Disney has postponed their live-action “Snow White” remake, which has been met with much criticism, until much later than previously announced.
The film’s star, non-white actress Rachel Zegler, has come under fire for criticizing the original film.
Disney revealed the following in a news statement on Friday:
“Disney’s Snow White—a live-action musical reimagining of the classic 1937 film—is coming to theaters on March 21, 2025. The film — which stars Rachel Zegler — invites audiences back into the magical world of Snow White with beloved songs and recognizable characters such as the Evil Queen and, of course, Dopey, Grumpy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy, Sleepy and Doc.”

The original release date for the film was March 22, 2024.
The SAG-AFTRA strike has been cited as a possible cause of the delay, while the firm may be trying to dial back the woke features that have proved so risky for businesses.

It also appears that Disney has scrapped their “diversity creatures” in favor of CGI dwarves that look similar to the original pic.twitter.com/czTsNllpJF

“Along with the news on Disney’s site, the entertainment giant shared a brand-new image from the film’s production that sparked speculation about why the movie was really being delayed,” Fox News noted. “The new image features Zegler as Snow White sitting around seven CGI dwarves that resemble the same characters from the original 1937 animated film. However, the image seemed inconsistent with Disney’s earlier statements that it was opting to replace the dwarves with seven ‘magical creatures’ to ‘avoid reinforcing stereotypes’ after criticism of the original depictions by ‘Game of Thrones’ actor Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism.”
I’m off today so my thoughts:
Cleary redoing almost entire film
Or at least replacing actors w/ CGI dwarves
Will it save movie?
Because the budget will now be astronomically bigger & will likely get #TheLittleMermaid box office if LUCKY
Probably not…#SnowWhite#Disney pic.twitter.com/rbbSHIkIop

There had been a wide range of figures of varied heights depicted in the film’s marketing materials as the “dwarves.” They’ve been digitally re-imagined as part of the current promotional picture.
Racism-flipped Disney The Little Mermaid was a recent box office failure.
Even South Park took on super-ultra-woke Disney during this week’s episode.
