Disney delays release of $330M live-action Snow White reboot by a YEAR and dumps diverse dwarfs after star Rachel Zegler sparked fury with woke rant against 1937 original

Disney is delaying the release of its live-action Snow White movie by a year for a major overhaul, after star Rachel Zegler sparked anger with a tirade of woke fury.

Walt Disney announced the delay on Friday. The firm cited the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike as the major reason behind the decision - but cynics point to upcoming reshoots as proof Disney bosses fear they've made a $330 million turkey.

Zegler, who plays the title role, also mired the movie in controversy by alleging the 1937 source material was creepy and vowing to ensure the remake was more progressive.

Disney is just throwing more money down the toilet by doing the reshoots and CGI dwarves replacing the Portland Homeless people. Reshoots did not help the last Indiana Jones movie and will not help this disaster.

Anyone else thinking that Disney now exists to launder money for Deep State...

How much is Rachel Zegler box office poison? I do follow Youtube channels, for example, Nerdrotic, so I am familiar with how spoilt and entitled she is.

Who is the brain that thought casting such an ugly skank to be Snow White was a good idea?

There was a time long ago, when fat, grotesque, unattractive actors were cast at best, in low level supporting roles.

Now, if they have the right skin color, they are given leading roles, regardless of looks and appearance. All in the name of woke diversity, despite how much money the studio loses.

Woke Disney dissed: Snow Woke Remake shows latino Rachel
Zegler With CGI Dwarves; Comes After Major Backlash

Disney's live-action Snow White is facing controversy over its portrayal of the dwarf characters, originally replacing them with "magical creatures" but receiving criticism for lack of representation of actors with dwarfism. The new image reveals that the dwarves in Snow White are now CGI characters, which further diminishes the opportunity for casting actors with dwarfism. Disney seems to be responding to audience feedback and attempting to address the controversy, but the movie's delay suggests that it still has time to make changes and reinvent itself. A new image from Disney’s live-action Snow White shows the first look at the titular princess with the dwarves.

The upcoming Disney live-action remake is a reinterpretation of their 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Snow White is directed by Marc Webb and stars latino Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot. Now, Disney has released the first image for the Snow White remake. The first look shows Zegler’s titular princess surrounded by seven dwarves. The dwarf characters are rendered in CGI and stand and sit around the princess. Check out the image below:

There are the jokes about this Snow Brown lasting five minutes as Gal Gadot as the stepmother asks the mirror on the wall who is the fairest and the mirror answers of course you over Rachel Zegler.

Gal Gadot can be over me anytime ...

As a matter of fantasy only ;-)

She is a fabulous visual effect. IMHO.

What is more astonishing is that corporate leadership around the world (not just Disney, Target, and/or AB InBev) believes it can use its products to dictate to its customers how they should think.

This is a break with business wisdom that has worked since the beginning of time (i.e., the customer knows best).

This kind of arrogance on the part of management demonstrates just how deeply Marxist indoctrination has penetrated our culture.

The idea that management can dictate to customers is similar to the Marxist idea of central planning wherein a handful of bureaucrats plan the lives of the population.

Central planning has always been a failure. It is amazing that otherwise successful business executives don't know this.

BTW, the idea of listening to your customers is a function of "the wisdom of crowds." It's the underlying principle of "democracy" (I guess that's why Marxists don't understand it).

The absolute arrogance of that leering, punk little brat is just mind-blowing.

No one CARES about her politics or what she thinks - but she has crowned herself the knower of all and it is her destiny to tell everyone what and how to think - and how DARE she destroy a movie classic that millions of children grew up with and loved.

It was a sweet cartoon, and as usual, a democrat has completely destroyed something that was funny, loving and cute and is using it to dictate how the rest of the world should live by turning it into a white bashing, woke democrat hog lagoon.

I hope she has to work corners for the rest of her miserable LONG life and is always reminded of the destruction she caused. I hope all the movie studios blackball her for the rest of her pathetic time on earth. And kudos for her putting those the seven ‘woke crackhead looking homeless people’ out of a job.

Stupid, ugly little girl with too many teeth.

Isn’t it funny how democrats and liberals think that if they demonstrate sonething to us or tell us what to do that everyone will fall in line and do it. AND be better off for living like the democrat wants us to live?

We are friends with NO democrats. We have cut every single one out of our lives.

Disney should have gone all in like the ‘The Wiz’ from the 1970s with ‘Snow Whizzle and the Seven Homies’.

Rachel Zegler wants to be a star and has a big mouth so she is headed straight for the porn industry. They are the only ones that can keep her mouth occupied and shut her up at the same time. I bet she will always find something to complain about.

The backlash against Rachel Zegler and Disney will soon have her crying in her decaf mocha latte (w/extra whipped creme).

As an aside, the good thing about all this Marxist indoctrination in Western civilization is that everyone but the Marxists know full-well that Marxism is a stupid idea and will ultimately lead to embarrassment for all those people who pushed it.

Unfortunately, people will die in the process because Marxism always kills people. Usually it kills LOTS of people.

I know. It’s so sad. I’d so hoped to invite her bowling with the gang. /s

Just wait for her & KK’s response to South Parks’ Joining the Panderverse. Fire up the popcorn machine.

If I were Disney CEO, I would re-release the ORIGINAL versions of:

Snow White and the seven dwarves;
Song of the South
Peter Pan
Lady and the Tramp
Pinocchio
Bambi
Pocahontas
Toy Story
...
And of course, Fantasia.
I might edit out those RACIST dinosaurs./sarc

Id have to hire tons of new employees to count all the money that would come rolling in year by year.
