That would give me nightmares if I went to see it and I don’t think that’s what Disney is going for.
How bout not complaining? Is that an option?
I really don’t get the racism around her being Snow White. She literally looks exactly like the cartoon character. What a dumb hill to take a stand on.
Agreed. She looks like a typical white lady to me. In fact, I’ve seen plenty of people who call themselves white with darker skin.
This movie looks wrong on all accounts.
Why are adults still watching this? It’s a cash grab. Let the kids watch it.
It would definitely give me nightmares if I were a kid.
You don’t find those dwarves horrifying?
They don’t look good, that’s for sure.
I don’t get it, the dwarfs look white enough to me /s
Peter Dinklage can get seriously fucked for being directly responsible for this nightmare. Way to pull the ladder (and the stack of books you used to reach the ladder) up behind you, Pete.
He is in no way responsible for a movie he criticized. His entire point is that negative stereotypes are a thing and Disney should be improving in more areas than just skin tone.
Sorry I don’t understand how the article you linked implies what you’re saying. Is there some context I’m missing?
From my understanding, Peter blasted Hollywood for wanting to use little people to cast as dwarves. The little people actors in Hollywood were pissed at Peter because that’s like the only roles they ever get. Now instead of using real people they use CGI, so Peter basically stole seven roles from real actors in Hollywood.
So instead, they just… CGI’d dwarves? How is that any better?
I remember seeing promo or set photos of actual people that still didn’t seem much better.
WTF? There’s one actual dwarf there.
Also, this looks like cosplays from a ren faire.
Yikes, thanks for clearing that up.
Even if they insist on using CG for the dwarves, maybe don’t make them horrific nightmares?
When they went CGI they also took 6 roles from any actors because they are having one person do all the motion capture.
This is entirely Disney’s fault for missing the point about steretypes and making it about casting so they could hire fewer actors.
See Defunctland’s recent video addressing why Disney was so obsessed with animatronics…
I would, but Defunctland has a habit of making videos twice as long as they should be.
The Cliffs Notes version is that Walt thought actors were too unreliable and inconsistent. With perfected animatronics, who needed actors? Obviously it’s more nuanced than that but that’s the gist.
Peter Dinklage can get seriously fucked for being directly responsible for this nightmare. Way to pull the ladder (and the stack of books you used to reach the ladder) up behind you, Pete.
I fail to see how this is Peter’s fault… Especially with the article you’ve linked…

Kids don’t go to theatres alone, do they?
They should, but unfortunately today’s parents have been convinced that the world is extremely dangerous and that letting their children go outside to have adventures and build their confidence is “bad parenting”.
I don’t think it’s bad parenting to not leave a 5-year-old alone in a movie theater. Not unless you expect the theater staff to parent on your behalf if that 5-year-old gets bored and decides to leave.
Who said anything about five year olds?
The person above you said:
Kids don’t go to theatres alone, do they?
And you said they should.
Five-year-olds, last I checked, were kids.
Seventeen-year-olds, last I checked, were kids.
Pretty much entirely defeats the purpose of “live action”. There’s essentially 7 dwarves and four humans that are going to have any lines worth mentioning. So out of ten possible roles only four are actually live. At that point, just animate the damn thing lol
Aaaand then we’re back to Zemeckis’ mocap atrocities. Remember Beowulf? Remember his Christmas Story? shudder
Listen, we didn’t need to go there. Everything was perfectly bad in this thread and you had to make it ultra bad.
They made a Lion King “live action”. Words just don’t have meaning anymore
Ikr?
And a prequel to that version of the film is coming out this year. Sigh.
Wait. Do you mean to suggest those aren’t trained lions?! I can not, will not believe it!
