If you truly want to tell a new story with snow white, focus on her relationship with the dwarfs, focus on how she and the prince built a romance, focus on her relationshio with the evil queen before her parents died or why her parents died, why is the queen jealous of a child and how deep is that wound that she turns to murder as a solution. Show sides of the story we haven't seen before. Show the deep messages in it that was limited to be developed more because of the lack of tecnology in animation (of the original) or surface level interpretation that other live action remakes had through the years
And the ironic thing is... Disney already did that. The story of Snow White in OUAT is actually a very intersting, more modern, twist of the original that still has a lot of respect for the original story. The romance with the prince is fast, but belieavable, her relationship with the Evil Queen is complicated, but without fully making the Queen redeemable (at least at first), the dwarves are funny and you do get the sense that they love Snow White and will fully support her, and Snow White herself has the compassion and kindness that characterizes her, but she's also a leader and a badass when needed. If Disney wanted to make a good remake of their original story, they really should've looked at OUAT for inspiration.
You know why Snow White was dreaming of true love? It was because she received none from her stepmother The Evil Queen. The Evil Queen showed absolute cruelty to Snow White, and it was her own jealousy that drove her desire to kill Snow White. So of course Snow White would want someone to love her wholeheartedly.
Same thing with Cinderella - she dreams of true love because she receives none of that from her stepmother and stepsisters for the entirety of her life after her father died.
And none of them begged or waited on a prince to save them. Snow White's love she gave to the Prince and the Dwarves is what saved her life. Cinderella waited to find a moment to escape her cruel life but she did it the honest and right way, plus she got to know tye Prince and did not know he was a Prince until the next morning. Her friends she cared for wanted her to escape and they did just that.
@@kingandrewcecil348 Though Cinderella didn't even dream of true love... She dreamed of a fun night out. Which tbh, is pretty sad. Not escaping her step family, not a happy life, not marrying into the royal family... Just one single fun night, one night free of her abusive family, dancing the night away inside the palace she sees every day through the window. And then it would be back to her normal crappy life, with no end in sight. Afaik only Snow and Aurora (day)dreamed of love. Well, Ariel also dreamed of love, but only after getting her first crush while she was exploring her dream of finding out more about humans.
@@MsLilly200whats crazy is that desiring love is,, pretty natural and normal for teenagers. i was a HUGE romantic read all the fanfics and played all those cringe dating sims and i found fun in fantasizing about love before ever experiencing it. but recently its really been feeling like disney wants to shit on the notion that girls desire love and affection and that its “cliche” or “unfeminist” to have a female lead that acknowledges romance and its just kinda strange, a lil unintentionally degrading to girls that fantasize about love i feel.
@@cocothedino_2901and people will grt so bad ablut the age gap between him and snow, i get it, todays its bad. but can we apply our morales to back then? when it was perfectly normal and safe? plus his age is greatly exaggerated, be was only about 4~ years old, which is a very small age gap back then. edit: no one should take this as go after a minor as a near adukt/adult. but many cultures have different ideas we do not understand.
To think Snow White is a story about finding a man instead of persevering through hardships and abuse while still remaining a kind and hopeful person is baffling to me
For the actress to think that since Snow White is a soft, gentle, kind, and skilled in a lot of domestic work person and not a cruel, badass, calculated, girlboss and Snow White being such makes her a disappointment to all woman to the point needed fixing is problematic in itself. Woman don’t have to be this crazy iron-fisted leader in order to be valuable as woman. Woman can be soft and gentle like Snow White, or just ordinary and regular people like in Barbie. The problem isn’t “snow white becomes cool leader”, the problem is thinking “since snow white isn’t cool leader, she is a failure of a woman”. To think she needs fixing just because she fits certain woman stereotypes is a problem this whole “badass girlboss no nonsense leader” narrative has made.
True. I'm already sick of this feminist ideology. Which is basically to pervert the natural order and to make women insufferable. I'm a man, and even I don't spend my time dreaming about being a leader or boss. I dream about finding my true love and getting married and having a family. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a woman who hasn't been infected by feminism, and who actually dreams about having a family too
EXACTLY! It's absolutely ridiculous and anti-feminist even thought that's what they're going for. So sick of Disney trying to seem progressive just for money and publicity but not actually knowing wtf they're talking about.
"She's not going to dream about true love, she's going to dream about being a leader" Hey, did you know? That you can do both? I'm getting so tired of people looking down on teenage girls dreaming of finding The One when it's actually very realistic! The animated Snow White was 14! Ariel is 16! Teenagers think about love and romance a lot because a new and exciting world has opened up to them! I'm getting so tired of this "you can have a boyfriend OR you can be a girlboss" mentality. WHY NOT BOTH?! These movies are basically saying "if you're not an independent girlboss who doesn't care about love at all and doesn't need any help ever, especially from a MAN, then you're a failure as a woman." These are not empowering, these are cruel, mocking and gatekeeping. You can empower women AND have them yearn for love at the same time. If you want to write about a "badass independent girlboss" then WRITE AN ORIGINAL MOVIE???? The Snow White story is literally about Snow White, the queen and the dwarves. It's not about being an "amazing leader", it's about an insane woman so vain, she gets jealous of a child. Stop taking existing stories and mangling them so they don't resemble the original anymore at all. They don't care about adapting Snow White, they care about brownie points. Except they chose the WORST story to change the ethnicity of the main character. What kind of an insane person looks at a character named after her pale skin and goes "we should make her tan"?? Her name doesn't make any sense anymore!! I'm not against race swapping but ONLY when it makes sense. Changing Snow White's skin color doesn't make sense.
well, love is bad and if u rely on man then you a goober. (sarcasm) "Let's change the entire point and ENTIRE CHARACTER of the story because race swapping and girls need empowerment because ????"
red shoes and the seven dwarves did girlboss better, red shoes aka snow white daughter of king white had to face the evil regina with her love interest merlin and his brothers or partners.
What is wrong with “true love” as a motivation? Love is one of the most powerful emotions humans have. Are these people so cynical that they just don’t believe in good and love anymore? It’s always POWER to them
Yeah, like I get it, not everything has to do with marrying a prince or love at first sight, but let's be real what's wrong with being in love or having a crush on some guy, are we not allowed to like someone 😭😭
Love gets in the way of celebrating Rachel Zeglar. Respecting the original gets in the way of Rachel Zeglar. You will only have Rachel Zeglar! Evide....nTLY so!
@@GenericJake I mean this is the time where LGBTQ+ takes center stage so "independent women" are also present here,because we totally haven't been harsh to males because they hardly matter,says a bunch of Karens.

Walt had balls of steel to pretty much gamble everything he had to get the original Snow White made, when everyone around him was saying it was a bad idea. Imagine if Snow White flopped? Walt would have been bankrupt, forced to close his studio, be unable to keep his mortgaged house and likely on the street. That's an insane amount of confidence to put in your movie.
The son of the director recently called this remake out and half of the posts and videos have mainly rachel simps and idiots trying to accuse him of being a sexist racist, and people who still believe the "Walt hated POC, Jews, and women" conspiracy theories
@@finland4ever55dude Walt helped representation with creating so many woman leads. Snow White, Cinderella, and even Sleeping Beauty were groundbreaking for it's time.
@@frankieseward8667 exactly. They may not be what modern feminists think is a "worthy woman" but they were damn impressive for the times of the movie releases and the settings of the stories. They didn't "do nothing and just get helped by guys", they did have interests and it was their stories not the men's. Also the prince's did waaaay less and had less personality, Philip was the one who was the "damsel" not aurora as he was kidnapped and actually in danger, aurora was in danger for literally like 1 minute because Merriweather changed the spell so she wouldn't die. Yet feminists only hate when women are "not the right kind". Same reason they complain about Barbie, Bratz, Monster High, shopping, makeup, and pink being bad influences on children yet say nothing about things aimed at boys like He Man, GI Joe, Superman, Pokémon, and Ninja Turtles.
The fact that disney uses diversity for brownie points instead of to tell new and inspiring stories is frustrating. We dont want stories that are "diverse" just so disney looks good.
It’s honestly kind of sad since they could tell NEW original and interesting stories that have diverse casts but instead they are just rehashing old stuff for no reason other than profit it just feels reeeallllyyyy lazy
Not brownie points, a sheild. So long as the actor is some non white/strait demographic all criticism will be deflected as some sort of istaphobe. It's gross
I suspected it was because they were trying to make up for racism and controversies in previous/older movies (for example the Native Americans in Peter Pan or the Siamese cats in Lady And The Tramp) But now I see it's pretty obvious they're only doing it for the money/brownie points, they're constantly casting people of colour as older, white characters which I don't have much of a problem with, but the fact that they don't bother to make new, well written characters of different minorities really rubs me the wrong way.
I think it is appalling and utterly revolting that Peter Dinklage decided to complain about Dwarfism representation and told Disney to cut the dwarves and keep him as the only little person. Is he too demented or just too famous to realize there are thousands of actors with Dwarfism that could play the dwarves appropriately and possibly better than Dinklage ever could? It's disrespectful and even more disrespectful because Dinklage is turning against his own people to boost his stardom
Oh yeah, I remember that too like he such a cowardly little chicken because he thinks playing as a dwarf is offensive because he has dwarfism. Funny thing is a panto show of snow white, all of 7 actors who played as the dwarves, all have dwarfism and they all confident enough to play these characters. I'm not kidding, I actually watched it.
Oh yeah, the irony is that Peter played as a dwarf named trumpkin in chronicles of narnia and also rumpelstiltskin in a short film this year so yeah offensive my ass.🙄
whether or not you agree with Halle Bailey as Ariel, she is a lovely person. Her press tours were some of the most graceful, kindest, princess energy I've ever witnessed from a person in my entire life, she will go far with her career Rachael Z on the other hand is a nightmare @_@ she's acting like Cinderella's ugly step sisters. She isn't honoring the role she is in whatsoever
I mean Halle did throw a few things at the old movie. But overall, I’d say she’s a very nice person and the way she’s interacted with a lot of the kids who have come up to her is very sweet and endearing.
Yeah no one disliked the Mermaid actress, just the actions of the studio but Rachel is a full blown narcissist, hates the source/legacy material and hates men on top of all that.
Yes! Halle was so sweet to all the children as well. She gave Disney princess vibes in interviews. Where as this Rachel girl just comes across as very annoying and negative.
Yeah .., ngl she is acting like the total opposite of Snow White from what I’ve seen… Snow White is NOT a narcissist. She’s a very sweet person!!! I would’ve been a better Snow White than her and that’s saying a lot /j
I can live with Zegler not liking Snow White as a kid because she thought it looked scary. I can live with her not liking the prince that only has 5 minutes of screen time, I can live with her not liking romance stories but I can't give her a pass on spreading misinformation. A man notices a girl he finds attractive and then flirts with her right after noticing her and continues after she responds in kind. It's not stalking! JLongbone made a great response. Or how the Dwarfs living in caves is a harmful stereotype. Even tho the Dwarfs live in a cottage and they just work as miners. And Dwarfs from European folklore and people with dwarfism are two different things. It's so obvious these people haven't seen the movie ever or since when they were kids and if they see the movie recently they really weren't paying attention. If they want to bash the original can't they even make sure what they're talking about is true? It just shows how lazy those remakes are. Like she said, ''It's not 1930 anymore'', can't she do a Google search?
The fact that the Original Snow white is one of the most famous Disney movies and the Disney movie that started the Disney movies and the fact that she is disrespecting the movie is so damn obnoxious of her and it hurts the movie
It's interesting that people look at the Prince in Snow White like he somehow saved her. Like, yes his kiss did break the sleeping curse, but his role is nothing more than a prize she is rewarded with at the end of the film for staying a good person through-out her terrible life.
About the kiss breaking the sleeping curse, actually nobody except the Evil Queen herself is aware of this is what undoes her curse. To the Dwarfs and the Prince, Snow White is officially dead to them and therefore is a very sad day for them.....but the fact that the Prince's kiss brought Snow White back to life is nothing more than a surprise miracle to both the Prince and the Dwarfs.
Right? Not to mention the fact that the queen expected her to be buried alive, but the dwarves didn't do that, they looked after her body instead, because she had won them over. If you think about it, she saved herself-- at least for long enough for help to arrive.
@@kingandrewcecil348 I mean, there was a deleted scene where the Queen did capture him. If they kept that in the movie, it would have shown that he probably overheard her and went to search for her after his escape.
If Snow White would have failed, then Disney would have gone bankrupt, and if Disney would have went bankrupt, then they wouldn’t still be around today, and if they weren’t still around today then she wouldn’t have a job right now. If there’s one thing that I really hate, it’s entitlement.
THIS. This girl out there saying the original "cartoon" is outdated and saying nonsensical things about it, when in the first place, if it wasn't for this movie she wouldn't have been here right now 💀
To be fair, Snow White (1937) is very outdated because in the 1930s animation was more about the spectacle, the experience and the mood rather than a solid story so if you want to adapt it for modern audiences it requires some major changes, but a gaslight gatekeep girlboss half assed remake is not what it needs
@@msk-qp6fn Because people have memed the phrases into every freakin situation and scene in movies when characters even remotely do something close to gaslighting to the point where people treat it as normal now.
They chould Literly made a life acstion movie of her although she only a princess in a Disney show they chould do that.... But now i think it better they didn't use her for Elana it whould be insult to her character overal
Honestly, I have never wanted a movie to fail as much as want this remake to flop so hard. If it’s even the tiniest bit successful, it will set a new standard for Disney movies and they will just keep going. Really hope this movie just completely nosedives. Normally I would say if you want to watch it, even for the lols, then watch it. But for, I say, don’t watch it unless you pirate it or something. Don’t give them your money. Speak with your wallets! That’s the only way Disney will listen.
The Little Mermaid was the warmup. I think Disney wants this to be the starting gun. We can’t let that happen, not because we don’t want to hear stories about strong female leaders, but because we want to see NEW STORIES about strong female leaders that aren’t ruining what worked in the past and still works today.
Disney honestly should just scrap it. Live action remakes are clearly on the decline, and getting as much bad publicity as this isn’t going to make it any better. It’s still unfathomable to me how much Disney has fallen from grace in just four years. Completely deserved
It doesn't even matter to them if they get bad reviews. If someone hate watches it or watches out of hope that maybe against all odds this one will be better than the last remake, they company has made money. That's all the Disney executives care about, so as long as the garbage is generating cash for them they'll keep churning it out.
@@snowangelncbut that’s part of the problem, some of the live-action remakes aren’t doing well in the box office. it took Disney two months to just barely break even on The Little Mermaid. i’m sure some live-action movies like Mufasa will do well but op was right when they said remakes are on the decline. at some point the trend will die off and come back again just like everything else in pop culture.
@@AlechiaTheWitch no, I think that’s demonstrably not the case when Disney has been receiving constant bombs while high quality films like Oppenheimer and Spiderverse are massive hits. I think this is just a reality most, if not all companies go through; once a studio becomes successful their name becomes a brand known for quality, the dumb higher ups that don’t actually understand how to make entertaining content assume they can just can coast off their past success til the end of time, which inevitably is something they cannot do (almost like paying a CEO so much more money than the rest encourages them to do less as they have a far bigger safety net when it’s time to pull out) It’s hilarious every time it happens, and it just took longer for Disney to lose the faith of their audience because they are that big and had such a grip on popular culture for so long
@@snowangelnc but they aren’t now. Disney has lost a hilarious amount of money this year churning out garbage they assumed would generate cash. That’s why I’m saying it seems particularly smart to scarp this one. It’s clear audiences are not willing to put up with the same garbage Disney has shoved in our throats for a while now, so it’s probably not going to be worth releasing one as controversial as this
Honestly, I'm fine with Snow White not having fair skin Literally the only thing "snow white" about her was her skin, which is not a defining characteristic at all since the vast majority of Disney princesses are white. I would've liked it for this remake to give Snow more beautiful white features, she can have white hair, or a white dress, you could even make her blind and have pure white pupils, I think it'd be interesting to see a love story play out between a prince and a blind princess, plus it adds more to the diversity aspect since it gives more representation to blind people!
Disney have ruined one of the most treasured peices of media for me. As a feminine gay boy I've always held Snowhite dear to me because of the romantic parts. I've never felt romantic feelings the way most people do but I still want it. Snowhite was such an inspiration and model to me because the story tells me that I have to work for what I want in life (freinds, a roof, love) and that sometimes you can't always solve everything and you need to ask for help. Now that it's gone from the plot and she's telling everyone that "love is bad" she's basically insulted me for something normal I do. Why can't we ever have an ACTUAL feminist whenever we have a female lead? (Cinderella 2015 was assertive, kind, playful, and stood up for herself like in the original. Or how Elle Woods used her "girly knowledge" and femininity to help solve the case)
don't let a shitty cashgrab remake ruin the story for you. the original will always be there, while this remake will be forgotten after a few months :)
It’s really cool hearing how Snow White was an influence to you. She’s so much cooler than people give her credit for. I’m especially a fan of her found family. She wasn’t getting the love she deserved at home, but was able to find her place among people that truly respected her. There’s not even a clear way to describe the dynamic between the dwarves and Snow White, but there doesn’t need to be. The help each other, share in both joys and sorrows, and ultimately love each other immensely. And she’s the one who took the initiative in that situation!
Thanks for pointing out that it's a German tale... I kinda feel bad when I want to say I, as a German, feel misrepresented. I get that we need representation of cultures in movies, and I enjoy diversity in movies. But with snow white and the talk about a live action rapunzel (another German tale) I don't get why they would not just cast German actresses. It is our culture but because we are Germany we are not allowed to claim something like that? That's when I get the backlash and hate that I feel like I might come over as some FOXNews reporter
well the only races that "matter" are African and Mexican for the idiots on twitter than only watch movies because of the color of their skin. It would be more representative to have a german play her, and it probably would feel more inline to the story than anything else but... who cares about that when skin color?
I'm not German, but I agree that if they were to more accurately represent other cultures, they should cast actors/actresses of those cultures, & provide acting opportunities to talented people elsewhere. It would also just be cool to have a Disney princess with a German accent.
@@citrizalso yes. We could start normalizing characters having the right accents. In adaptations of fairytales it's usually villains and sidekicks with accurate accents if they even bother, but everyone else either is American or has a british accent when most fairytales don't even take place in england. Beauty and the beast, cinderella, sleeping beauty, Aladdin, etc.
@@finland4ever55 Yeah, I wanted to mention the overwhelming presence of American/British accents, but to give credit where credit is due, Merida & Tiana are accurate at least.
I find Walt Disney's passion when it came to making this film really so inspiring. He just really believed in himself and his story and he truly earned the success of his company. I love Snow White, the original, and I always will. I won't be watching the live action next year, I'll stream the original instead. I hate how Zegler is disrespecting the original movie, character and Walt Disney's very legacy. Also, you can be feminine, like Snow White, and that doesn’t mean you aren't a strong female. Real strength lies in femininity as well, and also the right to choose what kind of woman you will be. It's okay to be girly, and that doesn’t make you weak.
Snow White choose to stay as a kind girl despite everything that happened to her. She cares for the dwarves despite them being 7 unknown stranger to her. She didnt hate the hunter despite him almost killing her. She is powerful. A loving mother, woman, female, is powerful. The new snow white would just be a jerk. Strong, but a d!ck. Can you imagine a girl being a d!ck? lmao.
Fun fact! In the film, the spell is broken by "love's first kiss", rather than "true love's kiss". It's funny to think that if Snow and the Prince had shared a peck any earlier she would have been asleep forever!
I always get genuinely surprised about the fact that people do not know snow white is a german tale. Like did they never go the library and read any children's books or fairy tales? Are some people living in that poor of a condition or are they just that uneducated and dumb despite having access to tools for learning? Like why aren't they seeing that we need to be more faithful to certain descriptions of the chracters? Like how do they not see that snow white IS already a strong person for keeping her positivity and kindness despite her abuse?
bruh, i lived in the town where Snow White originates from (Lohr am Main) and you don't know how DISGUSTING it is, that they had to literally change the race of this character just because 'Oh it's a brown girl, brown girls are a trend now and we can get good points from the black people and we can prove we are not racist' well, changing a characters ethnicity to make it 'more suitable for a certain audience' is literally racism and has happened multiple times before where black characters were switched with white ones. I would have loved to see a german actress play snow white, i would have LOVED a german disney princess in a live action but NO, Disney does not care.
I’m sick of these girl boss agendas.: I fear what it’s going to do to the next generations of girls.. when I was a teen I had to deal with the society standard of beauty is thinness.. now my daughter who is 1 will have to worry about being Hollywoods version of beautiful, independent, “strong”, oh and now she will also have to be a leader 😵💫
The perverts in Hollywood want to invert the natural gender roles. Which would only lead to most people being miserable. Traditional gender roles are very beautiful and important for the functioning of society.
But not TOO strong, or else she's going to emasculate any guy she meets, and women are meant to be wives and mothers and let the men provide. 🙄 Oh, but you're a gold-digger if you let them provide TOO much! Gawd, women just can't win, can we?
The original Snow White film may be basic story-wise, but it is so unbelievably beautiful, innocent and heavenly in everything it does relating to pure aesthetics. Florian's Castle in the Heavens, the yearnful, bitter-sweet melodies in the love songs, etc... it all comes together in a fairy tale as adorned and ornamented as a gothic cathedral. I was astonished when I first saw it now as an adult, and even though the later Disney films are more fleshed out, I have to say that none of them come off as grandiose and stately as the first one ever. And that's saying something because the later films are great too. This remake feels more like a parody, and I can't help but just laugh at how sad and ironic it all is.
Well said! That’s exactly how I feel about the movie. It’s about a sweet princess who, armed with kindness, persists through adversity and triumphs in the end. She is the heroine of her own making, and she is rewarded for her goodness with that heavenly ending and the prince of her dreams. It’s a FAIRY TALE, for the gods’ sake! I was floored when I watched it again as an adult. It’s sublime.
I'm so tired of people saying that the Prince from Snow White is a creep for kissing Snow White when he thought she was dead. People act as if he put his tongue down her throat while she looks like a regular corpse. Maybe I'm just more comfortable with death because of my upbringing. There's a European tradition that you would kiss dead people goodbye. You would also wait with a dying person because dying alone was one of the most horrible ways to die. In Poland, you would spend three days with the dead body of your relative in the house so family and friends have time to say goodbyes. We even have pictures of family members in coffins, so we could remember them.
Still kinda creepy but when you explain it like that, I think that’s quite lovely. The movie should’ve put that kind of love and context into the story. It’s a shame that Disney doesn’t really expound on stuff like this in their remakes.
especially since this IS a German /European story where they could fully well see this as normal and the prince simply saying goodbye to a lone person he found
"Ugly, arrogant and spiteful." You know... now that I think about it, maybe Rachel should have been cast to play as the Evil Queen. She doesn't even need a script, she literally IS the character.
Disney cares so much about representation that they remove very representations of many groups. They removed Ariel as a ginger and removing one of the few roles made for people with dwarfism. They could actually find actors with dwarfism to help their careers, yet they don't want to. This movie will bomb like the Little Mermaid.
I agree with you but as a natural ginger, not many of us care about our roles being given to other colors/races/hair types. We're overrepresented already thanks to ginger tropes like the Redheaded Heroine and Redheaded Nerd. Little actors do and should care about their roles being erased/replaced by average-height actors because those roles were never there to begin with, while us redheads kind of suffer from an overabundance of weird representation already (Weasleys, anyone?), so having those roles re-cast aren't really a big deal, at least to me.
@@gingergoddess8953 yeah the savage or exotic, weird how yall are fine with it despite it kinda being an problem. Good for you, personally it is ironic to me how black people do the things they dont want to other ethnicities even to fictional chatacters mainly the red heads
I’m realizing with this type of analysis that I’m really hating how underrated and misrepresented the princess are being Honestly I love Snow White, the character, like she’s so young (and you can tell), had being through a lot and still was so compassionate, so caring, lovely, not believing that her stepmother would wanted to kill her until someone else shows her And also gives you a lot of valuable messages, like her teaching the dwarfs to be organize and independent by taking care of their house, or the huntsman showing compassion for the little girl, or to have respect with the nature and with the living beings, like I know I got to love animals this much because of this type of movies ✨ So I HATE that they just treat her like “oh well she was just another damsel in distress”
I find race swapping of existing characters sooo insulting 😑 They clearly show they have absolutely zero interest in true and existing poc histories and fairy tales and princesses. So to pander to those that say Disney princess line up is too white, they just make an already existing princess a poc instead of making an individual true poc character. It’s insulting 🤷♀️ For the rest, they clearly haven’t understood the core or the message of the source material 😑 Which makes them look lazy and ignorant. A woman does not have to reject love and romance in order to be able to be strong 😑 Such an outdated notion. A woman can be strong and still be girly, want love, want to be domestic. It is not becessary to want to be a warrior, be a leader, have a career as the only way to be perceived as strong 🤷♀️ You know what is the best selling book genre in the world? Yup, romance 😝
Agree. Raceswaps are NOT progressive or representative - they're lazy, uncreative, insulting, and even racist 👎👎👎👎👎 And Disney has the nerve to call all of us audiences "racists" for hating the raceswapped versions, when yet they're the real racists for not letting POCs have their original characters in favor of sloppy seconds thinking that they're stupid enough to eat it up and applaud Disney for their "progressive" efforts 😤😤😤😤😤🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I also kind of resent that the prince was a stalker. There’s a lot of evidence that they knew each other in their wishing well interaction (she references him as the one she loves in her song, she doesn’t say for someone I haven’t met yet or something like many other princesses do. Plus he sings but one song for her. They were basically flirting the whole time????). And there’s other evidence that snow had feelings for him prior (sending him a kiss, batting her eyes, and hiding her appearance when she was wearing rags)
Even if they were seing each other before, that doesnt make him a stalker. They could have met by chance. But I dont believe they met before, when she was singing and he appeared out of nowhere, she ran away from him. Then he sang the continuation of her love song as a love confession and she responded to his feelings with physical signs
@@jessicafreitas3831 To be fair, she could've run away because she knows that her stepmother is intensely paranoid and would lose her mind to find Snow White romantically involved with someone, especially another noble, meaning political alliances meaning a threat to the throne. Not to mention in the original script it's mentioned that the queen tortures the prince so it's also possible that she can't risk being seen with him for either of their sakes.
I say we all take this moment to go show love for Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves, a film that was let down tremendously by its marketing and is probably one of the most clever takes on the story I’ve ever seen. It’s funny, it’s got great characters, it expands upon Snow and the Prince in a way that’s very smart and romantic. And best of all, it’s not insulting the original 1937 movie at every turn and is doing its own thing without tearing down something else. So go watch that movie rather than waste your money on this train wreck.
And they had racebent snow white but it's different. Snow White is portrayed as asiam in the movie because it's simply a Korean movie, if it was done by America, the marketing would be all like "LoOk sHe's kOrEaN!!! ArE YoU hApPy???!!"
the original Snow White was a story about Snow gaining her independence from the Evil Queen and finding what makes her happy, I don't get how that's seen as a bad thing
Y’know, I’m actually not mad that Snow White’s skin is not… well… Snow White. I’m just mad that they never gave her any other features that are white as snow. Please, it would’ve been so easy just to give her beautiful white hair, and it would’ve been interesting if Snow White was blind, maybe not even blind but just had beautiful white irises. Also, the thing about not using actors with dwarfism is just so absurd omg-
Or cast someone with vitiligo, with striking white patches that bring attention worthy of a name. Maybe even feature some albino representation or just a freakishly pale person like me lol. Visible veins and all. Tan skin is basically a beauty standard at this point. Is it too egregious to hire a pale actress?
@@skitterly exactly, i would love to see an albino or a very pale german actress as snow white and i dont get why they didnt do that if they wanted diversity so much, casting a latina makes 0 sense
Once I was listening to someone reading Snow White, and that version didn't specify where to put the white, the black, and the red. The guy said "so there was a chance the kid could have been dark skinned with red hair and white eyes, causing chaos in the castle", which I found to be a fun concept. You can make a lot of interesting designs if there's free color order.
Happy birthday, Aldone. Bless you and your love ones. And thank you for discussing the concerns about the Snow White remake and similar issues relating to it and the importance of respecting past masterpieces and showing humility.
The only live action version of Snow White I'll accept is Mirror Mirror, as far as I know, this one doesn't exist. Hell! Twisted Wonderland did a better modern spin on the story in Book 5 with the character representing the evil queen turned out to be more so insecure and questioning his own beauty and why he wasn't 'the fairest' when in reality it was just because (since him and snow white's counter part are actors in this universe) people were more so able to relate to someone with more struggles than someone they felt was more out of reach. (Which this book I feel like so many TWST fans get it wrong just because I see way too much hate aimed towards Neige who literally did nothing wrong) It's really pathetic two separate pieces of media do a better form of retelling the story than the original company smh
It's truly sad that the current generation lacks the understanding of what the original films meant and the emotion they invoked . Now a days a lot of movies feel shallow and empty of the emotions and meaning that they had five or even ten years ago .
Also, in 1937 ppl didn’t need a boss babe in the screen, they needed a kind person that keeps a good attitude despite the circumstances the post-depression and pre-war years were also very hard
Greta Gerwig better enjoy her time in the Barbie spotlight, because this movie looks even more toxic than the poison apple from the original Snow White.
Disney has risen to utter hubris. As they say, pride before the crash. No more movie magic, no more originality. Please, no more remakes, sequels (unless it has a stort arc) and prequels.
Snow white represents selflessness, kindness, friendship and her true beauty from with in. She befriends nature, the forest creature and latter the dwarfs. The Queen represents vanity, selfishness and envy, Her true inner ugliness is manifested by her transformation into the old women (her true self) and is latter defeated by the dwarfs, animals and nature because of their friendship and love for her. At the well Snow white tells the doves (The viewer) that the well is a whishing well and she makes a wish for her true love "I'm wishing for the one I love, to find me today" and magically her true love appears at that moment. When they both sing their songs they are showing each other their inner beauty through song. and share a kiss through the proxy of nature by the dove. Rachel Zegler comment about prince charming stalking snow white is totally lost on her, Nor is It about power and being a leader, its about kindness and the value of friendship. And prince charming is the manifestation of her "true love" wish. Its a fairy tell, meant to be simple to understand but Rachels inner self has turned it into something ugly, like the Evil Queen.
Someone should really send this video to Rachel. Honestly, I think she’s capable of growth and admitting she was wrong. She’s young, she was being told by the writers and directors and producers how amazing the new script was and that this Snow White is “a new type of princess” (which is basically the same exact kind of princess we get post-Frozen where they have to insist they’re independent and girlbosses who want to rule the kingdom). She probably didn’t hear ANYONE currently working at Disney Studios actually tell her about the significance and merits of the classic Snow White. It’s sad but… legitimately, I could see modern Disney being that incompetent and cocky to think they can do better and should ignore the past After all, this is the same studio that made Peter Pan a villain who aged out of the wholesome Disney child star role and his life went downhill… ignorant to the fact that his original voice actor did just that to tragic results. Past Disney (even up to the early 2000s) wouldn’t have made these kind of blunders.
@@OpticalSorcerersince I've only watched Moana, I can agree she's the kind of princess past Disney was capable of creating. Moana still has the Disney magic we know.
she shouldn't need anyone to tell her. you can ask people in Africa if they know snow white and they will say yes. when you're being paid a boatload of money to portray one of the most iconic characters in fiction ever, you should do at least 15 minutes of due diligence to understand what made them icionic in the first place
@@IAmTheEagleHTM I recommend Raya as well, but the storytelling/messages are iffy: the film's message is about trust, but Raya's trauma is never validated by the person who wronged her. She instead just kinda has to bury it and accept her need to trust others, even though there's never a "it's okay to be cautious" message. Plus there was some criticism that they generalized Southeast Asia rather than picking a handful of countries (or just one) to represent.
@@OpticalSorcererMoana was a good character, the only thing that I'd say could've been fine tuned to set it apart cause the plotline follows Tangled's plot closely. With it being a road-trip type movie where the sheltered girl goes out to see the thing she always wanted to but wasn't allowed to by her demanding authority figure. She finds out about her past with the help of a goofy guy who's the comic relief.
This movie is trying to make us buy the fact that the Evil Queen who is played by Gal Gadot (Who is an actual model) is Jealous of some bratty latina girl (not snow white)
@@elianperezjaberThe fact that Snow white is described as pale as the snow and is a german girl from the medieval era, it's not like Ariel who is a mermaid, meanwhile Snow white ethnicity is stated
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 Yeah but the commenter said it's unrealistic that a model would be jealous of "some bratty Latina girl" as if her ethnicity makes her any less attractive than the evil queen and thus the evil queen shouldn't be jealous
I'm starting to think that Disney is allowing Rachel to speak about her character in the way she is because of the writers and actors strikes. Shes making actors look vapid, demanding, and not worth what she is already getting in pay and i think right now that benefits Disney and their shareholders. If we let Rachel hurt our opinion as actors as a whole, we get closer to seeing Disney's reasoning to not give raises. (beyond the obvious CEO profits)
The biggest problem, other than remaking this classic in the first place, which did not need to be done with hiring a narcissistic diva who clearly has no respect for source material, hates the character and has an ego that has her own ZIP Code, and has no talent on top of everything else.
@@IHeartMyHappyPlace exactly I’m just gonna say it she can’t sing she can’t act. I doubt she’s that pretty I’m saying I don’t because I’m blind and I can’t see her but I doubt she’s that pretty and I can tell you right now. Her personality is ugly at sin.
Well, I don’t mind that she’s Latina, she’s fair skinned enough. She looks like the character and can sing beautifully. But come on girl, since when dreaming and looking for love is a bad thing? Self proclaimed “girl bosses” might be lying to themselves.
Honestly every time Rachel speaks, she’s disrespecting the entirety of Disney… Snow White isn’t some “outdated cartoon from the 1930s”, it is THE first ever full-length animated film in full color to reach a nationwide audience. In my opinion, it’s already empowering because it’s not only the first full-length animated film, it also has a female main character, and female main villain! Snow White is also not stupid or weak, she’s as strong as she can be in her position, she’s incredibly empathetic and clever, she’s kind, she’s caring towards nature and animals. She was weary of the old woman with the apples, but she had no reason to believe the woman had any ill intent, and Snow also had zero clue that apples could be magically poisoned. The prince was also not a stalker, he simply saw Snow and fell in love. Snow also fell in love at the beginning, too. I will say, yes, that’s a sign of the 1930s, the whole love at first sight thing (although the film does take place in like the 14th-16th century), but a live action remake could absolutely write further into that, maybe make it so the prince and Snow have some sort of previous relationship where they know each other, that would be absolutely fine. Also, the live action could’ve just had the dwarves, and show the seven dwarves being hard-workers that helped to save Snow in her time of need, they learned that there are people out there that don’t judge them and will treat them equally and kindly, and once Snow is with the prince the dwarves could have the opportunity to do more in the world, or they can have the option to remain in the cottage and forest. There is potential to make Snow White progressive, while still keeping it loyal to the original- like Cinderella, and even Maleficent, in my opinion both of those movies are wonderful and were loyal to their originals, but they added onto the stories and made the stories flourish even greater with all of the potentials that we are able to give now that we are in a modern era. Just… Snow White is honestly a forward movie, when you look back at the time and the accolades it received. Everyone who has made the live action remake what it is so far and the awful PR probably has Walt cringing in his grave.
Snow White is such a lovely character and I love how her kindness are her strength instead of physicality. She literally wakes up in the middle of the forest and is "ashamed of the fuss she's made" and starts apologizing to the animals. I hate how nowadays hollywood and some people think that "strong female character" is some kind of a warrior who doesn't want love, marriage or kids when being strong doesn't mean you can't also be feminine and soft.
@@AnaandVerity1259what you needed a German flag in the movie in order to be authentic?Read history books and look at the photos and maybe go to the museum and you’ll find that architecture, furniture and even little things like cups and cuckoo clock (which originated from Germany) is very authentic to german culture. Design of the characters are true to original. I don’t know maybe it’s about clothes, then look at the photos of 17th century clothes and how detailed it is, there is no way it could be animated back in 30s. I highly recommend you to watch video about Snowhite historical clothes (sorry, I don’t remember the title) in that video people explain that not only clothes, but also the environment indicates that it is Germany 17th century.
If they wanted a POC snow white they could have made her Japanese. Why specifically Japanese? Because most Japanese people are very pale. That's why I didn't say asian because other asians are mainly tanned. And no, I don't mean Japanese girl in the middle of Germany, I mean change the setting to Japan and have everyone be Japanese. That alone would be much more interesting than a German erasure movie
8:54 i absolutely hate this argument because it shows she likely has not watched the original. Snow White was at the end saved by a prince, but throughout the story she was doing stuff on her own and she wouldve died [or other outcomes] way earlier if she wasnt as smart / hardworking or whatever. Snow White earned being saved by the prince, it didnt just happen to her. (I feel like i do have to add that the way she is inevitably saved by being kissed by a man she doesnt really know is odd, but they can improve that.) Implanting the idea into young girls' minds that they shouldn't dream about falling in love is bad. We need to show more girls that they can be leaders and such, but girls are allowed to fall in love and to be happy. We don't see Snow White's thoughts, but considering she was not treated very well, she likely wasn't just thinking of a prince and she wanted freedom. That's probably why she was so happy just in the cottage with the dwarves, no prince attatched. TLDR: Snow White *was* being a leader and earned her prince at the end. Also, girls shouldn't be taught that they aren't allowed to want things that'll make them happy (love or other things). Im ngl i paused the video then wrote this and it turns out aldone basically says the same thing right after. Whoops
We seriously need to somehow harness the power of Walt spinning in his grave at what they have done to Disney. It would be better then solar, wind, and coal combined.
At this point I’m starting to wonder if Disney is trying to dip it’s toes into the “Hate Watch” market. Disney has so much power, I doubt they would have let such messy PR just slip by like that. We know it works. Lion King 2019 is the highest grossing film of all time and their were plenty of people hating it. Mulan was a scandal and a half and it still made bank. They’ve been making these remakes long enough that they know what works and what doesn’t, and in this attention economy, hate and debate gets the seats.
people like to think that these live action remakes are destroying beloved characters when in reality these remakes are nothing more than shovelware on the same level as the direct to dvd sequels that will soon be forgotten while the original classics will continue to be loved and remembered.
There is actually some decent straight to Dvd sequels like Lion King 2 and Lion King 1/3, an extremely goofy movie, 101 Dalmation Patch's london adventure and even Aladdin and the King of Thieves
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 there are also some decent remakes like Cinderella and Jungle Book, but that doesn't change what they represent as a whole and none of these movies change the legacy of the originals in the long run.
She ran from the prince because it was also improper for a girl to be alone with a man back in those times but they both did love each other regardless
It is so frustrating to see anything about this movie while watching My Happy Marriage on Netflix. There are many parallels to the protagonist and Snow White and it handles the trauma so well by showing her kind heart instead of making her a girl boss.
Snow White was not the first full-length animated film. It's just the first one produced in the USA. We need to stop rewriting history to make us look better. The real first full-length animated film was from Argentina from 1917. It's call la apostol.
Actually, “The Adventures of Prince Achmed” (1926) is the oldest surviving full length animated film predating Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by 11 years. Had the 1917 Argentinian animated film “El Apóstol” (“The Apostle” in English) not been destroyed in a fire, then it would’ve had the distinction as the first full length animated feature ever made.
In 1937 being a housewife and having a nice house with lots of utensils and feeling pride on taking care of a house and your husband was THE bigest goal of that era, because it meant stability. And yeah, I understand the “wokeness” and “girlpowerness” but this is not the point of SnowWhite and definitely not the point of a remake. Let’s all agree and stop watching these shameful content.
Not Only is this Not a Original Idea as it was done in Snow White and the Huntsman but everything is Changed ignoring the Original as a Romantic Classic with the Dwarfs not being the main focus and everyone especially the main character was Miscasted for pointless Agendas, this isn’t what made Walt Disney stand his Company as it’s the Complete Opposite of the Imagination and Creativity the Original had.
I wonder if anyone else sees the biggest irony? The remake has all the power, the resources, the "magic" of CGI as it were, but got caught up in trying to be seen as the better film. It tries to degrade the original and insist that it's the better one, but people prefer the original due to its innocence and sincerity. In the end, rather than being sincere and enjoying its own beauty, the remake is turning itself ugly trying to knock the other one down, only to be knocked down itself. Does that story sound familiar to anyone else?
It’s always kind of felt strange to me that some of the cast members proudly shit on one of the most influential and revolutionary films in cinema. Regardless if it’s bait or not, it just seems like a cheap attempt at modernizing it.
The movie mirror mirror is literally my version of a live action Snow White and they casted lily Collin’s as Snow White and Julia Robert’s as the evil queen. I loved the way they changed the story to make Snow White seem graceful but she also is a fighter too. She still had the same characteristics and personalities as the original. She makes a meal and cleans for the dwarves (who are people with actual dwarfism) and is a girl who is in love and throughout the story you find that she never actually falls asleep and the kiss to break the spell actually came from her saving the prince from a love spell. Like it’s just a better movie for Snow White.
The thing I hate the most about Rachel talking about the new movie is that she sounds so arrogant. Like she just KNOWS this version will be SO much better. And how Snow White was SO weak for wanting love. And hell, the new story kind of undersells Snow White’s leadership because she decides to become a strong leader because her father told her to. And sure, the original Snow White can be a pretty scary movie, the only thing that I remembered from the movie as a child was watching the queen scream while her hand was turning into the hag’s, and what a visceral feeling that inspired in me. And as someone who loves the horror genre, that moment was awesome. But I digress. I never was fond of any of the remakes, and this doesn’t make me any more fond of them. Especially when they try to shoehorn in more progressive values instead of naturally incorporating them into the story. Especially when the shoehorned ones always feel insulting and hollow.
I am just confused on why she is doing it when she detest the movie so much. Imagine during the promotion press her keep on saying how much she hates the movie and talk down other casts especially the prince. "We r not gonna talk about u bcs (Anti)Snow doesn't need any". The awkwardness and disrespect. She really thinks she is doing a huge favor on this whole planet. But seriously, what's even the story about? > Sweet Snow White get race swapped. (Atleast Haley wasn't toxic and had a beautiful voice but Rachel? Hard to say.) Then what happened to her being fairest of all? The whole point of jealousy . >The seven drawfs got kicked out and replaced with .....I don't even know what are they. Then who will drive away Evil Queen? >Prince will probably wouldn't be there. So who will wake her? >Snow has a father ..so what happened to the queen? Then there's no plot of her being jealous and posion apple. They really doing anything.
I hate how wanting true love is seen as "sexist." As if its somehow WRONG for a woman to want to be loved by a man. As if marriage isn't supposed to be a two way street, where both individuals love and support each other.
Two great videos two days in a row. You do a good job explaining what sucks about all of these remakes and the attitudes of the people involved while not being a loud, hyperbolic anti-woke whistleblower about it. Also, Happy Birthday!
I suppose we should be lucky that they did not have (at least not yet) a scene where the new Snow White wields a sword and handily defeats the prince for his "Creepy" behavior, thus validating her as a "strong" and modern woman
They should have took a page from Snow White in Once Upon a Time. She was a badass female character which an in-depth backstory yet she still found importance in true love. That, I think, is a great example of how you can have both an empowering female lead and still be faithful to the source material and have something entirely new from it at the same time
"Fearless, fair, brave, and true." She rushed that line out in a such a way you can tell Disney told her to memorize those words. They're just like the reboot of Cinderella aggressive pushing "Have courage and be kind." It's the same false, forced garbage and I don't believe it. That word 'fearless' already has me thinking we're going to have a Mary-Sue on our hands. Yay. Can't wait. 😕 'Fearless' is not the same as brave, and she'll have no character arc.
1:00 no. The story was writen by the Grimm brothers in Germany and was first published in 1812. However they haven't created the tale. It's folklore, something passed verbally through generations. The story itself is several hundred years old! What Disney did in 1937 was a "children friendly" adaptation. It had singing and romance, only one murder attempt and the ending of the witch/ stepmother is also different.
I can’t understand why the prince has to be removed. The biggest problem for his character was that he had barely any screen time, and with good reason. The prince was originally going to have a bigger role in the original Snow White, with him being kidnapped by the evil queen after he refused to marry her. However, his subplot was cut after the animators couldn’t properly animate a male character like him. If this live-action remake cared enough, it could have reused the prince’s story thanks to not having the technological limitations as in the 1930’s, with the added bonus of a potential organic girl boss moment for Snow White in that she’s the one who manages to save the prince. It’s so annoying, especially since the other live-action remake don’t remove their princes (with the Cinderella remake and arguably the Little Mermaid remake expanding upon their princes).
11:39 yoooooo happy birthday, M8!! Keep up the amazing work and have a good one. I turn 25 this October and have been making YT videos myself since 2013, you're such an inspiration
Bruh, the sheer AUDACITY of these people boils my blood. Had the original 1937 film flopped or not existed at all, Disney, Hollywood and dare-I-say the ENTIRE WORLD would not be the way it is today. I'm genuinely not exaggerating when i say this, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs literally changed the world and you're really gonna treat it like that? Absurd.
For me, growing up, Snow White story was about humility and her discovering what she's capable of. And that for me is Women Empowerment. Women Empowerment doesn't always need to be about being a girl boss and not needing any man. It could also be about self discovery and empowering other people, not just women, to see the best in themselves. And that's what Snow White did with the 7 dwarves. And her character development from the shy girl living in the castle, to a strong dependable woman with the dwarves. Disney should stop making complicated storylines, and just focus on the true essence of the originals.
It's like a bunch of people just taking paintings from museums and "remaking" them to be what they "should be." Better yet, to take comparison, it's like the artist who made the statue of the little girl in front of the bull in New York. They need to take something down to build their messages up.
If you truly want to tell a new story with snow white, focus on her relationship with the dwarfs, focus on how she and the prince built a romance, focus on her relationshio with the evil queen before her parents died or why her parents died, why is the queen jealous of a child and how deep is that wound that she turns to murder as a solution. Show sides of the story we haven't seen before. Show the deep messages in it that was limited to be developed more because of the lack of tecnology in animation (of the original) or surface level interpretation that other live action remakes had through the years
they did exactly that with Cinderella and it was really good
Or go watch Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves. A film that expands upon the story in a new way.
Mirror mirror is honestly a good adaptation of snow white
And the ironic thing is... Disney already did that. The story of Snow White in OUAT is actually a very intersting, more modern, twist of the original that still has a lot of respect for the original story. The romance with the prince is fast, but belieavable, her relationship with the Evil Queen is complicated, but without fully making the Queen redeemable (at least at first), the dwarves are funny and you do get the sense that they love Snow White and will fully support her, and Snow White herself has the compassion and kindness that characterizes her, but she's also a leader and a badass when needed. If Disney wanted to make a good remake of their original story, they really should've looked at OUAT for inspiration.
Kind of like they did with the first Maleficent movie?
You know why Snow White was dreaming of true love? It was because she received none from her stepmother The Evil Queen. The Evil Queen showed absolute cruelty to Snow White, and it was her own jealousy that drove her desire to kill Snow White. So of course Snow White would want someone to love her wholeheartedly.
Same thing with Cinderella - she dreams of true love because she receives none of that from her stepmother and stepsisters for the entirety of her life after her father died.
And none of them begged or waited on a prince to save them. Snow White's love she gave to the Prince and the Dwarves is what saved her life. Cinderella waited to find a moment to escape her cruel life but she did it the honest and right way, plus she got to know tye Prince and did not know he was a Prince until the next morning. Her friends she cared for wanted her to escape and they did just that.
@@kingandrewcecil348 Though Cinderella didn't even dream of true love... She dreamed of a fun night out. Which tbh, is pretty sad. Not escaping her step family, not a happy life, not marrying into the royal family... Just one single fun night, one night free of her abusive family, dancing the night away inside the palace she sees every day through the window.
And then it would be back to her normal crappy life, with no end in sight.
Afaik only Snow and Aurora (day)dreamed of love. Well, Ariel also dreamed of love, but only after getting her first crush while she was exploring her dream of finding out more about humans.
@@MsLilly200whats crazy is that desiring love is,, pretty natural and normal for teenagers. i was a HUGE romantic read all the fanfics and played all those cringe dating sims and i found fun in fantasizing about love before ever experiencing it. but recently its really been feeling like disney wants to shit on the notion that girls desire love and affection and that its “cliche” or “unfeminist” to have a female lead that acknowledges romance and its just kinda strange, a lil unintentionally degrading to girls that fantasize about love i feel.
@@cocothedino_2901and people will grt so bad ablut the age gap between him and snow, i get it, todays its bad. but can we apply our morales to back then? when it was perfectly normal and safe?
plus his age is greatly exaggerated, be was only about 4~ years old, which is a very small age gap back then.
edit: no one should take this as go after a minor as a near adukt/adult. but many cultures have different ideas we do not understand.
To think Snow White is a story about finding a man instead of persevering through hardships and abuse while still remaining a kind and hopeful person is baffling to me
lot of people dont even know that the prince has name...
@PrincessLovelyAngel I agree , except for the grooming , snow white was a child while the prince was like 31.
@@asimnegi5078They're rumors. ModernGurlz did a video debunking this. They never said what age the characters were in the movie.
For the actress to think that since Snow White is a soft, gentle, kind, and skilled in a lot of domestic work person and not a cruel, badass, calculated, girlboss and Snow White being such makes her a disappointment to all woman to the point needed fixing is problematic in itself. Woman don’t have to be this crazy iron-fisted leader in order to be valuable as woman. Woman can be soft and gentle like Snow White, or just ordinary and regular people like in Barbie. The problem isn’t “snow white becomes cool leader”, the problem is thinking “since snow white isn’t cool leader, she is a failure of a woman”. To think she needs fixing just because she fits certain woman stereotypes is a problem this whole “badass girlboss no nonsense leader” narrative has made.
True. I'm already sick of this feminist ideology. Which is basically to pervert the natural order and to make women insufferable. I'm a man, and even I don't spend my time dreaming about being a leader or boss. I dream about finding my true love and getting married and having a family. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a woman who hasn't been infected by feminism, and who actually dreams about having a family too
It's honestly actually antifeminist, despite their intentions to the opposite, which is pretty ironic!
Sounds like this movie might end up like snow white and the huntsman
EXACTLY! It's absolutely ridiculous and anti-feminist even thought that's what they're going for. So sick of Disney trying to seem progressive just for money and publicity but not actually knowing wtf they're talking about.
@@thedisasterousdaisydevil If you knew what feminism was, you wouldn't say it's anti feminist
"She's not going to dream about true love, she's going to dream about being a leader"
Hey, did you know? That you can do both? I'm getting so tired of people looking down on teenage girls dreaming of finding The One when it's actually very realistic! The animated Snow White was 14! Ariel is 16! Teenagers think about love and romance a lot because a new and exciting world has opened up to them!
I'm getting so tired of this "you can have a boyfriend OR you can be a girlboss" mentality. WHY NOT BOTH?! These movies are basically saying "if you're not an independent girlboss who doesn't care about love at all and doesn't need any help ever, especially from a MAN, then you're a failure as a woman."
These are not empowering, these are cruel, mocking and gatekeeping. You can empower women AND have them yearn for love at the same time.
If you want to write about a "badass independent girlboss" then WRITE AN ORIGINAL MOVIE???? The Snow White story is literally about Snow White, the queen and the dwarves. It's not about being an "amazing leader", it's about an insane woman so vain, she gets jealous of a child.
Stop taking existing stories and mangling them so they don't resemble the original anymore at all. They don't care about adapting Snow White, they care about brownie points. Except they chose the WORST story to change the ethnicity of the main character. What kind of an insane person looks at a character named after her pale skin and goes "we should make her tan"?? Her name doesn't make any sense anymore!! I'm not against race swapping but ONLY when it makes sense. Changing Snow White's skin color doesn't make sense.
Yeah pretty wierd that new-age disney's message seems to be "Love is bad"
well, love is bad and if u rely on man then you a goober. (sarcasm)
"Let's change the entire point and ENTIRE CHARACTER of the story because race swapping and girls need empowerment because ????"
Strange how progressive Disney doesn't find hereditary monarchy problematic!

The original stories of snow white aren't about love, it's jealously. So she's just bashing Disney...
Walt had balls of steel to pretty much gamble everything he had to get the original Snow White made, when everyone around him was saying it was a bad idea.
Imagine if Snow White flopped? Walt would have been bankrupt, forced to close his studio, be unable to keep his mortgaged house and likely on the street.
That's an insane amount of confidence to put in your movie.
The son of the director recently called this remake out and half of the posts and videos have mainly rachel simps and idiots trying to accuse him of being a sexist racist, and people who still believe the "Walt hated POC, Jews, and women" conspiracy theories
Steel Ball Run
@@finland4ever55dude Walt helped representation with creating so many woman leads. Snow White, Cinderella, and even Sleeping Beauty were groundbreaking for it's time.
For real without Snow white no disney no disney means no DreamWorks and many other like Illumination Sony and so on
@@frankieseward8667 exactly. They may not be what modern feminists think is a "worthy woman" but they were damn impressive for the times of the movie releases and the settings of the stories. They didn't "do nothing and just get helped by guys", they did have interests and it was their stories not the men's. Also the prince's did waaaay less and had less personality, Philip was the one who was the "damsel" not aurora as he was kidnapped and actually in danger, aurora was in danger for literally like 1 minute because Merriweather changed the spell so she wouldn't die. Yet feminists only hate when women are "not the right kind". Same reason they complain about Barbie, Bratz, Monster High, shopping, makeup, and pink being bad influences on children yet say nothing about things aimed at boys like He Man, GI Joe, Superman, Pokémon, and Ninja Turtles.
The fact that disney uses diversity for brownie points instead of to tell new and inspiring stories is frustrating. We dont want stories that are "diverse" just so disney looks good.
And because they are desperate for more 💰💰💰💰💰💰
This is just checkbox activism
It’s honestly kind of sad since they could tell NEW original and interesting stories that have diverse casts but instead they are just rehashing old stuff for no reason other than profit it just feels reeeallllyyyy lazy
Not brownie points, a sheild. So long as the actor is some non white/strait demographic all criticism will be deflected as some sort of istaphobe. It's gross
I suspected it was because they were trying to make up for racism and controversies in previous/older movies (for example the Native Americans in Peter Pan or the Siamese cats in Lady And The Tramp)
But now I see it's pretty obvious they're only doing it for the money/brownie points, they're constantly casting people of colour as older, white characters which I don't have much of a problem with, but the fact that they don't bother to make new, well written characters of different minorities really rubs me the wrong way.
I think it is appalling and utterly revolting that Peter Dinklage decided to complain about Dwarfism representation and told Disney to cut the dwarves and keep him as the only little person. Is he too demented or just too famous to realize there are thousands of actors with Dwarfism that could play the dwarves appropriately and possibly better than Dinklage ever could? It's disrespectful and even more disrespectful because Dinklage is turning against his own people to boost his stardom
There is a difference between Folklore Dwarves and dwarfism
Oh yeah, I remember that too like he such a cowardly little chicken because he thinks playing as a dwarf is offensive because he has dwarfism.
Funny thing is a panto show of snow white, all of 7 actors who played as the dwarves, all have dwarfism and they all confident enough to play these characters. I'm not kidding, I actually watched it.
Oh yeah, the irony is that Peter played as a dwarf named trumpkin in chronicles of narnia and also rumpelstiltskin in a short film this year so yeah offensive my ass.🙄
I think he was moreso upset that the only time people think of casting people with dwarfism is for dwarf-related roles.
He was just making sure he's the top dwarf on the mole hill. It's greed, not delusion or fear.
whether or not you agree with Halle Bailey as Ariel, she is a lovely person. Her press tours were some of the most graceful, kindest, princess energy I've ever witnessed from a person in my entire life, she will go far with her career
Rachael Z on the other hand is a nightmare @_@ she's acting like Cinderella's ugly step sisters. She isn't honoring the role she is in whatsoever
I mean Halle did throw a few things at the old movie. But overall, I’d say she’s a very nice person and the way she’s interacted with a lot of the kids who have come up to her is very sweet and endearing.
Yeah no one disliked the Mermaid actress, just the actions of the studio but Rachel is a full blown narcissist, hates the source/legacy material and hates men on top of all that.
Yeah exactly Halle is a class act
Yes! Halle was so sweet to all the children as well. She gave Disney princess vibes in interviews. Where as this Rachel girl just comes across as very annoying and negative.
Yeah .., ngl she is acting like the total opposite of Snow White from what I’ve seen…
Snow White is NOT a narcissist. She’s a very sweet person!!!
I would’ve been a better Snow White than her and that’s saying a lot /j
I can live with Zegler not liking Snow White as a kid because she thought it looked scary. I can live with her not liking the prince that only has 5 minutes of screen time, I can live with her not liking romance stories but I can't give her a pass on spreading misinformation.
A man notices a girl he finds attractive and then flirts with her right after noticing her and continues after she responds in kind. It's not stalking!
JLongbone made a great response.
Or how the Dwarfs living in caves is a harmful stereotype. Even tho the Dwarfs live in a cottage and they just work as miners. And Dwarfs from European folklore and people with dwarfism are two different things.
It's so obvious these people haven't seen the movie ever or since when they were kids and if they see the movie recently they really weren't paying attention.
If they want to bash the original can't they even make sure what they're talking about is true?
It just shows how lazy those remakes are. Like she said, ''It's not 1930 anymore'', can't she do a Google search?
The fact that the Original Snow white is one of the most famous Disney movies and the Disney movie that started the Disney movies and the fact that she is disrespecting the movie is so damn obnoxious of her and it hurts the movie
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 Snow White didn't start the Renaissance, She started the Golden Age and the studio as a whole!
@@kingagrabowska9366Yeah I changed it and that's what I meant it was a rushed comment
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 It's okay. I make mistakes all the time when writing fast.
Aren’t dwarfs in European folklore like these strong warriors or badass dudes like in the Witcher?
It's interesting that people look at the Prince in Snow White like he somehow saved her. Like, yes his kiss did break the sleeping curse, but his role is nothing more than a prize she is rewarded with at the end of the film for staying a good person through-out her terrible life.
This!
About the kiss breaking the sleeping curse, actually nobody except the Evil Queen herself is aware of this is what undoes her curse. To the Dwarfs and the Prince, Snow White is officially dead to them and therefore is a very sad day for them.....but the fact that the Prince's kiss brought Snow White back to life is nothing more than a surprise miracle to both the Prince and the Dwarfs.
Right? Not to mention the fact that the queen expected her to be buried alive, but the dwarves didn't do that, they looked after her body instead, because she had won them over. If you think about it, she saved herself-- at least for long enough for help to arrive.
@@kingandrewcecil348 I mean, there was a deleted scene where the Queen did capture him. If they kept that in the movie, it would have shown that he probably overheard her and went to search for her after his escape.
Exactly
If Snow White would have failed, then Disney would have gone bankrupt, and if Disney would have went bankrupt, then they wouldn’t still be around today, and if they weren’t still around today then she wouldn’t have a job right now. If there’s one thing that I really hate, it’s entitlement.
THIS. This girl out there saying the original "cartoon" is outdated and saying nonsensical things about it, when in the first place, if it wasn't for this movie she wouldn't have been here right now 💀
people standing on the shoulders of giants need to be thankful they are there and not spit in the giant's eye.
Rachel: "it's a movie in 1930"
Also that movie: *is probably better than her acting career in any way*
This is why you need to know history
I wouldn't say they'd go bankrupt what will happen is they're probably gonna have to sell off Lucas Film or Fox
To be fair, Snow White (1937) is very outdated because in the 1930s animation was more about the spectacle, the experience and the mood rather than a solid story so if you want to adapt it for modern audiences it requires some major changes, but a gaslight gatekeep girlboss half assed remake is not what it needs
I dunno why even gaslight and gatekeep is used positively
@@msk-qp6fn Because people have memed the phrases into every freakin situation and scene in movies when characters even remotely do something close to gaslighting to the point where people treat it as normal now.
Rachel: “Look! Look! We’re replacing white princess with Latina princess. We’re so progressive!”
Elena of Avalor: “Am I a joke to you.”
when I heard that that's exactly what I was thinking. we already have a latina princess and she's awesome!
i rememder being so excited when she came out 😭😭😭
Right?
They chould Literly made a life acstion movie of her although she only a princess in a Disney show they chould do that.... But now i think it better they didn't use her for Elana it whould be insult to her character overal
yeah such a joke
Honestly, I have never wanted a movie to fail as much as want this remake to flop so hard. If it’s even the tiniest bit successful, it will set a new standard for Disney movies and they will just keep going. Really hope this movie just completely nosedives. Normally I would say if you want to watch it, even for the lols, then watch it. But for, I say, don’t watch it unless you pirate it or something. Don’t give them your money. Speak with your wallets! That’s the only way Disney will listen.
I can't imagine any parent wanting to bring their kids to this. And it's definitely going to flop hard overseas.
The Little Mermaid was the warmup. I think Disney wants this to be the starting gun. We can’t let that happen, not because we don’t want to hear stories about strong female leaders, but because we want to see NEW STORIES about strong female leaders that aren’t ruining what worked in the past and still works today.
Disney honestly should just scrap it. Live action remakes are clearly on the decline, and getting as much bad publicity as this isn’t going to make it any better.
It’s still unfathomable to me how much Disney has fallen from grace in just four years. Completely deserved
It doesn't even matter to them if they get bad reviews. If someone hate watches it or watches out of hope that maybe against all odds this one will be better than the last remake, they company has made money. That's all the Disney executives care about, so as long as the garbage is generating cash for them they'll keep churning it out.
@@snowangelncbut that’s part of the problem, some of the live-action remakes aren’t doing well in the box office. it took Disney two months to just barely break even on The Little Mermaid. i’m sure some live-action movies like Mufasa will do well but op was right when they said remakes are on the decline. at some point the trend will die off and come back again just like everything else in pop culture.
Fallen. It was like this for a while. It was always money. But money used to aline with good content. Now money aligns with bad content
@@AlechiaTheWitch no, I think that’s demonstrably not the case when Disney has been receiving constant bombs while high quality films like Oppenheimer and Spiderverse are massive hits.
I think this is just a reality most, if not all companies go through; once a studio becomes successful their name becomes a brand known for quality, the dumb higher ups that don’t actually understand how to make entertaining content assume they can just can coast off their past success til the end of time, which inevitably is something they cannot do (almost like paying a CEO so much more money than the rest encourages them to do less as they have a far bigger safety net when it’s time to pull out)
It’s hilarious every time it happens, and it just took longer for Disney to lose the faith of their audience because they are that big and had such a grip on popular culture for so long
@@snowangelnc but they aren’t now. Disney has lost a hilarious amount of money this year churning out garbage they assumed would generate cash.
That’s why I’m saying it seems particularly smart to scarp this one. It’s clear audiences are not willing to put up with the same garbage Disney has shoved in our throats for a while now, so it’s probably not going to be worth releasing one as controversial as this
The fact that they literally missed the point of Snow White’s name actually baffles me.
same, her appearance is literally her tag line and the intro of the story.
They missed everything.
Honestly, I'm fine with Snow White not having fair skin
Literally the only thing "snow white" about her was her skin, which is not a defining characteristic at all since the vast majority of Disney princesses are white. I would've liked it for this remake to give Snow more beautiful white features, she can have white hair, or a white dress, you could even make her blind and have pure white pupils, I think it'd be interesting to see a love story play out between a prince and a blind princess, plus it adds more to the diversity aspect since it gives more representation to blind people!
She’s literally only a quarter Latina her mom is half Latina and her dad is European
Disney have ruined one of the most treasured peices of media for me. As a feminine gay boy I've always held Snowhite dear to me because of the romantic parts. I've never felt romantic feelings the way most people do but I still want it. Snowhite was such an inspiration and model to me because the story tells me that I have to work for what I want in life (freinds, a roof, love) and that sometimes you can't always solve everything and you need to ask for help. Now that it's gone from the plot and she's telling everyone that "love is bad" she's basically insulted me for something normal I do. Why can't we ever have an ACTUAL feminist whenever we have a female lead? (Cinderella 2015 was assertive, kind, playful, and stood up for herself like in the original. Or how Elle Woods used her "girly knowledge" and femininity to help solve the case)
don't let a shitty cashgrab remake ruin the story for you. the original will always be there, while this remake will be forgotten after a few months :)
It’s really cool hearing how Snow White was an influence to you. She’s so much cooler than people give her credit for. I’m especially a fan of her found family. She wasn’t getting the love she deserved at home, but was able to find her place among people that truly respected her. There’s not even a clear way to describe the dynamic between the dwarves and Snow White, but there doesn’t need to be. The help each other, share in both joys and sorrows, and ultimately love each other immensely. And she’s the one who took the initiative in that situation!
Thanks for pointing out that it's a German tale... I kinda feel bad when I want to say I, as a German, feel misrepresented. I get that we need representation of cultures in movies, and I enjoy diversity in movies. But with snow white and the talk about a live action rapunzel (another German tale) I don't get why they would not just cast German actresses. It is our culture but because we are Germany we are not allowed to claim something like that? That's when I get the backlash and hate that I feel like I might come over as some FOXNews reporter
well the only races that "matter" are African and Mexican for the idiots on twitter than only watch movies because of the color of their skin.
It would be more representative to have a german play her, and it probably would feel more inline to the story than anything else but... who cares about that when skin color?
I'm not German, but I agree that if they were to more accurately represent other cultures, they should cast actors/actresses of those cultures, & provide acting opportunities to talented people elsewhere. It would also just be cool to have a Disney princess with a German accent.
@@citrizalso yes. We could start normalizing characters having the right accents. In adaptations of fairytales it's usually villains and sidekicks with accurate accents if they even bother, but everyone else either is American or has a british accent when most fairytales don't even take place in england. Beauty and the beast, cinderella, sleeping beauty, Aladdin, etc.
@@finland4ever55 Yeah, I wanted to mention the overwhelming presence of American/British accents, but to give credit where credit is due, Merida & Tiana are accurate at least.
Cultural appropriation
I find Walt Disney's passion when it came to making this film really so inspiring. He just really believed in himself and his story and he truly earned the success of his company. I love Snow White, the original, and I always will. I won't be watching the live action next year, I'll stream the original instead. I hate how Zegler is disrespecting the original movie, character and Walt Disney's very legacy.
Also, you can be feminine, like Snow White, and that doesn’t mean you aren't a strong female. Real strength lies in femininity as well, and also the right to choose what kind of woman you will be. It's okay to be girly, and that doesn’t make you weak.
Snow White choose to stay as a kind girl despite everything that happened to her. She cares for the dwarves despite them being 7 unknown stranger to her. She didnt hate the hunter despite him almost killing her.
She is powerful.
A loving mother, woman, female, is powerful.
The new snow white would just be a jerk. Strong, but a d!ck. Can you imagine a girl being a d!ck? lmao.
That’s why Legally Blonde is one of the best feminist films
@@one-onessadhalf3393omg your completely right, elles truely the definition of what a girlboss should actually be
Fun fact! In the film, the spell is broken by "love's first kiss", rather than "true love's kiss". It's funny to think that if Snow and the Prince had shared a peck any earlier she would have been asleep forever!
I always get genuinely surprised about the fact that people do not know snow white is a german tale. Like did they never go the library and read any children's books or fairy tales? Are some people living in that poor of a condition or are they just that uneducated and dumb despite having access to tools for learning? Like why aren't they seeing that we need to be more faithful to certain descriptions of the chracters? Like how do they not see that snow white IS already a strong person for keeping her positivity and kindness despite her abuse?
This fairy tale is by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the Germanness is literally in their first names and surname
bruh, i lived in the town where Snow White originates from (Lohr am Main) and you don't know how DISGUSTING it is, that they had to literally change the race of this character just because 'Oh it's a brown girl, brown girls are a trend now and we can get good points from the black people and we can prove we are not racist' well, changing a characters ethnicity to make it 'more suitable for a certain audience' is literally racism and has happened multiple times before where black characters were switched with white ones. I would have loved to see a german actress play snow white, i would have LOVED a german disney princess in a live action but NO, Disney does not care.
I’m sick of these girl boss agendas.: I fear what it’s going to do to the next generations of girls.. when I was a teen I had to deal with the society standard of beauty is thinness.. now my daughter who is 1 will have to worry about being Hollywoods version of beautiful, independent, “strong”, oh and now she will also have to be a leader 😵💫
The perverts in Hollywood want to invert the natural gender roles. Which would only lead to most people being miserable. Traditional gender roles are very beautiful and important for the functioning of society.
Right, there are only so many leadership roles available, and hierarchies are very capitalist anyway
But not TOO strong, or else she's going to emasculate any guy she meets, and women are meant to be wives and mothers and let the men provide. 🙄 Oh, but you're a gold-digger if you let them provide TOO much! Gawd, women just can't win, can we?
it was fine when it started but like any other trends it became too toxic.
The original Snow White film may be basic story-wise, but it is so unbelievably beautiful, innocent and heavenly in everything it does relating to pure aesthetics.
Florian's Castle in the Heavens, the yearnful, bitter-sweet melodies in the love songs, etc... it all comes together in a fairy tale as adorned and ornamented as a gothic cathedral. I was astonished when I first saw it now as an adult, and even though the later Disney films are more fleshed out, I have to say that none of them come off as grandiose and stately as the first one ever. And that's saying something because the later films are great too.
This remake feels more like a parody, and I can't help but just laugh at how sad and ironic it all is.
Well said! That’s exactly how I feel about the movie. It’s about a sweet princess who, armed with kindness, persists through adversity and triumphs in the end. She is the heroine of her own making, and she is rewarded for her goodness with that heavenly ending and the prince of her dreams. It’s a FAIRY TALE, for the gods’ sake! I was floored when I watched it again as an adult. It’s sublime.
I'm so tired of people saying that the Prince from Snow White is a creep for kissing Snow White when he thought she was dead.
People act as if he put his tongue down her throat while she looks like a regular corpse.
Maybe I'm just more comfortable with death because of my upbringing.
There's a European tradition that you would kiss dead people goodbye. You would also wait with a dying person because dying alone was one of the most horrible ways to die.
In Poland, you would spend three days with the dead body of your relative in the house so family and friends have time to say goodbyes. We even have pictures of family members in coffins, so we could remember them.
Americans ☕️
Still kinda creepy but when you explain it like that, I think that’s quite lovely. The movie should’ve put that kind of love and context into the story. It’s a shame that Disney doesn’t really expound on stuff like this in their remakes.
regardless of tradition, the kiss saved her life. it's like calling someone a creep for giving cpr.
@@RavenclawDaisy95 did you really have to add that. Did you. What was the point
especially since this IS a German /European story where they could fully well see this as normal and the prince simply saying goodbye to a lone person he found
"Ugly, arrogant and spiteful."
You know... now that I think about it, maybe Rachel should have been cast to play as the Evil Queen. She doesn't even need a script, she literally IS the character.
Disney cares so much about representation that they remove very representations of many groups. They removed Ariel as a ginger and removing one of the few roles made for people with dwarfism. They could actually find actors with dwarfism to help their careers, yet they don't want to. This movie will bomb like the Little Mermaid.
I agree with you but as a natural ginger, not many of us care about our roles being given to other colors/races/hair types. We're overrepresented already thanks to ginger tropes like the Redheaded Heroine and Redheaded Nerd. Little actors do and should care about their roles being erased/replaced by average-height actors because those roles were never there to begin with, while us redheads kind of suffer from an overabundance of weird representation already (Weasleys, anyone?), so having those roles re-cast aren't really a big deal, at least to me.
Not only that but they missed a chance for Albino representation for Snow White. We don’t see many Albino actors.
Are there any? I cant think of even one!@@destinymcintire2188
Blame Peter Dinklage for not allowing people with dwarfism to be in the film
@@gingergoddess8953 yeah the savage or exotic, weird how yall are fine with it despite it kinda being an problem. Good for you, personally it is ironic to me how black people do the things they dont want to other ethnicities even to fictional chatacters mainly the red heads
I’m realizing with this type of analysis that I’m really hating how underrated and misrepresented the princess are being
Honestly I love Snow White, the character, like she’s so young (and you can tell), had being through a lot and still was so compassionate, so caring, lovely, not believing that her stepmother would wanted to kill her until someone else shows her
And also gives you a lot of valuable messages, like her teaching the dwarfs to be organize and independent by taking care of their house, or the huntsman showing compassion for the little girl, or to have respect with the nature and with the living beings, like I know I got to love animals this much because of this type of movies ✨
So I HATE that they just treat her like “oh well she was just another damsel in distress”
I find race swapping of existing characters sooo insulting 😑 They clearly show they have absolutely zero interest in true and existing poc histories and fairy tales and princesses. So to pander to those that say Disney princess line up is too white, they just make an already existing princess a poc instead of making an individual true poc character. It’s insulting 🤷♀️
For the rest, they clearly haven’t understood the core or the message of the source material 😑 Which makes them look lazy and ignorant. A woman does not have to reject love and romance in order to be able to be strong 😑 Such an outdated notion. A woman can be strong and still be girly, want love, want to be domestic. It is not becessary to want to be a warrior, be a leader, have a career as the only way to be perceived as strong 🤷♀️ You know what is the best selling book genre in the world? Yup, romance 😝
theyre evolving backwards
Agree. Raceswaps are NOT progressive or representative - they're lazy, uncreative, insulting, and even racist 👎👎👎👎👎
And Disney has the nerve to call all of us audiences "racists" for hating the raceswapped versions, when yet they're the real racists for not letting POCs have their original characters in favor of sloppy seconds thinking that they're stupid enough to eat it up and applaud Disney for their "progressive" efforts 😤😤😤😤😤🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I also kind of resent that the prince was a stalker. There’s a lot of evidence that they knew each other in their wishing well interaction (she references him as the one she loves in her song, she doesn’t say for someone I haven’t met yet or something like many other princesses do. Plus he sings but one song for her. They were basically flirting the whole time????). And there’s other evidence that snow had feelings for him prior (sending him a kiss, batting her eyes, and hiding her appearance when she was wearing rags)
Even if they were seing each other before, that doesnt make him a stalker. They could have met by chance.
But I dont believe they met before, when she was singing and he appeared out of nowhere, she ran away from him.
Then he sang the continuation of her love song as a love confession and she responded to his feelings with physical signs
@@jessicafreitas3831 To be fair, she could've run away because she knows that her stepmother is intensely paranoid and would lose her mind to find Snow White romantically involved with someone, especially another noble, meaning political alliances meaning a threat to the throne. Not to mention in the original script it's mentioned that the queen tortures the prince so it's also possible that she can't risk being seen with him for either of their sakes.
I say we all take this moment to go show love for Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves, a film that was let down tremendously by its marketing and is probably one of the most clever takes on the story I’ve ever seen. It’s funny, it’s got great characters, it expands upon Snow and the Prince in a way that’s very smart and romantic.
And best of all, it’s not insulting the original 1937 movie at every turn and is doing its own thing without tearing down something else.
So go watch that movie rather than waste your money on this train wreck.
Red shoes is not perfect but it is such a sweet story ❤
And they had racebent snow white but it's different. Snow White is portrayed as asiam in the movie because it's simply a Korean movie, if it was done by America, the marketing would be all like "LoOk sHe's kOrEaN!!! ArE YoU hApPy???!!"
Red shoes is such a lovely film ❤
the original Snow White was a story about Snow gaining her independence from the Evil Queen and finding what makes her happy, I don't get how that's seen as a bad thing
it doesn't feel like Disney anymore 💔
It feels lousy today!
Y’know, I’m actually not mad that Snow White’s skin is not… well… Snow White. I’m just mad that they never gave her any other features that are white as snow. Please, it would’ve been so easy just to give her beautiful white hair, and it would’ve been interesting if Snow White was blind, maybe not even blind but just had beautiful white irises.
Also, the thing about not using actors with dwarfism is just so absurd omg-
Or cast someone with vitiligo, with striking white patches that bring attention worthy of a name. Maybe even feature some albino representation or just a freakishly pale person like me lol. Visible veins and all. Tan skin is basically a beauty standard at this point. Is it too egregious to hire a pale actress?
@@skitterly exactly, i would love to see an albino or a very pale german actress as snow white and i dont get why they didnt do that if they wanted diversity so much, casting a latina makes 0 sense
@@skitterly oh that honestly sounds really interesting
I think there are some fairy tale retellings that already did those stuff...my memory is foggy but there was snow night by barbara walker
Once I was listening to someone reading Snow White, and that version didn't specify where to put the white, the black, and the red. The guy said "so there was a chance the kid could have been dark skinned with red hair and white eyes, causing chaos in the castle", which I found to be a fun concept. You can make a lot of interesting designs if there's free color order.
Happy birthday, Aldone. Bless you and your love ones. And thank you for discussing the concerns about the Snow White remake and similar issues relating to it and the importance of respecting past masterpieces and showing humility.
Yes! Also happy birthday! 👍🏻 🎉
The only live action version of Snow White I'll accept is Mirror Mirror, as far as I know, this one doesn't exist.
Hell! Twisted Wonderland did a better modern spin on the story in Book 5 with the character representing the evil queen turned out to be more so insecure and questioning his own beauty and why he wasn't 'the fairest' when in reality it was just because (since him and snow white's counter part are actors in this universe) people were more so able to relate to someone with more struggles than someone they felt was more out of reach.
(Which this book I feel like so many TWST fans get it wrong just because I see way too much hate aimed towards Neige who literally did nothing wrong)
It's really pathetic two separate pieces of media do a better form of retelling the story than the original company smh
@jonelrobinson5189 100% they made her a badass but kept her kind nature and still gave the prince an active role, 10/10 movie
YES! Someone finally said it. Mirror Mirror did a phenomenal job.
Not to mention that when Vil tries to poison Neige, he realizes how deep his insecurities go to the point where he attempts to murder Neige.
@@SirSaintRipper frrr boi realized how far it went and he wasn't proudest of himself afterwards
It's truly sad that the current generation lacks the understanding of what the original films meant and the emotion they invoked . Now a days a lot of movies feel shallow and empty of the emotions and meaning that they had five or even ten years ago .
Don't blame a generation on a handful of powerful corporations putting money first. I feel bad for everyone growing up with these films.
Also, in 1937 ppl didn’t need a boss babe in the screen, they needed a kind person that keeps a good attitude despite the circumstances the post-depression and pre-war years were also very hard
Greta Gerwig better enjoy her time in the Barbie spotlight, because this movie looks even more toxic than the poison apple from the original Snow White.
I don't understand how Greta Gerwig can underestimate Barbie so well but not Snow White. 😢
Greta Gerwig is the scriptwriter? Well, this makes some sense.
Disney has risen to utter hubris. As they say, pride before the crash. No more movie magic, no more originality. Please, no more remakes, sequels (unless it has a stort arc) and prequels.
Snow white represents selflessness, kindness, friendship and her true beauty from with in. She befriends nature, the forest creature and latter the dwarfs. The Queen represents vanity, selfishness and envy, Her true inner ugliness is manifested by her transformation into the old women (her true self) and is latter defeated by the dwarfs, animals and nature because of their friendship and love for her. At the well Snow white tells the doves (The viewer) that the well is a whishing well and she makes
a wish for her true love "I'm wishing for the one I love, to find me today" and magically her true love appears at that moment. When they both sing their songs they are showing each other their inner beauty through song. and share a kiss through the proxy of nature by the dove.
Rachel Zegler comment about prince charming stalking snow white is totally lost on her, Nor is It about power and being a leader, its about kindness and the value of friendship. And prince charming is the manifestation of her "true love" wish. Its a fairy tell, meant to be simple to understand but Rachels inner self has turned it into something ugly, like the Evil Queen.
We went from lovely Snow White to smug Snow Weird
Someone should really send this video to Rachel. Honestly, I think she’s capable of growth and admitting she was wrong. She’s young, she was being told by the writers and directors and producers how amazing the new script was and that this Snow White is “a new type of princess” (which is basically the same exact kind of princess we get post-Frozen where they have to insist they’re independent and girlbosses who want to rule the kingdom).
She probably didn’t hear ANYONE currently working at Disney Studios actually tell her about the significance and merits of the classic Snow White. It’s sad but… legitimately, I could see modern Disney being that incompetent and cocky to think they can do better and should ignore the past
After all, this is the same studio that made Peter Pan a villain who aged out of the wholesome Disney child star role and his life went downhill… ignorant to the fact that his original voice actor did just that to tragic results. Past Disney (even up to the early 2000s) wouldn’t have made these kind of blunders.
You say post-Frozen, but Raya and Moana are well-written female characters who don't fall into the girlboss trope.
@@OpticalSorcerersince I've only watched Moana, I can agree she's the kind of princess past Disney was capable of creating. Moana still has the Disney magic we know.
she shouldn't need anyone to tell her. you can ask people in Africa if they know snow white and they will say yes. when you're being paid a boatload of money to portray one of the most iconic characters in fiction ever, you should do at least 15 minutes of due diligence to understand what made them icionic in the first place
@@IAmTheEagleHTM I recommend Raya as well, but the storytelling/messages are iffy: the film's message is about trust, but Raya's trauma is never validated by the person who wronged her. She instead just kinda has to bury it and accept her need to trust others, even though there's never a "it's okay to be cautious" message.
Plus there was some criticism that they generalized Southeast Asia rather than picking a handful of countries (or just one) to represent.
@@OpticalSorcererMoana was a good character, the only thing that I'd say could've been fine tuned to set it apart cause the plotline follows Tangled's plot closely. With it being a road-trip type movie where the sheltered girl goes out to see the thing she always wanted to but wasn't allowed to by her demanding authority figure. She finds out about her past with the help of a goofy guy who's the comic relief.
This movie is trying to make us buy the fact that the Evil Queen who is played by Gal Gadot (Who is an actual model) is Jealous of some bratty latina girl (not snow white)
Apparently it's the fairest LEADER of them all instead of jealousy of beauty.
What does her being latina have to do with anything 🚩🚩🚩
@@elianperezjaberThe fact that Snow white is described as pale as the snow and is a german girl from the medieval era, it's not like Ariel who is a mermaid, meanwhile Snow white ethnicity is stated
@@elianperezjaber Latinas arent white as snow
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 Yeah but the commenter said it's unrealistic that a model would be jealous of "some bratty Latina girl" as if her ethnicity makes her any less attractive than the evil queen and thus the evil queen shouldn't be jealous
I'm starting to think that Disney is allowing Rachel to speak about her character in the way she is because of the writers and actors strikes. Shes making actors look vapid, demanding, and not worth what she is already getting in pay and i think right now that benefits Disney and their shareholders. If we let Rachel hurt our opinion as actors as a whole, we get closer to seeing Disney's reasoning to not give raises. (beyond the obvious CEO profits)
The biggest problem, other than remaking this classic in the first place, which did not need to be done with hiring a narcissistic diva who clearly has no respect for source material, hates the character and has an ego that has her own ZIP Code, and has no talent on top of everything else.
Right like who does she think she is
@@IHeartMyHappyPlace exactly I’m just gonna say it she can’t sing she can’t act. I doubt she’s that pretty I’m saying I don’t because I’m blind and I can’t see her but I doubt she’s that pretty and I can tell you right now. Her personality is ugly at sin.
Well, I don’t mind that she’s Latina, she’s fair skinned enough. She looks like the character and can sing beautifully. But come on girl, since when dreaming and looking for love is a bad thing? Self proclaimed “girl bosses” might be lying to themselves.
Honestly every time Rachel speaks, she’s disrespecting the entirety of Disney… Snow White isn’t some “outdated cartoon from the 1930s”, it is THE first ever full-length animated film in full color to reach a nationwide audience. In my opinion, it’s already empowering because it’s not only the first full-length animated film, it also has a female main character, and female main villain! Snow White is also not stupid or weak, she’s as strong as she can be in her position, she’s incredibly empathetic and clever, she’s kind, she’s caring towards nature and animals. She was weary of the old woman with the apples, but she had no reason to believe the woman had any ill intent, and Snow also had zero clue that apples could be magically poisoned. The prince was also not a stalker, he simply saw Snow and fell in love.
Snow also fell in love at the beginning, too. I will say, yes, that’s a sign of the 1930s, the whole love at first sight thing (although the film does take place in like the 14th-16th century), but a live action remake could absolutely write further into that, maybe make it so the prince and Snow have some sort of previous relationship where they know each other, that would be absolutely fine.
Also, the live action could’ve just had the dwarves, and show the seven dwarves being hard-workers that helped to save Snow in her time of need, they learned that there are people out there that don’t judge them and will treat them equally and kindly, and once Snow is with the prince the dwarves could have the opportunity to do more in the world, or they can have the option to remain in the cottage and forest. There is potential to make Snow White progressive, while still keeping it loyal to the original- like Cinderella, and even Maleficent, in my opinion both of those movies are wonderful and were loyal to their originals, but they added onto the stories and made the stories flourish even greater with all of the potentials that we are able to give now that we are in a modern era.
Just… Snow White is honestly a forward movie, when you look back at the time and the accolades it received. Everyone who has made the live action remake what it is so far and the awful PR probably has Walt cringing in his grave.
Snow White is such a lovely character and I love how her kindness are her strength instead of physicality. She literally wakes up in the middle of the forest and is "ashamed of the fuss she's made" and starts apologizing to the animals. I hate how nowadays hollywood and some people think that "strong female character" is some kind of a warrior who doesn't want love, marriage or kids when being strong doesn't mean you can't also be feminine and soft.
Disney: Skin as white as snow.
Also Disney: Casts a Latina as Snow White.
Snowwhite is a german white as snow skin princess
This Movie: has an obnoxious latina actress playing her
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375
The original animated Snow White didn’t feel that it was set in Germany. Just saying.
@@AnaandVerity1259what you needed a German flag in the movie in order to be authentic?Read history books and look at the photos and maybe go to the museum and you’ll find that architecture, furniture and even little things like cups and cuckoo clock (which originated from Germany) is very authentic to german culture. Design of the characters are true to original. I don’t know maybe it’s about clothes, then look at the photos of 17th century clothes and how detailed it is, there is no way it could be animated back in 30s.
I highly recommend you to watch video about Snowhite historical clothes (sorry, I don’t remember the title) in that video people explain that not only clothes, but also the environment indicates that it is Germany 17th century.
If they wanted a POC snow white they could have made her Japanese. Why specifically Japanese? Because most Japanese people are very pale. That's why I didn't say asian because other asians are mainly tanned. And no, I don't mean Japanese girl in the middle of Germany, I mean change the setting to Japan and have everyone be Japanese. That alone would be much more interesting than a German erasure movie
@@bazhenapartos4303exactly
8:54 i absolutely hate this argument because it shows she likely has not watched the original. Snow White was at the end saved by a prince, but throughout the story she was doing stuff on her own and she wouldve died [or other outcomes] way earlier if she wasnt as smart / hardworking or whatever. Snow White earned being saved by the prince, it didnt just happen to her.
(I feel like i do have to add that the way she is inevitably saved by being kissed by a man she doesnt really know is odd, but they can improve that.)
Implanting the idea into young girls' minds that they shouldn't dream about falling in love is bad. We need to show more girls that they can be leaders and such, but girls are allowed to fall in love and to be happy. We don't see Snow White's thoughts, but considering she was not treated very well, she likely wasn't just thinking of a prince and she wanted freedom. That's probably why she was so happy just in the cottage with the dwarves, no prince attatched.
TLDR: Snow White *was* being a leader and earned her prince at the end. Also, girls shouldn't be taught that they aren't allowed to want things that'll make them happy (love or other things).
Im ngl i paused the video then wrote this and it turns out aldone basically says the same thing right after. Whoops
We seriously need to somehow harness the power of Walt spinning in his grave at what they have done to Disney. It would be better then solar, wind, and coal combined.
At this point I’m starting to wonder if Disney is trying to dip it’s toes into the “Hate Watch” market. Disney has so much power, I doubt they would have let such messy PR just slip by like that. We know it works. Lion King 2019 is the highest grossing film of all time and their were plenty of people hating it. Mulan was a scandal and a half and it still made bank. They’ve been making these remakes long enough that they know what works and what doesn’t, and in this attention economy, hate and debate gets the seats.
people like to think that these live action remakes are destroying beloved characters when in reality these remakes are nothing more than shovelware on the same level as the direct to dvd sequels that will soon be forgotten while the original classics will continue to be loved and remembered.
There is actually some decent straight to Dvd sequels like Lion King 2 and Lion King 1/3, an extremely goofy movie, 101 Dalmation Patch's london adventure and even Aladdin and the King of Thieves
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 there are also some decent remakes like Cinderella and Jungle Book, but that doesn't change what they represent as a whole and none of these movies change the legacy of the originals in the long run.
@@MegaInferGoku19617Yeah I feel like Sequels are better than the remakes
Cinderella 3 lowkey slaps though
For real
She ran from the prince because it was also improper for a girl to be alone with a man back in those times but they both did love each other regardless
The funny thing is in the Brothers Grimm story Snow White wasn’t saved by the prince. Someone dropped the coffin and the apple fell out.
Halle Bailey was gracious , respectful and so thrilled to be Ariel …if Rachel were like that , the back lash would be dampened
Exactly. No point of playing the role if you don’t care for the character.
It is so frustrating to see anything about this movie while watching My Happy Marriage on Netflix. There are many parallels to the protagonist and Snow White and it handles the trauma so well by showing her kind heart instead of making her a girl boss.
I’ve been meaning to watch My Happy Marriage but never got around to it- so your comment makes me want to watch it ASAP lol
Snow White was not the first full-length animated film. It's just the first one produced in the USA. We need to stop rewriting history to make us look better. The real first full-length animated film was from Argentina from 1917. It's call la apostol.
Such a shame for Ms. Zegler. She had such a promising career ahead of her.
I really wish people would stop misusing the word "woke"
Woke means the acknowledgement of social issues. Am I right?
@@JohnpaulEzeamama alert to racial prejudice and discrimination
It's the circle of life. The movie that made Disney rise will become Disney's downfall.
Oh, the irony! 😂😂😂😂
Actually, “The Adventures of Prince Achmed” (1926) is the oldest surviving full length animated film predating Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by 11 years.
Had the 1917 Argentinian animated film “El Apóstol” (“The Apostle” in English) not been destroyed in a fire, then it would’ve had the distinction as the first full length animated feature ever made.
In 1937 being a housewife and having a nice house with lots of utensils and feeling pride on taking care of a house and your husband was THE bigest goal of that era, because it meant stability.
And yeah, I understand the “wokeness” and “girlpowerness” but this is not the point of SnowWhite and definitely not the point of a remake.
Let’s all agree and stop watching these shameful content.
The only live-action Snow White I would acknowledge is the one in the theme parks for meet & greets.
Not Only is this Not a Original Idea as it was done in Snow White and the Huntsman but everything is Changed ignoring the Original as a Romantic Classic with the Dwarfs not being the main focus and everyone especially the main character was Miscasted for pointless Agendas, this isn’t what made Walt Disney stand his Company as it’s the Complete Opposite of the Imagination and Creativity the Original had.
Just imagine how broken Walt could feel if he saw what the actress of his first animated movie thinks about it
I wonder if anyone else sees the biggest irony? The remake has all the power, the resources, the "magic" of CGI as it were, but got caught up in trying to be seen as the better film. It tries to degrade the original and insist that it's the better one, but people prefer the original due to its innocence and sincerity. In the end, rather than being sincere and enjoying its own beauty, the remake is turning itself ugly trying to knock the other one down, only to be knocked down itself.
Does that story sound familiar to anyone else?
It's so sad that Disney is disrespecting the very film that established it as a company that has lasted for almost 100 years now
It’s always kind of felt strange to me that some of the cast members proudly shit on one of the most influential and revolutionary films in cinema. Regardless if it’s bait or not, it just seems like a cheap attempt at modernizing it.
"Somewhere, somehow, Walter Disney is rolling in his grave."
These new “actors” are ungrateful for those that came before them.
The movie mirror mirror is literally my version of a live action Snow White and they casted lily Collin’s as Snow White and Julia Robert’s as the evil queen. I loved the way they changed the story to make Snow White seem graceful but she also is a fighter too. She still had the same characteristics and personalities as the original. She makes a meal and cleans for the dwarves (who are people with actual dwarfism) and is a girl who is in love and throughout the story you find that she never actually falls asleep and the kiss to break the spell actually came from her saving the prince from a love spell. Like it’s just a better movie for Snow White.
The thing I hate the most about Rachel talking about the new movie is that she sounds so arrogant. Like she just KNOWS this version will be SO much better. And how Snow White was SO weak for wanting love.
And hell, the new story kind of undersells Snow White’s leadership because she decides to become a strong leader because her father told her to.
And sure, the original Snow White can be a pretty scary movie, the only thing that I remembered from the movie as a child was watching the queen scream while her hand was turning into the hag’s, and what a visceral feeling that inspired in me. And as someone who loves the horror genre, that moment was awesome. But I digress. I never was fond of any of the remakes, and this doesn’t make me any more fond of them. Especially when they try to shoehorn in more progressive values instead of naturally incorporating them into the story. Especially when the shoehorned ones always feel insulting and hollow.
I am just confused on why she is doing it when she detest the movie so much.
Imagine during the promotion press her keep on saying how much she hates the movie and talk down other casts especially the prince. "We r not gonna talk about u bcs (Anti)Snow doesn't need any".
The awkwardness and disrespect.
She really thinks she is doing a huge favor on this whole planet.
But seriously, what's even the story about?
> Sweet Snow White get race swapped. (Atleast Haley wasn't toxic and had a beautiful voice but Rachel? Hard to say.) Then what happened to her being fairest of all? The whole point of jealousy .
>The seven drawfs got kicked out and replaced with .....I don't even know what are they. Then who will drive away Evil Queen?
>Prince will probably wouldn't be there. So who will wake her?
>Snow has a father ..so what happened to the queen? Then there's no plot of her being jealous and posion apple.
They really doing anything.
I hate how wanting true love is seen as "sexist." As if its somehow WRONG for a woman to want to be loved by a man. As if marriage isn't supposed to be a two way street, where both individuals love and support each other.
Two great videos two days in a row. You do a good job explaining what sucks about all of these remakes and the attitudes of the people involved while not being a loud, hyperbolic anti-woke whistleblower about it. Also, Happy Birthday!
I hope Rachel sees all this videos and finally understands that she did not understand anything about the story, in the first place...
I suppose we should be lucky that they did not have (at least not yet) a scene where the new Snow White wields a sword and handily defeats the prince for his "Creepy" behavior, thus validating her as a "strong" and modern woman
They should have took a page from Snow White in Once Upon a Time. She was a badass female character which an in-depth backstory yet she still found importance in true love. That, I think, is a great example of how you can have both an empowering female lead and still be faithful to the source material and have something entirely new from it at the same time
Dude that is the PERFECT example! Have you read the book?
I feel so bad about this remake, because from all disney films, this is the one that had the most potential to be improved.
It's the way to make finger waves like in the 30s😂
The only way this could be any more poetic is if Disney rises with snow white to only fall with snow white
Irony in full circle 😂😂😂😂😂
She is so disrespectful to what literally created modern animation and solidified Disney itself it makes me so angry
All theses Disney live actions just represents “If there isn’t a problem, don’t fix it.”
"Fearless, fair, brave, and true." She rushed that line out in a such a way you can tell Disney told her to memorize those words. They're just like the reboot of Cinderella aggressive pushing "Have courage and be kind." It's the same false, forced garbage and I don't believe it. That word 'fearless' already has me thinking we're going to have a Mary-Sue on our hands. Yay. Can't wait. 😕 'Fearless' is not the same as brave, and she'll have no character arc.
1:00 no. The story was writen by the Grimm brothers in Germany and was first published in 1812. However they haven't created the tale. It's folklore, something passed verbally through generations. The story itself is several hundred years old!
What Disney did in 1937 was a "children friendly" adaptation. It had singing and romance, only one murder attempt and the ending of the witch/ stepmother is also different.
I can't wait to see Snow White completely body the huntsman instead of him having a change of heart and letting her escape /sarcasm
I can’t understand why the prince has to be removed. The biggest problem for his character was that he had barely any screen time, and with good reason. The prince was originally going to have a bigger role in the original Snow White, with him being kidnapped by the evil queen after he refused to marry her. However, his subplot was cut after the animators couldn’t properly animate a male character like him. If this live-action remake cared enough, it could have reused the prince’s story thanks to not having the technological limitations as in the 1930’s, with the added bonus of a potential organic girl boss moment for Snow White in that she’s the one who manages to save the prince. It’s so annoying, especially since the other live-action remake don’t remove their princes (with the Cinderella remake and arguably the Little Mermaid remake expanding upon their princes).
Disney is on the roll destroying itself

I’m very well excited for this action version of the Disney, Snow White
Brothers Grimm didn't write the fairy tales. They collected folktales to write them down.
Bruh, the sheer AUDACITY of these people boils my blood. Had the original 1937 film flopped or not existed at all, Disney, Hollywood and dare-I-say the ENTIRE WORLD would not be the way it is today. I'm genuinely not exaggerating when i say this, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs literally changed the world and you're really gonna treat it like that? Absurd.
For me, growing up, Snow White story was about humility and her discovering what she's capable of. And that for me is Women Empowerment. Women Empowerment doesn't always need to be about being a girl boss and not needing any man. It could also be about self discovery and empowering other people, not just women, to see the best in themselves. And that's what Snow White did with the 7 dwarves. And her character development from the shy girl living in the castle, to a strong dependable woman with the dwarves. Disney should stop making complicated storylines, and just focus on the true essence of the originals.
The fact that we forget and try to forget that Disney has made live action Peter Pan lmao
It's like a bunch of people just taking paintings from museums and "remaking" them to be what they "should be."
Better yet, to take comparison, it's like the artist who made the statue of the little girl in front of the bull in New York. They need to take something down to build their messages up.
“With that being said, I’m still gonna watch this crap.” That had me dying 😂😂😂
