A live-action version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has been in development since at least 2016, but production didn’t kick off in earnest until 2021. In June of that year, Deadline reported that Rachel Zegler had landed the role of the titular princess, who made her Disney debut in 1937. (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was Disney’s first full-length animated film.)
“People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is — because it needed that,” Zegler, who is of Colombian and Polish descent, told Vanity Fair in October 2022. “It’s an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond ‘Someday My Prince Will Come.’”
Uh, no it doesn't soy boy,Ziegler.
Also if Disney is doing so well, why is their stock price at a low, and it looks like they are going to sell off assets.
Sorry Disney and Ziegler, the "Someday my Transgendered Princess will come" narrative, is not going to work.
It starts with a lie. The live action The Little Mermaid was not a success.
When Snow White no longer has a complexion as white as snow, and the seven dwarves are no longer dwarves…when she no longer wishes for a prince, but wants to lead a rebellion against her stepmother…it is not even remotely the same story and they should stop pretending that it is.
This is an attempt to erase the past. They want the next generation to not even know about the classic story. THIS will be the REAL story of Snow White from now on because they said so.
If diversity is such a strength, why don’t these other cultures have a deep tradition of stories to draw on? Why must they adapt ones that offend them?
Snow White belongs to Disney, they can make her Snow Purple if they wish.
Snow White is part of the culture. The White refers to White skin. The left hates American culture and White skin. Therefore the American left is passionate about transforming Snow White into Snow Brown.
Can’t have kids reading about a beautiful White girl in a country where White is hated and being replaced.
The better question is why would anyone care about it?
why are people upset over this woke bs?
because it’s an effort to erase or supplant the pop culture of the nation.
this goes hand in hand with the destruction of our history.
all part of the ‘death of 1000 cuts’ strategy
She’s “Snow White” do to the quality of the coke she and his companions produce.
She is part Columbian after all!😂😂😂
In the 90s, Disney put out a lot of cheap direct-to-video sequels of its classics. They didn’t help the reputation of Disney, but probably made them some decent money. This is about more than money. They are replacing all the classics - old and recent. It’s an agenda.
“After the success of 2023’s The Little Mermaid, Disney’s next live-action project is a remake of Snow White”
Success? Not even breaking even is a success? Maybe they consider it a success because it wasn’t a complete disaster.
“It makes no sense to me,” Peter Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia, said during a January 2022 interview on Marc Maron‘s “WTF” podcast. “You’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that f–king backward story about seven dwarves living in a cave together. What the f–k are you doing, man?”
The title is “Snow White and the seven Dwarves”, not Snow White and the seven average size guys”. What is Dinklage’s problem with dwarves in movies? Is he saying that calling someone a dwarf is derogatory? He’s played them before and didn’t mind cashing the paychecks. Now he is denying that to others. No more parts for dwarves, munchkins or oompa loompas.
Simple.... Snow white is not Snow beige
I can’t understand where the stockholders with pitch forks are hiding. This management team had the money making machine of rock solid eighty years bankrolled and Star Wars plus all sorts of super hero momentum and they threw it all in the toilet.
This and AB are the worst management (excepting Biden) in the world.
I don’t is anyone is ‘mad’ — most I see are simply laughing and pointing at Disney’s continued tone-deaf failures.
It wasn’t just a cartoon... It was a Germanic fairytale and as such their “diversifying” it is cultural appropriation.
BTTT
Okay, but if yours is a new story, why do you have to steal the same name?
Because the most of us can tell when someone’s pissing down our leg and trying to convince us it’s just rain.
