In the 2025 movie "Snow White," the only on-screen death is that of the Evil Queen, played by Gal Gadot. The circumstances of her death revolve around her confrontation with Snow White and her subjects. Enraged by defying her vanity and authority, the Evil Queen breaks the Magic Mirror, which results in her body crumbling to ash. This event occurs when Snow White and the Queen engage in a final confrontation, culminating in the Queen's demise due to her own actions and the magic linked to the mirror.

Additionally, Snow White's parents are part of the backstory. Her mother dies of a sudden illness after Snow White's birth. The father, the king, is rumored to be held captive in a neighboring kingdom, but his actual fate in terms of death is not explicitly confirmed in the available descriptions of the film. However, the narrative suggests he is alive and a central figure in the plot to overthrow the Evil Queen.

The 2025 film "Snow White" stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. Here's the story as it unfolds:

The tale begins with a benevolent queen giving birth to Snow White during a snowstorm. The king and queen name their daughter Snow White in honor of the magical day. Years pass, and the queen dies suddenly of an illness. The king, in haste, remarries before embarking on a military campaign. However, he disappears, leaving the new queen in power. This queen, an enchantress consumed by vanity, usurps the throne and reveals her true nature.

Under the Evil Queen's rule, the kingdom sinks into despair. Citizens are either left destitute or conscripted into the royal guard. Snow White, fearing she will outshine her, is confined to the palace and forced to work as a scullery maid. The Queen consults a Magic Mirror daily, asking who is "the fairest one of all." The Mirror consistently affirms the Queen's beauty.

One day, while Snow White is working, she encounters Jonathan, the leader of a band of bandits, raiding the pantry. When he is caught and sentenced to be tied to the palace gates, Snow White frees him. That same day, the Magic Mirror unexpectedly declares Snow White as the fairest. Enraged, the Queen orders the Royal Huntsman to take Snow White into the forest, kill her, and bring back her heart in a jeweled box.

However, the Huntsman, sympathetic to Snow White's plight, warns her of the Queen's intentions and advises her to flee deep into the forest. Snow White escapes into the woods, where she eventually meets Jonathan again. This time, she learns he leads a group of seven bandits loyal to the late king and hostile towards the Evil Queen. Unbeknownst to Jonathan at first, Snow White's identity is revealed, and they begin to form a bond.

As they journey together, they are discovered by the Evil Queen's guards. In a tense confrontation, Jonathan takes an arrow meant for Snow White, showing his growing affection for her. The bandits and Snow White rush him to the Dwarfs' cottage, where Doc successfully heals his wound. The attraction between Snow White and Jonathan becomes apparent to both the bandits and the Dwarfs.

The guards eventually capture Jonathan and bring him to the Queen, who imprisons him in the dungeon alongside the Huntsman. The Queen takes Snow White's necklace and uses magic to transform into an old woman. She then sets out to confront Snow White.

In the final confrontation, Snow White faces the Queen, who has become an old woman to deceive her. Ultimately, the Queen's plan is foiled, and Snow White triumphs. The kingdom is restored to its former glory, and Snow White returns to claim her rightful place as ruler. She marries Jonathan in a grand ceremony, marking a new era for the kingdom. The story concludes with Dopey, revealed as the narrator, recounting how Snow White saved the kingdom.

The 2025 live-action "Snow White" is rated PG by the MPAA for "violence, some peril, thematic elements and brief rude humor," making it generally considered family-friendly, but with some caution for very young or sensitive viewers.

Potentially objectional or upsetting scenes:

• Violence and Peril: There are several action scenes, including choreographed sword and crossbow fights between guards and characters. While the violence is mild and not graphic, there is a brief moment where a man is shot with a crossbow and blood is shown very briefly. The Evil Queen orders people to be killed and locked in a dungeon, which could be intense for sensitive children.
• Thematic Elements: The film touches on themes of loss and grief. For example, there is narration about Snow White's mother dying of illness, which could be emotionally challenging for sensitive viewers.
• Frightening Scenes: There is a sequence where Snow White runs through a spooky forest; this and a few other scary moments (such as the Evil Queen’s actions) may frighten pre-teen or sensitive children.
• Rude Humor: There is some brief name-calling and rudeness, though nothing extreme.
• Potential Emotional Impact: The actions of the Evil Queen—greed, ordering harm, and offering a poisoned apple—might be unsettling for younger audiences.

Summary:
The film is suitable for most families, but parents should be mindful of children who are particularly sensitive to suspense, mild violence, or themes of loss. There are no explicit sexual content, nudity, profanity, or drug/alcohol use.
