Snow White should go strait to digital. Rachel Z has been a disease to the WDW company. With all the negative comment she has said about the original movie. I hate to say this but I hope this movie fails.. and I have been a WDW fan for half a century. And we are DVC members and annual pass holders.
Agree and add after growing up with the original and others from Disney I am not impressed nor need them remade into live action. My grandchildren are fine with the old version and can use their imagination
I and my family plan to fully skip this movie release on all platforms. We as a family expected a live action release that paired well with the original animated master piece. Instead too much social messaging by both the actors and directors has ruined this for us.
Totally agree with every comment. I grew up watching all the Disney movies. Then my kids all watched and then enjoyed them. As a Hispanic male I don’t agreed with the casting of Rene Zegler. The original is a classic and shouldn’t be changed. Specially how she keeps talking negatively about the original! She’s talking about how it’s outdated and needs to be monernalized. It’s doesn’t if they’re changing everything about it then don’t call it Snow White call it something else! I plan to skip the his movie entirely. They should stick to the original. The original is such a wonderful story.
“I and my family plan to fully skip this movie release on all platforms.”
I’ll be watching the live-action Snow White on Bentkey: youtu.be/lq9bYTFf6ts
Of course, I’ll only subscribe to Bentkey for that one movie. Then, I’ll cancel my subscription. If Snow White and the Evil Queen was released some other way, I might do THAT, instead.
The dwarves are not convincingly portrayed, and though Rachel Z is attractive, Gal Gadot IS fairer than she is and I can’t believe she would feel threatened by her.
100000% Gal Gadot is sooo much more attractive than. The young actress who plays SnowWhite. That HAIR CUT AND STYLE IS HORRENDOUS ON HER FACIAL SHAPE AND FEATURES!! Her hair style looks like the animated original Huntsman! She looks like his daughter instead!
I agree with all who will be avoiding this mockery of the wonderful 1937 movie. As magical as Disney can be, it has lost its direction and feel for what its fans desire on so many levels.
Another pathetic attempt by Disney to remain deficient in its creative ability and just live action everything from its past. Throw in an anti-Semitic, communistic ideologue as a lead who does everything in her power to alienate half the country and this project is doomed to failure. Gal Gadot should just walk away from this disaster and never look back. This movie will be a hard “no” for my family
Disney write this movie off as a bad investment, pull release and move on. The 7 “dwarves” are so cartoon and the evil queen is so much more beautiful than snow white will ever be-in fiction or real life. Just cut the loses now
Whereas we know Disney hates us and wants to warp our kids, when they come out and openly say it, and then come back with a weak apology that we know isn’t sincere, why support them?
It’s a no for me
Pretty sure nobody really cared about snow whites ethnicity, I’m sure that was manufactured by race baiters inventing a problem that wasn’t there. It was zeglers interviews that soured people on her and dinklages tone deaf outbursts that shot down any good will towards the movie
Technically, according to Richilde (Snow White’s origin), the character of Snow White was called Blanca. Do we have a translator that can help us figure out what that word means?
In the Grimms’ version, she is described as having “skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony” (her pale skin giving her the name Snow White).
None of the other princess stories have that issue. Of course, if Jasmine wasn’t shown as Arabian…
Therefore, Zegler’s skin tone WAS the initial drawback. However, that was just a minor inconvenience. People could have learned to look past that. You ARE correct in “It was zeglers interviews that soured people on her”. And let’s not forget her social media posts, either.
As for Dinklage: he was full of himself. His comment was taken as something he wasn’t saying. Instead, Disney used it to hide their dislike of little people (and people with dwarfism). They claimed that Dinklage meant that little people should not be used as actors.
People subject to believe everything they read/watch on social media did what they do best…spread misinformation. Disney was off the hook for not using little people, because everyone thought the rumor of Dinklage not wanting little people to be actors was legit.
What Dinklage was saying (I actually LISTENED to his words & tone, during that interview):
He probably never saw or read Snow White. He just knew the scenes where they were in a mine. He thought they lived in a cave. He found that depiction demeaning (just like claiming that Native Americans all live in teepees and are primitive). He wanted the movie to focus on the dwarves as being the stars of Snow White. He wanted them living in a mansion or something. He was pulling the “minority” card.
Dinklage never stated that he didn’t want dwarves in the movie. He just wanted them to be strong, powerful, and (most likely) rich. He merely didn’t want what he felt was their depiction…in the story.
All these live action remakes. These were cartoons. Doesn’t Disney have any imagination? They can’t do anything but recycle past hits, and ruin them in the process? In two months I’ll be done with Disney forever. WDW is no longer FUN.
Disney has completely lost the magic that Walt gave it just to shove their DEI, woke and feminist agenda down our throats.
It’s obvious Disney’s out of ideas seeing as how they are doing practically nothing but doing CGI remakes just to throw agenda in. I plan to watch Mufasa when there’s a DVD release but I’ve pretty much had it with Disney. I did not want Moana 2, I will not watch Snow Woke, nor the Lilo and Stitch CGI remake, the pointless Moans remake or anything else from them. (If they make a romantically correct Lion King 2 remake I’ll consider it if it’s any good, however.)
Even if Disney were to replace narcissist Rachel Zegler in the movie I still wouldn’t watch it. Its the fact the movie promotes females being the strong leader/hero.
Also, while Disney seems to push diversity, it didn’t bother them to intentionally not use real men with dwarfism. Isn’t that being prejudice? Peter Dinklage is obviously a narcissist to if he’s scared of competition.
What you said about them not using real people with dwarfism. I’m very disappointed in Peter Dinklage for this. Peter, you’re not the only one who should be getting these roles, ok. Let the others have opportunities too! They already hardly have any roles, so to take away a role that is specifically for people with dwarfism and use CGI?? Horrible!
Skipping this movie, not even going to watch it when it comes out on TV. Not even watching the trailers. Refuse to give them even a single view for anything.
He’s not scared of competition, he’s a great actor, but he was being hypocritical. And they shouldn’t have taken him as speaking for the whole dwarf community.
I’m okay with some strong female characters but it’s also okay for girls to look forward to being happily married and settling down. I like how Snow White was portrayed in Once Upon A Time, she is a strong female character only when she is forced to fight to survive, but she’s better suited as a mom in the end and not as a ruler. And the actress who plays her and the prince got married in real life.
“they shouldn’t have taken him as speaking for the whole dwarf community.”
Actually… They didn’t. They used what he said in the interview out of context; and used it as an excuse. Then it got published on social media — where everyone reading/watching believed what Disney was telling them.
Dinklage never stated that he didn’t want people with dwarfism. He was saying that (since he never saw nor read the tale, he thought they lived in the mines that they’re shown in) they were depicted in the worst way. He wanted the dwarves to be the stars of the movie. He wanted them to be rich, powerful, and strong. He wanted Disney to do to the dwarves what they were doing to Snow Woke…I mean White.
He also wanted them to leave ethnicity & feminism out; so they can focus on making the dwarves as the most important roles in the movie.
Disney simply twisted what he said to make everyone believe he was saying, “No dwarves.”
Won’t watch the movie and not interested in watching the trailer either. Took my grandson to see Moana 2 and I fell asleep. I’m sorry Walt but they are destroying your legacy.
Disney has done everything possible to alienate it’s fans in almost every IP. From the animated movies to the terrible live action remakes, their “modernization of the classics, never live up to the original movies. They have destroyed Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and have used DEI to ruin anything coming out of the Marvel IP since end game. I can proudly say that I haven’t watched anything from Disney except for Deadpool and Wolverine. He’ll, they even destroyed one of my favorite series of all time, Dr. Who. They keep putting out woke garbage that gets rejected soundly and even after releasing flop afte flop after flop, the refuse to listen to the fans, and insult them instead, labeling them as it’s or phones. Maybe one day they’ll learn from their failures, but it’s too late for that now. Disney is dying, and I’ll be first in line to attend the funeral.
Dude, Disney has nothing to do with producing Dr Who, it just has rights to stream it. Also, why be so dramatic, it’s just a studio. I get being a little upset about things like Star Wars that weren’t originally theirs, but just watch the old movies if you don’t like the new ones. No one is forcing you to watch things you don’t like.
Definitely recommend the (Pixar) Inside Out movies though, they might help you process your emotions.
“Definitely recommend the (Pixar) Inside Out movies though”
I LOVE Pixar movies! It’s just too bad what Disney did to Riley, when they decided that people didn’t like Pride (LGBTQ, LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIA+, 2SLGBTQIA+).
What was Disney’s reasoning? People didn’t like the poor story of Lightyear. People didn’t care for Acolyte nor Agatha All Along. People didn’t like Strange World. When Disney looked at what all those had, they told Pixar to change a certain aspect on Inside Out 2.
Umm…Disney? First of all, you never added in live action Little Mermaid, or Snow Woke in the mix. People also didn’t like the live action Aladdin, either. None of which has Pride.
Besides, Inside Out 2 didn’t have Pride as the focus. Riley was having her first crush. Her first crush just happened to be female. At THAT age, they don’t know one way or the other.
At least Pixar didn’t change much. They simply reworked any scenes that showed Riley as “like liking” Val.
“Disney has nothing to do with producing Dr Who, it just has rights to stream it.”
Correct. BBC still owns Doctor Who. Disney has the rights to publish and stream it. Disney is Doctor Who’s budget, at this time. The writers & directors & cast/crew are still employed via BBC.
Disney never FULLY purchased them — like they did with Jim Henson Studios/Muppet Studios, Lucas Films and most of Marvel. Unfortunately, they’ve OWNED Pixar, ever since Pixar signed that contract (Disney had the money & resources Pixar needed).
PS: My phrasing of “People didn’t like” is not ALL people. I’m not even including MY takes on those films/series. I’m talking about the ones vocal about it on social media.
I love Disney and always have. However, with the horrible comments made by Rachel Zegler about the original movie and her awful comments about Trump, this is an absolute pass for me. Cut your losses, Disney and shelve this film immediately. Zegler is obnoxious, arrogant and a disgrace. Anything attached to her will fail.
Disney of the renaissance era helped me get through school bullying, an abusive childhood at home, surviving an attempted murder, and going through foster care. I had one of Walt’s quotes tattooed on my arm when I was 18. I performed at Disneyland the same year as part of a TV series I was starring on. I collected extremely rare and expensive memorabilia and paid insane prices for events and merchandise. I worked at Lucasfilm in my twenties and studied animation because of Walt’s inspiration on my life. I was once proud to be a Disney super fan. But all of that has come to a bitter end during the last decade. For me, Disney animation began its decline at the turn of the millennium, live action around 2010, but the conveyer belt of fast food remakes coupled with unnecessary, politically-driven, activist writers, cast, and adaptations are what have destroyed the company forever. It will never recover, no matter how much money these childish films like Frozen, Moana, and Inside Out make. Star Wars is deceased. Marvel is horrendous. Hollywoke is lazy, unimaginative, and puts profit before quality. Sorry for what they’ve done to your legacy, Walt.
Well said Killian. Disney needs to take a step back and distance themselves from the “politically driven, activist writers, cast” and hire people with an imagination who look to new stories or stories within the old stories. I always go back to opportunities missed in remaking The Little Mermaid. Ariel’s sisters are a gold mine of stories.
Until Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm stops pushing their social justice agenda of identity politics (“The Message”) and hiring outspoken snotty feminazis like Rachel Zegler (following Tessa Thompson and Brie Larson), they will not get a dime from me.
I haven’t watched a Disney remake for years and never will again. Zegler is insufferable and this film should have been cancelled, as unprecedented as that would be during production. Disney of the renaissance era helped me get through hell. I had one of Walt’s quotes tattooed on my arm when I was 18, performed at Disneyland, collected rare and expensive memorabilia, worked at Lucasfilm and studied animation because of how much Walt inspired my life. I was once proud to be a Disney fan. All of that means little to me now. The conveyer belt of fast food remakes coupled with politically-driven, divisive adaptations are what have destroyed the company. It will never reclaim what the brand used to be. Star Wars is obliterated. Marvel is horrendous. Hollywoke is lazy, unimaginative, and puts profit before quality. Sorry for what they’ve done to your legacy, Walt.
There’s something wrong with you, getting upset over a movie being in production. You know how many movies are made every year? You’re not going to like all of them.
Tell you what Disney.Just honor Walt.Re-release Classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to theaters at the same time you release the live action version,and you’ll find out which one audiences,familys,and fans prefer.Honor Walt.Honor the original classic that put Disney on the map to begin with.And it’s obvious Peter Dinklage has never watched the classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.If he had he’d remember the seven dwarves wasn’t living in a (f-ing cave-Peter Dinklages words) THEY live in a cottage! It would have been great to see Warwick Davis & other little people actors in the live action version.Thanks a lot Peter Dinklage!( sarcasm about a sarcastic man)
Ive followed this supposedly priceless asset of Disneys. The vandalism of the original folk tale in the name of politics. The rewriting of the story to create a weak prince who needs saving and a princess who creates a militia to save the prince, plus her not being culturally in tact and her origin story rewritten, means this is no longer snow white. We now have a different story made by “WISH” distributed by Disney. A lead actress who openly admitted she hates the original folk tale, and the final straw? The lead actress wishing more than half the nation of the united states never finds peace. Well done Disney. Well done .
I really disliked the original Snow White and I still hate that dress. I do think she looks like Snow White though. She is half white and has light skin so I don’t see the big deal as far as that goes. Not a fan of her as a person but she can definitely sing and act judging from West Side Story.
I liked the live action Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and 101 Dalmatians the best. I’d love to see them do a live-action sequel of a ’90s movie like Emperor’s New Groove or treasure planet. Or a live action Cars movie but with people driving the cars, so basically a race car driver becomes unlikely friends with a tow truck driver and has a change of heart.
The official trailer is at over 1 million dislikes to less than 19k likes…. That alone should be enough to say this film should never be released.
But let’s consider this… Almost every comment on the internet is in agreement that Zegler, CGI dwarves, ridicule of Walts original animated film, and that the Evil Queen is fairer than Snow White. How can that many people agree if it isn’t true?
Fittingly, Disney is essentially making a movie about a broken mirror while failing to take a look at themselves in the mirror and establish that they have forgotten how to tell stories or create films with heart that Walt would have approved of.
I hope this movie flops as hard as the teaser and trailer suggests it will.
Disney did this to themselves and now they are caught in between a rock and a hard place. They nurtured and even encourage these young starlets to act empowered and as a girlboss. Being Zegler is a ‘diversity” hire they cant fire her or shelve the film without the woke mob calling them out as r’cist and phobes. If they release it there will be boycotts. Disney did this to themselves!
Classic all the way! She has talked so negatively about so many topics. I’ve been turned off from seeing it. Even if I wanted to support woke Disney. I also wish they’d bring back the hand drawn animation. I’m going really old school now, but its a big part of what built the empire that now is.😢 All the “damsels” in the cartoons had incredible strength. Snow White and Cinderella survived cruel treatment from relatives till they found someone who loves them as they are. Belle sacrifices her freedom for her father, that’s strength and courage and selfless. Ariel was curious about humanity long before Eric was on her radar. These aren’t just classic fairytales for obvious reasons. As people with personalities like R. Z. clearly point out, real humans couldn’t do these types of things for other humans. The simple reality is these cartoon women had larger than life strong attributes.
I agree with other comments. Stick to the original story & stop trying to be PC on everything. Not to mention there have been so many live versions of the story already, I was actually looking forward to seeing the original in live action. Not this PC/woke version. Also, if actors & actresses want to keep their careers, they should keep their opinions to themselves. Just my opinion!
The story line the way she describes sucks. The dwarves look horrible. Gadot makes her look ugly. I don’t think i’ll waste my money on this. I would rather they release the original. I would pay for that.
This adaptation of Walt’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a complete abomination. There is not enough money on Earth to coerce me to see this piece of garbage. It needs to be burned and forever used as a lesson on what not to do. I’m sure Walt is spinning in his grave at what his dream has become. I firmly believe Disney should get the Bud Light Treatment and realize that going woke will ultimately make you go broke…..
Disney is fine and will continue To be a success in the next few years. Best thing would be shelve it and take the loss now. And people like Steve who says Disney is dying knows not what he’s talking about.
Goodbye Zegler! Ugliest Snow White ever! Disney is taking this Woke waaaaay too far. I’ve been a womens’ advocate for 5 decades, a diversity council president and consultant. Diversity is important, yes, let’s not forget that caucasians are part of that tapestry, and turning every Disney princess and character multiracial is insulting and confusing to children who have grown up with the originals. Putting politics into every “fairytale” is disgusting. Let the children have a few fantasies unsullied by agendas, please! And get rid of Zegler, she’s toxic!
I voted for Trump. R. Zeigler has wished I will never have another moment of peace ever again. Soo, I will never pay to watch this over payed Hollywood pretender, and that makes me happy!! YMCA! YMCA!
I think this movie is a disgrace and all the DEI/FEMINIST garbage Disney is following will ruin them. No wonder I think it was Studio Ghibli one BEST ANIMATED FILM. Just good animation and a good story. None of this crap Disney is putting in their movies now. Disney go back to your old ways and the HELL WITH WHAT THE WOKE CROWD SAYS OR YELLS! THEY ARE THE MINORITY AND NOT YOUR MAIN AUDIENCE! Give your main source of income what they want in Disney movies or you will continue to lose profits. Simple as that. No body cares if people’s feelings get hurt anymore. GROW UP and move on like normal adults do.
They should throw this movie into the dark pots of hell, then burn it and keep it’s ashes in a sealed safe where no one can reach it ever!
As a Disney fan for over 40 years, this woke movement Disney is on is really shameful, The CEO should resign as his fingerprints are all over these decisions. DEI doesnysell, 99.9% of the fan base want Disney as it was. Stay away from our childhood memories!

Disney please take Walt’s name off everything ? Its very disrespectful that you keep changing his movies because of your woke agender . We just came back from a vacation on property at Disney World and lets say we won’t be coming back ! The place was an utter mad house . I guess people forgot how to say excuse me , please, thank you…….its been replaced by crowds running to rides, pushing people to get to them , and after a day there was very tired of people ( many of them ) yelling ,screaming , roughly grabbing them . l remember the a different place years ago . Why should a family of 4 have to spent 10K to 15K for a 7 day vacation. A parkhopper for a 3 year old for 4 days over 500.00,
Happy Birthday Walt, so glad you’re not around to see what is happening to your legacy, of course if you were this wouldn’t be happening.Apparently there is no imagination lefts everyone has to remake everything instead of new creative ideas.haven’t watched and won’t, the classics are fine with me.
The Cinderella live action remake was wonderful. Why couldn’t they have done the same with Snow White? Cinderella didn’t have to change the story to strong women, etc. They just followed the story and ended up with a very charming movie.
Disney condemned Snow White with the absurd changes and Zeglar put the entire film to death. Stop trying to fix what is not broke! As for me and my family, we will NOT put one cent towards this movie with her in it!
I’m a Mom and a grandmom of 5…Disney has gone way out, to far…We are done with Disney…Disney is cleaned out of my home and we refuse to take them to see anything Disney!
Release directly to Disney plus and eat the lost money. Do not embarrass Disney with theatrical release. Do not promote it at all, just wasting money. No one will come to see it. Movie Theaters do not want it. It is BOX OFFICE POISON.

They have destroyed Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and have used DEI to ruin anything coming out of the Marvel IP since end game. I can proudly say that I haven’t watched anything from Disney except for Deadpool and Wolverine. He’ll, they even destroyed one of my favorite series of all time, Dr. Who. They keep putting out woke garbage that gets rejected soundly and even after releasing flop afte flop after flop, the refuse to listen to the fans, and insult them instead, labeling them as it’s or phones. Maybe one day they’ll learn from their failures, but it’s too late for that now. Disney is dying, and I’ll be first in line to attend the funeral.

Dude, Disney has nothing to do with producing Dr Who, it just has rights to stream it. Also, why be so dramatic, it’s just a studio. I get being a little upset about things like Star Wars that weren’t originally theirs, but just watch the old movies if you don’t like the new ones. No one is forcing you to watch things you don’t like.
Definitely recommend the (Pixar) Inside Out movies though, they might help you process your emotions.

“Definitely recommend the (Pixar) Inside Out movies though”
I LOVE Pixar movies! It’s just too bad what Disney did to Riley, when they decided that people didn’t like Pride (LGBTQ, LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIA+, 2SLGBTQIA+).
What was Disney’s reasoning? People didn’t like the poor story of Lightyear. People didn’t care for Acolyte nor Agatha All Along. People didn’t like Strange World. When Disney looked at what all those had, they told Pixar to change a certain aspect on Inside Out 2.
Umm…Disney? First of all, you never added in live action Little Mermaid, or Snow Woke in the mix. People also didn’t like the live action Aladdin, either. None of which has Pride.
Besides, Inside Out 2 didn’t have Pride as the focus. Riley was having her first crush. Her first crush just happened to be female. At THAT age, they don’t know one way or the other.
At least Pixar didn’t change much. They simply reworked any scenes that showed Riley as “like liking” Val.
“Disney has nothing to do with producing Dr Who, it just has rights to stream it.”
Correct. BBC still owns Doctor Who. Disney has the rights to publish and stream it. Disney is Doctor Who’s budget, at this time. The writers & directors & cast/crew are still employed via BBC.
Disney never FULLY purchased them — like they did with Jim Henson Studios/Muppet Studios, Lucas Films and most of Marvel. Unfortunately, they’ve OWNED Pixar, ever since Pixar signed that contract (Disney had the money & resources Pixar needed).

PS: My phrasing of “People didn’t like” is not ALL people. I’m not even including MY takes on those films/series. I’m talking about the ones vocal about it on social media.

I love Disney and always have. However, with the horrible comments made by Rachel Zegler about the original movie and her awful comments about Trump, this is an absolute pass for me. Cut your losses, Disney and shelve this film immediately. Zegler is obnoxious, arrogant and a disgrace. Anything attached to her will fail.

Disney of the renaissance era helped me get through school bullying, an abusive childhood at home, surviving an attempted murder, and going through foster care. I had one of Walt’s quotes tattooed on my arm when I was 18. I performed at Disneyland the same year as part of a TV series I was starring on. I collected extremely rare and expensive memorabilia and paid insane prices for events and merchandise. I worked at Lucasfilm in my twenties and studied animation because of Walt’s inspiration on my life. I was once proud to be a Disney super fan. But all of that has come to a bitter end during the last decade. For me, Disney animation began its decline at the turn of the millennium, live action around 2010, but the conveyer belt of fast food remakes coupled with unnecessary, politically-driven, activist writers, cast, and adaptations are what have destroyed the company forever. It will never recover, no matter how much money these childish films like Frozen, Moana, and Inside Out make. Star Wars is deceased. Marvel is horrendous. Hollywoke is lazy, unimaginative, and puts profit before quality. Sorry for what they’ve done to your legacy, Walt.
Lady Arthropod
Well said Killian. Disney needs to take a step back and distance themselves from the “politically driven, activist writers, cast” and hire people with an imagination who look to new stories or stories within the old stories. I always go back to opportunities missed in remaking The Little Mermaid. Ariel’s sisters are a gold mine of stories.
Paul
Until Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm stops pushing their social justice agenda of identity politics (“The Message”) and hiring outspoken snotty feminazis like Rachel Zegler (following Tessa Thompson and Brie Larson), they will not get a dime from me.
Killian
I haven’t watched a Disney remake for years and never will again. Zegler is insufferable and this film should have been cancelled, as unprecedented as that would be during production. Disney of the renaissance era helped me get through hell. I had one of Walt’s quotes tattooed on my arm when I was 18, performed at Disneyland, collected rare and expensive memorabilia, worked at Lucasfilm and studied animation because of how much Walt inspired my life. I was once proud to be a Disney fan. All of that means little to me now. The conveyer belt of fast food remakes coupled with politically-driven, divisive adaptations are what have destroyed the company. It will never reclaim what the brand used to be. Star Wars is obliterated. Marvel is horrendous. Hollywoke is lazy, unimaginative, and puts profit before quality. Sorry for what they’ve done to your legacy, Walt.

No one asked for another Disney live action remake flop. And if you did, then they’re something seriously wrong with you.
Sarah
There’s something wrong with you, getting upset over a movie being in production. You know how many movies are made every year? You’re not going to like all of them.
Keifers
Tell you what Disney.Just honor Walt.Re-release Classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to theaters at the same time you release the live action version,and you’ll find out which one audiences,familys,and fans prefer.Honor Walt.Honor the original classic that put Disney on the map to begin with.And it’s obvious Peter Dinklage has never watched the classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.If he had he’d remember the seven dwarves wasn’t living in a (f-ing cave-Peter Dinklages words) THEY live in a cottage! It would have been great to see Warwick Davis & other little people actors in the live action version.Thanks a lot Peter Dinklage!( sarcasm about a sarcastic man)
James Liškutín
Ive followed this supposedly priceless asset of Disneys. The vandalism of the original folk tale in the name of politics. The rewriting of the story to create a weak prince who needs saving and a princess who creates a militia to save the prince, plus her not being culturally in tact and her origin story rewritten, means this is no longer snow white. We now have a different story made by “WISH” distributed by Disney. A lead actress who openly admitted she hates the original folk tale, and the final straw? The lead actress wishing more than half the nation of the united states never finds peace. Well done Disney. Well done .
Sarah
I really disliked the original Snow White and I still hate that dress. I do think she looks like Snow White though. She is half white and has light skin so I don’t see the big deal as far as that goes. Not a fan of her as a person but she can definitely sing and act judging from West Side Story.
I liked the live action Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and 101 Dalmatians the best. I’d love to see them do a live-action sequel of a ’90s movie like Emperor’s New Groove or treasure planet. Or a live action Cars movie but with people driving the cars, so basically a race car driver becomes unlikely friends with a tow truck driver and has a change of heart.
Mr Wolf
The official trailer is at over 1 million dislikes to less than 19k likes…. That alone should be enough to say this film should never be released.
But let’s consider this… Almost every comment on the internet is in agreement that Zegler, CGI dwarves, ridicule of Walts original animated film, and that the Evil Queen is fairer than Snow White. How can that many people agree if it isn’t true?
Fittingly, Disney is essentially making a movie about a broken mirror while failing to take a look at themselves in the mirror and establish that they have forgotten how to tell stories or create films with heart that Walt would have approved of.
I hope this movie flops as hard as the teaser and trailer suggests it will.
Danny O.
I second most of what you typed.
Andrew
Disney did this to themselves and now they are caught in between a rock and a hard place. They nurtured and even encourage these young starlets to act empowered and as a girlboss. Being Zegler is a ‘diversity” hire they cant fire her or shelve the film without the woke mob calling them out as r’cist and phobes. If they release it there will be boycotts. Disney did this to themselves!
Clay
Classic all the way! She has talked so negatively about so many topics. I’ve been turned off from seeing it. Even if I wanted to support woke Disney. I also wish they’d bring back the hand drawn animation. I’m going really old school now, but its a big part of what built the empire that now is.😢 All the “damsels” in the cartoons had incredible strength. Snow White and Cinderella survived cruel treatment from relatives till they found someone who loves them as they are. Belle sacrifices her freedom for her father, that’s strength and courage and selfless. Ariel was curious about humanity long before Eric was on her radar. These aren’t just classic fairytales for obvious reasons. As people with personalities like R. Z. clearly point out, real humans couldn’t do these types of things for other humans. The simple reality is these cartoon women had larger than life strong attributes.
Kathy
I agree with other comments. Stick to the original story & stop trying to be PC on everything. Not to mention there have been so many live versions of the story already, I was actually looking forward to seeing the original in live action. Not this PC/woke version. Also, if actors & actresses want to keep their careers, they should keep their opinions to themselves. Just my opinion!
Kenneth
The story line the way she describes sucks. The dwarves look horrible. Gadot makes her look ugly. I don’t think i’ll waste my money on this. I would rather they release the original. I would pay for that.
Sandi
This adaptation of Walt’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a complete abomination. There is not enough money on Earth to coerce me to see this piece of garbage. It needs to be burned and forever used as a lesson on what not to do. I’m sure Walt is spinning in his grave at what his dream has become. I firmly believe Disney should get the Bud Light Treatment and realize that going woke will ultimately make you go broke…..
Terry
Disney is fine and will continue To be a success in the next few years. Best thing would be shelve it and take the loss now. And people like Steve who says Disney is dying knows not what he’s talking about.
Barb L,
Goodbye Zegler! Ugliest Snow White ever! Disney is taking this Woke waaaaay too far. I’ve been a womens’ advocate for 5 decades, a diversity council president and consultant. Diversity is important, yes, let’s not forget that caucasians are part of that tapestry, and turning every Disney princess and character multiracial is insulting and confusing to children who have grown up with the originals. Putting politics into every “fairytale” is disgusting. Let the children have a few fantasies unsullied by agendas, please! And get rid of Zegler, she’s toxic!
Cecil
I voted for Trump. R. Zeigler has wished I will never have another moment of peace ever again. Soo, I will never pay to watch this over payed Hollywood pretender, and that makes me happy!! YMCA! YMCA!
Josh
I think this movie is a disgrace and all the DEI/FEMINIST garbage Disney is following will ruin them. No wonder I think it was Studio Ghibli one BEST ANIMATED FILM. Just good animation and a good story. None of this crap Disney is putting in their movies now. Disney go back to your old ways and the HELL WITH WHAT THE WOKE CROWD SAYS OR YELLS! THEY ARE THE MINORITY AND NOT YOUR MAIN AUDIENCE! Give your main source of income what they want in Disney movies or you will continue to lose profits. Simple as that. No body cares if people’s feelings get hurt anymore. GROW UP and move on like normal adults do.
Gimli
They should throw this movie into the dark pots of hell, then burn it and keep it’s ashes in a sealed safe where no one can reach it ever!
As a Disney fan for over 40 years, this woke movement Disney is on is really shameful, The CEO should resign as his fingerprints are all over these decisions. DEI doesnysell, 99.9% of the fan base want Disney as it was. Stay away from our childhood memories!

Disney please take Walt’s name off everything ? Its very disrespectful that you keep changing his movies because of your woke agender . We just came back from a vacation on property at Disney World and lets say we won’t be coming back ! The place was an utter mad house . I guess people forgot how to say excuse me , please, thank you…….its been replaced by crowds running to rides, pushing people to get to them , and after a day there was very tired of people ( many of them ) yelling ,screaming , roughly grabbing them . l remember the a different place years ago . Why should a family of 4 have to spent 10K to 15K for a 7 day vacation. A parkhopper for a 3 year old for 4 days over 500.00,
Hoffman
“I guess people forgot how to say excuse me , please, thank you…….”
And that’s just the cast members! 😉

Shelves it or straight to streaming. Nobody is paying to see that garbage
Misty
Happy Birthday Walt, so glad you’re not around to see what is happening to your legacy, of course if you were this wouldn’t be happening.Apparently there is no imagination lefts everyone has to remake everything instead of new creative ideas.haven’t watched and won’t, the classics are fine with me.
Southsider9805
The Cinderella live action remake was wonderful. Why couldn’t they have done the same with Snow White? Cinderella didn’t have to change the story to strong women, etc. They just followed the story and ended up with a very charming movie.
Chila
Why mess with the original it was perfection. This makes me so sad. The Disney magic is gone!
Jo
Disney condemned Snow White with the absurd changes and Zeglar put the entire film to death. Stop trying to fix what is not broke! As for me and my family, we will NOT put one cent towards this movie with her in it!
Theresa Jenkins
I’m a Mom and a grandmom of 5…Disney has gone way out, to far…We are done with Disney…Disney is cleaned out of my home and we refuse to take them to see anything Disney!
Tom
Release directly to Disney plus and eat the lost money. Do not embarrass Disney with theatrical release. Do not promote it at all, just wasting money. No one will come to see it. Movie Theaters do not want it. It is BOX OFFICE POISON.
Tracy
Came straight to the comments for the ratio. Not disappointed!!! 🙂
Jerusha
PLEASE CANCEL this Snow White movie!!!!! And PLEASE cancel the person chosen by Disney to play Snow While!!!!
