The more they try to avoid offending anyone, the more they keep offending someone.

My favorite comment on the Snow White trailer from a few days ago was "Snow White and the 700, 000 dislikes."

Zegler doesn't seem to understand Snow White at all and nor do Disney. Snow White doesn't clean the dwarves' home in the original because she has to, because that's what women do, or because she looks down on them. At that point? She had no idea who even lived there. She found the dwarves' cottage and assumed, because she had no idea of the existence of magical beings, that the size of the furniture meant seven children lived there. As it was so dirty, she assumed they must be orphans with no one to take care of them properly or teach them how to clean, she decided then that she would clean it in the hopes they would let her stay and, if they didn't, at least it would be a nice surprise for them with the animals helping her because she was such a kind, gentle soul. When she finds out that its adult dwarves who live there? She apologises for intruding and pleads with them to let her stay - offering to cook and clean because those are skills she's familiar with which she knows they aren't good at.

Snow White doesn't portray women as weak or incapable. She isn't meant to portray them as fulfilling an assigned gender role, with a big strong Prince and a host of magical beings and animals to save her. She's showing people that kindness is its own strength. Kindness and teamwork. That, even though she has no martial or material skill, she has other qualities that are worth something just by being herself and that those qualities are in their own right something truly special. That people are, by being themselves, special. This is evident in the interactions she has with the dwarves as well - she happily accepts Grumpy as being his Grumpy self. She never once speaks down to him or treats him any differently to anyone else and the same with the other dwarves. Despite being magical beings, which some humans might think made them lesser, she treats them as equals.

She might not be the flashy, weapon-wielding, spell-slinging woman of action that other Disney characters are but she's as much a heroine. More so, in some ways, because she shows that little acts of kindness can be worth more than a sorcerer's spells, they're a magic of their own. Magic that Disney has, sadly, forgotten.

Movies don't flop because an actor gives bad interviews. Movies flop when they are bad.

"Im rooting for the poison apple 🍎 " is wild 💀

7 physically disabled guys just spent an entire day doing one of the physically toughest jobs in the world, find a woman who invaded their home and she intructs them to clean their house while she dances and sings.

Remember when Paramount released the first Sonic trailer and fans were horrified how they changed the design, and instead of doubling down Paramount said "You know, you're right. We DID mess up that design, but don't worry, we will fix it." And then it ended up becoming one of the most beloved video game adaptations of all time? Disney could learn from that.

[p.k.]

The worst part is instead of admitting their mistake... These companies try to cover them up!

Swapping a character’s gender, race, and/or personality doesn’t automatically make the remake better than the original.

I think people forget, or don’t even realize to begin with: this was Walt Disney’s baby. His premiere animation. They completely destroyed every shred of it.

[whywouldyoudothat]

Literally no one was ever offended by Snow White. Why did they even do this?

[wess]

Worst casting in history - like having a bald woman as Rapunzel.

[umegghju]

1. Disney destroys masterworks of classical literature
2. Disney destroys its own classical movies

[hannah.]

She doesn’t possess AT ALL the aura of innocence of Snow White. The vibe is so off. She would be a better cast as a villain. How can they mess up so bad?

[danstrikes]

They should have kept the real dwarves and replaced Rachel with CGI. Just a thought

[SevenEllen]

"False sweetness". You hit the nail on the head. She's off, she's condescending, and there's a tinge of meanness in the emphasis, her delay, and the mocking sing-song tone, "And HE'LL ... use ... the broom." It's as if she's taking malicious pleasure in using these people. If she'd been cleaning with them, it would show team work and her willingness to she's not afraid (in any context) to get her hands dirty. Her delivery of these lines would have been fine if she'd kept them polite and sweet like the original Snow, and I've no idea why the director heard her tone and "Yep. That's the take we want. That sounds right". Disney just doesn't care any more. This film might not have been a bomb if they'd taken care of it, but they trashed it.

She forgot the most basic rules of being an actor. Just act. We don’t care about your opinion.

[therealgrimreaper]

Why are typically feminine characteristics like kindness, compassion, caring considered ‘weak’?

[Jvde.k]

Unpopular opinion, as a black dude id rather watch a good all-white casted movie than a shtty “inclusive” one

[shademar]

Snow White when she met the Prince: "youre weird, weird, weird!"
Prince: "it's okay, im here to deliver an apple from your step mother and to make sure you eat it"
