Someday a good Disney remake will come … but this isn’t it. The modern Disney Co. shouldn’t have remade “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” — it has lost the innovative genius, the artistry, and the appreciation for Western classics that made Walt Disney’s original film one of the most iconic and beloved movies of all time.
Yes, I know, everyone is tired of hearing about Rachel Zegler, the Wokest of Them All, but since the original Snow White (still one of the highest grossing films of all time) is a personal favorite of mine and it’s the weekend, let’s examine what used to make Disney movies great,

A brown Snow White? Pandering at its best!

John Nolte at Breitbart.: "If you must see this movie, the good news is that there’s no gay stuff, and I suggest you leave right after the poisoned apple drops Snow White dead. That way you at least get a satisfying ending."

Casting a non-white person in the role of Snow White is the first clue that this is a total stinker. The shareholders at Disney need to fire the people who are wasting hundreds of millions on unwatchable and unwatched movies and hire some folks who can make a good, popular movie or two.

They should have made a Parody of the original called 'Coal Black and 7 Gangstas'. It would have been a hit.

I wouldn't watch this tripe if you paid me.
To poster #3, I think the Disney shareholders approve of this - they seem to be content to allow DEI and woke ideology to waste their money. I wonder if any of these shareholders are the same private equity firms that are killing businesses like JoAnne's Fabrics, Forever 21, Big Lots, and others...?

Reading left leaning news and conservative leaning news yields different results. Yahoo News said Snow White was on track for a $45 million opening weekend, although admitting it might be an uphill battle to recover the $250 million budget for the movie. I trust conservative media as much more accurate but both sensationalize for their audience.

Rachel Zegler has a beautiful voice. It's a shame she is such an immature and hateful young woman. I will admit I am not that fond of Snow White the cartoon. I admire it and it has some really good songs, but it's not one of the Disney cartoons that I love. My favorite is Dumbo. I hope Disney gets back on track, I remember it when it was a great company.

Maybe they should start paying their workers who make these movies in stock grants.

#6, that reported $230 million budget was the original. It's had multiple new scenes shot, the horrible CGI added, lots of editing after every failed test screening, and that doesn't include about $100 million in advertising. Disney never reveals the true budget until it is legally required to in their end-of-year financials. Considering the studio only gets a portion of the ticket price, it's going to be one of their biggest bombs of all time.
Now, if Disney wanted to make money, all they had to do was re-release the original. People want good, clean movies they can take their kids to.

If anybody deserves to lose tens of millions of dollars because they are woke, stupid and a bunch of pedophiles, it's Disney.

What the Disney corporation has done to itself is beyond sad. Anyone born before about 1961 will remember The Wonderful World of Color, which became The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night before Ed Sullivan. We all watched and became used to Walt Disney's voice and his avuncular ways. The entertainment provided by Mr. Disney and his talented artists was always moral and decent. On this nws forum more than twenty years ago, there was an article about great Americans. On my top ten was Walt Disney. Everyone agreed.

RE #12:
I was born in 1964 and I well remember the Wonderful World of Disney. Like our weekly meatloaf and mashed potatoes, it was our Sunday night staple. We never missed it.
One of my favorite childhood movies was an Angela Lansbury movie called "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." Frankly, I'm glad that it has been ignored or forgotten by the Hollyweird / Woke Disney folks these days. They would absolutely ruin it!!

This is a good read for the weekend. Thanks for posting, OP! Indisputably one of the greatest Americans who ever lived, Walt Disney was a genius in so many ways.
People forget how important Snow White was, what a enormous artistic and financial risk it was, and how completely it enchanted audiences of its era. I believe one reviewer said something like this at the time: "We should be grateful to live in a time when something like Walt Disney's Snow White exists."

Disney must be making a boatload of money off of their old movies and/or theme parks, since all their current films have been flops. Stockholders must be using Disney as a tax write off.
