Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[donaldtoo]

To heck with this, I’m out.
So many more important things in life than this back and forth bickering.
I have a beautiful wife of almost 36 years, 3 wonderful grown children, 2 amazingly perfect young granddaughters, and the Holidays are right around the corner.
Sincerely…happy Holidays, and cheers to all…!!!

He took over a decent economy and made it a whole lot better for all.
And, nobody ended up in a concentration camp, reeducation camp, or getting executed.
Sorry that calling half the voters white supremacists, racists, Nazis, Hitlers, dictators, fascists, tyrants, etc., etc., etc, ad nauseam, didn’t work for y’all this time…not.
Better luck next time

Most people don’t believe that about half the voters….IMO most people voted for him because of inflation….I have a few co-workers that can’t stand him but voted for him anyway for this reason…. What people don’t understand is inflation is not going to decrease magically…. In fact prices are probably going to go up due to his tariffs…. The majority of the people don’t follow all the dangerous things he has said…unless your MAGA… but they adore everything he says

Most people don't understand Macroeconomics, let alone Microeconomics, but yet those same people vote as if they do. Prices are high due to a couple of factors, including inflation, of which we had a world leveling event that caused it to skyrocket. Add on top of that corporations taking advantage of that by gouging consumers and blaming it on that same inflation. Prices won't go back down, they'll only continue to go up. The only way they go down is with deflation, and the biggest driver of deflation is a recession or depression. Neither of which most people want because it starts affecting too many people due to losing jobs across almost all industries. Yet you have Elmo bouncing up and down on stage like an idiot saying you have to brace for hardship because of what they want to do to the economy, saying the quiet part out loud. So yeah buckle up, if what they say they plan to do actually comes to pass, well a whole lot of the same people that voted for this are going to be surprised with the outcome, as it'll end up affecting them the worst.

I like how the trailer was leaked for this... and no one cares. This film is doomed.

People seem to care about this film very, very much—we’re at nearly 200 pages of “discussion”. I grant you that it’s not the kind of care that’ll help it at the box office, but I’ve never heard such loud or voluble indifference in my life.

 

[LittleBuford]

I’ll take up @MoonRakerSCM’s challenge and talk about the trailer. I didn’t love it. There was nothing there that really struck or resonated with me—it seemed a pretty safe retelling of the original with a few twists that weren’t clearly enough indicated for me to have any real sense of what they would involve. My guess is that Disney is trying to avoid stirring further controversy and so opted to keep the trailer as middle-of-the-road as possible. The result fell rather flat for me.

I did like Zegler’s singing, though.

It’s playing in front of Wicked, so it really wasn’t a huge “leak”.

We were also predicted to have a recession… which never happened

The United States had a recession in the first quarter of 2020.

The United States had a recession in the first quarter of 2020.

U.S. recession ended in April 2020, making it shortest on record

The U.S. recession touched off by the coronavirus lasted only two months, ending with a low point reached in April 2020 after thestart of a sharp drop in economic activity in March of that year, the U.S. Business Cycle Dating Committee announced Monday.

Yes…I heard that…. Is that common for different studios to attach a trailer to another…. I am not talking about trailers movie theaters choose…. I am talking a studio seeking out another’s film… if anything I would of expected Snow White to attach to Moana

It makes sense to attach the Snow White trailer to Wicked, they're both fantasy musicals, they have the same demographic.

The only eye-catching bit of interest at the initial unveiling of this film was Gal Gadot as the evil queen. After that it has been one uninteresting stumble after another. The attempts at creating controversy and being edgy have not caused interest in seeing the film but something to talk about but not see, Meh. Once a film (not in theaters, Yet!) achieves that Meh status, wellll simply put not expecting any level of success.

Gal Gadot is actually my least favorite part of the movie so far. She was good in the first Wonder Woman, but in everything else I have seen her in, she lacks range. I also think she lacks the sinister edge needed for this role. Someone like Lady Gaga, who can have more of an intimidating presence, would have probably been better tbh.

Yes, its fairly common for many movies from different studios to play in-front of a rivals studios movie. If you notice most trailers for films usually have something in comparison with the main feature, whether genre or even target demographic, all based primarily on the 4 quadrant model.

I completely agree... there's a major 'lack of presence' to the Evil Queen. I like Gal Gadot but agree that she only has a certain range to her.

Ahhh…I always figured that movie theaters did that… Maybe through the different chains… as I noticed usually the last couple of trailers Are from the movie’s studio…. With the last trailer often being one that was just released in the past week

Just saw the trailer for this "Live Action" version. She's got a really nice song bit, which I like very much, but the CGI animals and dwarfs are Playstation 2 quality. I dont know anything about the plot, but the original fable she was ~ 7 and Disney's version about 14ish this one is much much older ... like the actresses real age.

 

[AdventureHasAName]

I can't help but notice that the "seven magical creatures" are nowhere to be found in this trailer ... which is impossible because we were told that the original plan was ALWAYS to have CGI dwarfs and the Seven Hobos of Benetton (who turn into magical creatures) and that anyone who said any different was just overreacting and knew nothing about about Disney's plans for the film.

I agree with you to some extent about the CGI, but I don’t understand your criticism of the aging up of the main character. The days of teen brides in Disney animated features are well and truly over, and I’m happy about that.

When you say “we were told,” who do you mean? Who told us?

The trailer doesn’t show everything; perhaps they’ll still feature in the actual film. (I say this as someone who also feels that Disney drastically overhauled the film to include the dwarfs.)
