It’s a classic fairy tale, people, get over it. I cringe at the new “contains possibly offensive material” warnings. In fact, those warnings offend me. Let’s cancel them! 😂
My grandson has his own tv in his room. He can see it without permission at age 4. Once Walt only wanted family entertainment, now the woke is putting so much hate in everything that was good.
Why does the new Disney have to do a live action remake? Stop trying to change Disney movies and let the new generation love it the way parents and grandparents love it.
She’s more than light-skinned enough to pull off that role. Especially since the designation “Snow White” had literally nothing to do with ethnicity or even country of origin. Anymore than the “Black Land” or Kemet meant that the people their were black.
This reflexive, performative outrage culture is so pervasive in people who claim to be FordToughs and their fixation on race is even more pronounced considering they incessantly yell how everyone But them is obsessed with race lulz
In the original tale, she’s named Snow White because she’s white as snow. If the actor isn’t white as snow, it doesn’t really make sense. I obviously don’t mind them casting people that aren’t white but in this case it literally makes no sense.
Actually in the source material it states why her name is snow white the parents wished for a girl with hair as dark as a raven with skin as pale as the fresh driven snow and lips as red as blood. It was originally a grims fairytale
No she’s an actual human being. Not a pretty picture drawn by in an a studio. Fun fact:Human Beings come in a surprising number of shades. But shade they do not come in is Snow White. All humans have a substance in their body called “melanin” the amount of melanin determines your actual complexion. Technically we aren’t even different colors. Just different shades of the same color. Anyway who cares. You do know this is a fairytale. Snow White isn’t real and never was.funny thing about fictional non-existent characters. THEY DON’T GET OFFENDED. THEY DON’T CARE WHO PORTRAYS THEM. IS YOUR LIFE SO MEANINGLESS THAT YOU WANNA GET WORKED UP OVER HOW SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER EXISTED IS PORTRAYED? Pretty pathetic.
Somethings you just know, but if you insist the new Snow White is Colombian. A simple Google search would have answered your question. But do you really gotta Google it, they race/gender swap everything and call it diversity nowadays. Somethings you just know.
Why are so many conservatives making it about race? Rachel Zegler is an American and a half Polish literal white Latina. Why poison your children’s minds by complaining about this type of thing and black mermaids? Especially since people such as yourself claim to be the true meritocratic-minded antiracists.
It’s not racist when you oppose your culture being appropriated and replaced by an agenda of a different culture. Europe is currently having the same issue with the large influx migrants from middle east. Traditions, culture and history are values just as dear to some as equity and diversity to others. To constantly use racist labels Isa dishonest argument that no longer works.
What the hell is going on. Not everything has to change to make everyone happy. You are crazy . DONT LIKE IT DONT WATCH IT. Replacing the drawfs with creatures. You write the whole article about it being offensive but never say what is offensive. Tired of everything getting changed because somebody gets butt hurt. You also are changing the ethnicity of the main character.
Uh Martha, if you actually read Scott’s comment he’s just asking why the original is marked as offensive. Either you’re a bot or you’re seeing too much red to actually read words
I think I read somewhere that the kissing Snow White,
Without her consent bothers some people. And the portrayal of the dwarves. I actually always thought the dwarfs in Snow White were the fictional ones like in Lord of the Rings and not humans with dwarfism so I’m not sure how offensive that might be???
Wish they would leave this one alone. There is nothing offensive about this movie. It’s a fairy tale story. People need to stop being so sensitive and grow the hell up!
Every culture has their myths, fables, and fairytales that reflect their history. Only in America do European fables have to be colorized to appease every other culture, but yet when myths from these cultures are represented by European ideas it is considered ethnic appropriation. Sorry, can’t have it both ways.
Richard I couldn’t agree more. I’m tired of the wailing and hand wringing when a part is given to someone that’s not an ethnic minority. I didn’t run around complaining about “Hamilton” and they’re misrepresentation of historical figures. Disney has changed too much for me to ever enjoy their movies or parks again. And yes, I know, they won’t miss me. Not yet anyway, it wasn’t that long ago that Disney still had an off season and wasn’t packed year round.
Another race appropriation? Will this company ever stop with their hatred towards White’s? When will White’s ever learn to stay away from this company?
Hard luck! I’ve already bought the original classic. Now you can’t stop my family watching beautiful white princesses, handsome white princes, ugly old women and dwarves. All gender-orientated and there is nothing you can do about it. Whites have their culture too.
I have every confidence that this new version will have everyone dancing and shaking their butt to some odious form of hip hop, where the princess is dressed inappropriately
I’m tired of people deciding whats offensive to all. Who are you to decide for me? I agree, if a movie is offensive to you don’t watch it. Leave the movies we known and have loved for generations alone. My kids grew up watching Disney movies and they are the most loving and accepting people of all people i know. Those movies didn’t teach hate or division, people teach that on their own. I can pick apart any movie or tv show frame by frame and find something offensive about it when it’s taken in parts out of context and not as the whole.
The problem with the original is that the kiss happens without consent. Think, how this movie could be made after Bill Cosby? The original Grimms story didn’t have a non consensual kiss. That was a Disney add.
So I agree the kiss is non-consensual, and it is a Disney add. However, I wouldn’t compare that with Bill Cosby. A small peck on the lips that is supposed to bring her back to life ? Call it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
The image of a live strange man kissing an incapacitated woman says that women do not have the right to choose their own personal space or can have rights to their bodies.
And it isn’t medical. This is sexual/ romantic. It is a powerful image that has lasted through time that teaches boys it is okay to touch girls without asking. Bill Cosby is making a hard stop. I love the original movie, but call out what is flawed. No kissing young girls when they are unable to say yes.
Sally your mentality is disgusting. That scene did NOT make boys think they can touch girls inappropriately and if you think that you’re insane. I’m tired of this crap and tired of people like you twisting every innocent thing into something disgusting and perverse. You trying to project your own twisted mindset onto little boys is sick. Take a good hard look in the mirror and realize that your twisted way of thinking isn’t shared by the majority of the world. DO BETTER SALLY.
Sally…as a woman, I find your comment ridiculous. 1) It was a respectful kiss to someone he thought dead, as a way to say goodbye. 2) Previously, she was so enamored of him and woke up THRILLED to see him, kissed him more and married him. And 3) IT IS JUST A FAIRY TALE! Stop making everything a big deal and about feminist crap, because youre ruining it for everyone else who would be happy just to find real love!! Sheesh…
If Disney wants to change the original why not go a little further and call this by a different name. Don’t say it is Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs when that is not accurate. I remember watching the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights and loved the shows. I never saw anything offensive nor did my parents. Such a shame that it has gotten to this point. I will not be watching any of the new Disney live action or movies.
The person is in a drugged sleep never to awake. She didn’t consent to being drugged either but yet no one seems to have problems with that. She has no ability to consent she can’t wake up and didn’t know it was going to happen. So if a person collapses from a heart attack should everyone stand back and not perform CPR because they unconscious person can’t consent to life saving measures because they were unconscious?
Thank god their not changing the original film just updating it’s quality for viewing. So sick of people trying to get things that have been around for decades changed or erased
Who makes these decisions? The business model is struggling And you guys are trying to make sure you don’t hurt some adults feeing. The primary audience (children) don’t care.
Look, I am black, and I hate wokeism as much a anyone in here. I voted for Trump twice and would again. And I have even more conviction to be conservative than done if you because I’m a Christian. But my goodness, some of you sound Jim Crow racist. They can’t cast a Latina as Snow White? The girl looks the part, plus, Latino is actually Caucasian in “race.” The reason I like reimagining some of these characters is because for more than half a century of entertainment– and that is a low estimate– these classics have been cast with lily whiteness. But poc love them too. Why not allow a more modern reimagining for SOME of these, that reflect our country, the most diverse nation in the world?!? Our ability to bond together across ethnicities is part of what makes us #1. And I’m telling you, the message that excluding poc broadband from these stories is very negative… it says, “you are beneath our friendship. ” some of you don’t mind that message because your life is sadly monochromatic. But some of you are not hateful like that. You have many different friends of different colors. I’m just trying to tell you why folks like this type of thing. Not EVERY SINGLE ONE should be recast. I agree. But when it is, could you just make space for it. The original ain’t Goin nowhere. Again, I’m talking about a solution to broadband monochromatic stuff. If you are not a poc, it might be harder for you to notice. Creating a bunch of segregated new stories is nowhere near appealing nor realistic. Can we share the sandbox. Is that too much to ask.
While I can understand remaking some of the Disney classics to include different races and colors, I can picture several of the Disney princesses played by African Americans, Native Americans, Indians, or Hispanics but I have a very big and hard time seeing Snow White played by an actress of another ethnicity. Why? Because of the description of her at the beginning of the movie and books about the story.
Please tell me how someone of another ethnicity could fulfill the description of skin white as snow, which is part of the reason for her name!
There must be another character(s) in the story that could be played by actors of other ethnicities! Have the dwarves played by a rainbow of actors and it would easily work! Maybe the mean step-mother or even the prince, but Snow White should remain caucasian or you really need to change her name and her description.
Think about why a Latina instead of any other race…
If I was Latina I would be highly insulted! Stereotyping is real if this is what’s going to be done!
I think if Disney keeps wanting to change all the princesses then they need to redo Tiana, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Moana and change these to different ethnicity why just change all the white princesses change them all.
Mulan and Aladdin have already been turned into live action films. I believe they are working on The Princess and the Frog and Pocahontas.
Eventually all of the princess movies will have a live action version.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I just had a great laugh. Oh, by the way, I love the original so I won’t need to watch the socially conscious inclusive remake.
SW and the 7 D has offensive content?! Now I’ve heard everything! No wait I forgot about the non-consensual kiss?!! OMG!!! People it’s a fairy tail. Get a life!!!
The leftist woke mob is totally worthless. THEY are the ones who are offensive. THEY are the ones who should be removed from our society and certainly from Disney!
Just look at how they’ve been wrecking the parks alone. The scene in Pirates of the Caribbean where they used to be auctioning off Brides was A Disneyfied scene because the pirates were auctioning off these fictitious women as brides, which means marriage. Real pirates would have been raping them. So what does the woke crowd demand it be change to? They’re selling chickens now of all things. Chickens! How terribly menacing these Pirates are. Colonel Sanders must be shaking in his boots! For Pete’s sake, these are supposed to be Pirates and they’re supposed to be scary menacing villains, soft toned slightly by Disney. But the woke crowd put a total hole and void in the middle of that show by making these Pirates nothing but chicken thieves.
Now go to Splash Mountain. That again offended the Warped sensibilities of the woke crowd. And it was a movie originally made by Walt himself for the purpose of racial reconciliation because Uncle Remus was presented as nothing less than a saint telling some of the best stories ever told. And what does the woke crowd do? They rip it out thrust something to do with New Orleans in the middle of Frontier land. They put a city in the middle of frontierland when Walt Disney himself did not even want a single Cowboy walking through Tomorrowland because it would ruin the illusion. These people are not only woke, they’re incompetent.
And then you have Snow White. Yes the Dwarfs Mine Train is a fun ride, but I strongly suspect that the real reason why they wanted to get rid of Snow White’s Scary Adventures was because of the imagery the resurrection at the end of the ride. The woke crowd hates anything that would even remotely present the image of Christianity.
If Disney is to be saved, the entire woke management structure of Disney has to be eradicated and replaced with decent people. The woke crowd are not decent people.
Agree with the fairytale, European culture.. all of that. Let it be. I just want to define WOKE.. do any of you know what it even means?
It’s basic regard for human beings, respecting and valuing a person for who they are. That’s it!
Don’t kid yourself, the 60’s the NFL, nba,ECT are 80% white now 80% pic next tv movies and bro a casting will be 80% poc
even tho the colored pop is on 15% in the nation.
Why change anything?? Walt made Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the way he wanted- family friendly, and good! Why change things to fit “their” political agendas? Let sleeping dogs lie!
Let’s not forget the current day dwarves. They are offended. Discriminated as in this movie..as if heritage and ethnicity only belongs to blacks, can’t be offended. Let’s replace them with cross dressers, woman with vaginas on their head…large viking ancestors. Sounds silly right. Keep the movie as is. Changing skin colors and discriminating segments of culture is not the answer. I mean..SNOW WHITE?
Actors that have dwarfism were actually upset that they removed the dwarf’s from this movie, because of one pouplar good actor. They still don’t cast them alot in shows or movies unless the part calls for it and even then they have done movie magic for things like lord of the rings.
Ha, most of the dwarfs will be gay, snow white will be a lesbian transformer and the mother will be a divorced poverty stricken nudge that tried to abort snow (cannot use white) before she was born. The prince will be rich in spirit but a poor immigrant the snuck into the country to escape his drug infested cess pool of a city. Keep shoving money down these fools throats, keep supporting their woke nonsense see where that gets your country
No one is making you go see this movie. Shut up and don’t go. Some of us want to see what Disney does with these classic fairy tales. I don’t care if they change the race or gender of the character. It’s not about who’s in the role. It’s about the story.
Every little kid wants to see a movie with characters who looks like them and their family. Stop being butthurt over them not choosing who you think is inappropriate.
Anyone who seriously has a problem with the original film shouldn’t watch it. Problem solved and everyone’s lives will go on blissfully unaware of one another’s anger and resentments.
Man these comments are angry. There’s a gramtical mistake in the fourth paragraph, “…the company has decided to move forward with updating the moving with new technology…”
Like the rest of the remakes I won’t be buying or watching. It is time for these people who want to remake everything to come up with new and inclusive movies, not change old ones. Disney has made many animated movies having different races as the main characters and I have bought them. I have enjoy watching them with my children. They have been hits! Why the need to change the old ones? Thank goodness I have these original at home.
It’s not the race that bothers us. It’s the ideology behind it. Does Disney not have the capability to write new stuff and use different races? From a perspective of us tired of the woke crap all we see is something we all grew up on being constantly rehashed and now changed because all the left sees us racism. It’s not us that lean right that are endlessly pushing it. We love everyone on this rock in space. Unless you’re evil and want to harm innocent humans. Divided we are becoming by design. Do the folks at Disney not have an imagination to write new princess stories?
Comments for Amid Backlash, Disney Announces Major Change For Original ‘Snow White’
Dan
Another race-swap.
It’s every movie now.
Chris Kinney
It’s a classic fairy tale, people, get over it. I cringe at the new “contains possibly offensive material” warnings. In fact, those warnings offend me. Let’s cancel them! 😂
Bodro
Very offensive. Let it be as it was written. We do not need to have offensive in it. So help us God.
Bosch
Where did u read it was a race swap?
Steve
Why do we let these ” fragile ” jerks influence everything? If something offends you don’t watch it.

My grandson has his own tv in his room. He can see it without permission at age 4. Once Walt only wanted family entertainment, now the woke is putting so much hate in everything that was good.

I am canceling plans to go to Disney World. I won’t go to their woke movies.
So sad.

Google the actress who is set to play Snow White. She’s not so snow white.
Dod
She’s more than light-skinned enough to pull off that role. Especially since the designation “Snow White” had literally nothing to do with ethnicity or even country of origin. Anymore than the “Black Land” or Kemet meant that the people their were black.
This reflexive, performative outrage culture is so pervasive in people who claim to be FordToughs and their fixation on race is even more pronounced considering they incessantly yell how everyone But them is obsessed with race lulz

WILL
No she’s an actual human being. Not a pretty picture drawn by in an a studio. Fun fact:Human Beings come in a surprising number of shades. But shade they do not come in is Snow White. All humans have a substance in their body called “melanin” the amount of melanin determines your actual complexion. Technically we aren’t even different colors. Just different shades of the same color. Anyway who cares. You do know this is a fairytale. Snow White isn’t real and never was.funny thing about fictional non-existent characters. THEY DON’T GET OFFENDED. THEY DON’T CARE WHO PORTRAYS THEM. IS YOUR LIFE SO MEANINGLESS THAT YOU WANNA GET WORKED UP OVER HOW SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER EXISTED IS PORTRAYED? Pretty pathetic.

It’s not really that the characters aren’t real that gets people worked up, I feel that it’s a familiar, good recollection of a storyline.
JoeBryant
Snow White is part Columbian from her grandma who immigrated from Columbia.
But her dad is of Polish descent.
WokerThenWoke
Somethings you just know, but if you insist the new Snow White is Colombian. A simple Google search would have answered your question. But do you really gotta Google it, they race/gender swap everything and call it diversity nowadays. Somethings you just know.

Rachel Zeglar is Hispanic not Caucasian is what I believe they are referring to.
Dod
Why are so many conservatives making it about race? Rachel Zegler is an American and a half Polish literal white Latina. Why poison your children’s minds by complaining about this type of thing and black mermaids? Especially since people such as yourself claim to be the true meritocratic-minded antiracists.
Jose
It’s not racist when you oppose your culture being appropriated and replaced by an agenda of a different culture. Europe is currently having the same issue with the large influx migrants from middle east. Traditions, culture and history are values just as dear to some as equity and diversity to others. To constantly use racist labels Isa dishonest argument that no longer works.
Not a "person who menstruates"
Why are so many liberals like yourself making literally everything about race (and gender, and sexuality)?
Vicki
The original story describes Snow White as having “skin as white as snow, lips as red as a rose, and hair as black as night”! Just saying….
Jeanie
Yes, are we not allowed to be white anymore? How about new stories not remade and forced to fit. It’s like hand me downs for people of color.

While I can understand remaking some of the Disney classics to include different races and colors, I can picture several of the Disney princesses played by African Americans, Native Americans, Indians, or Hispanics but I have a very big and hard time seeing Snow White played by an actress of another ethnicity. Why? Because of the description of her at the beginning of the movie and books about the story.
Please tell me how someone of another ethnicity could fulfill the description of skin white as snow, which is part of the reason for her name!
There must be another character(s) in the story that could be played by actors of other ethnicities! Have the dwarves played by a rainbow of actors and it would easily work! Maybe the mean step-mother or even the prince, but Snow White should remain caucasian or you really need to change her name and her description.

Think about why a Latina instead of any other race…

Real pirates would have been raping them. So what does the woke crowd demand it be change to? They’re selling chickens now of all things. Chickens! How terribly menacing these Pirates are. Colonel Sanders must be shaking in his boots! For Pete’s sake, these are supposed to be Pirates and they’re supposed to be scary menacing villains, soft toned slightly by Disney. But the woke crowd put a total hole and void in the middle of that show by making these Pirates nothing but chicken thieves.
Now go to Splash Mountain. That again offended the Warped sensibilities of the woke crowd. And it was a movie originally made by Walt himself for the purpose of racial reconciliation because Uncle Remus was presented as nothing less than a saint telling some of the best stories ever told. And what does the woke crowd do? They rip it out thrust something to do with New Orleans in the middle of Frontier land. They put a city in the middle of frontierland when Walt Disney himself did not even want a single Cowboy walking through Tomorrowland because it would ruin the illusion. These people are not only woke, they’re incompetent.
And then you have Snow White. Yes the Dwarfs Mine Train is a fun ride, but I strongly suspect that the real reason why they wanted to get rid of Snow White’s Scary Adventures was because of the imagery the resurrection at the end of the ride. The woke crowd hates anything that would even remotely present the image of Christianity.
If Disney is to be saved, the entire woke management structure of Disney has to be eradicated and replaced with decent people. The woke crowd are not decent people.

Agree with the fairytale, European culture.. all of that. Let it be. I just want to define WOKE.. do any of you know what it even means?
It’s basic regard for human beings, respecting and valuing a person for who they are. That’s it!

Always more woke. Disney invited in the woke mob like a cancer that will not go away.

Disney gets away with this because kids don’t care. No adult with any sense spends money on Disney crap anymore.

Stop messing with original stuff and just be original. Being original the first time is what makes it ORGINAL! WE LOVE ORGINAL! Create your own thang.

Why change anything?? Walt made Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the way he wanted- family friendly, and good! Why change things to fit “their” political agendas? Let sleeping dogs lie!

This has gone too far!! Update the technology, leave the rest alone!!!

Update the technology, but leave the content alone!!!! When will someone finally have the guts to say enough is enough!!!

Let’s not forget the current day dwarves. They are offended. Discriminated as in this movie..as if heritage and ethnicity only belongs to blacks, can’t be offended. Let’s replace them with cross dressers, woman with vaginas on their head…large viking ancestors. Sounds silly right. Keep the movie as is. Changing skin colors and discriminating segments of culture is not the answer. I mean..SNOW WHITE?

Actors that have dwarfism were actually upset that they removed the dwarf’s from this movie, because of one pouplar good actor. They still don’t cast them alot in shows or movies unless the part calls for it and even then they have done movie magic for things like lord of the rings.
Aaron Miller
I don’t remember the last time I watched the original film, but I had no complaints about it. Disney is losing its magic!!!

Will the dwarves be sharing a bed? Will the Evil Queen be a drag queen?
Thugster
Ha, most of the dwarfs will be gay, snow white will be a lesbian transformer and the mother will be a divorced poverty stricken nudge that tried to abort snow (cannot use white) before she was born. The prince will be rich in spirit but a poor immigrant the snuck into the country to escape his drug infested cess pool of a city. Keep shoving money down these fools throats, keep supporting their woke nonsense see where that gets your country

I agree, it is a part of Disney history which everyone needs to leave alone!

No one is making you go see this movie. Shut up and don’t go. Some of us want to see what Disney does with these classic fairy tales. I don’t care if they change the race or gender of the character. It’s not about who’s in the role. It’s about the story.
Every little kid wants to see a movie with characters who looks like them and their family. Stop being butthurt over them not choosing who you think is inappropriate.

Another cheap trick. Can’t Disney come up with any original content. All they do now is “Woke Reruns”. Total garbage.

Anyone who seriously has a problem with the original film shouldn’t watch it. Problem solved and everyone’s lives will go on blissfully unaware of one another’s anger and resentments.

Man these comments are angry. There’s a gramtical mistake in the fourth paragraph, “…the company has decided to move forward with updating the moving with new technology…”
Sandra
Like the rest of the remakes I won’t be buying or watching. It is time for these people who want to remake everything to come up with new and inclusive movies, not change old ones. Disney has made many animated movies having different races as the main characters and I have bought them. I have enjoy watching them with my children. They have been hits! Why the need to change the old ones? Thank goodness I have these original at home.

It’s not the race that bothers us. It’s the ideology behind it. Does Disney not have the capability to write new stuff and use different races? From a perspective of us tired of the woke crap all we see is something we all grew up on being constantly rehashed and now changed because all the left sees us racism. It’s not us that lean right that are endlessly pushing it. We love everyone on this rock in space. Unless you’re evil and want to harm innocent humans. Divided we are becoming by design. Do the folks at Disney not have an imagination to write new princess stories?

Will the REAL OG Snow White movie still be available on Disney Plus when this happens?
