Do you know what a non-disclosure clause is? Your statement makes no sense.

For what its worth all the parents, but mom and dads alike, at my screening last night looked like they were into the movie. And all the kids were under 12, so that fits with what was said in the Deadline article (the one I original quoted
)

Shareholders care about making a profit you know this.
If Disney could control their movie budgets they could make the movies they want and keep their Stakeholders happy and at the same time keep their Shareholders happy by making movies that are profitable.

“But she called the prince a stalker!”
This is the prince who doesn’t have a name and isn’t in the film long enough to invoke the stalking laws.
He shows up, Snow White looks and him and it’s true love. Presumably the guy in the remake has to work at least a little harder. Apparently that’s offensive.
Come on, guys. How little effort are you willing to expend in the name of true love?

I don’t think it’s outrage, I think people make hard choices on what movies they see at the theater.
It’s expensive to go.
Someone doesn’t like what a lead actor says, trailer doesn’t hit the right feels and that family chalks it up as a No Go and moves on with zero emotional attachment.
I think it’s possible families are looking for excuses not to go because of cost.
Cost for family of 4
Standard Theater (e.g., AMC, Regal):
• Tickets: $12–$15 each → $48–$60 total
• Snacks (optional):
• Large popcorn: $8–$10
• 2 large drinks: $6–$7 each
• Candy: $4–$5 each
• Combo (popcorn + drinks): ~$20–$25
→ Snacks total: $25–$40
Estimated Total:
• Without snacks: $48–$60
• With snacks: $70–$100+
Premium Theater (IMAX, Dolby, Reserved Recliner Seats):
• Tickets: $15–$20 each → $60–$80
• Snacks: Similar or slightly higher than standard
→ Total: $80–$120+

The Prince makes out with a corpse. That has to count for something.“But she called the prince a stalker!”

Shareholders care about the overall profitability of the company, not individual movies. As long as the overall entertainment division is profitable, which it has been, they don't care if movies go over budget.

Right I forgot that he “saves” her by kissing her. Didn’t even have to slay a dragon.
Some heroic guy there. Can’t slight him!

I don’t know? Ask my wife. Why do many women love that scene? What makes it so iconic?“But she called the prince a stalker!”

I gotta give this one to you.
Fact is, the only stock in my portfolio in the green at the moment is Disney.
And the fact is, the reason I keep Disney is because I am a fan of the company even though I disagree a lot with what they do at WDW and in the movies.
I do think Disney is too big to fail.

Yes, it's a masterpiece that revolutionized film and I love it.
Yes, it's a product of its time and there are a lot of things to make fun about it.
Both these things are true. Being a fan means being able to acknowledge both. In fact, anyone who professes to love Disney but can't acknowledge the silly or even bad things about Disney isn't so much a "Disney Fan" as a 'Brand Loyalist."
This goes to a broader point. You don't show your love for something by angrily refusing to acknowledge its faults and lashing out at people who are honest about it. The "love" that that produces is a shallow, meaningless shell of a thing. The good doesn't matter as much without the bad.
This is true of patriotism as well, of course.

The thing is that not everyone agrees its actually "trashing" the original.

Fairytales are about symbolism, they are not meant to be taken literally. This attitude is why we don't get good fairytale movies anymore.

That wasn't making out, it was a tender kiss goodbye.

For a girl he only met for 30 seconds. It wasn't a long relationship is the point, especially not one that would warrant the need for a "goodbye kiss" as if he was a grieving widow.
