Son of original ‘Snow White’ director bashes Disney’s ‘woke, pathetic’ remake
Telegraph that Walt Disney Studios’ upcoming adaptation — which has already been blasted for being “politically correct” after leaked images showed the seven dwarfs reimagined as “magical creatures” of all sizes and genders — is “insulting” and “woke.”“I mean, it’s a whole different concept, and I just totally disagree with it, and I know my dad and Walt would also very much disagree with it,” he told the Telegraph.Studio bosses have “destroyed” his father’s creation,” said 91-year-old Hand of the adapted edition to his dad’s famed work, according to the outlet.The Mouse House’s modern take on the animated original, which was based on the 1812 Brothers Grimm fairytale, will see a character named “Jonathan” in place of Prince Charming, 22-year-old Hispanic actress Rachel Zegler as Snow White and dwarfs that Disney has said “avoid reinforcing stereotypes.”There have also been rumors that Disney has ditched the film’s classic song, “Someday My Prince Will Come.”“I think it’s pathetic that people feel that way… these are art forms in the world of film today,” Hand said of the updates, which he predicts will make young viewers — especially those who “have never seen the original” — “misunderstand” the film.Meanwhile, her successor as the titular character, Zegler, has blasted the original storyline as being “extremely outdated” with a prince whose behavior is similar to that of a “stalker.”“The original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with the guy who literally stalks her.

‘No longer 1937’: Resurfaced video of ‘Snow White’ actress Rachel Zegler continues controversy
A recently surfaced video of Rachel Zegler, who plays the titular character in the upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White,” has sparked controversy after the actress revealed how the new Disney film would differ from the 1937 animated classic.In the 2022 D23 Expo Variety interview clip, Zegler and “Wonder Woman” actress Gal Gadot discussed how the reimagining of Snow White would shift the Disney princess’s values, dreams and agency in the story.When asked how the new Snow White would bring a “modern edge” to the famous fable, Zegler laughed and said, “I just mean that it’s no longer 1937.”Gadot, who will play the Evil Queen in the movie, interjected and divulged that Prince Ferdinand would not save Snow White.“She’s not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love,” Zegler noted. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”“It’s just a really incredible story for young people everywhere to see themselves in,” she added.The resurfaced video spread across social media early in the week, making many Twitter users skeptical of the new adaptation’s thematic direction.“It’s no longer 1937, guys,” State Freedom Caucus Network Comms Director Greg Price said.

Dee Snider urges people to stop ‘caving’ to cancel culture after backlash for supporting Paul Stanley’s gender transition stance
told Fox News Digital Saturday. “If you did something wrong, you know? If you did something wrong, you raped a woman, yeah, you gotta do more than apologize, but at the same time, that’s not something you stand strong about.“But if you have a position and a belief and people come at you for it, everybody is folding!” Last month, Snider agreed with Kiss’ Paul Stanley’s stance on youths undergoing sex reassignment surgery.“There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it,” Stanley tweeted.“There ARE individuals who as adults may decide reassignment is their needed choice but turning this into a game or parents normalizing it as some sort of natural alternative or believing that because a little boy likes to play dress up in his sister’s clothes or a girl in her brother’s, we should lead them steps further down a path that’s far from the innocence of what they are doing,” Stanley added.Snider, ordinarily a staunch supporter of left-wing politics, commented, “well said.” Like Stanley and Kiss, he and Twisted Sister were almost as well-known for their makeup, hair and outlandish costumes as for their music back in their prime. “You know what? There was a time where I ‘felt pretty’ too.
