Most of these stories are folktales older than Disney, Hans Christian Andersen or the Grimm brothers. They have been altered to fit the culture of whoever is telling it for centuries and probably longer.

This isn't even half of the story of the whole controversy around the movie and Rachel Ziegler in particular.

There’s money to be made they will make it. But I’d rather they didn’t or at least didn’t call it the same name.

Honestly I have problem with the casting because the actress straight up said that she didn't like snow white as a character. She also acts like she thinks it's a Disney story from the start saying stuff like "this isn't the 1930's anymore" like girl that's a fkn Brother's Grimm story, I bet she hasn't even read it. Why cast someone who seems to hold nothing but contempt for the character when that character isn't supposed to be a villain or a bad person? Like Snow white ran away from an abusive home when she was what 12? 14? Survived multiple murder attempts, convinced 7 people that she was worth keeping around and ran their entire household, and the actress said that she was a weak damsel in distress, like sure she needed some help, but she's a kid, what did people expect. The actress also talks about love like it's a terribly bad thing that's only there to make women weak, and said that her snow white "doesn't need or dream about true love", what's wrong with loving someone?

Why is it always their "lifetime dream" to play the character that brings them controversy/publicity 🤔 lol

They are ruining all of the classics. I’m guessing nowadays people in this field of creating movies…have no imagination of their own and massacre something wonderful and full of memories for generations.

I have never understood this type of outrage. Don't like it? Don't go.

I think they should remake all of the older classics with updated visuals and enhanced audio. Don’t change the story, the characters, or anything like that. Just make it better, not progressive or woke.

Everything has to be a remake with NO WHITE PEOPLE ALLOWED.

You can't tell me that just about every ethnicity/tribe/nation/group doesn't have their own fairy tales. Why can't we make those? Would be nice to see something that hasn't been remade 8 times. I'd like to see them.

Remakes are a waste and an insult to the authors of the past. Just hire some creative writers who have an original idea. I don't know why it seems so hard to have unique content these days.

Not so Snow White ;)

They already went power player Snow White in the Snow White and the Huntsman movie, why get excited about doing it again in yet another butchering of the original story? Is there no original thought available any more? Can we not make new stories In historical settings with new heroines with original agenda's if that's what the audience craves? It's a medi evil but mythical world, it can be vast enough for an entirely new bunch of characters without disturbing the tales already told right?

I have no kids and I don't watch fairy tale movies. I couldn't care less.

"I think it's weird that adults are so concerned with and outraged by a kids movie" You.. you do realize who pays the tickets for the kids to see the movie, right?

This movie is going to suck.

The original Grimm stories were always on the dark side and probably, as written, not right for very young children. The original Disney films will always be available to everyone. The more recent live action remakes are fine as they stand. Could Mr. Hand and others decrying the remakes be just a little racist in their criticisms because Ariel and Snow White are portrayed by women of color?

hey quick show of hands, what was the worst remake that has come out and why? personally i think their remake of cinderella. mostly i hate the last bit where she is locked away and instead of trying to escape she just....twirls and sings.... like what? in the origional at least she tried to get out. go check out channel awesome on you tube and look at nostalgia critics take on old vs new cinderella and the disney remake month

The original story dates back hundreds of years and comes from various stories being told, retold and mashed together and retold again and again. The Disney version isn’t the definitive version. Get over yourself. Disney remove the core of the story, Disneyfy what’s left behind, make it into some bland and weak version of its former self and then market it to the masses. They’ve been doing that to some great stories for decades. Disney wrecks almost everything it touches. Look up the original tales behind your favourite Disney film and then tell me the Disney version has depth and meaning, it won’t because Disney have removed the soul and made it bland.

I'm so tired of people throwing around the word "woke". I mean, it does help me identify them as someone I don't ever want to have a conversation with, but half the time it's used when there's nothing really that progressive with what they're referring to, and the other half of the time it's just their racism rearing its ugly head. Either way, it makes me sad when someone stoops to that.

Remember when the old racists were angry that Walt was throwing out the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson's original stories and rewriting them for animation? And remember before that when the old racists were complaining that the Brothers Grimm were writing down folklore tweaking it, and claiming it as their own?

It’s a FAIRY TALE!!! It’s not real.

I'm not surprised Hand is throwing a fit. Andrea Caselotti, the voice of Snow White, wasn't credited for her role. She was underpaid. She even had to sneak into the premiere. On top of it, Disney stopped her from taking on several other roles. His Daddy profited off her voice. And now a woman wants to make the story about female empowerment? Scandalous! Of course, Disney edited quite a lot out of the original story, but when men make changes, Hand is presumably okay with it.

I have a great idea, let's get together a whole bunch of has beens, used to bes, wanna bes, never will bes, and remake all kinds of "old timey" films. It's just about time The Three Faces of Eve got a face lift. Who else would like to hear Meghan Markle say "fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride"? Write some original material, perhaps modeled after the old stuff, but set in the 21st century. Snow White? Nope, Leaf Green set in a toxic waste dump. Toxic waste sounds like a great deal of the stuff coming out in movie form right now anyway. I'll probably get down voted for this rant so let's go for broke, let's tar and feather the next person who beats this "woke" drum.

Oh no, a 150 year old piece of literature based on hundreds of years of oral history gets reinterpreted to better fit current times! What absolute tragedy! How shall we all continue in this misery? A catastrophe of unknown proportions! /J. EDIT: if they do another remake i want the scene in there where Snow White pleads for her live and the hunter lets her live and brings the queen the lungs and liver of a pig, which she then prepares and eats believing it's Snow White's organs. HER OWN DAUGHTER'S ORGANS!!!

Aren't there laws about changing an authors work? These are not Disney original stories. Just make your own stuff and stop messing with classic literature. Just remember...Go Woke...Go Broke!!! I guess Disney has run out of original ideas and have to change other authors work to suit their Wokeness. The 'actress' ... well I guess you would call her that, but she is just as Woke as the company that hired her. They can all go broke. Will never watch another thing by Disney. They have gone waaay down that very dark path to the Dark Side. I won't even watch a favorite because of them...sorry Harrison, but I have to pass on the new Indiana Jones movie too. Nothing Disney...no parks, no merchandise, no movies and no tv channels.
