다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study compared and analyzed Disney’s 1973 animation “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and the 2025 live-action film “Snow White” using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. Mainly, the method of reconstructing characters in three dimensions was discussed. The 2025 live-action film “Snow White” mainly realized a transition suitable for modern values in the traditional virtue narrative through the transformation of signifiers (skin color, costumes, props), reconstruction of signifiers (behavioral models, characteristics of status), and re-encryption of mythical meanings (gender, race, values). The character IP reconstruction process shown in “Snow White” shows the symbolic mechanism of classical characters corresponding to the changes of the times and presents an analysis model to understand the reproduction of cultural products in various cultural backgrounds. Finally, this study discussed the limitations of the study. Future follow-up studies will be able to further improve the theoretical framework for the development of the signification system of character IP by expanding the scope of related research in various dimensions such as cross-cultural comparison.
