Grumpy, Dopey and Woke — Disney’s Snow White disaster
New York Post ^ | March 13, 2025 | Douglas Murray

This week saw one of the strangest movie promotional events ever. Skipping all the major cities, Disney decided to throw a premiere event for 100 people at a remote castle in Segovia, Spain. The main aim of Disney seems to have been to get the star of their movie — 23-year old Rachel Zegler — as far away from the public as possible.

SPIN

In an interview, Zegler announced that the much-loved animated classic was “extremely dated.” As a film made in 1937 might well be. But it was the presumption of what she said next that set alarm bells ringing. “[Snow White’s] not going to be saved by the prince” Zegler told the cameras. “She’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.”

SNIP

Because “strong woman” is one of the boxes that almost every Hollywood film in recent years has checked. It does not even do to simply show a woman as the equal of a man. No — a truly preachy flop-eroo (like Amazon’s “Rings of Power”) must have strong women able to effortlessly overwhelm hordes of helpless armor-clad males. It doesn’t make any sense. But it’s not meant to. It’s simply meant to be good for us. Like eating our greens.

Disney does not know they are supposed to stop digging?

The latest feminazi “strong woman” anthem........
one of the boxes Hollywood filmakers obsessively check.

They cant simply show a woman as the equal of a man.

No — a truly preachy flopola film must have “strong women”
able to effortlessly overwhelm hordes of armor-clad males.

It’s overbearing Hollywood’s way of teaching us to eat our greens.

That's the ugliest Snow White I've ever seen. Mestizo Brown.

Disney’s premiere event for a “crowd” of 100 at a remote castle in Segovia, Spain is planned for its woke reboot of the beloved classic Snow White.

The aim of Disney seems to be to get the star of the movie — 23-year old big mouth Rachel Zegler — as far away from the public as possible.

In a killer interview, latina Zegler morphed into a raving feminazi, depicting the genial prince as a sexually aggressive stalker.

She balefully announced that the much-loved animated classic was “extremely dated” and that her Snow White’s not going to be saved by the prince.

Zegler told filmgoers, “She’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.”

Exactly. Snow White should be gorgeous and not a “Plain Jane”. This movie is going to bomb big time!

And the story doesn’t even cover when Peter Dinklage stood in front of that same magic mirror, asked “mirror, mirror, on the wall who’s the shortest of them all?” and saw the dwarves from the movie. He immediately protested actors like him having paying jobs and Disney replaced them with CGI dwarves.

IF the Prince had know ahead of time he would have sent shrek and his faithful steed(hahaha) to round her up, drop her in a mud bank and found himself a PRETTY princess with a great attitude.

Word is that the Zergler woman was uncooperative with males (white) on the set and refused to accede to any direction by male producers to do anything she deemed inappropriate or an attempt to “sexualize” the fantasy character.

I predict this film will be largely ignored and likely only seen by a handful of lesbians in San Fran, New York and Hollywood

Bob Iger has a whole department filled with flunkies who do the digging for him.

The best actors in Hollywood are upstairs, behind the big desks.

“Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself may never know peace.”

The good news: This shows how stupid people in Hollywood can be. The bad news: This shows how stupid people in Hollywood can be. Hollywood needs to learn that their opinion on politics makes no difference, but it can, and will, have a huge impact on the bottom line and, hence, her future. Her 15 minutes just got snuffed.

She is Mulatto. My wife is Mestizo. My wife will fight you to the death over something like that. Don’t ask me why. And please don’t drag me into that crap.

Zegler reportedly refused to do anything “she deemed”
inappropriate...such as attempts to “sexualize” her character.


That musta gave Hollywood molto agita since
they’ll sexualize anything, even a ham sandwich.

When the Snow White full length cartoon came out in 1937, a new movie's competition was other new movies.

Today a new movie's competition is every movie ever made.
