The live-action of Snow White continues to disappoint her fans and with this first look they gave us, it was worse… On social networks, the majority of users did not stop criticizing and making fun of this film because of the appearance of the characters, ensuring that “they are horrible.” Furthermore, they point out that this adaptation of the Disney classic is another story (like The Little Mermaid with Halle Bailey) of forced inclusion, which no one wants to see.
People argue that it is not that it bothers them to see a person with dark or light skin, tall or short, it is simply terrible that what we already know is not respected, not even the history, so they made it very clear that it will be a movie that they won’t see either.
“This film will not be successful, but they will blame people for being ‘racist’, but when will they understand that if the character is white it was not because they were racist, but because his name comes from there”
“Disney wants to put horrible characters, they already lost me”, “Here we go again, a new inclusive and horrible movie”
“Doing live actions is not very suitable for Disney”
“Dwarves are perfect for making memes”, you can read between the comments.
Fans reject the cast of the live-action Snow White
For months after the live-action of Snow White was announced, most fans rejected the cast. First of all, Rachel Zegler has been chosen as the protagonist, since they claim that “she is nothing like the original.” Another issue they addressed was that Disney wants to be very inclusive, but for the seven dwarfs, they did not give short people a chance. This is due to an image that was spread on social networks and that they later said was fake.
Now, with the first official look at the film directed by Marc Webb, it is proven that these characters were created with the help of technology and are not real. Furthermore, cruelly, users criticized that Gal Gadot was chosen as the Wicked Witch, since, according to her in the story, although she was a beautiful woman, she should be nothing more than Snow White.
The story also took a completely different turn, as this fairy tale will portray something very different:
“(Snow White) She is not going to dream of true love (…) She dreams of becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her she could be if she was not afraid if she was fair, brave and sincere,” Rachel Zegler told Variety in September.
Rachel Zegler responds to racist criticism
Zegler asked on X, formerly Twitter, to stop the racist comments against her and thanked those who have expressed all their support. The actress said that she no longer wants to engage with the “nonsense discourse” that surrounds her when she plays Snow White.
The 22-year-old tweeted on July 15: “Extremely grateful for the love I feel from those who defend me online, but please don’t tag me in the meaningless discourse about my choice.”
When will the live action of Snow White premiere?
The premiere of this film was scheduled for March 22, 2024; However, due to the strike of actors and screenwriters in Hollywood, the date was modified to March 21, 2025. While fans ask Disney to stop “ruining childhoods,” they are convinced that live-action is perfect for spreading its message of inclusion. Do you agree with them?
