Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[Chi84]

You find it unbelievable that people would be upset at an actress who trashed the OG snow white movie while filming the new one, took public shots at her costar, is anti-Israel (at a minimum), and told millions of people that they do not deserve peace? Weird.

I saw and heard everything she said about the OG Snow White and she said nothing whatsoever that came anywhere close to “trashing” it.

I find it strange that people care about the political opinions of movie actors. But I guess that’s who we attach importance to these days.

But if you did agree with my premise, it would make sense for some people to be upset about it, when presented to them, right?

Why is it strange? Actors have a megaphone. People are going to hear that and will have their opinions. This is a Disney forum, so we are going to talk about it.

Even if I accepted your premise, the vitriol expressed by some posters here (much of it deleted as the thread progressed) is not normal adult behavior in my experience.

You guys really need to find better sources of information. The video is from last December.

 

[LittleBuford]

"Insufferable" is only one word to describe this.

Then why are you choosing to suffer? Why are you guys so obsessed with someone who need not have even the slightest bearing on your lives?

I find it unbelievable/hilarious how some people have lost their minds over a Disney movie and the actress they hired.

It’s quite surreal, isn’t it? I think they spend more time following and thinking about her than her actual fans do. And now they’re having to dredge up and misrepresent old videos just to keep the outrage going.

Outside of this thread she doesn’t get a moment of thought from me, I wish we had more interesting things to talk about but unfortunately we’re in a major Disney drought at the moment.

ETA it’s so sad to open this webpage and click “what’s new” only to see the same half dozen threads listed every single day.

 

[LittleBuford]

In fact, the December 2023 clip I found is itself excerpted from a longer (and presumably older) video. Who knows when or why it was originally filmed? That doesn’t matter, though, for the purposes of the present discussion. It took me all of 60 seconds to determine this was fake news.

Are we? There’s plenty going on at the moment in the world of Disney. Plus even if there is a drought, we don’t have to fill the void with fake news and manufactured outrage about Zegler.

Haunted mansion gift shop, DCL treasure, and upcoming movies… that’s all that’s new to discuss right now. The rest is rehashing Lightning lane for the millionth time, how quickly VQs sold out, etc. This is my go to website when I’m bored but there’s just not much to discuss right now.

Because it's hysterical! You couldn't make this up if you tried, and it's very funny to watch play out.

The current video going around on X today is a year old, but she's addressing her Snow White PR mess she created. And it's comedy gold. She's just like the Winged Victory statue, and everything she does in the future will create lines of people to witness it. She's just that good at what she does.

This is entertaining to watch. So much of today's media is so painfully scripted and tightly controlled by dogma, that it's genuinely entertaining when a self-absorbed starlet turns herself into a loose cannon like this.

I doubt I'll go see Snow White in a theater, but the pre-show so far from Miss Zegler is fabulous!

You actually don’t know that. Until I corrected you, you were fooled into thinking the video had to with the current “controversy”.

How about this. When this thread first started I watched the 1937 animated movie. My first thought was that if Disney faithfully reproduced that movie and released it in theaters today it would appeal to no one.

That’s not to say the original is not a sweet fairytale brought to life in a groundbreaking work of animation. It is.

It’s just that modern audiences have changed. My 5-year-old grandson wouldn’t have even made it through the prince’s song. The dwarfs are portrayed as child-like (being forced to wash up if they want supper). The movie is one that was made for its times 87 years ago. It is mind-numbingly slow in its pace.

I figured that the new Snow White would be based on that character but would be updated for current audiences.

Then the craziness started and no one know what is coming out in March.

CGI-tastic.

My only issue with the movie is that they didn't cast little people because of Peter Dinklage. I wish Disney hadn't caved on that. But if the movie gets good reviews I will go see it and bring the grandparents along.

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.
