounding the film, the premiere was a little different than most – forgoing usual media representation along the red carpet for a more subdued affair.

  • Disney Legend Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, was there to interview Zegler for D23.

  • Disney CEO Bob Iger attended the event alongside Alan Bergman, Co-Chairman, Disney Entertainment, and producer Marc Platt.

  • Snow White opens exclusively in theaters next Friday, March 21st, 2025.
