“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.
He’s got his, so he’s pulling up the drawbridge.
