Snow White has been 'review bombed' by livid fans as the Disney reboot is hit by fresh disaster after it failed to fill cinemas.
The remake of the 1937 classic had a promising start with a budget of more than $270million (£210million) and a star-studded cast, with Rachel Zegler taking the title role.
Yet, Snow White has still managed to plummet in ratings since its release last week on March 21.
From poor ticket sales and empty movie theatres, to accusations of being 'woke', the film has become one of the worst rated Disney movies of all time.
Snow White is currently rated a shocking 1.7 out of ten overall on IMDB with 98,000 reviewers out of 114,000 scoring it just one star.
From UK audiences, the Disney film has a disappointing 1.8 out of ten rating with 7,700 giving it one star.

While US watchers scored it two out of ten, with 28,000 scoring it one out of ten and only 1,400 rating it ten.
In Canada, it received a 1.7 average rating from 3,800 reviewers, and 1.7 in Brazil.
Though India scored the lowest with a 1.1 out of ten score, with just 53 out of 3,500 rating it 10, and 3,300 scoring the film 1 out of ten.
The classic princess tale has certainly not been well received and is now one of the lowest user-rated movies on the website.
On social media, some viewers have called for Disney to 'listen to the audience next time'.
Someone commented on Facebook: 'I hope Disney finally learns from this.'
While another penned: 'I love Disney. When they changed it, it destroys the elements of magic it initially created.'
'The film is terrible but this is clearly a review bomb,' a third wrote.
However, it has received some praise with one watcher adding, 'Anyone who doesn't like it didn't see it! It's an absolute masterpiece. Brilliant, funny, and entertaining. I've seen it three times already!'
While on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a mediocre 42% score on the review site's 'Tomatometer', but a 74% rating on the 'Popcornmeter'.
Other Disney films have been rated considerably better on IMBD, with the 2015 Cinderella reboot scoring 6.9/10.
While Dumbo, which aired in 2019, was rated 6.3 out of ten, and The Little Mermaid from 2023 scored a respectable 7.2 out of ten.

Snow White opened in the US with a worse total than Dumbo, a $46million opening, and was well shy of 'Cinderella', which took $68million in 2015.
Despite the poor reviews, it is still top of the box office for the weekend in the US, according to IMDb, beating Black Bag which accumulated $4.3million and Captain America: Brave New World with $4million.
Traditionalists hit out after the Seven Dwarfs were re-imagined as a group of 'magical creatures' - while comments by Zegler and Gadot ahead of its release have also faced criticism.
The Mail's Brian Viner slammed it as a 'painfully muddle-headed affair'.
'This production has been cursed from the start. Disney's contorted attempts not to offend anyone have somehow managed to offend everyone,' he added.
And cinemas seem to have reflected the overall reception, with one prospective movie-goer sharing on social media how the film sold zero tickets at one point for a prime weekend slot in the US, and just one for another screening.
They posted on X: 'Opening Friday night for Disney's Snow White in Imax. Only ONE person bought tickets for tonight. Yeah, this movie's gonna flop.'
Another image of Saturday night's bookings was posted by the same user who penned: 'And for Saturday night? ZERO. I've never seen a major movie from Disney have this little interest opening weekend. This is hilariously abysmal.'
The post attracted more than 13million views and drew comments from people who observed similar scenes in their cinemas – with one writing: 'I have one better. Dolby Cinema and only a small handful of people.'
It currently has a rating of 44% on Rotten Tomatoes and doesn't seem to be attracting fans like producers had hoped for
However, a former cinema worker provided reasoning for the possible lack of bookings. They wrote: 'I worked at a cinema for many years. You've screenshot for the 10:15pm showing. That's pretty late, and usually has much lower attendance. The busiest time is usually the 7 o'clock hour.'
It comes as another post on X shared a video of Zegler hoping people would 'wait in line' to see movies she stars in.
It was captioned with: 'Prior to Snow White's release, actress Rachel Zegler told her critics that audiences would wait in line to see her. Snow White is the lowest performing Disney movie in decades. No one waited in line to see it.'
Zegler said in the clip: 'I can only hope that despite my flaws and despite my cracks and my breaks - and there are many of them - that at every premiere and everything I do, people will wait in line to see.
The remake has also come under fire due to comments from Zegler and the absence of the iconic song Someday My Prince Will Come.
In a 2022 interview, she said: 'There's a big focus on her love story with the guy who literally stalks her. Weird, weird. So we didn't do that this time.'
There was also backlash about pro-Palestinian comments by Zegler and pro-Israel comments by Israeli actress Gadot.
While efforts to modernise Snow White quickly ran afoul – with actor Peter Dinklage criticising the remake plans in 2022 as 'backward'.

Disney also decided to drop 'And The Seven Dwarfs' from the original's title and chose to animate the dwarfs – while delays and reshoots also ran up costs.
The film has become 'one of the most troubled projects in Disney's 102-year history,' according to The New York Times.
Reviews have been scathing - the Guardian called it 'toe-curlingly terrible' - while others were a bit kinder, with The Washington Post calling it 'surprisingly entertaining'.
'While it's a disappointing opening weekend, we can't write off the film's performance until we see how it holds up in the coming weeks,' said Daniel Loria, senior vice president at the Boxoffice Company.
Maybe don't CGI dwarfs next time. I still can't be...
