Disney Flop Snow White Now Accused of Being Wicked to the Environment

After analysing more than 250 Disney film sets, researchers have revealed that Snow White was responsible for at least 4,258 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The Mail has more.

This was the second most polluting Disney film, after Theย Little Mermaidย live action remake which contributed to 5,983 tonnes, since 2019 when the environmental reporting requirement was introduced.

The combined emissions total more thanย Birminghamโ€™s and Lutonโ€™s annual CO2 contributions, according to the Observer.

Snow White also created more greenhouse gases than the latest Fast & Furious filmย Fast X, despite the blockbuster principally being set around cars. …

CO2 emissions are divided into different โ€˜scopesโ€™: the first covers direct fuel emissions like generators that would power cameras and heaters, the second is dedicated to creation of electricity during the movieโ€™s production and the third looks at emissions generated by goods and services suppliers.

Snow White generated 3,153 tonnes for scopes one and two, whilst scope three is often overlooked as this is largely out of the control of the companies being measured. …

This is only the latest setback that has turned this fairy tale into a nightmare. 

The film starringย Rachel Zeglerย as the title character reportedly had a whopping production budget between $240 million and $270 million, not counting the hundreds of millions poured into publicity and advertising.

Snow White opened with a disappointing $42.2 million at the domestic box office last weekend, and then it dropped a whopping 66% drop in its second weekend.ย 

This live-action rendition of the original 1937 animated classic hasnโ€™t been a hit with critics either, with just a 40% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

A new report from Deadline claimed that Disney will likely suffer a loss of $115 million from the film, when all is said and done.ย

”I bet it was mostly women who dreamed this garbage idea up. They should never be given any power because they think with their emotions.”
I do hope a certain somebody ( and pals ) is wearing a hard hat to protect his fragile ego. Reality check, incoming! ( Again ) ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Director – male

2/3 Writers – male

All 5 Producers – male

I could go on. Anyone would think men are capable of emotions and producing garbage too…Who knew? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Whoever said that is an idiot. I wonder what he thinks with, because itโ€™s obviously not his brain.

Men make things and women in charge make them do stupid things. A lot of men are led by their appendage, as they say. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Hmm, struggling a bit there, aren’t you? So, by that ‘logic’, a whopping 96% of prisoners that are male ended up in prison because of, erm…female judges? Their wives/mothers?๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I suspect most of these men involved were gay as the choice of RZ to play Snow White was absurd, given she is supposed to be the prettiest one of all.
Looks like the other turkey, Paddington in Peru is going to be released on Netflix soon to recoup the losses.

As a society we’re spending resources totting up the CO2 supposedly being emitted in the production of movies?

We’re so doomed.

Yup. My daughter mentioned to me yesterday that she met up with a friend she hadn’t seen in a while. Daughter: “She’s working on Avengers 5” (that’s a Marvel film, big bucks). Me “Ah so she works in the film industry?”. Daughter “She works on the sustainability side”.

So that’s an actual full time job apparently. Not just a policy or something that informs how they do their actual work, but a full time job, presumably either finding more “sustainable” ways of doing things and/or making sure they are followed or more likely just putting a “sustainable” spin on what they are doing anyway, or maybe just planting trees…
