No wonder why every Disney movie is flopping so hard and getting them into debt

I've honestly never seen that movie, never interested me. What's the plot and main characters? The queen is evil I know that, but what's Snow and the dwarves' deals? What's the message the movie tries to teach?
It just seemed like a boring kids movie to me, but if adults care about its integrity then maybe it's got more substance to it than I thought.
Well it's not released yet and they postponed the date
Probably they dropped it because they realised that this will be a big bomb ((
And they will get disappointed when people, especially the Disney kids don't watch it. Lmao.
The negative reaction from people has nothing to do with racism, but rather an inaccurate representation of the original characters. Kids won't even recognize the film as Snow White. They're planning to to the same with Tangled. I just wanna cry.
Disney is too stupid and vapid to just make likeable new content, so being "edgy" in the dumbest ways possible is their only card.
It also doesn't help that Rachel Ziegler (may be misspelling the last name) is an entitled brat that nobody likes to be around, so this movie has basically nothing going for it.
This movie is literally a disaster waiting to happen. They will also have to throw a lot of marketing dollars at it but that will simply dig the hole deeper. The losses on this movie will be the consequences of letting low brow, unimaginative people with a political agenda hijack hundreds of millions of dollars for their own selfish satisfaction.
Disney is going off the rails. All the live action movies based on cartoon classics have bombed. Thre Snow White one was not released because it was so bad. I saw a picture of the 7 Dwarfs and I thought I was looking at the Village People.

I wouldn't mind these if they didn't all turn into a snooze-fest. There seems to be a strong correlation to me that people who want to challenge orthodoxy too much can't create very compelling characters.
If someone wants to make a James Bond film featuring an eskimo midget with three legs and one arm who is transsexual portraying James Bond and could actually make that interesting, I'm down. But every single writer who does this seems to make either that main character or the characters surrounding him/her so boring while beating us over the head with their message.
A lot of people get hung up on the obviously woke side, like people getting hung up on Rey being such a Mary Sue in the new Star Wars that she can even revive after death. To me Rey isn't the real problem; the entire story is awful! Everything is awful. Rey isn't the only thing awful.
Iām happy that Iām not from the west because we never had this type of racism in the first place.
we have every type of racism here but not a color one lol
probably because weāre whitish brown to brown.
I have grown up with dark brown people and we always used the word nigār with each other as a swag slang we didnāt know what it meant nor cared.
In the Middle East slavery wasnāt tide to color but It was tide to people not belonging to a tribe.
For example, If you didnāt know your grandfather's great grandfather name then you were treated unfairly or If you were a Jew. In the Arab world we had white, black, Arab and Persian slaves.
nothing was tied to color.
I don't know what wokeness is and I don't take anyone serious who uses the word.
This is great. All actors have a chance to get any role and that great. My Japanese friend would get rejected for roles because she didn't look Asian enough or looked too Asian.
It's more about the actors being able to get jobs. I think it's funny that people are so mad about it. It just reveals the racism in this country. We all know it's there whether people lie about it or not.
I think for myself nobody is going to shame me into believing that equality is wrong lol.
It's not about racism tbh
You can't have a white person potray Martin Luther king in a movie
Similarly you can't have a person who is not white to potray Snow "White"
Just because you believe that doesn't make it true. You're just conditioned to think that. You aren't thinking at all. Automatic thinking is not thinking. Yes, you can portray some else without being their "twin". That was proven in 2015 with that play that did really well. It's proven by every actor really. I never said it was about racism. I said it was about the actors getting jobs.
However, I do think racism is playing a part in the reaction to it. Whether people admit or not. They may never bring it up as their reasoning but why would they. It may not even be conscious.
How.. how can Snow "WHITE" be played by a brown actress?
As I said in the question.. the original novel says she was "White as snow".. thus the name "Snow White"
The issue for me is not the race swap realisticly it will not effect the role itself as her race is not brought up in the story the issue is their is such a focus on it that evey other aspect of the movie ends up lacking story scenes script that in the end will make it fail and for what a few brownie points on twitter
Well who is creating the focus? It's the viewers.
@boggboss Race is brought up in the story and she is white which isnāt surprising as she is also German: ā At the beginning of the story, a queen sits sewing at an open window during a winter snowfall when she pricks her finger with her needle, causing three drops of red blood to drip onto the freshly fallen white snow on the black windowsill. Then she says to herself, "How I wish that I had a daughter that had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony." Some time later, the queen dies giving birth to a baby daughter whom she names Snow White. (However, in the 1812 version of the tale, the queen does not die but later behaves the same way the step-mother does in later versions of the tale, including the 1854 iteration.) ā

I think your missing my point mate I understand that might have been the origin story but most people that know of snow White won't know it bevause Disney probably introduced it to them and they kept it out of the same way I imagine they will do with this live action remake which will mean in the movie they are making race won't be brought into it
Lol, everyone knows. Thatās why she is called Snow WHITE. Anyway, Disney is trying to save the film as it is not even released yet and people are laughing at it and openly planning to boycott it. It is going to be a box office bomb and they know it. It has been satirized in here, GaG, multiple times.
I posed this GaG question a while ago, I also posted one on Snow White as did others:
Has Disney destroyed its brand with wokeness as all their recent movies are failing? ā
I posted the Snow White question 9 months ago and there was at least one before that by someone else:
How much will Disney lose on the new Snow White movie? ā
I think people understand that this story is about a white girl. A WHITE girl. Snow white skin. And some understand that she was German, a white country at the time of the story by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. This is white European culture. And its about a WHITE girl, lol. So dense.
I'm not I'm simply stating how the masses view it you woukd argue her race is why the film would be shit I'm arguing its the smallest factor for why its shit and just as u said some might understand sure but we both the the masses have bo clue it origins from Germany u say I'm being obtuse but Disney is where most know the story and it wasn't in the Disney rendition but meh
Everyone knows Snow White is white, thats the whole point of her name. It didnāt need to be called out in the Disney animated movie because it was understood. And it is still understood today.
They changed to specifically to make her not white in order to be Progressive, just like the Little Mermaid, Hercules and others. It was to be boycotted for that reason even if it was a good story and acting. People are tired of Disney doing this and it leaves a lot of money in the table as they alienate a large part of the audience. And this is why there was a hostile takeover attempt of Disney just last monthā¦ and why there will be another in the future.
I never stated people didn't know she was white I stated people didn't know the place of origin or the opening passage that made her race a part of the story that being said I also did say that the only reason her race was changed was for matters outside of the movie the difference we are having here is I know even if she was white in the movie they are bringing out the film would still be shit
You just know they're excited to make Frozen, a film that loudly represents Norwegian culture, about two African American women 💀🤚
It doesn't matter how much the character's race is tied to their story anymore. If they look white, it's time for an update.
One of my favorite Disney movies to watch is āThe Princess and the Frog.ā I feel like I can identify with the main character Tiana. Butā¦Iām white. Even though I donāt look like Tiana, I see myself in her character and in her personality. I think the āwokeā crowd is missing out on the fact that you donāt need to change a characterās race to make them relatable.
Can't refuse that precious precious DEI money, so naturally Disney is full on promoting "THE MESSAGE" to the detriment of their shareholders and anyone who still liked good Disney movies.
yup certain donors n virtue signal
"Shareholders are short sighted." but most of them are a shitload wealthier than us so maybe they are onto something.
And, no, this isn't going to hurt the company in the long run. (Too much wokeness might, but not wokeness overall.) This is because of the changing demographics of the USA.
People may come in different colors, but money doesn't and...
Money talks and bullshit walks.
Disney should be boycotted, too much woke shit is coming from Disney lately, disgusting.
absurd. i don't mind hiring "anyone" but if so, like mcdonald clown if not wyt, then paint white.
let's put a european to play the role of mulan! to atone for excluded white!
I'm in favor of replacing every white woman in movies and ads with beautiful women of color. My only complaint about the new Snow White is that she isn't Asian.
Lmao
That's just racism. POC should get any role because they are the best actor for it and that's what is happening. Racist just think it's about something else but it's not. My Asian friend couldn't get jobs because she was either too Asian or too white back in the day. Actors dont have to worry about that anymore and it is great.
@shoeboxcerealcard I bet he was just joking to mock Hollywood's wokeness
It has all gone a bit pear shaped.
Racism is wrong, but this is no better! Most of my Black friends cringe at things like this!
What does everyone think of my new slogan for what Disney stands for: -
DISNEY = Dumb Idiots Shall Never Entertain You
"Woke" is a shield to be cruel armored in false virture. It seeks to segregate, divide, and discriminate based on race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Immature idiots, spoiled rotten little brats that never had a spanking or were punished for ANYTHING they did!!
disney on their terrible wokeness streak. I still wonder why they ruin their old classics instead of coming up with new original stories, featuring diverse people.
for them it is "atonement" for the sin of making her white. so must "fix" each one. . idiots.
It's a cancer. It's propaganda. They're trying to control how you think subliminally but it's not subliminal anymore
in film inside out it was subtle sneaky. see my mytake on profile page.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but Rachel Zegler... I mean she seems like kind of a jerk, man. And it's never good when your pronouns are part of your name.
They know that Snow Brown will flop which is why they keep pushing back the release date.
Don't even bother.. they blatantly say they don't even read the source material anymore..
It's fiction so writing a different fiction shouldn't matter unless you are determined to make it matter 🤷
they shoud "write different" but didn't, it is SAME except for skin that doesn't match.
they could've made 7 dwarves the MIX.
insted they made the white not white. that is the problem.
