Snow White and the Six Average Joes? Disney’s new ‘PC’ characters destroyed on Twitter

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:

I’m guessing this is a porn film and Snow White does all of them?

All I see is...a bunch of freaky weirdos who had rotten childhoods and somehow ended up in Hollywood.

“I see nothing wrong with casting a Latina as Snow White.”
So, then you’d be ok with casting a European white person to play T’Challa in the next Black Panther movie?

"Disney makes sh*t"
Born in the early 1930s, I enjoyed Disney's original "Snow White." Only later, reading the Brother Grimms Fairy Tales, I realized Disney had change the ending somewhat, probably the better for a child audience.

Yes, I know, I’ve seen that movie; however, what I was talking about is the fact that there are at least 2 different versions of/a CINDERELLAESQUE story, from two different cultures, which have the lead character a boy and not a girl. And no, he doesn’t marry a prince at the end.

Every single movie ( animated or not ), that Disney has EVER made/adapted from children's books, from the beginning, they have changed and RUINED!
No, NOT "for the better for a child", because even in modern times, life can sometimes be unpleasant to brutal and nasty. Children need to learn how to cope with life as it is, not in a cleaned up version of it! Otherwise, we wind up with a bunch of STUPID SNOWFLAKES, who demand a "trophy" for just showing up, get "triggered" by a word, need "safe spaces" in which , AS YOUNG ADULTS, they finger-paint and/or play with PLAYDOUGH.

You do know that Snow White and her Prince torture the evil stepmother to death at the end of the Grimm's version.

Of course and I LOVED that, as a child and still do!
Also LOVE the stepsisters cutting off buts of a foot to cram their BIG foot into the "glass" ( which was a mistranslation from the French version, which said that the slipper was made of FUR! ), slipper.
