One of the worst kept secrets is how they had to reshoot the film after a set photo leaked showing the seven dwarves had been replaced with diversity actors of normal heigh (save one) and multiple sexes. Disney hastily released new production art showing the dwarves looking like the ones from Walt Disney's movie (still in concept art stage, no 3d modeling).

This should go direct to streaming. It's a film nobody cares about or wanted to begin with. I would see the original 1937 film in a theater for the novelty of it, but certainly not whatever this is, or any of the awful live action remakes of the classic animated films Disney has shat out.

Agreed—straight to streaming. And then… no more live action remakes! With the possible exception of Pete’s Dragon, which I haven’t seen, I don’t think a single one has not only NOT bested the original but more so, even come up with a convincing reason why it should exist in the first place, except of course: $$$. Please get back to original ideas, Disney!

The Diversity Woodspeople.
It was suggested that Disney had originally planned on dwarves but then received criticism from Peter Dinklage, so they changed the film.

Zegler is so basic and uninteresting.

So, I'm confused. Will the film be the freakishly drawn little people or the outcasts from the Cathedral City Light Opera Company's version of "Godspell"?

The freakishly drawn little people.
The diversity woods people were safely returned and deposited exactly how Disney found them, on a street corner in Bushwick.

This is going to flop and Zegler will be over.

These were the original "dwarfs." The internet exploded when this pic was released and Disney scrapped all of them and decided to do CGI.

I don’t understand what was objectionable about those dwarfs, r9.
by Anonymous | reply 10 | June 27, 2024 11:02 PM |
Peter Dinklage found them objectionable because he does not like dwarfs being offered “mythical” dwarfs roles, so Disney changed the film.
That’s just how Disney is. You can complain about the exorbitant prices if their parks, their horrific blind eye to decades of Florida swamp politics, the creative bankruptcy of their movies and Imagineering, but they are absolutely TERRIFIED someone will say they are prejudiced.
Perfect case in point: the storyline from the movie The Princess and the Frog could not be incorporated into the Splash Mountain renovation because the villain was a voodoo witch doctor. They were allowed to keep the good voodoo priestess character, but they had to rechristen her a “bayou fairy godmother.”
The ride has been a colossal failure with even Bob Iger complaining it was boring after he finished riding it.

The other thing about that ride: the WoC imagineer in charge of it felt it was necessary to divert limited funds to retheme the entire queue. It was previously just rustic wood Frontierland shit.
Now, it has been rethemed to an ABANDONED SALT DOME MINE. The Avery Island salt mine. Site of horrific forced labor during the antebellum era. But no one at Disney could say no to the WoC they put in charge.

As Splash Mountain you lazily cruised along to Zip-A-De-Do-Dah while nothing much happened.

R13 except there were animatronics to watch. I think there were like 70 of them.
There are 17 now. Long stretches of the ride with “dead space” and nothing to see.

Zegler is so off-putting. She was the worst thing about that terrible Hunger Games prequel. I kept praying for her to die immediately after she unleashed whatever accent she was attempting

“Uncanny Valley” is another term that’s becoming overused. Stop being so easily creeped out, people.

Easily creeped out? If something is creepy to you, there’s not much you can do to stop it. Those CGI dwarves ARE creepy! Some things just look better as a 2D drawing than rendered in 3D

Those dwarves (or whatever the fuck we're supposed to call them now) really do look creepy. Like they're going to murder Snow White, chop her up and eat her.

The film should be cast with real “little people,” There can’t be that many roles for them and it’s a chance to bring visibility to that community.
