So now they’re even changing the origin story, so that her skin doesn’t have to be white as snow?? Ridiculous. The part was tailor made for a lily white person. The Lilo and Stitch one looks more promising though. But that’s absolutely a slap in the face to the movie that put the company on the map, the one that started it all.
The original was the first movie I ever went to when I was 4. I showed it to my granddaughter around the same age. Some movies are just timeless classics. This remake is going to age like milk in the sun.
I won’t waste any $$$ on the live-action Snow White for a variety of reasons. My money would be better spent on a wager that says this future flop will win all kinds of Hollywood awards, simply because of the “wokeness” it represents. Wonder what odds Vegas is giving?
It’s going to tank. It was a smart move to fix the dwarf issue I remember seeing the original idea and was like this isn’t going to make 5 bucks.
However, the story has now been butchered it’s not even snow white anymore. Why didn’t they just call it something else and change the propagandists it would have been a much better idea. Not everything is meant to be remade
Congrats Bob Iger – the destruction is almost complete. With ESPN panning the moment of silence, the Star Spangled Banner and the crowd chant after a the Sugar Bowl – you show your true colors. You are lost, The company is lost. This disease is rampant within a once great company.
I will not be watching Snow Woke. Disney had no right to destroy a classic all for the sake of ‘modernizing it’ for liberal fans.
Disney is not only disrespecting Walt’s wish to keep his beloved movie untouched, but is disrespecting Germany. Snow White is a German tale and her character should not be played by a Latino, nor should the huntsman be black.
This movie also shows that Peter Dinklage, who is a dwarf himself, intentionally rejected acting roles to real dwarf men.
Next, Snow White is a gentle, kindhearted and humble girl. Not a snobby girlboss who sings about needing to be a strong independent girl, makes the dwarves clean their own house and forms an army to go save the poor price and reclaim her kingdom.
Oh, and that line Snow Brown said about the kingdom needing more kindness? Coming from a hateful leftist that’s very corny.
It may have cost Disney 300 million to make this trash, but it’s not worth 300 cents and you couldn’t pay me the 300 million to watch it.
I’m going to risk sounding racist by saying this… If they were to remake say “The Princess and The Frog” casting a white woman as Tiana, the BIPOC community would have no issue voicing their outrage. So, I comes to reason that, if we eliminated double standards, white/European/caucasian folks have all the right to be appalled by the casting of a Latino woman to play Snow White, who’s skin is supposed to be white as snow. Just saying.
Ps: I’m Latino/Middle Eastern and think her casting is a poor choice.
You are right about them disrespecting Germany. But Disney is offending still more countries. Variants of Snow White exist across Europe; Austria shares the tale, and Italy has its variant, “Biancaneve” (Literally translates to Snow White). The story is traditional in Czechia. This ancient tale derives its value from its scope and its antiquity.
The press has not covered the cultural insult’s geographic extent or the centuries-old tale’s antiquity. Sadly, no commentator has followed through with the whole story.

I’m looking forward to this. The old Snow White is cute, but outdated and kind of boring. Rachel Zegler is extremely talented and I’m glad they chose such a great singer in a movie with songs (she was amazing in West Side Story). Based on the trailers this story seems much fuller and gives Snow White more to do than just clean up for a bunch of sloppy men and then be in a coma. The old one is a classic and is important because of its place in cinema, but doesn’t really fit modern audiences. Most of the Disney Princesses are still popular with kids, but Snow White seems to be the least popular for a reason. Everyone whining needs to realize the world has moved on and stop being so scared of change.
It’s not being scared of change. It’s taking away any pride a white person is allowed to have. We can’t be upset about anything either. Changing Ariel was one thing. She’s a mermaid, who cares. Change genie. He’s a genie, who cares. This character’s name is snow white because her skin is white as snow. I like the earlier comment about changing princess and the frog. All hell would break loose. They made Michael b Jordan the human torch. While he did well(I’m a big fan of his) and I’m not complaining, what if they made Blade a white guy? It’s all double standard bs.
Wrong about everything. Nothing is outdated. Zegler has zero talent and her performance in West Side Story had Natalie Wood spinning in her grave. I look forward to the return of the classic Studio System and movie stars being literally owned by the studios like MGM again. Back to the days of Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Mickey Rooney, Lana Turner, Hedy Lamarr, Gene Kelly, and of course Judy Garland. Zegler will be quiting acting behind over it and I look forward to her taking part in a mass retirement of actors over the return of the Studio System unless she is willing to have the studio chiefs keep her under strict control in what she says and create her image for her. There is no such thing as “modern audiences” either. The world has not moved on and is over. It’s the 20th century and always will be. Disney needs to get it head back in the 20th century and will when I take over.
I think you going to have the best seat in the house, and all the leg room you could want, by yourself in that empty theater. The point is they could have told a girl boss story where she doesn’t need a man to save her, with all the magical creatures in the forest, just leave Snow White alone.
Snow White has an image, standard and historical importance that is being 💩 upon by this.
I agree. I prefer original stories. It is riskier to modernize such stories like Snow White. I like the song Whistle While You Work, the original version, and it was lovely.
That back story makes no sense. If she was born in a snow storm, shouldn’t she be called Stormy or something? Where does the White come in? If she was born in a rain storm would she be called Rain Wet?
I hope this movie flops big time! I would normally wish Disney well, but not in this case. I will never watch it. Even when it makes it to TV, I will switch the channel.
Unsurprisingly, the overwhelming majority (all minus one) of people commenting here have zero expectation regarding this movie.
It should serve as a massive warning for Disney: you are losing everything that made this company good.
As for the person who wrote the article: “Modernizing” a classic has never worked… that may be why it became a classic?
It is even less likely to work for a group of people (the “woke”) who will find a way to feel offended and miserable anyway.
Hi Ho Hi Ho
This Movie’s Gonna Blow!
I can’t wait to avoid it!
Peter Shrinkage depried 7 actual Little People from getting coveted roles, and their break in ‘Show Business’. As long as He’s Got HIS, that’s the important thing. How big of him.
Zegler is Box Office Poison
As for Peter Shrinkage, he selfishly deprived 7 actual Little People from coveted roles. And perhps, their break in Show Biz. As long as he has HIS, that’s what’s important. How big of him.
OMFG, Disney is in panic mode and will spin things anyway they like, and hope people buy into it! Are people that easily duped?? The heart of the company is classic fairytale storytelling. Not a bunch of PC/Woke nonsense which is turning a lot of people off including me. BTW … translation of “modern audiences” is “a current trend of whiny, crybaby snowflakes!”
So they changed the origin of her name because white skin is offensive? Because being a very fair white female is bad? Would making a movie based on a very dark female character who’s named as such be offensive? No, its not! We should embrace all race and ethnicity and stick to original stories that were loved and adored for so long. This movie isn’t a live action snow white, it’s an entirely different movie, so I don’t have any excitement or nostalgia for it. Especially since the actress insulted the original story and a large group of the viewing audience.
I look forward to seeing Lilo and Stitch. I hope it’s as good as the original.
Snow White, however, will not be seeing my cash. I disliked having the dwarves be mythical creatures. I hate the cgi of the dwarves. I dislike the choice of actress knowing she hates the original story. And I hate the change of story. I will never watch this movie.
As of January 6, 2025, I am skeptical of all Disney remakes, for they are trying to milk cash out of them so hard that I don’t want to even see them if they fail to capture the magic of the originals. I am more into original stories, because I do have a spirit of exploring and adventure.
Zegler is a talented actress, Disney should have left it at that, and warned her to keep her opinions to herself or return her paycheck. Instead in many ways, Disney shoved their harsh view of our society down our throats because they know better than we do.
Can’t have it your way forever!
As Bob Dylan said, “the times they are a-changing!”
You all sound like frightened, immature adults who fear your privilege and entitlement is being taken away, when you in reality have no more rights than anyone else.
Who cares whether you see the movie!
You all complain about anything often what makes you uncomfortable and think the world should cater to you!
You’re hatred, racism is rearing its ugly head!
Just get over it , get a real life and read a book!
Here’s one problem. You don’t know what percentage of people are really racist. Yeah, Snow White may fail, but it’s not the racist’s fault. The real people that don’t wanna watch Snow White are those who don’t like remakes. I hate remakes because they don’t capture the magic of the original. Don’t complain that those who hate Disney’s new Snow White are frightened, immature adults who fear that their privileges and entitlements are being taken away. No. You are looking at the wrong people. You need to be doxxed for your stupid opinion. Disney should have cancelled Snow White, lest their reputation will be ruined by non-racists like me.

What’s the point of being diverse? It doesn’t bring anything to the story. If there are those who need their hurt feelings assuaged, no doubt there is some unwoke çounselor who will be willing to get their business.
