David Hand, son of one of the directors of Disney’s 1937 film “Snow White,” is upset about the upcoming live-action remake of the fairy tale, calling Disney’s plans “woke” and “insulting.”
In a new interview, Hand told The Telegraph that his father — also named David Hand — and Disney founder Walt Disney wouldn’t approve of 2024′s “Snow White,” which features Latina actress Rachel Zegler in the lead role.
“I mean, it’s a whole different concept, and I just totally disagree with it, and I know my dad and Walt would also very much disagree with it,” he said, adding that it’s a “disgrace” that Disney is “trying to do something new with something that was such a great success earlier.”
“I’m afraid of what they’re going to do with the early films... their thoughts are just so radical now,” he went on. “They change the stories, they change the thought processes of the characters, they just aren’t the original stories anymore. They’re making up new woke things and I’m just not into any of that. I find it quite frankly a bit insulting. ... There’s no respect for what Disney did and what my dad did... I think Walt and he would be turning in their graves.”
Hand isn’t the only one criticizing the film, even though the public hasn’t seen a single frame from the upcoming film. Conservatives slammed the production for casting Zegler as Snow White and for making the seven dwarves more racially diverse and gender-inclusive.
Zegler has also emphasized that the new “Snow White” — written by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson — won’t be like previous versions of the story.
“It’s no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a Snow White that’s … not gonna be saved by the prince, and she’s not gonna be dreaming about true love,” Zelger told Variety in September 2022. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”
Those comments sparked their own controversy, however. In a video with 1.7 million likes, TikTok user @cosywithangie argued that it’s “not anti-feminist to want to fall in love, to want to get married, to want to stay home — none of these things make you less valuable.”

The upcoming “Snow White” film, directed by Marc Webb, also features Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen and Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman.
Woke? I’m so tired of everyone, talking like low double digit, IQ, ghetto dwellers. There are plenty of actually literate words he could use to criticize Disney.
Snow Mocha and the Seven Starbucks Baristas ... the movie nobody asked for or wanted. And the lead actress is obnoxiously knocking the original classic in public every chance she gets. I hope it bombs hard.
Snot Mocha and the Seven Dorks ... (Not the fantasy anyone wants to watch.)
True, but none more accurate, descriptive, and succinct.
And it was their word initially, used as a brag. So it especially annoys them. You never know, we might get lucky and they could pop a critical vessel!

Best review of Snow White You’ll fall on the floor laughing
Heh ... yeah. Disney has already had several flops in the last year and is set to release several more. Sacrificing the company on the altar of moral superiority. That is, according to their warped moral code. I wonder if Bob Iger’s job will be in jeopardy when losses hit the billion-dollar mark. If they haven’t already.
I especially love that the seven ‘dwarves’ are not played by actual dwarves because someone asked Peter Dinklage’s opinion and he crapped on the idea because it would be ‘reinforcing stereotypes.’ So seven roles were taken away from dwarf or midget actors and given to people in the normal range of height. And so Dinklage effectively closed the door of opportunity behind him for such roles. So this will be another Pyrrhic victory for the wokesters at Disney.
I gotta give Dinklage some credit, though. He also sort of crapped on race-swapping Snow White as well.

‘A Queer League of Their Own’ Canceled as Amazon Flips on Abbreviated Final Season
Amazon is removing A League of Their Own from its scripted lineup. The streamer had ordered a four-episode conclusion to the queer take on Penny Marshall’s beloved 1992 film.
The retail giant and streamer has reversed course and canceled the queer-themed reboot of Penny Marshall’s 1992 film after previously renewing the series for a four-episode second and final season.
Sources say Sony Pictures Television, which produces the show, plans to shop League with the hopes that the series can find a new home for season two.
Scripts for all four episodes of what was planned to be the conclusion of the series were completed before the Writers Guild of America went on strike May 2.
The decision to cancel the series from co-creators/showrunners Will Graham and Abbi Jacobson (who also starred) comes as Hollywood’s first dual strikes since the 1960s has brought production to a standstill.
Graham and Jacobson fought to get the series a second season as Amazon and producers Sony Pictures Television negotiated to lower the show’s licensing fee. Writing and preproduction for the four-episode “limited series” started in the spring and was derailed as writers and performers seek fair wages from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
Reps for Amazon note that the strikes would have delayed the arrival of the series — along with the also unrenewed The Peripheral — to 2025, when the subscription platform already has a heavy roster of originals.
Jacobson, who starred as a married woman who discovers her sexuality, addressed the cancellation in a post on Instagram.
“To blame this cancellation on the strike is bullshit and cowardly,” she wrote before thanking the show’s vocal fan base. “But this post isn’t about all that. About all the ways this show has been put through the ringer. Not today.”
Hopefully, it goes straight to Disney plus, where it bombs hard!
Want On or Off list? Frmail me.
Snow White without a prince ???
Especially since they started started using it themselves. It was not originally an insult.
It was term coined by Karen to display her self perceived moral superiority.
Interview with young actress ditz says snow white was being “stalked” by a prince. The mindless and brainless with a mouth attached
S’not White does Antifa.
Gotta love the Critical Drinker’s takedowns of Woke Hollywood. He’s the best!
