The Critical Drinker: Disney Cancels Snow White's Premiere

[iamwhatiseem]

Rachel Zegler is a product of Progressive indoctrination.
Academia and pop culture exploit young people's naiveté.
The Radical Left is impowered by racial and cultural hatred.

The left is driven by hate. Simple fact.
Consider the violence that has occurred in the United States in modern times. (Post 1900) Overwhelmingly left. Like 20-1

Or it's 2025, and we shouldn't be telling girls they need to wait for a Prince that's never coming.

Disney was kind of screwed either way.

If they did a faithful adaptation of the 1937 film, people would complain about the dated elements.

If they tried to modernize it, people would complain they are ruining a classic.

They tried to split the difference with massive reshoots and CGI Abomination Dwarves, and ended up pleasing no one.

Or keep the story true to form, and don't worry about the whack-jobs that make up 10% of the population.

Nobody wants to know an actor's political opinion.

They're done being political figures.

Which form is that?

Have you actually watched the 1937 version? It's kind of a dull movie, and the only reason it's remembered fondly today is that it was the first feature-length animated film, not the best.

it's only an 83-minute film. The characters are kind of flat and one-dimensional. Sure thise would have entertained CHILDREN in 1937, but even today's kids are more sophisticated than that.

As close to the original as possible, while still making it entertaining.

That's kind of a contradiction.

The original was dull, so you'd have to add something to make it more entertaining.

Snow White was the first Disney Princess, but she's probably the least interesting as a character.

This is where Disney was indeed in a trick bag. Keep it as it was, and you get criticized for retaining problematic elements.

Change it, and you get purists whining about how you are destroying their childhood memories.


Disney's remakes have been kind of hit and miss. This one was truly a misfire.

 

[JohnDB]

The problem here is that it's an outdated Children's story.

If they wanted to make the story true to the Brothers Grimm, the story should have ended with Gadot being fitted with hot iron shoes and forced to dance until she died of exhaustion. But that was too harsh for even the 1937 version.

The problem with a remake is that the 1937 story of "Some Day, My Prince Will Come", is not one anyone wants their little girls to aspire to.

The problem was that Disney tried to split the baby. They wanted to appeal to fans of both the original (not that there are that many) and also appeal to modern audiences.

So the Seven Dwarves got replaced by the Seven Bandits, (or as someone called them, the Seven Diverse Ren Faire rejects) and then they realized that wouldn't fly, so they shoehorned in the Seven Dwarves as CGI abominations.

Children love classic tales as old as time itself. The various themes are not new and are retold because they are a proven formula. (Underdog wins big)
But Disney is more interested in adult messages unsuitable for children. Which is why they are failing.
Mackey mouse is a cartoon character that's funny in classic cartoons because he dances happily while steering a boat....whistling and dancing. No DEI or anti-Christian or sexually themed messages necessary. Children loved it for decades. Parents, trying to appease children, allowed them to see it. Paying money the whole time.

Now the messages are about multiculturalism and all sorts of things.

Old Yeller was about a frontier family and a boy who gets a dog and has adventures trying to help his family while his father was away. Not a difficult theme. But Disney couldn't make that movie today....no room for any of the messages they wish to promote. Just the opposite. It inspires masculinity, overcoming adversity, success in mediocrity, Firearms, unwelcomed choices, and trad-wife role models.

No different from "Where the Red Fern Grows" .....

These are the classics which made Disney a success but they cannot reproduce today.

Yes, it is kind of sad to watch a bunch of incels get upset about a fairy tale princess.

Except no one wanted to see Public Domain Steamboat Willy Mickey. They made the character more advanced. Then they kind of stopped using him outside of kiddy entertainment. (ANimation originally was entertainment for adults as well as children.)

Well, they couldn't make that movie today because what everyone remembers is that they shoot a dog at the end. That movie was actually kind of a downer, which is why no one wants to remake it.

You are right.

They couldn't make Song of the South today. Too racist.
The racist crows in Dumbo would be a non-starter today.
As would the song in Peter Pan, "I know what makes the Red man Red".
Or the Siamese cats in "Lady and the tramp" (the ones with slanty-eyes, buck teeth and obnoxious accents.)

 

[Foxfyre]

Disney is so scared of Rachel Zegler saying something dumb and further damaging their movie, they've literally cancelled Snow White's premiere. No red carpet event, no reporters, no interviews.

What a cluster.

That said, they were destined for disaster when they cast Gal Gadot to ask the mirror "who is the fairest of them all" with an answer other than Gal Gadot.

The failure was casting Sid the Sloth as Snow White, because while Snow White doesn't need to more beautiful than the evil queen, she at least needs to be *comparable."

I'll just drop this right here. Awful I know but I couldn't resist.

Sounds like it's getting review bombed by the usual incels.

How many of them have actually seen the movie?

Now, I haven't seen the movie, and I don't feel like paying $20.00 to see it, even ironically.

I'll probably wait until it comes on Disney Plus, which I'm paying for anyway.

here's why Disney is going to keep doing this.

Little Mermaid (The one that everyone got upset the Mermaid was black) - Budget $240MM, Box Office $569MM
Mufasa - Budget $200 MM, Box office $719MM
Cruella - Budget $100MM, Box office $233MM
Lion King Remake - Budget $260MM, Box office 1.657 BILLION
Malificent: Mistress of Evil Budget 186 MM, Box office $491MM
Aladdin - Budget $186MM, Box Office 1.054 Billion.
Beauty and the Beast - Budget $250, Box office $1.266 Billion

Sure, there have been some misfires, like their overpriced Mulan Remake that didn't make any money because it came out during Trump Plague.

Evidently Zegler did more than bomb Snow White, she also ended her own career. Which could not happen to a more deserving person.

Or she'll just go back to theater, where he's probably be more comfortable, anyway.

She got paid 1 million for the role, plus residuals...

She's going to be fine.

She has made herself box office poison. She's had to run off to London. Good, the muslims there will love her.

you mean, she's affluent enough to go to London. I wish I could visit London.

Jealous?

Jealous?

Well, Zegler did do very well in the West Side Story remake. And she has a part in some London show. London is now very Islamic. Free Palestine and all that. She might stay there. She might have to stay there.

I'm not jealous because I don't travel. I worked for a London law firm for years and never went there.
