Snow White and the Six Average Joes? Disney’s new ‘PC’ characters destroyed on Twitter
American Wire News ^ | 07/17/2023 | Tom Tillison

Disney seems hellbent on destroying its brand as the entertainment giant moves away from the family-friendly products that made it a trusted household name.

The latest example to support that assertion is a live-action remake of Snow White that features a Hispanic actress playing Snow White and replaces the famous seven dwarves with a diverse cast of “magical creatures,” of which only one is a dwarf. And if that’s not woke enough for you, Prince Charming gets the boot, too.

“Welcome to some of the first images from Disney’s live action remake of Snow White and her DEI Dwarfs. Snow White is played by a Hispanic actress and there’s only one dwarf and 6 full [grown] adults,” tweeted Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk. “Disney says it’s taking the casting of the film in a ‘new direction’ to ‘avoid reinforcing stereotypes.’ Disney has lost $900 million at the box office on recent films, and something tells me that figure is only going to worse. Snow White is set to release in March 2024.”

Snow White will be played by Rachel Zeglar, of Colombian descent — she played Maria in Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of “West Side Story.” She said the story needed “refreshing.”

“People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White… yeah, it is — because it needed that,” Zeglar said, according to the Daily Mail. “Our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond Someday My Prince Will Come.”

The British newspaper reported that the adaptation “will not feature a Prince Charming and will instead focus on a ‘stronger’ Snow White who dreams of becoming a leader.”

Disney announced that ‘magical creatures’ would replace the seven dwarves to ‘avoid reinforcing stereotypes’ after Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage, who has a common form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, is being linked to the “magical creatures” addition after he criticized the “f**king backwards story” last year.

“I was a little taken aback when they [Disney] were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs,” he said on Mark Maron’s WTF podcast. “It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that f**king backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the f**k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”

Former GOP congressional candidate Robby Starbuck was not impressed, tweeting: “Meet the cast of Disney’s new woke Snow White film. Snow White is Columbian now and the 7 dwarves look more like the 6 normal sized hipster pedos and 1 dwarf from Portland. Snow White no longer has ‘skin white as snow’. Absolutely ridiculous.”

He was far from alone in his take on the remake… here’s a quick sampling of other responses to the story from Twitter:

Disney’s live action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves looks like another woke mess. Compare it to the original.

New diverse Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs movie only has 1 dwarf and Snow White is Hispanic. Disney says they want to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes.”

Disney lost $900 million dollars on their last 8 releases.

Guess they’re not done losing $ yet…

>>There are even a few CINDERELLA type stories where the lead character are......BOYS!<<

Jerry Lewis made one called Cinderfella.

This woke stuff of Disney’s just keeps getting sloppily and more idiotic with each project. They really don’t care about quality, and they sure don’t care about children.

I think the author of the piece had it right:

"...Snow White is Columbian now and the 7 dwarves look more like the 6 normal sized hipster pedos and 1 dwarf from Portland..."

This is fantastic! Keep it up Disney!

The more woke absurdities the better. It’s the best way to make everyone hurl and reject this garbage.

Obviously there’s isn’t “too far” for them. This is just plain nuts!

The original Snow White has dark brown hair and brown eyes so casting a latina really isn’t a huge stretch.

I note there’s no mention of who’s been cast as the bad guy. Anyone want to place bets on what their ethnicity will be?

Snow White is probably the pimp...a la Ghislaine Maxwell.

Gal Gadot plays the Evil Queen. Doesn't that ruin the plot of the entire story?

Evil Queen: "Mirror Mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all?"

Mirror: "YOU! Definitely YOU!"

Disney is definitely reinforcing stereotypes about woke casting here.

Well, here’s the problem with that: when you refuse your prince, theres no one around to protect you when a rapacious dirtbag, or a drunken, abusive loser, or even a run of the mill mugger shows up.

And what’s with this ragtag group of misfits? Biased against dwarves? Peter Dinklage is not the only capable actor in Hollywood.

Dinklage threw some kind of twitter-fit about dwarf stereotypes when this re-make was announced last year. So, to make everyone feel good about themselves, Disney slapped together this bunch.

And six little people who could have used the work--especially in a high profile Disney movie--were denied jobs. Thanks, Peter.

Sounds like when Snow White is administered a dose of narcan to overcome being OD’d by the Wicked Stepmother Queen ( a position obtained due to nepotism and white privilege) …..she’ll announce she’s going to Law School and freezing her eggs for someday…when her Prince, Princess or whatever…proposes a co-parenting arrangement.

“Wasn’t Snow White supposed to be the fairest / whitest skin tone of them all? Because some cultures preferred that back then? Some still do today.”

Making Snow White a brown girl is like making Ariel not know how to swim.
