Disney Delays Snow White Over Fears Woke Makeover Will Be a “Financial Disaster”
Disney is said to be delaying its upcoming Snow White remake in a bid to avert a “financial disaster”, with producers reportedly fearing its woke makeover will bomb at the box office and “cripple” any chance of future spin-offs. The Mail has the story.
Last week, the studio announced it had pushed back the film’s release until March 2025 – a whole year after the scheduled date – citing the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike as the driving force behind the decision.
But an insider has exclusively told DailyMail.com that Disney is said to be “figuring out what to do” after making a $330 million turkey – and is looking to Tom Hooper’s widely panned Cats as a guide on what to avoid.
The decision comes after Rachel Zegler, 22, who plays the titular princess, launched a woke tirade at the original “weird” plot with a “stalker” Prince – despite having only watched the 1937 animation once as a child.
“Disney had to delay Snow White because they have spent so much money on it, and if it is a financial disaster at the box office, it might single handedly cripple future remakes and potential Snow White sequels that they have planned,” the insider claimed.
“They also have to remove themselves from the bad taste in the mouths of online critics and want to instead deliver a great film and get to a point where they get it right.
“They realise that they were overthinking things and are now reining it all in a little bit more.”
The upcoming production – the latest in a long line of Disney remakes – has been mired in controversy.
Bosses first came under fire for casting Colombian-American Zegler as the lead, despite the story being about a traditionally “fair” German princess with “skin as white as snow”.
They then announced that “magical creatures” would replace the seven dwarves to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes” after Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage criticized the “f***ing backwards story”.
Earlier this year a mix of men and women of different ethnicities, with a real dwarf among their number, were pictured filming [above] – but they appear to have now been replaced by seven CGI dwarfs [below].
Once again: go woke, go broke…

When the best Hollywood can do is make poor rehashes of previous films, and yet more nonsense comic book stories, then it’s clearly got no originality, no talent at any level and is finished.
The anti White anti Western civ racism and bile is nauseating. Come forth with the endless useless vomit as mindless poli-tainment and go bankrupt. Unidirectional intolerance.
I’m not going to suggest how the gay wokesters could address their particular issues buy having Grumpy feel Happy all day. I’m just not gonna do it, OK?
Grumpy feels Happy.
Happy feels Grumpy.

7 Dwarves were in bed together, they were all feeling Happy. When Happy started feeling Sleepy the rest started feeling Grumpy.
7Up is not a drink. Just ask Snow White.
Go woke go broke. Our local National Trust historic house cannot find volunteers and the woke young have no interest in volunteering or the houses.
In contrast an independent historic house in the same location is busier than ever as they just present rooms and do not preach.
It is good news as finally the financial risks of the woke are hitting the balance sheets & the staff.
I hope the non-dwarf DEI actors who are being replaced by CGI sue the cr*p out of Disney – isn’t one of the issues of the current actor’s strike the ‘unregulated use of AI’?!
Because of Peter Dinklage they got rid of all but one of the Dwarves. Those overlooked actors weren’t amused at missing the payday.
This must be part of the reason why a recent survey revealed that 6 out of 7 Dwarves aren’t Happy.
Investors, aka “men in the grey suits”, have walked into the Disney boardroom, and we all know what happens to the board.
“Bosses first came under fire for casting Colombian-American Zegler as the lead, despite the story being about a traditionally “fair” German princess with “skin as white as snow”.”
Oh so that’s why the story’s called SNOW WHITE well I never, fancy that.
This type of thing has been going on for quite some time. I remember walking into a room 20 years ago and there was that dreadful soap opera “Eastenders” on a TV screen. In about 20 seconds I was able to see all of the “diversity” being imposed on the viewers. There was the wheelchair, the Sikh playing dominoes, the Muslim getting into trouble with his mum for being gay, etc etc . ——-If you look at TV ads now you will see that blacks and ethnic minorities are grossly over represented. There are way more of them appearing in the ads than is representative of the population. But not just that, there is this determination to show mixed race families where the husband is white and the wife black, or vice versa. Disabled and Downs syndrome people will be featured. —-People will say but what is wrong with that, why should they not be included? But they are not being included randomly, they are being included for virtue signalling and politically correct purposes and there is most certainly something wrong with that. So the Disney dilemma is this——–Do we make films or do we want to change society based… Read more »
Thank goodness we still have the choice to switch the box off – for now! Pity the poor beggars with their carefully manicured career structure s who have no choice but to swallow the lot and look happy about it too. One slip up and they may at best be sent for supplementary race/gender awareness refresher training, at worst, constructive dismissal.
I remember going for a job interview and after the training we were told—–“You all will have noticed that there are many Asian and Muslim people working here. Should any of you say anything to offend or upset these people you may face disciplinary action and possible dismissal.”———–We were asked if we had any questions. I put my hand up and asked “If an Asian or Muslim says anything to offend or upset me will they face disciplinary action and possible dismissal”?—–I have never seen a persons jaw drop so fast and ofcourse I never received an answer.
what a shame! it’s be great if they made it & shares nosedived 100%
