They don't want to compete with Ben Shapiro's Snow White next year. Smart move.

Sure, I'll bite. I don't think the prince is stalking her at all. The Walt Disney versions of these stories are meant to be wholesome, with positive intent. She's acting with bad intent, coloring the actions and stories with her own negative viewpoint.

It's like the whole baby its cold outside thing. The song clearly has a meaning, but people have started to try and paint it in a negative light based on how they wanna see things.

Disney on Friday announced it is delaying the release of its live-action Snow White movie starring Rachel Zegler by a year from March 22, 2024 to March 21, 2025.
Wow, okay. So I thought "We're not getting it until next year then". Nope! We were supposed to be getting it next year, now we're getting it the year after next!

Is anyone even going to still care by the time Disney finally shits this one out?

I mean, their marketing tactic of shitting on the original is certainly a choice.

While this is true, they are absolutely a product of their time, and said intent that may have once been seen as "wholesome" may not actually have been so wholesome. Was their intent in how they portrayed certain people, like natives, or the jive talking crows, seen as problematic back then? No. But over time, it became accepted... Yes, that view WAS a bad view to have. And we can accept... Okay, they obviously didn't think it was bad at the time, and we're looking back with a lens, but that doesn't mean you can't talk about it.

Basically, certain things that were seen as "wholesome" back then were "wholesome" based on what was normalized at the time, which doesn't mean it's literally, inarguably wholesome. So there's clearly room for discussion, there, and trying to just shut it down seems much worse than the actual discussion, itself.

The prince is barely in the movie... he shows up at the beginning to flirt with Snow White at the well and that's it. And it's obvious from their interaction that Snow is infatuated with him. Then he shows up again at the end to wake her up. Saying he stalks her is just blatantly untrue, so Rachel is either confused or deliberating misconstruing the movie. :v

I don't think it's that crazy to suggest they should have found someone who actually appreciates the legacy of the original to play Snow White. But I'll admit I'm biased since it's my favorite childhood movie...

Nah, man, Rachel was probably coached to talk about it like that. Disney's strategy for promoting the live-action movies is that they are more modern and "fix" the original animations.

I don't remember the prince stalking her in the movie tbh. I think they meet three times with the second meeting being them setting up a date and then when he shows up for it she's dead and he literally brings her back to life with a light kiss, which is super problematic. She should definitely have stayed dead.

Maybe I'm misremembering the film. Been a few years.

Right, but I'm not talking about clearly racist depictions of things and you know that. I was making a general statement which applies in this scenario. I don't think pointing out the flaws in her statement counts as shutting things down.

It easily looked like their worst live production yet.

They usually do well in the end though, I think even the Lottle Mermaid made profit from overseas.

That looks pretty bad. Not only the CGI, but the aesthetics. Guessing the year is to polish fx AND let some steam blow over from Zeglers comments.

Also you cant really claim theyre doing a latina snow white when shes only 1/3 hispanic and her dad is Polish?

What about the early pictures that showed regular ass humans in trash clothes and called them "creatures"?

I might be wrong but it looks to me from the picture that they're all varying sizes and that's how they're getting around that progressive shitcan.

No, he was pissed about them hiring little people actors.

Also why does Grumpy look like Tommy Lee Jones?

Snow White was never their best animated movie -- except when it was their only animated movie. Their second film, Pinocchio, is honestly the better movie. And that film has been topped several times.

I don't have any interest in seeing this film. I don't begrudge any of the actors getting roles. It just seems a little forced to have Snow White with a medium dark complexion (unless they want to make her HAIR white as snow) and tall "dwarves." I think Disney is letting the social media version of social justice dictate their decisions a little too much. I mean, King Triton had to wear a shirt in the live action Little Mermaid? Seriously? We've gotten to the point where the male chest is offensive?

Most of what you see on social media is blind outrage. You have people espousing their bigotries with no consequences. You have people getting upset because of personal entitlements. And you have people who are using social injustice as an excuse to be angry when they're most likely outraged over other things. You can't stay ahead of people who want to be offended.

If anyone is moved to true passion over Snow White, I feel bad for them. And I'm a guy who flips a table whenever an anime or comic book character gets a visual downgrade.

I suppose strictly mathematically if one parent is half hispanic and the other is 1/4 hispanic the offspring would be 0,375 hispanic. Which I suppose with a little good will could be called a third.
