Bob,

Disney stock is in the gutter. The reason why is because of a poisonous woke ideology. Your successor Bob Chapek was super woke, endorsing putting woke elements in classic films that destroyed what made these films magical in the first place. He was obviously fired in disgrace.

I have no problem with remaking classic films with a twist but distorting these films with woke themes and hyper-feminist elements is what's destroying Disney right now.

Bob, please call a meeting with the Disney board to scrap The Snow White remake. It's going to be a complete flop.

This movie was doomed before it started. A white girl should have been cast to play Snow White because the story says Snow White's skin is as white as snow. It isn't racist to cast a white girl to play Snow White; that's just the story. Just like it wouldn't make any sense to cast Bradley Cooper or Matthew McConaughey to play Nelson Mandela or Malcolm X., You would obviously cast a black actor.

Also, the seven dwarfs are not even dwarfs. I think one of them is over six feet tall, and one is a black woman.

And the actress playing the Evil Queen is another left-wing nutjob whose career is nosediving after being involved in flops like Red Notice and Heart of Stone.

The lead actress Rachel Zegler is super woke and entitled. Her comments are laced with narcissism, ungratefulness, and hate. She went on a crazy feminist rant about how she hated the original Snow White.

“The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so,” Zegler said, interviewed by Extra TV. “There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird! So we didn’t do that this time.”

Snow White is a classic film, but people like Rachel Zegler are destroying it.

You can tell that a radical progressive ideology has poisoned Ziegler's mind. She is obviously a beautiful/talented young actress, but she trashed the original movie and doesn't even understand the central theme of the movie. This is what happens when your mind is warped by social left-wing ideology.

Young girls don't care about True love? What???

My advice, scrap it. Rachel Zegler should go on a 1-year sabbatical if she wants to save her career and dissociate herself from this abomination. After a year, make a public apology after going through therapy, or something like that.

Bob, the movie will be a complete flop. Get out of it now before Disney's reputation is further sullied.

Rachel Zeglar is not white enough for you?

Polish and Spanish ethnically? Or is it because her last name could be seen as Jewish
 
I am not sure if I understand the OP complaint. Rachel Ziegler won two major film awards for her performance in West Side Story. She is a quality young actress. It would be impossible to find an actress with skin pigment as white as snow. I think she looks a lot like the original cartoon character. Also, Ziegler isn’t black. She is half Colombian and half Polish. Her skin tone is very light.

Lol Disney is a "theme park" company.

Considering they had nearly $29B in revenue from their theme parks in 2022, it is a big part of their business model.

Eh, the Disney live action remakes have all been pretty...whelming. Their most financially successful one...The Lion King...just barely doubled its budget at the box office. I think the problem with them isn't that they're woke, but that they're just not really very good and come during at time when people are generally pretty sick of unoriginal remakes/reimaginings. The right-wing crowed on about how Sound of Freedom topped Indiana Jones (a week after IJ released), but after the stinker that was Crystal Skull, and Covid, it shouldn't be a surprise that a lot of people just weren't going to the theater to see another lemon Indy Jones movie.

Barbie was kind of a flash in the pan, it seems. It's been particularly well-received. The Barbieheimer phenomenon showed that people will fill the seats to see something new and fresh.

Also, Sound of Freedom was immensely astroturfed. Entire theaters bought out with nobody actually showing up to watch it. Somebody out there was spending millions on tickets to make the film look more popular than it was.

I don't think the target audience is grumpy, old, right wing men.
 
Wow. You're complaining about Disney's choice of actresses in a remake of a fictional iconic classic???? REALLY?

There have been ten Magical Snow White Adaptations In Film And Television​

From the 1937 animated classic to live-action remakes, the Snow White fairytale has numerous adaptations to enjoy.

Here's a novel thought, if you don't approve of this actress and her mouth, GET YOUR SNOW WHITE ON with one of the other 9 versions.

Rachel thinks it's creepy that a prince saves a poor girl from death with a kiss.

What a stalker!

She must also think of a male EMT performing CPR on a girl not breathing as "creepy" and "weird."

Sexual assault you mean
 
They need to scrap all of their live action remakes. Start making new stories.

Disney Annual revenue:
2014: 42 billion
2022: 82 billion

One of the world's top 10 most admired companies.

They don't need your advice @Bucky
 
Just print out DIS one year or five year chart and reach your own conclusion. Without a dividend and P/E of 38 I don't see how this can be a compelling buy unless you see some major restructuring. Truth is they bought up too much stuff (like star-wars) and they're having trouble squeezing any value out of it.

My biggest issue with this brat is that she was spewing wok feminism.

She devalued the role of a woman falling in love or accepting help. Instead promoted the idea that women need to "be a boss," and grab control and power.

Many problems here:

1. Define woke for me.

2. No, she did not. That's not what she said or meant. She's talking about the new Snow White not falling into the role of the "damsel in distress" and being about female empowerment.

3. I thought your biggest issue was about the skin pigment?
