Well I don’t know if it’s considered a “value” but the parents I know do not appreciate pandering.

Sure it might be petty, but that's kind of how things go. If a parent who voted for Trump sees her comments that she wishes they never know peace and that they are a sickness... That's more than just politics, that's just being hateful. Why on earth would someone want to support that person? Even if their kids want to see it. So even if you don't think it should matter, there's a good chance it can.

She actually apologized for saying those words and explained that she let her emotions run away with her.
Seems that she would be a good role model for young children on how to handle things when they make mistakes.
There are many adults I know who lack the maturity to apologize even when they know they are wrong.

Which is why you need to add a qualifier when using “majority”, such as “majority of movie goers” or “majority of voters”.

Or “majority of posters on the Snow White thread on WDWMAGIC.”
I can appreciate your point of view and I know I’m going to get blasted for this, but here we go.
“skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony”
No other reason for this casting unless your looking to pander.
Unless you think we should cast Othello as a pasty white guy.
It’s just all nonsense to me.

Wait, didn’t you expressly say you were going to stop posting after you invited others to rebut your post acknowledging that you were breaking forum rules?
What was so offensive in the trailer…. I saw it….and it did not show us any beat that was not in the original film

I saw her in West Side Story and the recent Hunger Games movie. She’s quite talented.

Ok? Are you saying no one is offended? Because I can assure you that's not the case. It's not social media dictating anything. The point is the star of a movie insulted over half the country. It's a bit naive to think that it can't have an impact on the film. Don't you think?
I’m sorry but our perfectly civil discourse is bothersome to some posters.
It’s time to go back to discussing things like we are 8 years old. Time to play make believe that the elephant is not in the room and didn’t just take a giant dump.

There is nothing pandering or political at all about the Snow White trailer. All of the political controversies surrounding the new Snow White movie are due to circumstances surrounding the cast and creatives. All of the discourse the past few years about the movie have revolved around:
1. Peter Dinklage saying the dwarfs in the original movie are offensive and Disney changing the dwarves. This sparked a backlash from many feeling this is an example of political correctness run wild and backlash among real life dwarf actors who are upset that they now don't have a chance to act in these roles since Disney opted to create CGI abominations instead.
2. Anti-Israel/anti-zionists and progressives not wanting to support the film from Gal Gadot, who is from Israel and was in the IDF, as they feel it would be an endorsement of the attacks on Gaza.
3. Pro-Israel people not wanting to support Rachel Zegler for her support of Palestine
4. Fans upset that Zegler initially seemed somewhat criticial/dismissive of the original 1937 classic (I think her comments were blown way out of proportion)
5. Conservatives mad that Zegler wished all Trump supporters never know peace
6. Disney fans and film fans growing increasingly sick of the trend of live action remakes, feeling they are creatively bankrupt and a lazy cash grab.
I don't see how the movie could possibly overcome so much pre-release negativity from so many different sides. Even if it were a masterpiece (unlikely), millions of people are dead set on hating it no matter what due to external factors.
Wow,...just read Zegler's apology. Good job Rachel!
Alright, thank goodness that mess is over with. I'm glad the runway is now clear for takeoff.
It's good for Burbank to get those petty, little, pesky PR things out of the way.
The movie should be good to go now.

Okay, so if the giant elephant has finished his business, maybe we can go back to discussing the actual film.
One thing I'm curious about is the role of the love interest. The prince was in the original film for an exceedingly short time.
Going from a very short film to a longer, live-action version is going to be interesting in and of itself. Characters are going to have to be expanded.

Yes, in this hypothetical, the parent is lying about why they won’t take the kids to the theater to see the movie.
I think it was Walt that said, "its the parents that have the money" or something like that.
I tried to Google it, but since Google is no longer an actual search engine, no luck.
I’m sure she really means it.
It’s very unlikely from her previous comments that she is a hate filled radical.
Just a simple mistake, that if directed at a different segment of the population would have resulted in her being canceled and her life destroyed.
