Heigh-Ho, to the Dustbin It Goes: Disney
Shouldn’t Have Remade Snow White at All

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,

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." https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/03/22/nolte-snow-white-and-robert-de-niros-the-alto-knights-look-like-box-office-bombs/

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...? greyseal

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.

#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.

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.

Las Vegas police arrested Paul Kim, 36, related to his “targeted attack” on a Tesla center. Per Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: Las Vegas Metro Police say a search of Tesla firebombing suspect Paul Kim’s social media shows him with potential communist & pro-Palestine affiliations. They say they have a DNA match and showed video of him using a rifle to shoot out surveillance cameras before attack.

The Paris Climate Agreement was flawed; doomed to fail from its inception. It is long past time for all parties to it and the media to acknowledge this fact. The mainstream media have bemoaned the Paris Agreement’s fate since Donald Trump’s reelection. Trump took the United States out of the Paris Agreement during his first term, and vowed to do so again after President Biden put America back into the agreement. While Trump withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement was a visible and public rebuke of the pact, undermining its “effectiveness,” in point of fact, the agreement was dead even before the ink of the last signature

Donald Trump's 2024 election victory over Kamala Harris is one of the better things that has happened in our nation for some time, and all of the various benefits of that win are still making themselves known. One of the areas in which Americans will benefit from this is in energy, and in Alaska, that benefit will be felt not only in reduced energy prices, but in jobs. Alaska's economy depends in large part on mining and energy development, and on the North Slope, where many of Alaska's Native communities are found, as much as 95 percent of the local economies are dependent on oil and gas development.

After four long years during which our democracy was under constant peril, one might say the November election cured that crisis, at least for now, returning the American voter and American values to center stage. Zealots of the Left, however, continue their tired chorus of accusation and cancellation. It is staggering how blind to election results and deaf to the voices of voters they seem to be. Wokeness may be in retreat but this core cadre, still including many in legacy media, continue their ranting about existential threats and trying to shame us into shedding crocodile tears over illegals.

Quite the statement, eh? Let me explain. I’m well into my 60s and for my entire adult life I’ve heard that public school teachers are underpaid. It has been repeated as a mantra for decades. Ignoring for a moment whether it is true or not -- and the answer to that is generally, it depends -- let’s accept the mantra and analyze why public-school teachers are still underpaid after all these years. It’s not spending. As most voters know, it seems that every stinking year there is some ballot initiative or measure or legislative move to increase spending for our woefully underfunded public-school systems. It never seems to end.

Does President Trump understand how lucky he is with respect to his enemies? He probably does, which is why he keeps making traps and they jump in with gusto. We learned that Governor Tim Walz (Kamala's VP) sort of admitted that he made you know what out of himself with his Tesla comments. He was "joking" or something like that. I guess that someone told him that the teachers' pension plan has money in the new "evil" Tesla. Remember when something similar happened to Hillary Clinton years ago?

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. settles into his role as President Donald Trump’s health secretary, one major promise he’s made is still on table - banning pharmaceutical ads. Kennedy has been a longtime critic of the promotion of drugs on TV, and others high up in Trump’s cabinet and advisorship have agreed in recent months. Drug advertising on TV The backstory: Up until the mid-1980s, pharmaceutical companies gave information about their products only to doctors and pharmacists. Later that decade, some drug companies began giving the general public more direct access to the information, according to the FDA, leading to the advertising that we see on TV today.
