Well, just looking at precident ge is not wrong. If you look at the post election map, I don’t think there are enough people in the blue areas that will buy tickets to make this movie profitable.
If the movies don’t make a profit, the studios have to reevaluate what they are selling, cut costs to make ends meet (layoffs), and they will, if they are interested in staying in business look to see what was profitable in the past. Hint: it wasn’t preachy, social justice, ideological live action remakes of beloved classic films.
Too bad walt didn’t love the traditional family. As his niece Abigail had said over and over he would be considered one of the hippiest people you could meet. He loved everyone and was one of the first studios to openly hire people of color and gays. And it’s one of the reasons his animations were so outside the box. How about give this a try considering we don’t know at all what the film has in store. So far just a bunch of people whining that the main character is brown. And thats just racist
Wrong about everything. Abigail Disney has no clue who Walt was and neither do you. Abigail Disney is a known liar who went to jail for calling Walt racist.
It’s not woke. Your just racist. Didn’t have an issue with maleficent or Cinderella but now that a half latina plays snow white you wanna call it woke-ism? Be fr.
It looks horrendous and I’m definitely not wasting my time on it. The Stewart one looks so much better than this mess and I wasn’t the biggest fan of that one. It’s a flop in the making
Looks awful. I will never watch Rachel Zegler in anything. She thinks she’s Meryl Streep. She hasn’t earned that yet. You can keep her and her big mouth!
If Disney’s live adaptation is not going to re-create the beloved original classic then why bother? For starters Snow White is named that because her skin is white as snow. There are 7 dwarfs not mystical creatures. I realize they changed them to dwarfs but why animated? It’s supposed to be a live action film. Disney’s woke take on this beloved classic is the wrong move and it will cost them heavily at the box office. Little Mermaid was an example of this. While it wasn’t a flop, it wasn’t a hit either. But at least Hallie Bailey was grateful and gracious for the role, unlike Rachel Zegler whose head is as big as her mouth. “Weird, weird”!
The problem is they are lost with no direction, all they got are remakes and computer grifs, no talent at all ,no artistic talents, just buhh…toooo much catering to the woke needdees.I know who can fix it ,he’ll be available in about 4 years…MDGA
Did they put white face on zegler, we need to know…if they used any makeup to make her whiter…any shade lighter then he natural skin color, if so I find that as racist. Some makeup artist knows , spill the beans. Makeup artist are actually the only true artist left at disney i think?
They should shelve it. They should also shelve everyone who was involved with the decision to release it, and everyone involved with the decision to make this film that no one asked for and no one wanted.
Finally they should just shelve everyone involved with it indefinitely except the crew. You don’t deserve to have you career ruined if all you did was operate a boom mic, setup some lights, make props, paint some scenery etc., that would be a bit extreme. But everyone else… To the shelf with you!
the movie shouldn’t be called Snow White, the characters names should be different.
it is a different story than the original folk tale, it is a different story from what the Brother’s Grimm published, it is a different story from what Disney originally shared in 1937. it has nothing to do with the Snow White story, other than the names of the characters and the clothing they wear bearing a resemblance to the cartoon.
on top of cultural appropriation and completely changing the original story, the story is supposed to be set in Germany, I’d even go so far as to not be that specific and just say Northern Europe, I guess they’re halfway there since Zegler’s father is of Polish descent. she claims to be Hispanic though, so if you didn’t look to Google to see that her father had northern European ancestry you’d never know that she doesn’t care about that part of her heritage. the evil queen also has cast someone that doesn’t fit the heritage of the story. but I suppose Aladdin genie wasn’t of ME descent so whatever at this point, right? I thought we were trying to get away from things like casting Alec Guinness as an Arabian prince?
that’s all bad enough on its own, with Rachel’s most recent outburst with her barely apology is doing the chances of this movie no favors.
I’ll agree w/ you until the genie comment. The genie, like mermaids, is(/are) a mythical creature(s). They can have whatever ethnic background they want. Only exception is Santa Claus. Santa lives at the North Pole. The coldest and darkest part of Earth. He’s gotta be white.
I’ve seen the trailer and I’ve seen the interviews with Rachel Ziegler, the only good thing about that movie is Gal Gadot and I don’t think even Wonder woman could save this pig. Brett Cooper is making her own version to be streamed and it already looks better and it will cost a tiny fraction of what Disney wasted.
As a proud Trump supporter I and fellow Trump supporters now know some measure of peace, now that Trump has assumed his rightful place. There is now hope for America and the world.
Sorry Rachel.
Some of the live actions were decent or even a fun twist (not direct copy) like Maleficent. Loved that movie! It was not Sleeping Beauty and did not want it to be.
But Snow White? You cannot even support Little People Actors! CGI everything? Why not animate everything to begin with? Oh! It was already done! So why are you doing it again with CGI?! Ughs….
Anyway, painful. Be like live action Shrek…just no! Too much CGI required, defeats the purpose of live action.
So I cannot bring myself to watch it when Disney for all its equal rights and supposed wokeness cannot even support Little People as actors!
Sorry, just makes me so mad. Star Wars used Little People actors from R2D2 to the Ewoks. Wizard of Oz had Little People actors too! Many wonderful films used them. So why not modern Disney?!
Here’s what kills me about that–we can’t call them midgets anymore because that’s somehow offensive. The term midget means diminutive in stature. They (originally) wanted to be called dwarfs instead. Part of the definition of dwarf is a mythical creature. Y on God’s green Earth would you want to be known as a mythical creature. Now you’ve shot yourself in the foot. I’d be more upset Gimli was played by someone who is 6’1″.
Ziegler brought this on herself and Disney years ago. The moment she got cast in the part, which I believe was as far back as pre-pandemic, she immediately took to Twitter to go on a bizarre anti-White tirade, saying how she “won’t be bleaching her skin” and moving onto a tangent about hating White people.
She is an absolute nobody that had no major film credits prior to casting. There was not a single person alive on this planet outside her family, friends and a handful of people in Hollyweird that even knew who she was. Yet she has managed to become one of the biggest thorns in Disney’s side. She’s single-handedly tanked the anticipation for this movie years before it even came out.
This company wearing the Disney skin is NOT Walt’s Disney. I can only hope that something will change.
No way I’m watching this lol. Rachel comes off as annoying and that wig is soooo ugly.
If I was the mirror I’d tell the queen she’s the fairest cuz… c’mon. We all have eyes.
Yes the wife IS bad. They said there weren’t enough little people actors to fill all 7 dwarves so I don’t think I will mind them as CGI but really the story will be like Really? Gal Gadot IS the fairest of them all already!
When Disney has released a live action remake based on an animated classic, it has succeeded when the new film is closely based on the original animated classic. Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Aladdin were very well received. These films tell the stories based on the Disney canon and more important, the actors cast are aligned with Disney canon. When Disney has established characters in animated films people have an expectation as to how those Disney characters look and act. Even Angelina Jolie was appropriately cast as Meleficent despite the film having a new story. But, casting that diverges from Disney canon are usually failures. The Little Mermaid should have been a bigger hit but Disney’s Ariel is a white redhead. Tinkerbell is a blonde white girl. Sorry if you think these are racist comments but facts are facts. As for Snow White, Rachel Zegler is the wrong casting choice for several reasons and the dwarfs are poorly conceived. They look like Rankin/Bass characters. Disney needs to shelve the film. Once a misstep is made with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs the IP will be tainted forever.
I disagree. I don’t think it mattered that Ariel was black. However, she should have been true to herself and not had red hair. That’s what looked bad. Her red hair is not integral to the plot nor is it necessarily iconic. We’re not talking Mary Jane Watson or Jean Gray here. Hell were not even talking Lucille Ball or Julianne Moore for that matter.
I’ll skip this movie unless it receives an over 80% audience score on rotten tomatoes. That other score from critics is an irrelevant score that can be adjusted by Disney
The major issues with this film it is obvious they shot it with actors and later covered it up with CGI characters. Also making it I must save my kingdom and rule it. That story beat at least made sense in Aladin with Jasmine as it was true to the character. They are stuck with it and can not take a tax write off on this film. It is more than just Zeigler.
I’m refusing to watch this woke movie not just because Rachel Zegler is a Trump hating narcissist, but because I’m sick of Disney making girlbosses out of every female character. This film promotes female chauvinism. Snow White is a girl of sweet innocence who dreams of love. Not a prince saving, superhero dreaming of being a leader.
Her making the dwarves clean their own house after she breaks in takes away the kindness shown when she and the animals clean it for them and she even prepared their supper.
Also it’s wrong to make the dwarves CGI instead of giving acting chances to real dwarf people.
Third, the casting of Snow White is wrong because Zegler is Latino. Snow White is called “white” for a specific reason. Read the book.
While I’m not totally against some of Disney’s remakes such as Aladdin, The Lion King and the Jungle Book, it’s the “modernized” content placed in them that makes them less enjoyable and meaningful.
I do not watch Disney movies so I do not really care but Donald Trump himself will deliver on “May Donald Trump supporters never see peace”. We do not need to wish it. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. People who vote against their own self-interest will pay the price anyway.
