Walt Disney studio chiefs might be feeling their own brand of flop sweat, as one indicator after another piles up that that company's $300 million bet on a live-action "Snow White" is going down faster than the Titanic if the iceberg had been armed with torpedoes and antiship missiles.
The Mouse House "won’t be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does" for a big-budget premiere next week, Variety reported Tuesday. Instead of a parade of movie stars and celebrities vying for attention on the red carpet and all the attendant big media names, the "Snow White" premiere will have its coverage "limited to photographers and a house crew."
Stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot will attend the March 15 pre-party and screening at the El Capitan Theatre, but "the scaled-back plans come amid controversies surrounding the Marc Webb-directed film."
I've covered the remake's problems in several columns over the last two years. There were the ridiculous non-dwarves ("Snow White, One Dwarf, and Six Painfully Diverse Magical Creatures") who were later replaced at great expense with CGI dwarves just back from the Uncanny Valley. And the $100 million worth of reshoots the studio required when the Woke BS leaked (and Zegler was forced to do a brief apology tour). Finally, there was a one-year delay in getting the hot mess into theaters (see the preceding items).
After all that, "Snow White" won't even enjoy a typical launch.
The industry rags provide what cover they can for Disney's multimillion-dollar embarrassment.
"Why Is Disney Burying Snow White?" Gizmodo asked with mock ignorance. "Could Disney possibly be hiding to play it safe amid the current political climate in the U.S., with conservatives easily alarmed by anything perceived to be too 'woke'?"

That’s a shame.

..”Give credit to THR, however, for including this juicy tidbit from an exhibition source: “They’ve been going through the motions on ‘Snow White,’ all but saying, ‘We need to get this thing over with.’”
The first problem is that Disney hired a big-mouthed wokester to play Snow White and then failed to keep her on a publicity leash.”..
Wish it was double...
Snow Woke from the mouse house - I hate rodents.
What the heck is a live-action “Snow White”???
Is this a film, or a bunch of people jumping around live on a stage while being filmed? Sounds like total BS from the get go.
A Latina’s playing the role of ‘Snow White’? Why Disney? Are you that offended by white people?
That’s all I needed to know right there.
Didn’t know Snow White was a man hating shrew?
I can’t wait to not watch this.

“...with conservatives easily alarmed by anything perceived to be too ‘woke’?”
I don’t know anyone who is alarmed. Are any of you alarmed? I’m not.

That Zegler dame just had to run her mouth with that woke shyt. A c list actress with a massive ego and the usual condescending attitude towards the same people.
That’s the thing that the magic mirror says is more beautiful than gal gadot. lol.
It gets worse...
Per WDW Pro, Disney is blaming Gal Gadot for the failure. Because Gadot is Jewish.
