While several stars have played Disney’s animated characters in live action, only a few have had the honor of being crowned a Disney princess. Elle Fanning’s Aurora was the first of the Disney princesses to get the live-action treatment in 2014’s Maleficent.

Like its live-action predecessors, Snow White is unable to take advantage of her changes when other re-interpretations of Grimm's famous fairy tale, like Mirror Mirror or Snow White and the Huntsman, have covered White's growing ascendancy and independence with more assertiveness and courage than what the Disney remake can muster.
