Heigh-ho, heigh-ho it's off to the job centre they go — for the seven dwarves have been replaced by 'magical creatures' for Disney's live-action remake of Snow White.
The character of the fictional princess, who will be played by Rachel Zegler in the film, has been pictured for the first time with her new companions who appear to be a mix of genders, ethnicities and heights.
The actress, wearing Snow White's famous yellow and blue dress and a red cape, is trailed by the group who are dressed in brightly coloured clothes and carrying work tools. They were spotted shooting scenes in Bedfordshire on Thursday in pictures obtained exclusively by MailOnline.
The scenes pictured here featured two 'stand-in' extras, who were used to film additional photography.
Disney announced that 'magical creatures' would replace the seven dwarves to 'avoid reinforcing stereotypes' after Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage criticised the 'f****** backwards story' last year.
'I was a little taken aback when they [Disney] were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White, but you're still telling the story of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs,' he told Mark Maron's WTF podcast. 'It makes no sense to me. You're progressive in one way and you're still making that f***ing backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the f*** are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I'm not loud enough.'
Disney bosses also came under fire for giving the titular role Zegler, despite the story being about a traditionally 'fair' German princess. The film - which also stars Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot as the evil stepmother - is set to be released in March 2024.

The Bee stings again!
The film may be merging into Pavement Black.
So he’s saying he just wasn’t loud enough and didn’t create enough histrionics, nd didn’t use the f word enough?
Amazing how some of these people behave.
Where’s the Chinese guy??
“It’s a small world, after all.”
HAHAHA. The dwarves all wear codpieces.
Enserio? An actor who was in Game of Thrones-a fantasy series-is bitching about a fairy tale written for kids a long time ago? Why would anyone pay attention...
It was a good thing they were dwarves, and not regular people, esp. men. It would be much more questionable and risky than people already joke about.
Another movie that I will not regret not seeing.
I used to go to a movie every weekend and see all the movies in the discount theatre. It used to be a day when I would spend 12 hours in a theatre.
Now, it’s been four years since I’ve seen a movie.
Her name must be changed to Sandy Black because climate change and sexism, and hir will be trans
Sexist dwarves! Disney has now really gone off the rails.
Dirt Brown and the Seven Woke People.
It just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
They're not woke at Disney World.
It would be a damn shame if Disney were to go belly up.
Just how many opportunities do dwarf actors have? It appears Disney made sure next to none other than just the one from what Im seeing in the stills. But par for the course there is a huge over representation of a certain minority group.
This has to be a joke.
Is it April Fools Day?
All this needs now is some bad 60s music and drug use.
“Peter Dinklage criticised the ‘f****** backwards story’ last year”
Game of Thrones enriched Peter Dinklage, and he did a fine job IMO. But had he not been cast in that role he would be singing a different tune about the lack of opportunity for little people in the Industry when Disney decided to axe the Dwarf angle. He got his and seems to have a major hand in making sure no other little people got theres.
Even the new female one? Actually, I shouldn’t give them any ideas or assume gender because one probably is “gender fluid”. GAK!
