Has Disney Lost Its Way?

Much ado about nothing, driven by right-leaning Disney haters. The film was fine. I hated the CGI dwarves aesthetically. I wish more original stories were made. Everything is a remake. For all those upset about the changing details of a fairytale…newsflash: None of it is real

Boz you are absolutely right!!!

I went to see this last weekend with the grandchildren. You actually barely notice Snow Whites Latino skin and it takes nothing away from the story . There are plenty of white actors/ actresses in the film. The dwarves are CGI and therefore very like the original cartoon characters. I believe there were mixed reactions from the Achondroplasia community , those relieved because of the stereotype and bullying it causes and those concerned about work . The “Prince” is actually someone who is on the Royals side and wants justice and good but outcast by the wicked Queen and he and snowwhite meet and fall in love before she is poisoned and unconscious. In that respect the “ true loves kiss” is so much better as it is a two way street of feelings rather than the original where the Prince falls in love by spying on her and is actually a stranger…. That is rather creepy when you think about it in today’s world ! It practically follows the original story with just a couple of changes . Whilst certainly not the best film , the updates are appropriate and even required for the times we live in. At the end of the day it’s a fairytale and you can watch or not. You can still see the old cartoon too if you prefer.

Prince kissing snow white shows lack of consent? Really? Perhaps they should have had him giving the kiss of life and CPR..an educational film for children. What nonsense.

In the original the Prince “ falls in love” with snowwhite by hearing her sing and spying on her . The newer version shows them meeting and being together and mutually falling for each other which opens up the phrase of true loves kiss a bit wider.

Even so the kissing on the lips of an unconscious girl begs the question is that consensual ?

Quite agree
For me tho , the most awful thing , and I’ve seen no one else mention it , is the reason why Dopey has his name.
It was said he was a dope because he can’t talk !
Appears he was selectively mute which is actually an anxiety disorder
So many have this condition, especially children , and to be referred to as stupid is just horrible 😞

Thanks Jasudow, I haven’t seem the film but your summary tends to knock the complainers who haven’t seen it, out the window.

I think people are choosing not to watch it though that is the problem. PR wise it has been a disaster.

A bit like the Labour Party - where’s Alistair Campbell when you need him
