Disney Makes Changes to ‘Snow White’ After Facing Backlash​

Disney is expected to make some major changes to its oldest princess.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) was one of the first major motion films produced by Walt Disney Pictures, and its popularity is still high today. After 85 years, the film is getting a live-action remake, but we shouldn’t expect the plot to be the same.

The beautiful and kindhearted princess Snow White charms every creature in the kingdom except one — her jealous stepmother, the Queen. When the Magic Mirror proclaims Snow White is the fairest one of all, she must flee into the forest, where she befriends the lovable seven dwarfs — Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy and Dopey. But when the Queen tricks Snow White with an enchanted apple, only the magic of true love’s kiss can save her!

Rachel Zegler, who has been cast as Snow White in the remake, shared in a recent interview with Buzzfeed that Disney is looking to make the princess “stronger.”

“There’s not much I can say about it besides the fact that Snow White has constantly been criticized,” Zegler said. “Even though she’s the original Disney princess and we love her so much, [she’s been] criticized for existing solely for a prince, existing solely to be rescued.

“And I think that our director, Marc Webb, and everyone who’s working on this film has really taken her narrative and turned it into something that’s a lot stronger and I’m very, very excited to be able to bring that to life.“

Zegler is currently trending for her starring role in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story (2021), which was just recently released. She will join Gal Gadot (Evil Queen) for the movie that is expected to be released in 2023.

While we can expect some of the same Disney magic to be involved in the film, it seems the character development for Snow White will be much different this time around compared to the original.

If Disney truly wanted #representation, they’d cast an albino. Truly an oppressed minority.

Just like my anime waifus. But without the dangerhair.

Why can't you be in charge of the remake?

Wasn’t Disney the same company that stayed silent even while China was profiting off of Mulan being filmed in front of concentration camps?

Silent? I thought they thanked them in the credits. Was that a lie I can't tell anymore tbh.

Snow White is literally the "fairest of them all", meaning she's the most pretty person alive on the whole planet, it's the whole impetus of the plot. This woman isn't ugly, but she's not pretty either, they really couldn't have found someone else? Did they pick her on purpose to add a sexism spin when the movie bombs & faces criticism?

If they're going the woke route, Hollywood homely but not a HAES/Dove model is a small win at least?

Will the Dwarf's all be men?

Fuck I forgot about the dwarves. It's going to be the first polycule princess isn't it?

The prince will be some soy.

If it's a polycule, he's going to be a cuck.

Thank God, the title implied they were actually editing the original 1937 film to make it more woke.

What the fuck is this? Snow White is literally the "fairest of them all", meaning she's the most pretty person alive on the whole planet, it's the whole impetus of the plot.

Also the whitest person. It's in her name. Just saying.

 

[UselessIdiot]

I don't get doing live remakes of films that work best in animated form. But, then again, I'm not a fan of movies from the 2010s onward.

I see woketardism isn't slowing down anytime soon -- or ever.

 

[neverendingmidi]

Why haven't there been more movies about actually powerful women through history? What about Joan of Arc? It's a story of a female knight leading her people to victory from an incoming threat only to be betrayed by the men & women she saved, it's the perfect movie for the woke-scold agenda.

They'd make Joan a tranny at worst, an annoying enby at best.

It's based on a fairy tale from the 1800's, what the fuck are people expecting from it? If you want strong wahmen or any kind of deep characterization, look elsewhere, not old bedtime stories. Bring back Kim Possible or something

There are stories where the girl is clever and/or kind to earn their way like Mother Holle, but those wouldn't be done either.

 

[CapricornusRex]

Will the Dwarf's all be men?

Doc surely will be a woman of colour.

Dopey is ableist and so will be out. If kept, possible the only straight white male dwarf.

Sneezy will need a face mask.

One will at least be non-binary.

Snow White will surely come in and innovate their entire business with her keen intellect and eye for business.

The Dwarfs shouldn't be minors, they need a greener more sustainable business. Even though they were mining diamonds, mining has connotations with fossil fuels and diamonds are a stereotypical female desired gem.

The prince will be some soy.

Is Dwarf offensive? Maybe they need to do.

And not a single one of them will be played by an actual dwarf.

 

[Synthetic Smug]

Why are they hiring Frida Kahlo?

bitch should be doing GEICO commercials

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

That's another thing I've found to be odd, kindness is almost an obsolete concept in media these days. I think the last movie I saw that really emphasized it was a Mel Gibson movie, ironically.

All real-life successful women (as are men) experience set-backs. Millennials would find it triggering; they want instant gratification.

 

[Flaming Insignias]

“Skin white as snow, lips red as blood, hair black as ebony” really doesn’t fit the mold of a mestizo, does it? The idealized Japanese woman if being generously diverse, but definitely not Frida Kahlo there. And that’s my main problem with this live-action movie: Schneewitten has been brownwashed, and everything else that follows is marred by that decision.

 

[Fomo Hoire]

If Disney truly wanted #representation, they’d cast an albino. Truly an oppressed minority.

I just remembered, black Albinos are a thing. And allegedly horrible things happen to them in Africa, they get kidnapped and eaten and raped because dumbasses think it will cure AIDS. Super oppressed, super minority, and super white. Not the most beautiful, but other than that it hits all the right boxes.

I only say the things allegedly happen because I'm too lazy to even Google which country this shit happens in.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

That woman's smug is so thick that it ruins any chance at her to be pretty.

I hope wolves eat her.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

It'd be worth having civillization collapse just to see how poorly the average "YOU GOGRRL" feminist would fare in the jungle that followed.

It would be funny but also very sad.

If Sweden and Germany are anything to go by when faced by hordes of foreign rapists the women will side with them and blame white men when they get raped.

That and cry and scream that you should have protected them.

Funny thing is, for the majority of them, the only value they would have is domestic labor and what's between their legs.

It would be funnier than hell to see them told "Two ways you get food: Work this fucking loom, or work this fucking dick."

Just the sudden shock as they realize that the only reason they had all that fun with no consequences or responsibility is because they were allowed to.

Unfortunately I see them more going full stockholm syndrome and siding with invaders. These are women who are absolutely infatuated with otherness, who generally consider their own cultures backwards. They're completely delusional and self serving, because even if society falls the women are almost always going to survive, even if it's on their knees.

 

[Marley Rathbone]

Maybe just change the name to "Slush Tan and the 7 Midgets"

 

[RussianBlonde]

Not this shit again. First they decide to ruin Little Mermaid and now Snow White.

Both characters are literally described as super pale Caucasians.

And people are applauding black and Hispanic actresses getting roles in movies based on European folklore. It's laughable because these are basically white hand me downs given to people of color, table scraps.

Woke leftists are pretty dumb people so they think it's great, it never crossed their minds that if Disney really was a diversity champion they'd make a new animation based on African / Caribbean / Latino folklore and give the main role to a black or Hispanic actress.

They won't because it's too much of a risk. There's other reasons too, such as no built in audience from pre-existing fans along with name recognition, but it's also because the same screaming loons that call everything racist make it too risky to adapt stuff from non-white folklore. What's the closest we got, Moana?

 

[Mr. Bung]

These people are fucking delusional. They really think women hundreds of years ago were assmad about men serving and protecting them from a clearly violent world. "Why can't I go out hunting and fighting?! This is repression!"

Or at least that's what they want people to think. You know, the whole socialist/communist playbook rule of erasing history so that no one has access to the knowledge of how things once were so that there is only the state now, and only the state in the future.

Ironic that Snow White is the perfect example of a Germanic Aryan black haired beauty but is being portrayed by what looks like a Hispanic woman. Not surprising in the slightest though.

Snow White is mostly about powerful, jealous women being cut throat evil bitches to each other tbh. I guess you could add an indifferent father since he ignores his new wife abusing and trying to murder his daughter.

The entire premise is a step-mother hiring the huntsman to kill her because Snow White is prettier. At best Snow White salvation is getting married to prince to protect her from the women in her own family and home that literally want her heart torn out and delivered to them.
