Snow Latina and the Seven Diverse Magical Beings
They say that you should never kick somebody when they’re down, but I’m prepared to make an exception when it comes to the Disney organisation and its cinematic output.
Having completely trashed ‘Star Wars’, ‘Willow’ and ‘Indiana Jones’, Disney now seems intent on destroying its own beloved legacy of animation with a series of woke live action remakes. So far this has yielded flop remakes of ‘Peter Pan’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’. Now Disney’s really going for it with a remake of one of its greatest classics, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’.
Trouble is, it seems to me that there are a few things wrong with this remake, or ‘problematic’, to use one of those terms loved by woke types everywhere. Now take Snow White herself. She’s called that of course because her skin is ‘as white as snow’. Well fuck that; remember that this is a ‘progressive re-imagining’ for a ‘modern day audience’, so they’ve cast the Hispanic actress Rachel Zegler in the role. Off to a flying start then. What’s a bit of race-swapping here and there?
Then you’ve got her seven vertically challenged companions. Or rather, you haven’t, because that might re-inforce ‘negative stereotyping’. So any dwarfish actors struggling for work can do one, as we’ve now got a gender and ethnically diverse bunch of ‘magical companions’. I reckon the audience will piss themselves when they see this bunch if leaked on set photos are anything to go by.
Oh, and forget Snow White moving into the dwarfs’ home in the woods and taking care of them. Apparently she’s now a feminist who wants to ‘find herself’ as a woman and a leader. That kiss from Prince Charming while she sleeps is out too; it’s non-consensual. It couldn’t happen now anyway because again, it seems Prince Charming’s out on his arse as well, as the story now can’t depend on something as utterly sexist as a woman finding fulfillment in the love of a man.
Hands up if like me, you can’t wait for the film’s release next year. No, me neither actually. I really can’t see where Disney thinks this so-called ‘modern audience’ for its woke nonsense actually is. Has it learned so little from its recent debacles? Can it really not see that the vast majority of its potential audience wants entertainment, not a finger-wagging lecture premised on a woke agenda?
Go on then Disney, break a fucking leg. Break both while you’re on it, and your neck as well. Go woke go broke indeed, and the faster the better.

Nominated by Ron Knee with a seconding by General Cunster below.
I would like to second this nomination.
As an American I grew up with Disney. Every Sunday night before Bonanza, Walt Disney’s The Wonderful Wold of Color was magical television. And like every other American family of the day, mine went on the typical Chevy Chase Family vacation of the day to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
And if Bambi traumatized my generation, Davy Crockett inspired us and Annette made us feel the first stirrings of manhood.
But today? What so many of us admired has become just the latest version of wokeist degeneracy. Like Transheuser Busch and Targay before them, Disney is plunging deep into the Bunghole of perversity.
The Little Schvarmaid…The Haunted Crackhouse and now…Blanca Nieves and the Seven Diversity Hires.
Walt was an American icon and a true patriot who embraced family values. It’s a shame to see what they have done to his vision of wholesome family entertainment.
