Snow White's is one of Disney's WORST Live Action Remakes - and the bizarre soundtrack is a huge reason why! Calxiyn, a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter, has brought Hunter on to help her discuss this forgettable, cringe, soulless music. In this video, we not only react to the ENTIRE Snow White soundtrack completely blind, but we also talk about music theory, plot, characterization, instrumentation, rhythm, rhyme, structure, and word choice. We will also analyze the music from the perspective of the thematic question the movie is asking, and progress, plot and payoff on multiple points. What went so wrong with the Snow White remake? Is the music bad, or is it worse than bad? Who is at fault? Is it Pasek and Paul? Join us in this reaction, review, analysis and discussion of the entire Snow White 2025 soundtrack!

Calxiyn Cares Too Much is a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter who makes video essays about Disney Movies. Inspired by various vocal coach reactions to Snow White 2025 and other Disney songs, Calxiyn analyzes the soundtrack from the perspective of a professional songwriter. Though we will be discussing where the movie fails at addressing certain plot beats, particularly through song, this is not a review of the entire Snow White Remake. This is a Snow White music review. If you have questions like: Why is the music in Snow White so bad, or why Disney songs in general suck lately, this video is for you! Calxiyn has made individual videos about the Snow White songs and the Downfall of the Disney Movie Musical in general that can be found above!
