Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

A novice like myself might suggest Disney start making some new princess cartoons (since those seem to make money).

Well there's this whole hereditary feudalisim thing to consider with the title of "princess"

You can make money in the childrens' entertainment industry ... or disavow hereditary feudalism ... but not both.

And I didn't see any backlash to the DC show, peacemaker. And that was way more front and center than Disney when it comes to this topic. And by most accounts that I can see, most say it's better than any of the D+ marvel shows, and I agree, Peacemaker was awesome.

I did see the usual YouTubers complain about Peacemaker being woke in the beginning but when it was too popular for the message to take off they backed away…they are selective about their woke content….Barbie is one of the most woke films I have seen in recent times…and they back off from that….although now they have a narrative that Barbie is ok being woke because it is a female brand…I don’t buy it…TLM is also a female brand…generally speaking, but somehow that is problematic….by the way I loved every moment of Barbie

Barbie is a fun movie, something thats been lacking in most of Disney's latest releases.

Peacemaker wasn't a show for children.

Never said it was….but what about TLM is not appropriate for children

The cartoon or the live action film? I haven't seen the live action film, so I'd have no idea.

See above

They do that already. And if these movies weren’t overall very successful then they would have stopped making them awhile ago. If you don’t like ‘em then skip ‘em.

Nope but it was a great show nevertheless.

Well then I have no idea what that had to do with my comment

Feel free to take my seat and enjoy

I did see it pointed out but I didn't really see any all out bashing of the show. And I think what you are saying points to the big elephant in the room for Disney. And that's, make a great product and most of this noise goes away.

I’m in as long as you buy the popcorn.

There's really only a couple dozen of us here actively discussing this, plus maybe a few hundred observers, but this guy has 1.8 Million followers and this video he just did has over 1 Million views in just the past 12 hours. So it's not just us.

He also seems to sum up the Snow White problem nicely, at that...

Again, I’m looking to get away from the debates surrounding the movies and asking people to speak specifically to their own, firsthand experience of recent Disney films they’ve watched. So far, no-one has responded.

So, just to confirm.... You are asking those among us here who are the many American parents who refused to take their children to recent Disney movies, to talk about their firsthand experience with a movie they did not see?

No.

The last Disney film (not Marvel, not Lucasfilm) I've seen was Jungle Cruise and I thought it was pretty good. Of course, I also thought the Lone Ranger was as good as the PotC movies, so what do I know? Before that it was Mary Poppins Returns (which was fine, but utterly forgettable) and Wreck It Ralph 2 (which was great). I stay away from movies I know I'm not going to like.

Thank you for your response.

I’m trying to get away from the contentious discourse that surrounds this topic and refocus our attention on the films themselves. Has anyone here who has actually watched one of the movies in question felt excluded by it? If so, in what specific way(s)? The claim is repeatedly made that Disney is alienating its traditional fanbase, yet no-one seems willing or able to describe how they have personally experienced such alienation while watching Disney’s recent output.

Personally? I don't think so, other than I really hate these live action remakes, so I'm just not seeing them. But, I also have never heard anyone complain that the original movies made them feel alienated either. Again, I think the issue for Disney has been they are creating too large a group of people who don't want to see it. Now it's not just people like me who just don't like these remakes, now you've got people upset that you are changing the original while keeping the title, and people upset at what they see as attacks on the original movies, and people who just are angry with all things Disney at this point.
