Disney Reportedly Scraps 'Snow White' Premiere Plans To Avoid More "Anti-Woke Backlash"
Movie Web ^ | 03/07/25 | Adele Ankers-Range

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, there will be nowhere to go for at least one major premiere of Snow White because Disney has reportedly decided against rolling out the red carpet for its controversial adaptation. Fears of "anti-woke backlash" have apparently prompted the studio to reduce its media schedule for the live-action remake, which stars Rachel Zegler as its leading princess. The stripped-back strategy is said to include canceling the usual star-studded shindig that allows movies to have their moment in the spotlight.

Industry insiders told The Daily Mail that there won't be a cinematic celebration for Snow White in the UK ahead of its theatrical release on Mar. 21, 2025, as Disney has opted to keep it low-key by only scheduling a few press events for the upcoming movie. According to the source, "Disney are already anticipating an anti-woke backlash against Snow White and have reduced the media schedule to just a handful of tightly controlled press events. That is why they have taken the highly unusual step not to host a London premiere for the film and are minimizing the amount of press questions that Rachel Zegler gets."

Why not? London is still "woke".

Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Snow Woke has got to go.

There is a chant I can get behind. Seeing this go down in flames worse than the Hindenburg will bring me great joy.

One would hope that like punitive damages in a lawsuit this might teach them a lesson.

like the famous pendulum it has dropped a notch and is starting to swing the other way.

They should burn the film. This movie will be so bad it could mean the end of Disney.

Rachel Zegler pretty much doomed her big-break bazillion-dollar movie by simply opening her mouth. Quite an achievement.

As they used to say in Hollywood, she's "box-office poison."

Coming soon, to a theater near you.....

"Hello, 911 what is your emergency?"

"I would like to report a terrorist threat."

It will. Best to just not release. It. And redo the whole thing with a new script and cast with a story line closer to the original

I have never seen a Disney movie. Unless Cinderella with Lesley Ann Warren was Disney. I did see that.

That’s one plus of being childless, I guess. You never have to see animation if you don’t want to.
