In Defense of 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

- Rachel Zegler and Peter Dinklage have both made some comments in regard to the original 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that are inaccurate. I wanted to help clear the air by going through their comments one by one and defending the story and beauty of the original. And just to make sure my memory served me right, I re-watched the animated film so it would be fresh in my mind while making this video.
This is the longest video essay I have done to date, and I way underestimated how long it would take me at first. Now that I have a bit more experience doing these, I will hopefully get faster at putting them out for you all.
Also, sorry if I sound weird a few times throughout or have a couple pauses, I had this sore right on my tongue that made me have a slight lisp for a few days.

Sorry for the sound quality, everyone! I will work on getting it more balanced in future videos. Thank you for the feedback!
I actually am enjoying the quieter video is sounds very relaxing
Well said, the story is about love conquering evil.
I like how she is so opposed to the princess-saved-by-the-prince trope when all the prince does in this film is capture her affection and give her a smooch.
Love is wonderful, and it doesn't take away from who you are as a person. If anything, true love adds positivity to your life!
@@yourlittlesistersproductionsThe weird part is that she was asleep when she was smooched if she was awake and consensual then ok, ya don't walk up to someone in a coffin and kiss it on the lips it's not good
@SkylarThompson-mu1qs In many cultures, it is very common for you to give a goodbye kiss or hug or other form of affection to say goodbye while they are in their coffin. He wasn't trying to make out with her, it was seen as a way for him to say goodbye to the woman he loved because he thought she was dead. He bows down next to her coffin right after, showing respect and grief. Also, if the only way to wake you up from the sleeping death was for your one true love to give you a brief peck on the lips otherwise you stay in a coma forever, I think most of us would want our love to wake us up 😋
@@yourlittlesistersproductionsI 100% agree with you. Besides, if the dwarves had any problem with him kissing a "dead" Snow White, they would have stopped him.
Well of course the princess not really that special compared to later characters. Don't forget they were always intending to do more with them, but animation limitations at the time minimize his uses.
@@SkylarThompson-mu1qs
The thing is, the prince and Snow white were basically already a couple...
It was only because of the queen that they weren't allowed to be together.
So it's not like he kissed a total stranger. And it's okay to kiss your secret lover as a goodbye, and even if she was just asleep.
Well done.
Also can we just take a moment to address something? The whole "the prince can't save the woman" thing - which is really a "the MAN can't save a woman" thing - is not only absurd but DANGEROUS. Reason being, what it teaches young boys is that they'd better not come to a girl's aid if she's in trouble, better not defend her, better not stand up for her otherwise they're "in the way" and being "problematic" - they're taught - programmed, really - to think that women don't want or need their help - so when something DOES happen, what then? When a woman DOES need a man to stand up for her and defend her - because the reality is, in real life, women are physically on average smaller and weaker than men - the average woman is 5'4", the average man 5'9", with the average man being at least twice her physical strength due to having naturally bigger, stronger muscles, particularly in the upper body. That's not to insult women - that's human biology. That's how our species - like MOST species that have distinct genders - evolved because we SELECTED for males that were on average bigger and stronger and had those masculine traits so that they could hunt mammoths, defend the tribe from other tribes and so on. The women HAD to be protected for most of human history because we didn't live in cities but in caves and huts - and the only way to get a next generation, then as now, was for the women to bear children - which means that for at least 9 months plus the time they spend feeding and caring for the baby, women were in an especially VULNERABLE state - vulnerable to predators, to rival clans, but especially the BABY was vulnerable - and she carried the baby inside of her.
So it's only natural for men to be pre-programmed with a natural INSTINCT to protect and "save" women. It's been our job for 300,000 years since our species evolved into being, and for MILLIONS of years if you include human ancestors. All primates have larger males than females - and in almost all cases the job of the male is to defend the females from outsiders and predators. So WHY, then, is it suddenly "WRONG" or "BACKWARD" for a man to - gasp - act on millions of years of gut instinct and protect someone who IS physically less powerful and might - GASP - need his help?
I'm not saying women can't defend themselves or be leaders or anything like that. Certainly, living in modern societies and cities has changed things a bit - though not entirely. Women still carry the next generation in their wombs and their physiology is different because of it. Women are still smaller and less physically strong than men on AVERAGE - note, average - and women, unlike we men, cannot just go walk around in a dark street at 1AM without worrying about being raped and murdered by a much bigger, stronger assailant. I'm 6'2", 210 lbs and have a good amount of muscle - so I'm a VERY different target from my wife, who is 5'4" and cannot lift with both arms what I can pretty easily with ONE. The fact is, our experiences are not the same because of that. I don't have to worry about the things she has to worry about. I have to worry about HER if I'm not there and she's taking the dog out at night, and I do. Because you never know what kind of creeps are out there.
So again, why is it suddenly wrong for a man to save a woman? It doesn't in any way mean the woman is a lesser being - if anything, men save women because women are held ABOVE men in worth - we SACRIFICE our safety and well-being to defend them. Think about that. A man who doesn't HAVE to is throwing himself between a woman and a source of danger that could get himself killed - why does he do that? CLEARLY it's because he places more value on HER life than his own. That's how this works. I would take a bullet for my wife, or step between her and an angry bear - not because I think my size and strength make me "better" than her or a "better leader" or because I don't respect her but because to me, it's better that I am killed than her. Because her life in my eyes holds more value than my own. That's WHY men save women.
So think about that the next time you hear someone complain about a "damsel in distress being saved by a man" - why is the man WILLING to save her? Surely he doesn't have to put himself in danger. He could just pretend he saw nothing, go home and have a cold drink and read a book and say it's someone else's problem. Also, when a man saves another man who is less physically capable, nobody complains. It's logical. People CHEER when some young guy is being bullied and then the big guy in class stands up to the bully for him. People LOVE that. But if it's a girl just let HER handle it? That's not realistic.
I honestly don't get why people get so worked up over people helping others when the one helping is a man and the one needing the help is a woman. Just like you said, if a little guy is being picked on and a bigger guy comes along and helps, everyone cheers. Same with a woman helping a woman. We all need help sometimes, and we can all help somebody else sometimes. It doesn't make either person less than the other. Thank you for your comment!
@kalevipoeg6916 You have explained it much better than most commentators. Thank you. Also, as a young girl I was always or even sometimes bullied by my peers. My best friend Dan would always escalate the situation and bring me somewhere safe. Years later in college, my boyfriend at some point also helped me and I appreciated his advice, presence and knowing he could fight smartly with fists, and the right words. Nowadays, you don't need a weapon (in some circumstances) to defend or protect yourself and your girlfriend/wife/best friend/sibling,etc, you just need to know how to de-escalate some difficult situations that you come across. This is something I've learned as a skill too, in case my boyfriend isn't around.
You are definitely right. This wrongness of a "Snow White " movie is a dangerous message. I hope most of the population is smart enough to not go and see it with their kids or themselves at all. Young boys and girls should be taught the right skills to survive in this fast-paced, thriving world with good people and corrupt people.
Women are such fools to try to eliminate mens orotective nature
I think it's also just the general 'it's okay when WE do it" disposition. We get constant role reversal spamming modern works, taking all these roles that are considered 'sexist' and switching them around. It's okay if the female saves the boy, in fact it's okay if they do it in a way that openly demeans them and makes them look incompetent, which was the main beef they had with it done the other way round. There's this constant 'underdog syndrome' to it all, that it feels less like a representation thing and more just a disposition similar to a little sibling who just always thinks they get the short end and should be allowed to win and get all the best stuff. When they play unfair they're just evening the odds.
Thanks for this. I‘ve been thinking along similar lines. While I doubt I‘ll be influenced by Disney films at this stage of my life, the message to boys and young men seems to be that they not only shouldn‘t help and support women, they should avoid them completely because their input and their very presence aren’t welcome. That‘s no longer feminism but rather a call for separation and even segregation.
At least Halle Bailey showed gratitude, loyalty, enthusiasm, and passion towards her role in The Little Mermaid. She has tremendous talent while staying humble and lovable throughout. She has a very kind-hearted and likable personality too ❤🧜♀️
Also if you’re paying attention. The queen was already in power, and she was already beautiful, but she was also selfish and greedy. She wanted to also be the fairest. Which is why she wanted to kill Snow White. Not because of anything else, but because Snow White was the fairest. She was beautiful, not only outwardly, but inside also. And this was a testament to how much the dwarves loved her.
This is what Rachel Ziegler missed. And I think she is even more fit to be the evil queen lol.
When does the actress say she wants to be evil?
I agree! Wanting the purest of love as a result of surviving abuse is a normal, human reaction to that abuse. It is not at all a weakness or an abnormality for her to dream of that. By the way, surviving that kind of abuse takes unbelievable strength in the first place. You have no idea how bad it truly is unless you have survived it yourself. I survived this kind of abuse IRL myself and guess what? I, too, dreamed of finding true love. That's just plain human.
I'm glad you're here to tell your story! And love is a wonderful, positive thing to have in one's life.
Preach! 👏
Snow White was so kind and gentle that the huntsman couldn't bring himself to harm her, her kindness saved her ass so often
I‘ve heard that in the new version, Snow White gets the better of the huntsman and ends up sparing HIS life! I wish I was making that up.😢
@@alannothnagle kill me
It's sad how much Disney hates their own history.
I hate this new idea that femininity and innocence is portrayed as a weakness. Being nurturing and caring is also a sign of strength.
I'm so sick of movies trying to make women all girl bosses trying to rule the world, with masculine qualities. Or to just think love/romance is a bad thing. Let us have our fairytales for Christ's sake. I relate more to feminine heroines, bring them back!
Absolutely agree! There is strength in femininity, in being kind even after horrible things have happened to you, and in staying positive and optimistic for the future and wanting love in your life.
@@yourlittlesistersproductions totally agree!
This is the same reason why the DuckTales reboot rubbed me the wrong way (aside from the kids just being outright obnoxious in it). All of the female characters are trying so hard to be stereotypically male in it. I always loved the family chemistry of the characters in the original, even with the unrelated characters. Webby, for instance, was treated like a little sister to the boys and there was a fun playful atmosphere of kids being kids. They annoyed each other, but they also cared for and looked out for each other. Webby was a sweet little girl who just wanted to be part of the adventures and managed to get the gang out of scrapes through her own fun ways. Then I watched the new series and saw her room where she had a plush doll nailed to the wall with a knife. It was just so needlessly cruel and mean spirited. It made me sad. It basically said "not only is femininity unwelcome here, but it deserves to be killed." What an ugly message to convey through what was once a sweet character.
Yeah. As someone who's positive, I absolutely DESPISE the idea that kindness, optimism, and nurturing are considered as weaknesses. All of these three traits are my strengths, and it's really sad how a lot of people hate on others and a ton of fictional characters for having those three traits alone, because they really shouldn't.
@@fractiouslemon😂 what's wrong with that. Honestly, in reality I still hang alot of boys even at my age. I felt like I really one of them. Its because I know what fun is and not so fun. Webby sounds like Gwen from Ben 10. Yeah practically its really nornal
I think it's fine for the Prince to "save" Snow White. I think what Rachel objects to is that she WANTS the Prince to save her, not that she wants to save herself. "Some Day My Prince Will Come" is what Rachel remembers. But here's the thing, that's at the beginning of the movie, when she's trapped and helpless. When the Hunter basically sets her free, it's Snow White saving herself all the way. She gets help from the Dwarfs, but it's more of a friendship not a "manly courage" thing. Snow White wins their hearts by taking care of them, and in return they want to take care of her. It's mutual. Also, let's also remember that Snow White never belittles them, thinks they are weird because of their shortness, or anything like that... in 1937. They don't paint the Dwarfs as jokes, even if they are comedy characters. You're laughing with them, not at them. So yeah, the movie can be dated... but because it's basically an elongated Merry Melodies cartoon with barely a story. It's not dated for it's messages.
1937 Snow White is not just about the story, it is about it's place in Theatrical History. Remember this 1937 and yet Disney found a way to use layered glass plates to give a 3d look to a 2d cartoon. It had Synchronized sound and music. If Snow White is a flop, Disney goes bankrupt.
Snow White was a pioneer for the industry of animated films! It is what made Disney the Disney we know today. So sad that this is how they treat a piece of not just their history, but film history.
It’d be funny if the remake of a movie that made Disney what it is today would be the movie that puts it back where it was.
she could have had this as a career-making move, even if people are getting tired of these remakes. but no, she let her ego take the wheel and it seems she wants to take the snow white character for her and herself only - a BELOVED character for many generations. i do think that she has the talent, i have seen a picture of her face with a vulnerable expression which reminded me of snow white. but after watching her interviews, i probably won't get my mind off her off-screen persona if ever i see her in a film or show.
The fact that she is so young and only has a few movies to her name so far makes me wonder if she never learned the PR side of acting in Hollywood. Idk if she's trying to be relatable, but if she doesn't learn how to positively promote her projects, she will have a much harder time getting roles.
I was honestly happy for her because I like seeing more young Spanish stars making it, but for the past two weeks, I found out she has an ego and she's only in her early 20s. She needs to calm her ego down because she's only been in two movies that had mixed reviews, and this the new snow white is definitely gonna be something.
@yourlittlesistersproductions contrast her with Jenna Ortega, who's actually younger. I think it's a personality flaw she needs to overcome if she wants to succeed in Hollywood.
I think what disgusts me more is how the current stewards of the Disney brand are not properly paying any reverence and celebrating Walt's legacy. If Walt had not taken the chances he had during the early years of Disney, we would've not have the advancement of traditional animation taken seriously as art in film. When Zegler reduces the significance of Snow White as just a mere "cartoon", shows how shallow and narrow minded she is.
True. The first few films to premiere on large screens, according to my grandma and my uncles, it was like magic had taken over logic and reasoning. And they loved it! Years later we got to see the early 1990s and early 2000s Disney-related movies. They still had complex characters, fun adventures, and yet a dosage of innocence/reality added as a bonus by the artists. I will never forget the intro to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, and later the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Atlantis The Lost Empire.
Disney 2023 is not running on magic, it's running on greed, ego and corruption. Walt, the many countless creators who have lived for many years, their legacy deserves better.
Am i the only one that is sick of the "not like other girls" trope? Girls dream of true love at least a couple times in their lives, it annoys me that so many pretend that its shallow or unrealistic for young adults to have at least a part of themselves that is preoccupied with love. Its part of life for most people and not shameful or silly to want to have romantic love. Stop demonizing love
Not only that, GUYS dream of love (even at 1st sight) too, not just battling demons or Grand Theft Auto-ing. Cinderella & Prince have equal right to feel star.struck love.
Exactly. All I've ever truly wanted was to be loved and to be a mother and wife. And for a while I wasn't on that path bc I was expected to have a career. Well I don't want one, I want to stay home and clean and cook and take care of children. And now I'm finally on that path. No kids yet bc we want to have a house and be financially stable first but I'm a housewife, I do all the cooking and cleaning and I take care of my fiance, and I absolutely love it!!
People are basically bored and disinterested in the live remakes. They know they are getting bad stories, that they are getting these new nihilistic ("reimagined") tales, and not the original stories. People have lost interest in anything with an old, classic Disney title, as it's basically a bait and switch, and they know that now.
Yes, that is a great description of how so many of us are feeling! I lost trust in these being good or accurate remakes a long time ago, and have no interest in seeing any of the new ones with the better originals right there.
@@yourlittlesistersproductionstht is so not true, live action is the reason why fairy tales come to life in a realistic format. It still a story telling, imagine if your character you drown came to life. Wouldn't be cool? Also, I don't think people would prefer to chose new once when the reality should never be compared too. People love to compare even in live action or a cartoon. The only thing you should compare is when the plot is really worst and should never been shown. But, when both plots are the same. Why compare when they are the same. Also, it is very disrespectful to those who direct it and create it.
I recently rented the animated movie on TH-cam. It was nice, Snow White was adorable and the Dwarves were equally delightful. I also liked how throughout the movie Grumpy was the last one to warm up to Snow but was the one leading the charge to chase the Queen after the animals tried to warn them Snow was in danger. I have no need to watch this remake.
You know what’s funny, I’ve never loved Snow White because I did feel like she was a weaker character, but I’ve LOVED your defense of her! You brought up points I’ve never thought of, and now I just feel sad that Zegler has missed out on the character growth she might have experienced had she tried to portray the original character’s humility and goodness.
She wore a dress for 18 hours? What horror! Soldiers wearing full chemical gear with masks for weeks in desert environments are in awe of her sacrifice…
Remember that Snow White movie from 2012 "Mirror Mirror"? It had actual little people playing the dwarves, and yet Peter Dinklage didn't say anything then. Or there was "Snow White and the Huntsman", where they had full-sized actors' faces CGI'ed onto dwarf actors' bodies but, again, nothing from the Dink-meister. Weird, weird!
Exactly! I was thinking "How about you just redo "Mirror Mirror", but Disney it if that's the attitude we're going with?"
Let us skip this Snow White remake starring Rachel Zegler and watch Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie instead. At least with Maleficent it is a different take from the villain’s perspective while also not changing too much of the characters in Sleeping Beauty.
I remember going to the theaters to watch Maleficent! I don't know if I want to go see this one in theaters after all of this. It's sad how Disney has lost the magic of movie making and people's faith in them to make a good movie they want to see.
I feel especially angry at Disney because I started falling for grifters like MauLer and The Critical Drinker. They may have been right about The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but then they attacked Barbie and I decided to watch it for myself... and I effing loved it.
I definitely won't watch this Snow White film, but some movies can inject their politics and still have a smart and witty story to tell -- I just don't trust Disney to be the ones to do so anymore. :(
@marmalar I have seen the Barbie movie (the other person who runs this channel with me has not, so I can't speak for her), but I really enjoyed it, too! Disney, for some reason, has lost their magic touch when it comes to consistently making films that the majority of the public enjoy.
No, it is not. The filmmakers lied to the audience about Maleficent (2014) being faithful to the events of the 1959 movie from the villain's perspective. It's just "Wicked, but with the characters of Sleeping Beauty" and they turned King Stefan into some generic asshole mean king and the three good fairies from the original movie are now the Three Stooges, but with boobs and vaginas and Maleficent is Princess Aurora's fairy Godmother?! What the fuck?!
At least the sequel, "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" has an original story and they actually handled the Male characters quite well than in the first film. Plus, Michelle Pfeiffer was the main villain in the sequel. So, there you have it. I would say watch Maleficent 2 instead.
@@yourlittlesistersproductionsDon't watch this remake of Snow White. Just watch "Mirror, Mirror" with Lily Collins and Julia Roberts as the evil queen or Snow White and the Huntsman, instead.
I rewatched the og Snow White like 2 days ago! Its still so beautiful, and the story is great, and its just overall such a joy to watch!! It pains me that theyre doing the remake so differently, you can still be strong and dream of love!
10:52 I find that there are at least 2 reasons why villains don’t find true love in fairy tales.
1. They have excessive pride and vanity. They love themselves too much, so there is no room for anyone else in their lives.
2. They love power too much. They would rather be able to control everyone and everything around them with absolute authority.
Here's the problem: More than 15 years ago Disney made the decision to go live action on its animations. Cinderella was the first and probably the most successful. But they set themselves up with an ambitious schedule that was totally unrealistic. They left most of the decision making in the hands of the directors and really did not provide a lot of the oversight they should have for such expensive projects. At the end of a project, if Disney didn't think it would be successful at the box office, they sent it straight to video and to Disney Plus. If you throw money at any project and do not provide enough oversight, the result will be uneven. And you will waste a lot of money because no one is saying "Let's take a hard look at this." And so the director of Snow White began spending. Most scenes where shot with multiple variations so that he could make his mind up as he edited as to which version he was going to use. Instead of sticking to a plot, this was the equivalent of shooting that movie five times! You wonder where the money went? And every single time a sticky point came up, he caved. He caved when Rachel Zegler refused to take direction in her scenes, particularly those with Andrew Burnap. He caved when the lead dwarf criticized the employment of dwarves in the movie. Instead they became magical woodland creatures. He caved when Gal Gadot presented performances that were subpar. It was not only the wrong two actresses that were poorly cast, but the wrong director. And so three years and $200 million dollars later, Disney has a completely unsatisfactory project and has cancelled planned "universe" films that would have been sequels to this one. If Disney had been watching the farm, the director would have received guidance as soon as the nonsense started. Now the dwarves will still be dwarves, but they will be CGIs instead of real people, adding to the expense of the film. It's a whole lot harder to get the product you want in editing than in shooting it the way you want it in the first place. If Rachel had been fired when she balked at taking direction, Gal Gadot would have gotten in line quickly. However, the two actresses have become very used to doing exactly what they want to do because Disney has deep pockets. Rachel has complained that it is her film and therefore having a prince takes the focus from her. And they didn't even put her dancing and singing in the trailers. And she had to wear a dress for 12-18 hours at a time!! What a travesty! She thinks she should be paid extra for that! Gal Gadot complained that they put clips in of her acting in the trailer that reflected poor acting. Did she think they were going to spend millions of dollars on re-recording those clips? After what Disney paid her, why wasn't the acting superb all the time? So Disney needs policy that requires the directors to regularly justify their expenditures to Disney execs rather than letting the shenanigans go on for three years and $200 million. This project was supposed to be out in March. Recent rumors indicate that there is so much to fix, it won't be March. And now we are ready for the next part of the saga.
(6 hours later) you're definitely not wrong, but damn, if you're gonna write a book, write a book!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You would think that Disney would give more oversight to their legacy projects, more so than other projects, since these are the movies that made their studio. Hopefully this project has taught them that for their future remakes. Although I can't say I'm excited for the upcoming remakes :/
Snow White needs to make Big bank at the theaters for them to make any money off this film, that's for sure. And all these controversies are not helping that goal.
I was a writer by trade. And I have written books. LOL.@@megatronjenkins2473
What you say is true, but Iger has led a regime that has only hired woke people and driven the non-woke from the company, including the creative staff. Thus their product is trash because woke films are not only fake but do not appeal to a mass audience.
@@megatronjenkins2473 I doubt you’ve ever read a book if that was too much for you to easily take in. 😁
Zegler has the life experience of a donut, but she's parroting Disney talking points anyway, which is the real shame
She is very young and only been in a few movies so far. I hope she gains more PR acumen with more experience, although the bad PR from this film might not help her with getting future roles. It's not enough to be good at acting or singing, you also have to be able to promote the film in a positive way.
She's educating us all. Who knew that beauty kindness and true love were evil
Don't insult donuts like that. 🍩
The movie " Willow" was a big hit and put a lot of dwarves to work the original "Willy Wonka " put a lot of dwarves to work also watts wrong with putting people to work
Big original "Snow White" fan. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was the first full-color feature-length film ever to hit the theaters. So many madly busy mega talented animators and artists invested moons and moons painstakingly putting together each frame of animation together to make that happen. How could this remake possibly outdo it, bad publicity or no?
I agree, the hard work of so many pioneers in animation is being overlooked because some people don't understand the meaning of the original.
And the 1937 version still holds up pretty well today! I watched it just a week or two ago, and it's beautiful and fun. I hope this remake news causes more people to go re-visit the original and remember how amazing it is, as well as remember its place in history.
Maturing is realizing that Snow White was actually a great Disney Princess in the first place, and here's why.
Yes, Sometimes I do think that Snow White really shouldn't have fallen for that magic apple trick, but I do understand why. She's grown up in the castle for most of her life, and the Evil Queen abused her in every way she could.
But the thing I love most about Snow White is her kindness. She was kind to everyone she met, like the animals in the forest, because after she had her hallucinations while running through the forest, she apologized to them for being afraid, which was something she didn't even have to do. And that whole "With a Smile and a Song" sequence was so wholesome to watch because I love Snow White's presence and comforting nature towards the animals. It just brings a huge smile on my face.
And when she sees the dwarfs' cottage dirty, she decides to clean it so they can live in a nice environment, and that maybe they'll let her stay in the cottage, because things don't come for free. And when she does meet the Dwarfs, she acts like a motherly figure towards them so they can be healthier and better people, and I love that. Snow White is even like the type of person who would comfort me every time I'm in a stressful situation.
Heck, I even loved the way Snow White helped the disguised old lady into her house and gave her water because she has such a good heart.
As someone who wants to be kind myself, I absolutely despise the fact that kindness, optimism, and nurturing is considered as weakness. Because people assume that only arrogance, anger, and physical strength is considered true strength.
Yes, Snow White is not exactly my favorite Disney Princess, but what I really love about her is her true strength, and her true strength is her kindness and optimism, because if it weren't for her kindness and comforting nature towards the prince, the animals, and the dwarfs, she would have never found a place to stay, Grumpy would have never had a change of heart, she would have been buried alive, and that would have ended her chances of waking up from her sleeping death slumber. She was strong mentally and emotionally, and that's amazing.
Yes, the movie is not my favorite animated movie, but I do have a lot of respect for it because without it, animated movies wouldn't be what they are today, and another reason why I have a lot of respect for the film is because of Snow White herself. So I'm really glad I grew up with the film as a little girl *(even though I did think it was a bit scary at some points)*
I wish I played Snow White because I try to stay kind to everyone I meet, I'm optimistic, I'm sensitive, I have a soprano voice when it comes to singing, and I do love apples very much.
@deenadallas2802 Kindness, optimism, and nurturing are amazing strengths that have become overlooked in a lot of our recent media, unfortunately :(
@@yourlittlesistersproductionsIt's such a sad thing
Rachel can keep her mess and I’ll enjoying Cinderella 2015, which stays true to the story and characters while also going further into the motivations of the characters.
That was the remake that started it all, for better or for worse.
Wait a minute. Maleficent came out in 2014 a year before the Cinderella remake and if you want to get really technical, it actually goes all the way back to 1996 with the live action remake of 101 Dalmatians with Glenn close as Cruella DeVil
@@yourlittlesistersproductionsit was actually Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland
"We wrote a Snow White" - she talks as she almost wrote it on her own...
I did find it very odd that she said that. There are some actors who also write, direct, or produce their movies, but she is not one of them, at least not yet. I wonder what her intent was with saying "we".
Being honest here I was scared of Snow White's scary adventures when I was a kid.
My mother will confirm to you when she rode the Disneyland attraction with me, I literally hid under the safety bar when we passed by the mirror trick showing the queen then its the crone when she spins around ala jump scare.
I can understand Rachel's statements being scared by the original film and ride.
But like you mentioned, its her opinion and she shouldn't turn all kids or families away because the movie or original ride Frightened her.
The original movie has scary moments for sure, but its a beautiful piece of animation that absolutely holds up. As for her comments on making Snow white more 'updated' and a leader. There have been several Snow white adaptations showcasing her as a leader while also being compassionate.
The most notable coming from Disney was the Snow white in Once upon a time. She fell in love with a prince, but she wasn't a so called 'Damsel' she was a survivor and a warrior.
I remember watching Once Upon a Time when it came out and really liking what they did with Snow White and the Prince. So many people loved that show and that interpretation of the characters, it makes me wonder why they didn't go more in that direction with the remake. You can be in love and still maintain your autonomy as a person.
I've watched Once Upon a Time every Sunday with my folks since the start of season 3 all the way to the very end with the soft reboot of season 7.
Even the parts of the show that were weak like one of the characters constantly going back to being a villain all the time screwing over the people he loves is still entertaining to watch.
I consider that show to be a live action adaptation of many fairy tales for a modern audience
I think Rachel is mixing up Disney's snow white to Rammsteins snow white because in Rammsteins version snow white has enslaved the dwarves and is essentially become the evil character in the story which sounds like the new remake Disney is crapping out, the Rammstein song is called sonne btw if you want to compare version's and see for yourself
This Rachel character seems absolutely awful
Great analysis and presentation, thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I hope that Rachel's comments are coming from a place of being young and inexperienced, and that she learns better PR skills in the future.
@yourlittlesistersproductions I would hope so too, she's only got two other films that have been released
@adamheywood113 She's only been in two movies with mixed reviews, and this is definitely gonna be number three if she keeps acting like this. She's in her only 20s, she'll grow up, I hope.
Maybe Zegler was genuinely scared of Snow White. But if she was scared of a film (that wasn't a horror), then she is the wrong person to star in and promote it.
Igor could recover all the lost revenue by re-releasing all the wonderful animated movies that _Walt_ Disney's studios produced in the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
💥Wow! Your earth-rocking (so to speak) point was raised by no others yet!! ... that Snow White's love & care for the dwarfs makes them NOT bury her but preserve her in the glass bier. Bravissima
Thank you so much!!
In the original animated film, Snow White demonstrated her quality as a future Queen by being brave in her own way, as well as being kind, firm, selfless, steadfast, responsible, gracious, and optimistic given her harsh upbringing. If she lacked those qualities, what would make us root for her to survive and achieve her happily ever after?
I find it hard to imagine Mz Zegler being able to nail just one of those aspects, nevermind all of them. The way it comes across in interviews (and likely in the movie itself) is that Zegler is playing a power fantasy self-insert version of herself. Her character "dreams" about coming into a position of leadership and is singly motivated by that. I'm reminded of what author Douglas Adams said about those who crave power:
"Those people who seek to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."
Dear Peter Dinklage-just so you know the dwarfs are the real heroes in this film-they charged after the queen and drove her to her death. The Prince may have wakened Snow White with a kiss, but it’s thanks to the dwarfs that she would never have to deal with the queen again!
The Peter Pan ride scared the crap out of me as a kid. I feared falling out of the ship as it flew over a miniature version of London, and that because it's Disneyland and Disney has magic I would become small and have to live in a fake miniature city with no food but fake food and I'd have to sleep on a plastic bed. It took a long time to get over that fear, but it never made me hate the Peter Pan animated movie. In fact, I bought the sequel and even watched the non-Disney series on TV. Eventually I became a big fan of the Tinker Bell/Disney's Fairies franchise.
Snow White is one of my favorite princesses because she is so pure, sweet, kind, and a hard worker. She loves animals and likes to bake. Something I can not only admire, but relate to. Despite all the scary stuff that she went through, she still kept going and rose above her circumstances with a happy heart. Again, something to admire.
Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, but I never liked how Snow White was portrayed in Once Upon a Time because they changed her sweet, innocent personality and made her into a 'killer' at one point. This took away from what she originally represented. There are other princesses that can represent a strong woman. Merida for the best example. Jasmine as well, she inspired me to think for myself and not let others tell me how to live my life. Snow White is meant to represent the pure and innocent, why is that a bad thing?
I used to be a kind of Feminist until I started to see that such women scoffed the 'weaker' girls, turning them into 'damsels in distress'. The whole: "A woman doesn't need a man" kind of thing. There are all kinds of women out there, not all of us are physically strong or want to be leaders. That doesn't make us 'damsels in distress' or 'weak'. I don't want to be a b*ch, I don't care to be a girl boss. I just want to live the best that I can with kindness and understanding.
All this kerfuffle from Disney and Zegler about defying old cliches and remaking fairy tales has reminded me of the multiple versions of Snow White that try to tackle progressive themes, as you mentioned. In particular, the animated Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs is pretty good. Additionally, Neil Gaiman also wrote a graphic novel from the queen's perspective that addresses sexism AND ageism.
I haven’t heard of either of these versions! We will have to check them out,. We love twists on fairytales, we just don’t like what Disney has been doing to their works as of late.
@@yourlittlesistersproductions agreed!
"Progressive themes" means stories based on ephemeral current fads, destined to rapidly become "old clichés". The themes of traditional fairy tales are immortal.
@@rclrd1 good point
So honestly, Snow White scared the sh*t out of me when I first saw it. I was 6 or 7 at the time though. Also, that kind of made me love it . Even back then. The whole part where the evil queen turned into the old lady was FANTASTIC!... Even it it scared the sh*t out of me.
“Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.” Walt Disney
Basically his philosophy was: it’s ok to be scared sometimes, even as a kid, if the ending is a happy one.
@@yourlittlesistersproductionsAww man. Disney should Take notes from Disney himself. Other studios take notes from Disney. The studio Disney though doesn't.
that smug way of her saying "evidently so" always gets on my nerves
Weird weird.
Okay, I am of two minds regarding the MC actresses' story, honestly. It is kinda refreshing to hear an actor mention how they don't have any affinity for the story they are taking on.
I am reminded of Jay from Red Letter Media talk about his encounter on the set of the decade-past Nightmare on Elm Street remake that had video interviews and promotional material about how the new Freddy actor loved Freddy Kruger films growing up. Then when on-set, he passively told Jay how he saw Nightmare on Elm Srreet the night before, and thought it was so stupid. That's Hollywood faĉade at work, baby.
To hear Zegler to her truth is fine, but yikes at her take on what the story was about. It stinks of modern kids not trusting an "old" movie to have drama that people of the current age can appreciate. That dismissive crap is what a first-year College student would espose, given her youth there does seem to be some arrested development snobery going on. Hopefully, she can grow past it... but Hollywood
I agree that I hope she grows in her PR skills and awareness of how better to promote a movie. This is her third movie I believe, and she has had PR problems throughout all of her films so far. I think she is trying to be relatable and not doing it in a way that is actually reaching people, and I hope she learns how to market her films because she is not the only one who works on these projects, but her words can impact people's desire to see the movies she's in.
Also, yes. Her takes on the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs were wayyy off. Hence my frustration 😂
@marmalar
Buddy I've seen this song and dance my whole life. Zegler will grow past her narriccissism on a cold day in Hell.
That's why I can't admire her honesty as dealing with such behavior and exhibiting such arrogance myself hypocritically has become so tiresome for me at this point. Hell in turning 35 at the end of this month I have to fight that urge of becoming one of those old fogies who looks down on "young people" like her as being entitled brats. Because such behavior is generational as it is thrown as Zoomer now. Then Millennials like me, Gen-Xers before us, and Boomers before them.
Yeah, I guess that's the thing, you can have someone who isn't big on the work but doesn't vigorously undermine the legacy it has with many other people. It's fine she doesn't have fond memories of Snow White, they kinda mirror mine with Pinocchio really, but she brings it up almost like it's a universal fact every chance she gets, even when others are trying to show their respect, she kinda breaks topic to take a pot shot.
Ok i found this by a tumblr person called artist issues but it fits so well here.
first off it's obvious that she basically hates snow white and basically said as much. acting like it's bad and not worth anything because it's an 85 year old cartoon. so lets put some things to think about this cartoon.
It was the first cell animated feature length full color film EVER. it invented the modern animated film. Everything that is out now and animated can be tied to this movie in some way shape or form because it was the first.
It was praised, not just for the technical marvels that it produced, not just for the synchronized craft of sound and action, but mostly and enduringly because people felt like the characters were real. they felt more like they were watching something true to life vs the silent live action movies with real people. kids were scared as she fled from the witch, adults grieved with the dwarfs. this was pretty consistent.
also disney was built on this movie. if it failed disney wouldn't be a thing. the studio in burbank was built on the amazing odds defying and record breaking profits of just this one movie.
adjusted for inflation it is the highest grossing animated movie at the box office ever. That is including the modern/current movies not just the old ones.
in fact at the time it came out it made four times as much money as ANY other film that was released and was the highest grossing film of all time in any genre until gone with the wind came out to take the throne.
it was the first animated movie to be selected for the national film registry, heck one of the first movies ever to go into it at all. it is there alongside movies like west side story. you know the movie that was remade that made her famous.
this is less about the movie itself but still worth noting. Disney sacrificed so much for this movie because he believed in it, something these professional creatives seem to have forgotten about doing for stuff they believe in. He morgaged his home and screened the movies to banks for loans to finish paying for it. everyone including his wife and brother told him he was crazy to make the movie, but it has lasted so long and well in 85 years vs her what 8 years in the industry? yeah im sure she knows better. /s
This movie emoplyed over 750 people working so much over time and inventing, literally, so many new techniques that are still used in film making today. This was a large part of why walt, in a move that no other studio was doing at the time, put in the opening credits "my sincere appreciation to the members of my staff whose loyalty and creative endeavor made possible this production. Not the ending credits like so many like to do today as some sort of "see we care" but the opening credits.
this little "85 year old cartoon" sold over a million dvd copies upon re rlease on its first day. the beatles quoted snow white in one of their songs. legacy directors call it the greatest film ever made. everything from the rolling stones to the american film institute call this movie one of the most influential masterpieces of our culture.
The movie doesn't need anything from anyone, It is a cultural gain for america. A staple in film making, and art in general. it was the foundation that disney was built on.
When you think only in the base, low, mean terms of "race" and "progressivism" you start taking things that are actually worlds-away from being in your league to judge, and you relegate them to silly ignorant phrases like "85-year-old cartoon" to explain why what you're doing is somehow better.
She needs to sit down about this because who the heck is she to talk about this movie like that?
And as anamericangirl on tumblr said in a response.
zegler basically says the whole movie is "young woman who doesn't have a function beyond someday my prince will come" shows she never saw the movie or didn't comprehend it.
she was 14, escapes a dangerous and abusive situation and was able to pull herself up by her bootstraps and take care of herself and as a form of rent the seven dwarfs. i mean she actually basically said if i clean up this place maybe they will let me stay here. Sure she dreamed of romance, but that's not a bad thing. young women tend to do that.
Gal gadot saying "oh she's not going to be saved by the prince in this one." are we supposed to be happy about that? I mean thank god we can't have a mand help her out in any way. She was laying there dead and he kissed her and that created the idea of true loves kiss so thank you for getting rid of that.
they can't seem to promote this movie without insulting and belittling the previous one and if they hate it so much why remake it instead of making something new. leave the original alone.
now for me again without other peoples words.
I wasn't planning to see this movie unless people wanted to as a group and even then only if i had nothing better to do. now I won't see it not matter what. Honestly there gets to be a point where these faces of the movie end up damaging the product more than help it. I hope this is another nail in the coffin that disney is finding itself in with all these financial failures this year. And i hope that it pushes Zeglers fame stock so low that she has no more work to do after this is this is how she tries to make people want to see her movie i can't imagine anyone thinking she'd be a good hire.
and as for her rant about "Well if i have to wear this outfit for so long i need money forever from it" type thing she said. that's not a reason. a lot of jobs have uniforms, and they just get the agreed on money. heck disney the theme parks have so many people wearing that same outfit. if that's the only standard for getting the money you better make sure they get theirs. after all they wore it a lot more than you and unlike you they had to always be in character while on the job. you only had to be between action and cut.
Thanks for those quotes! I'm glad that others know the history of this film and still appreciate it for everything it accomplished. I think Rachel Zegler thinks that what she is saying is what people want to hear and see from the remake. idk if it's all her or the marketing team for Disney, but they are obviously wrong that these types of comments are what are going to drive people to the theaters to see this. Especially with them excluding so many actors with dwarfism from what could have been their big break into the industry. Decisions were made, and now they are discovering that they were not the best decisions to make if they want to make their money back.
The Original has more Heart and Soul than this Mess of a Remake, I would just let it Root.
There's no need to defend the 1937 animated version when Zegler's attack has already failed to gain support.
But it doesn't hurt to explore what makes the 1937 version so iconic and enjoyable (two things the 2024 version will never be).
Thank you for commenting on Andrew Burnap. I also found it very disrespectful to the man, like what did he ever do for him to get disrespected like that, I found it very maddening. That particular interview frustrated me so much. Andrew Burnap looks to be a great guy, he deserves better.
If I did have one criticism from the original movie, it’s that Prince Florian really wasn’t in it and at several points in the movie, it felt like he really needed it. And it’s clear that the original team knew that given their original plans for him if it were not for the fact that they had trouble animating him and didn’t have the money for more than they already had.
If the live action could have improved on anything, it would have been the character of the Prince and deepening the bond he has with Snow.
But clearly that’s not going to happen.
I wish your video would go viral. It's such a great explanation of the many ways people can be leaders and change the World. You defend the 1937 movie, so well. As you said (basically), when she was with the dwarfs she had no "power". But she had the power to change their lives and environment, which she did in an extremely positive way. Because of her actions, the dwarfs made a glass coffin. She was released from the spell by love's first kiss. The prince fell in love with her beauty, singing, and her kindness in the beginning of the movie. At the end, he wants to show his reverence for her. Yes, it could be a bit weird but only if it was in real life. This is a fairy tale.
Yes, it would be fun to go viral 😂 I'm so glad you liked it! Snow White is a great character, I wish more people would see the strength in her.
Exactly her own argument is dumb if she didn’t watch the film how does she knows that she isn’t brave, or can she explain how evidently so is from 1930s
It’s funny she hates love so much… and thinks women shouldn’t care about it yet posts about her boyfriend and how much she loves him all over her twitter
By the way I only think their are a few Disney princess films that should have a live action for example like Pocahontas she should have a live action and I think Pocahontas definitely this time become a princess who actually saves Disney if they make it more historically accurate and make the writing more stronger
And to top it off, Ziegler is not a pretty girl. She also makes me feel repulsion, not kindness and perseverance like the original Snow White
Zegler has every right to share her personal opinion and experiences. If people have a problem hearing it, and only want to hear opinions that affirm THEIR personal feelings, then I would suggest they lack emotional maturity. You can enjoy a story while acknowledging its faults. That's mature. A lot of people need to grow up
Lmao she'd be the kind of Snow White that would've been buried alive by the Dwarfs
Before she would be cursed
I'm sorry but the actress just comes off as just not very kind, which of course shouldnt affect the character but its a sharp contrast with snow white
Snow White is a far better role model for kids than Rachel is.
how can a young girl be so hatefilled and mean
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lead actor ruin a Film before it’s released.
So many things I didn't even really think about before, like how, cruel though she was, the Queen was indeed the highest power in the land. And how the dwarves saved her just as much as the Prince, all over which did indeed happen because of her.
The first thing we see Snow White doing is scrubbing the courtyard, and the first thing she does upon arriving at the cottage is to clean the place up, and there's no trace of 'I can't stay in a place so filthy'; she does it as a kind gesture to the dwarves. Which she continues to do; Snow White has agency in her day to day life, and not once do we see her sit back and expect to be waited on hand and foot. Something which I'm sure WILL happen in the remake. She can't possibly help the dwarves (or whatever creatures there are) clean up around the house; she'll be too busy planning the details of her plan to take back her crown. She's not going to care about them at all.
It makes me sad they don't think about this stuff when doing remakes. We will have to wait and see what they keep versus what changes they make, but I wouldn't be surprised if they change how she meets them and gets their help.
Remember when Disney once believed that true love conquers all. Now they think love is wrong, weak, and demeaning for women. Well, as long as it's love between a man and a woman.
It's not like they care about same sex love either, they just claim gay representation for bait and then show basically nothing in the movie.
The sound could use some balancing ^^
Anyway, what we see here is that Hollywood directors, writers and actors are apparently largely evil, which is why they cannot understand how being a compassionate person will find love and happiness, and how those are timeless values. Maybe these movies are their poison apples
I will fix the sound for the next video, this one was definitely a learning curve for me 😂
I do think that people who work in Hollywood can become removed from the every day type of person and style of living to the point where they forget what audiences really want to see. It takes effort, once you reach that level of fame and money, to stay connected to the world outside of that sphere. I really thought that Disney, and the rest of Hollywood, would get the message that audiences want good, well told stories by now, but maybe this will be the project to finally do it for them. Thanks for your comment!
yeah...what was Peter's role in that one Narnia movie? what, what was the creature he was? yeah. good. good, job, asshat. live in a cave. tell me he didnt see the movie without telling me. literally their first scene is a song singing how they go home after work ffs
we didnt have enough with that girl. we have to have people who arent even part of the movie ruining it
this freaking people make me appreciate even more Ginnifer Goodwin and how much she loved Snow and being able to play her in Ouat
Once Upon a Time had such an interesting take on Snow White, I wish Disney had gone more that direction if they wanted to make some changes rather than what Rachel Zegler is telling us they did.
If I wanted to watch a character inspired by Snow White go on a journey of self-reflection and growth while taking her fate in her own hands, I'd watch RWBY
Gonna yo-ho-ho yet another new Disney release I guess
I can't believe Disney let a newbie shit on one of their most influential and beloved movies !! . What it sooo wrong with wanting love ?? , WTAF ??!! .
I watched Snow White as a very small child and loved it its a cartoon how can you be scared. Have you watch Julia Robert's Mirror Mirror Snow White save the kingdom all the prince does is wake her up and they didn't throw out the dwarves
I need your honest opinion I am fine with race swapping fiction characters however I am not fine with ideas making Disney princesses all strong and don’t need no man when I mean I love Snow White for who she is and if she is not a hero like Mulan or Moana so what not all princess have to be strong some princess can still be in love and still be more girly then strong independent princesses like Merida don’t get me wrong I love strong princesses like Mulan etc but why mess with Snow White character now I need your opinion do you think Race swapping is fine me personally I am fine with that as long as if the writing for the film is good
The 1937 original doesn't need to be defended. Especially not against a snarky 20-year-old gen Zer.
"All of Andrew's scenes can get cut"
Little did she know she would get COMPLETELY cut. LOL.
3:20 then your definitely not the person who’s fit for the role, not because your scared but because you have not seen th film or seem to understand it.
Anyone knows that to be a fair and loved leader, you must first learn to serve others and that’s the story of Snow White. I’m sure that Rachel’s version won’t stoop to serve the dwarves, or magical friends or whatever? She misses the entire point of what makes her a good leader, not anything her father told her.
Snow White is not a love story about just her love for the Prince. The Prince is such a small role, that we can’t see the love develop. The real love story is how Snow White learns to love the dwarves and vice versa. She is first frightened by them and being a princess who has been waited on hand and foot would humble herself to clean and cook for these dwarves taught her a lot.
She is a squatter to the dwarves at first. Once they realize she found them escaping the Huntsman and Queen, they welcome her and become protective of her by the end when they chase the witch to the top of the mountain. In the original version the Hintsman has pity on Snow White, unable to destroy something so beautiful, in the new version, Snow White kicks his ass and takes his weapon, turning it on him to force information about the queen’s plans. Yes, this new Mary Sue has a Rocky style training montage and everything. The new Captain Rey Snow Marvel White Skywalker will be her name.
Peter Dinklage doesn’t speak for the entire dwarf community. The only things he proved is that he doesn’t know anything about the story he insulted. None of the dwarves live in a cave. There are no stereotypes in the movie. The dwarves range from the highly intelligent Doc, to the mentally challenged Dopey and all levels in between. One is so cheerful he is named Happy. Even a grumpy one, like Dinklage. Dinklage is not willing to send the elevator back down. A good way to keep your completion down Peter.
It’s an evil way to do it and hopefully many other fans of your’s will be as disenfranchised with you as I have since you opened your big mouth. You’re a great actor and you were brilliant as Tyrion Lannister, a dwarf role. What glass ceiling have you shattered?
It’s not like you were cast for the part of The Mountain or Obyrn Martell? You still played a dwarf and will always be a dwarf, the same way African actors will always get African American parts and Asians will always play Asian parts. We are what we are, so give other dwarves a chance. It’s not Ike the movie had dwarves playing leprechauns or fairies or other fantasy characters. We all know what you were doing. Disney didn’t even check with other dwarves to see if they were offended by the roles. Nope, just Peter.
This reminds me of the huge stink that Fed Ex and other sponsors muscled Washington to change the name of their NFL team Redskins (a name they’ve used for nearly 100 years) because it was offensive to Native Americans without actually talking to the aboriginal people themselves.
It turns out that polls show that 90% of Native Americans do not find the name offensive. In fact, most of them found it lionizing and a tribute to their warrior spirit. That is why a Native American League is now boycotting the team to make them change the name back.
I doubt that will happen because only purple haired white gender-fluid Karens know when a culture is offended, whether it be Blacks, Asians, Jewish, Arabian or Native American. These gender-fluid white women think those races are too stupid to know when they’re being insulted, so they get insulted for them. The problem is, those Karen’s are offended by everything.
"damage control" to try to save a pile of rubbish is doomed to failure.
We can’t call it a disney Snow White live action if it’s not the same story as the original one was.
Envy is a terrible trait of humans and particularly women of more appealing women; Snow White is a morality tale as were most classic fairytales
I wonder if the evil queen will no longer be a narcissist stepmother who is obsessed with comparing her beauty to that of her stepdaughter and then tries to kill her when she discovers it exceeds her own because it seems like instead of beauty she will be jealous of the fact that snow white will become a better leader than her. They really miss a good opportunity to touch on the topic of a mother like that, but I guess it's wrong to do that too...
@PlayersPurity I have been wondering if they would try to make her into a sympathetic villain, like they did with Maleficent or Cruella.
@@yourlittlesistersproductions Yeah I wonder that too as she seems to have a musical and Disney seems to do that with all their live action villains these days. I personally think some villains should stay pure evil while for some it actually makes sense to have been turned into one.
Congratulations on the success of your video..little sister
She's so disrespectful to a Disney legendary movie my mom went to see as a young girl, got scared of the stepmother and fell in love with the movie. It's a classic, so why would anyone want to make a woke Snow White? And then kind of "joking" to remove the male lead? That sounded... awful. He looks like a very nice young man with good looks. And then not even have 7 dwarfs? Helloooo! Wtf!!! If they do this movie in "that" way, I'm not gonna watch it and I actually once loved Disney until they got woke. What's wrong with falling in love, feeling safe with a strong man and I guess I'm just old-fashioned. I don't mean to offend, but I just don't like this new version of Snow White. Great video and commentary in this video! Greetings from Sweden 🌹🇸🇪
Glad you liked our video :) I agree that her comments about her costar were really unnecessary, I would be so sad to hear that if I were him.
I think that Gal Gadot could have been a much better snow white.
I'd rather rewatch the Last Airbender then this travesty.
I haven’t seen Snow White since I was a child but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten how amazing this film truly is.
It’s a shame it’s being remade without a second thought because some people think it’s outdated but the truth is that it is still a timeless classic it was Walt’s first movie the first step to Disney’s reputation and brand. It’s what founded Disney as a company.
Snow White and the seven Dwarves is still being passed on through generations it will continue to do so, I know if I were to do any babysitting for family members I would allow the kids to watch the original cartoons instead of the remakes. Teach them about the originals first before having them decide later on if they’d want to watch the remakes.
A good movie is a good movie, regardless of the time it was made. And I think Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is one that the whole family can enjoy!
As a huge fan of the original, I hope this gets canceled.
This is the greatest example of Zegler 😂 Will said
Thank you! :)
I am sticking with the original and the other versions of Snow White movies out there. I am not going to the theater to watch 2024 Snow White. I have other movies I am looking forward to see.
Honestly, at this point, there are so many people feeling the same way. It's a shame, I love Disney and it's so sad to see what they have come to 😢
Her ladyship certainly has her own assumptions.
The original 1937 movie of Snow White And The Seven Dwarves (Dwarfs?) was emblematic of an America that was an increasingly gratifying presence in a very uncertain world. The movies said something about America back then. And where else in the world were they, these glamorous, exciting, wonderful, moving movies, being made? Some of them were even now turning up in colour. These classics, if not popular currently, will always be referred to in some shape or form into the future. There will always be a fondness for them.
America is no longer the magical place it had once been. In other words, there is no longer a sense of wonder when it comes to America. It’s lost its mojo, as they would say in the U.K. The movies today say as much. They are all desperately grim. Earlier this year I noticed a row of posters at a railway station in Europe advertising the utterly grim, tight-lipped countenances of the leading Disney acting troupe, for the streaming service I think it was, and I was instantly puzzled by this weird, WEIRD advertising approach. Whatever happened to the beaming optimism of Mary Poppins? Aka Julie Andrews? The desperate newcomers to western shores would think the Americans are fed up with their lot in life and that the movies and shows are all about that. The children waiting on the platform would begin to associate Disney with misery. Commuters would have daily, DAILY, averted their gaze in order to better cheer themselves up ahead of another busy day at work. I concluded that the grim countenances perfectly reflect the new progressive cause in America to do down their own great achievements of the past: our pained expressions, the grim faces seem to say, are to tell you to be guilty too about your country’s past. In Germany, where the vitality of an active old age is much promoted, such that posters showing beaming pensioners showing off their rows of perfectly white teeth are commonplace, these painful Disney ones in my mind would have given a dim view of young Americans abroad.
It’s as if the great labouring effort of Disney in 1937 and of everything else that America had achieved up until the recent past should never have been attempted at all! America should never have bothered. Really?
And what, then, would the world look like today? Disney itself would never have existed.
In 1937, when Stalin’s purges were all the rage in the SU, the animators and producers must have felt as if they were embarking on a moonshot to make Snow White. It was a great achievement. Today’s shenanigans are the equivalent of the “Houston, we have a problem” Apollo 13 disaster. And, VERY EVIDENTLY SO! Still, a good enough movie came out of that Apollo 13 event.
Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs; Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid; It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World; The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance; The Way We Were:
even the movie titles themselves had real character back in the day. They are a very bland one word or two now because I think they can be googled more easily and as if the one word or two tells the young cinema-going crowd that their busy, busy social lives are respected and the impression given is that the movie is snappy, and does not linger too long on scenes.
Never has in this our digital age entertainment been so exhausting. Hooray for the olden days! They were not always not great. They had their good points. And I wish the culture executives in America today would be glad for their lot in life. Were their own grandparents more so? Back in the day? Looking at our sniffy rebuke of our own past, it’s very possible.
I’ll finish now by remarking how quickly the fondness for household names has disappeared. Today’s artists and what not, stars, entertainers, they just don’t get talked about the way they used to be talked about. The old stars of yesteryear were very much their own person. As a genuine practitioner of their respective crafts ought to be.
I also miss the excitement and brightness of American media! Bring back happy stories that give people hope 🎉

I think you've made the best video by far on this topic. Great work!
Thank you so much!
I have come to realize that you have to look at fairy tales as fairy tales. Things like true love and love at first sight exist in the fairy tale "realm".
Yes, exactly! Fairy tales are full of magic and symbolism and life lessons! If you take them too literally, you miss the good in them.
Disney is making their own Velma, it seems.
these young actors grew up watching frozen and that has become their disney experience I'm not saying that's a bad or good thing but what I am saying is, just because the story worked really well in frozen doesn't mean the same style would work well with snow white.
Just watch twenty years from now when disney remakes frozen but this time anna and elsa will need a prince to rescue the day, all hell will break loose again in disney land.
This live-action remake of "Snow White" is definitely a HARD PASS for me 👎👎👎👎👎👎 I'll just stick to the 1937 original instead 😤😤😤😤😤😤
In fact, as of 2020 after having such terrible experiences watching the Disney live-action remakes, I've permanently gave up on watching the Disney live-action remakes after watching the 2019 live-action remake of "The Lion King", knowing that they all suck and will get worse as time went on 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I'm pretty sure from hearing her talk that the actor is mentally unstable
She is so young, I'm hoping she will learn good PR in time, before directors decide to stop casting her because of her current PR skills. Maybe this will all help her realize that.
I honestly hope she loses the role
This was brilliantly put
*Rachel Zegler loves to appropriate other cultures.. She did it with Maria {A Puerto Rican character} in 🎥Steven Spielberg's 🎬Westside Story Remake and now She's doing it with Snow White {A European; German🇩🇪&Polish character} which is very hypocritical since She constantly talks about Representation and that it matters.. well according to Her own actions/The things She has said/been saying it doesn't.. like the only representation She cares about is Her own.. Little Miss Narcissistic!*
This is a wonderful classic that should never need a defense. + it's good enough for the Gremlins. LOL If you don't get the reference, you must watch the Gremlins!
Lovely video. Disney is going daft, right along with many other Muggle corps. Kinda disconcerting, is it not?

be nice if could go back to 1937 but without 1913 happening and the peaople being sheep and getting pot made illegal. i wonder were peaople sheep in the 1820s-30s? peaople are being sheep today (tho some are waking up) peaople were also known to be sheepish in the 1930s. in the 1720s there was a dissase the 1820s, the 1920s and 2020 so theres a clear cycle of some sort. back to 1930 with all the good things of modern and none of the bad things.
I'm just glad that they crashed & burned before they could ruin 'The Sleeping Beauty' (which was Walt Disney's personal fave).
Gal wants her to shut up so bad!
I dont want to watch the live action. I honestly wish disney would stop trying to replace classic and beautifully made art in their originals with these cheap copies. Tell new stories instead. There are myths in many cultures that havent been explored yet. Stop telling the same european ones over and over. Why was Encanto so refreshing? Because it was a new story from a place they havent explored yet. Excellent!
Great take, thank you. Now onto the comment section. Do you really think people want to read an entire essay? I know I’m scrolling right by a 5,000 word comment!
