Is there any evidence they initially intended to cast little people other than Martin Klebba?
I would also have preferred live actors.

Here's the original video:
It was posted on Zegler's own YouTube channel in January 2023, long before her Snow White comments became the focus of so much feigned indignation.
To those of who you gleefully bought this fake news: that someone unearthed this video, misleadingly excerpted a clip from it, and then hoodwinked you into believing it was related to her comments of the other day should tell you a great deal about how artificial all of this "outrage" is. You are being taken for a ride by those who like to stir the pot and fan the flames of such "controversies" once they've started dying down. Some of you seem to enjoy the ride, but if that's the case, at least recognise that the problem lies as much in your appetite to dislike Zegler as it does in Zegler's impolitic behaviour. If you consider yourself a more sensible and reasonable person than her, then prove it through your actions. You don't have to be part of this endless cycle of online trolling and disinformation.

Welcome to the internet. And apparently you can say the same about her vitriol towards millions of people.

That’s sad. I think this site is quite a bit better than others, so maybe that’s why my expectations are higher. Most people on this site can discuss things without expressing hatred or extreme negativity.
As far as her comments, I don’t agree with them and she has apologized and admitted they were wrong.
Politics is such a heated subject that it isn’t supposed to be discussed here. But the hatred expressed toward this actress preceded her political comments.
Which gets me back to why I find it incredible that people can be triggered to such an extreme extent by a Disney movie. There were people hoping the movie will fail, wanting her never to work again, etc. - all before any political comments.

I think you’re exaggerating a bit.
One. I don’t believe she is sincere in her apology. Two, if she was, that doesn’t make it all okay. It’s a trend with her. This isn’t a one off.
Yeah. When she hated on the OG Snow White. And took shots at Gal Gadot. She’s accountable for what she says.

How did she hate on OG Snow White? What did she say about that film?

This really needs to be stressed. The anger towards her was as intense then as it is now, and all because of her comments about the 1937 film. She had said nothing negative about Gadot at that point; on the contrary, they seemed very chummy in the footage that people were getting so worked up over, with Gadot herself chiming in to say, "She's not gonna be saved by the prince!"
That Zegler has gone on to act very unwisely since those remarks (I'm referring to her apparent swipes at Gadot as well as to her political posts) serves those who dislike her well, as it offers retroactive justification for their intense hostility towards her. But that doesn't change the fact that their outrage predates Zegler's more egregious missteps by many months.

I’m sure the original video of her interview is in this thread somewhere.

Here's one of the interviews people were getting upset over (timestamped to where Zegler and Gadot start contrasting their version of the film with the 1937 one):
Two things to note that again underscore how artificially whipped up this has all been: 1) Gadot seems to be on the same page as Zegler but has not been framed as a hater of the original; and 2) no-one seems to have batted an eyelid when the interview first came out, and it wasn't until six months later that it was pounced upon and turned into a controversy.

But watch it. What did she say that was “hating” on Snow White?
If you call what she said “hating,” you have a lot of nerve saying I’m the one exaggerating.
Both actors were responding to the interviewer’s question of how the movie was bringing a modern edge to the Snow White story. She answered.

As far as I can tell, she apologized for making her comments public, and not that she was wrong for the way she feels. I’m sure she didn’t flip on a dime about how she feels regarding those that don’t think like her.
Andrew C

Ok.
Side note, there is the other video where she calls the prince a stalker and another promo where she said she could only watch the original once. Again, a trend. So yeah, it made some people upset.

Also remember that her education is lacking sufficient depth to place the original fable Sneewittchen into an appropriate historical context , specifically the 1550's where the average lifespan was only 30 years due to high infant mortality and the ever popular plagues. There was little social mobility outside of hypergamy. It was the bad old days after the fall of the Roman Empire.

"Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week. I let me emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse. This week has been emotion for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively towards a better tomorrow."
I'm not sure we can police people's feelings. She acknowledged she was wrong, which I thought is what her critics wanted her to do. My sense is that no apology would have been acceptable to those intent on disliking her.

It's a myth that people died significantly younger in the past. The average was brought down by the very high rates of infant mortality, but once you made it past childhood, you had a good chance of living to a ripe old rage.
Did Ancient People Die Young?
Many of us believe our ancestors lived much shorter lives than we do. Cutting-edge archaeology shows otherwise.

And, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale.
But, yes, from what I know of her at this point, I do not like her.

I dislike hyperbole and intemperate language and corrected my phrasing accordingly. We all make mistakes; the best any of us can do is try to address them. I’m not sure what you think you’re achieving by sharing that screenshot, especially when you yourself have deleted multiple of your own posts in the past few days.

With all due respect to OG Snow White, the prince didn’t have enough screen time to qualify as a stalker. There is no way you can make a present-day movie without giving him something to say and do.Ok.
Side note, there is the other video where she calls the prince a stalker and another promo where she said she could only watch the original once. Again, a trend. So yeah, it made some people upset.
Didn’t she say she watched it when she was young and was afraid? It’s not as though she said the OG film was exceedingly slow-paced and not all that interesting except for the music.

Exactly.
That’s why I deleted most of my posts over the last few days. We all make mistakes.
I don’t think I’m mistaken about how I feel, but it doesn’t need to be (and, theoretically, isn’t allowed here…although the last many days has been confusing in regard to such) expressed here.
I was just trying to make a point to you.
I’ll edit accordingly.

You hater!
Seriously, though, you need to rewatch it with a more appreciative eye. It’s a fantastic movie!
