Disney has delayed the release of its live-action Snow White movie by a year for a major overhaul, following controversy over the film’s woke agenda and star Rachel Zegler’s disparaging comments about the original film.
The film had been criticized for its decision to replace the Seven Dwarfs with seven “magical (non-dwarf) creatures” in an effort to be more politically correct. Zegler had also come under fire for her comments about the original film, which she called “creepy” and said she “hated.”
Disney has now said that the film’s release will be delayed by a year while it undergoes a major overhaul. It is unclear what changes the studio will make to the film, but it is possible that the Seven Dwarfs will be restored to their original dwarf forms.
