Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[BuddyThomas]

Grain of salt, but:

So in other words, we got to spend months and months listening to people whine and complain about a perceived issue that never even existed in the first place. Fantastic.

The makeup artist? What about the bus driver?

It's also being confirmed by Grace.




The Bandits were reportedly always part of Jonathan's group, likely built as a parallel for Snow White's group.

Sounds like it. Of course everything should be taken with a grain of salt, on all sides.

But it would make sense, especially if they want to build more in common between Snow White and Jonathan, like they did with Ariel and Eric.

Iger: "The backlash is getting out of control. We got to lose the magical creatures and bring back the dwarfs!"

Producers: "But the photo of the magical creatures is already out there!"

Iger: "I dont care, just fix it!"

Producers: "Ok, ok...... We take the magical creatures and turn them into bandits."

Iger: "There are bandits in the Snow White story?"

Producers: "Now there are! It doesn't matter, our story is so different, it doesn't matter, as long as we can still call it Snow White we are good!"

Sure it never existed. I believe that. And the movie being delayed a year is just a coincidence. Yes I believe that too.

Alternatively, say nothing at all because the movie has dwarfs.

As far as additional characters and story lines, I sure hope there will be some or we’re in for a lot of scenes of sweeping, dishwashing and “But I don’t want to wash up before dinner!”

Hollywood is known for their truthfulness. So maybe I’m wrong.

Grain of salt, but:

I suppose we'll know definitively once the film comes out. I'd be very glad to be proven wrong in my earlier assumption.

Then it seems I was wrong. Mea culpa.

I still think the CGI dwarfs look pretty off!

Alternatively, if they were always bandits, the moment the photo leaked, tell us there are the bandits and release the photo like above with the dwarfs behind Snow White. Somebody made that, why didn't they do this several months ago to clarify, IF ITS TRUE.

Both the leak and not immediately clarifying the confusion is Disney's fault.

 

[Disney Analyst]

I suppose we'll know definitively once the film comes out. I'd be very glad to be proven wrong in my earlier assumption.

I tend to lean to the idea that the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one.

Was Disney really going to do a version of the film without the 7 Dwarfs, when those 7 characters are pretty much the heart of the original film?

When Disney mentioned consulting with the community, that more than likely meant to forge the best path towards representing these characters, and at least showing they understand there could be criticism.

Or it could be the conspiracy some (not you) are pedalling on here, that they were indeed replacing them completely, have suddenly changed course, and will now need to reshoot every single scene between Snow and those 7 characters, OR work really hard on editing out every actor to replace them with a CGI version...

Disney doesn’t tell anybody anything. It’s been that way since I can remember.

That’s why there are entire threads on multiple sites devoted to how long you can park with a dinner reservation and whether an annual pass holder can take their family through the dedicated entrance.

Disney’s not going to respond to every goofy idea the internet comes up with, especially given some of the nonsense sites spreading this speculation.

I did a google search and there were sites reporting it months ago, but they were reporting it as a replacement of the dwarfs, not an addition to the story.

Disney's 'Snow White' Remake Reportedly Replaces Dwarfs With Bandits

It appears that Disney's live-action take on Snow White will reportedly replace the iconic dwarf characters with bandits.

Exactly. Why should any production, Disney or not, be forced to reveal story points for an unreleased movie, based on tabloid fodder.

Does anyone here realize why movie companies keep key plot devices secretive?

Seems the latter is the simplest explanation.

In the end, everything must be taken with a grain of salt. These things tend to come out, eventually.

You see, I don’t think that’s the simplest explanation at all. In light of Disney’s statement after Dinklage’s criticism, of the non-mention of dwarfs after the leaked pictures, of the actors’ repeated references to how different this version of the story will be, and of the shoddy look of the CGI image released the other day, the simplest explanation to my mind is that the dwarfs were hastily and just recently added. There are only two reasons I’m beginning to think I may be wrong in this assumption: first, it would make little sense for those involved in the film to lie about the bandits and dwarfs being parallel groups, since such a lie would soon come to light; and second, Zegler herself referred to Dopey in her Entertainment Weekly interview, as I discovered last night.

That still leaves the test-screening comments to consider. These were emphatic in identifying the dwarfs and bandits as one and the same group, and they made no mention of CGI dwarfs. And so, despite my earlier mea culpa, I’m still not really sure what to think. A few possibilities:

- The dwarfs were indeed always included, in which case the test-screening comments are made up or garbled. Why Disney would have kept this in their pocket till now is still beyond me, however.
- The dwarfs were recently added and will be appearing in addition to, rather than instead of, the bandits, in which case the insider comments are glossing over the truth.

All of which is to say that I’m thoroughly confused.

One thing I can state with confidence: Disney could have handled the publicity around this film much, much better than they have (and I’m not referring to Zegler’s interviews, which don’t bother me in the least).

It’s all very confusing, that I can agree.

Are the Dwarfs in the original Snow White meant to be actual humans with dwarfism who work in mines? Or are they... something else?

I’ve always thought of them as the mythical creature dwarves, not people with dwarfism dwarves.
