The actors weren't suited up for motion capture.

You know what's funny?
No, not talking about the previous actors...just wondering if they will use new actors to do any motion capture work?

Despite the year delay, Iger will *still* be CEO when this gets released. Think they got a problem out in Burbank?

I think modern Disney is just bad at making films now but it's not like a race or culture makes a movie good or bad, it's the storytelling and writing.
Most these remakes are so bloated and miss the point of what made people like them in the first place.
You see this with Star Wars, some fans claim the movies are bad cause there is diversity, which makes no sense to me. It's all about writing.

yes. None of these “stand ins” have the telltale motion capture dots one often sees with fully realized CGI characters
this has ”Sonic’s teeth” written all over it

Hear me out: maybe those “magical creatures” for the earlier leaked photo are still in the film, but take on the appearance of dwarfs in certain circumstances? It still doesn’t account for how a multiethnic, gender (and height) diverse group looks like a homogenous group of garden gnomes.
This seems like the likeliest explanation I’ve seen so far:

So, as I've mentioned before, I've generally not seen these live action remakes in theaters but I will say that just the release of this image makes me like a hundred times more interested in seeing this film than what we saw before. So, shifting from "I guess maybe I'll check it out on Disney+ sometime to see if it's a trainwreck" to "maybe it might be okay and I'll pencil it in to watch as soon as it comes out".
Really curious if the storyline we have heard about has also changed to be closer to the original Disney film.

Honestly it looks like they typed 'Snow white and the seven dwarves, live action' into an AI generator and released the resulting photo. Now they'll spend the next year doing quick and dirty CG work to match it and fill in the scenes.

The live-action Snow White has reportedly been delayed to March 21, 2025.
Disney Delays ‘Snow White’ and ‘Elio’ a Year, Removes Jonathan Majors’ ‘Magazine Dreams’ From Calendar
Disney's Bob Iger and other Hollywood CEOs told SAG-AFTRA earlier this week that the deadline to salvage their 2024 theatrical slates is all but upon them.www.hollywoodreporter.com
This is hysterical! I can only imagine the panic and regrouping that must have taken place over the past four months to cause this rethink of the movie.
Now if they could just create an AI version of Rachel Zegler to send out on PR interviews without going off script, they'll be all set. See you in '25!

And also this from The Hollywood Reporter...
Disney Responds to Peter Dinklage’s ‘Snow White’ Live-Action Criticisms (Exclusive)
"To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community," says Disney.

Makes sense but it would have looked better to simply put makeup and prosthetics on real actors who are little people, and provided them work also.
The fact it’s CG feels like this is a last minute change to try to salvage a movie they knew was going to struggle at the box office.

At first glance I thought "Well, some of them aren't dwarves, they're taller than she is." But... nope.
Five of the Seven Dwarves are sitting or standing on top of a kitchen table, the same table that Snow is perched on. They're all dwarves and all much shorter than she is. Also, they are all of European descent now, all male, and all... dwarves.
Notice the table legs in the photo, to prove that these dwarves are standing on a table behind her.

The statement there said they were going to avoid reinforcing stereotypes, were taking a different approach with these seven characters and were consulting with members of the dwarfism community.Disney responds to Peter Dinklage's criticism of Snow White remake

Did Disney follow up with any statement that the seven characters would not be dwarfs as opposed to not being the type of dwarfs portrayed in the animated version?
