Another Disney Woke Disaster Is Brewing as Bratty, Snotty Star of Snow White Can't Stop Ripping the Original Classic

The film was called "Walt's Folly" before its release because it was widely believed that the public would never pay to see a full-length animation. At most, they'd appreciate the cartoon shorts that ran before real movies.

But Walt Disney made Snow White anyway -- and Snow White made Walt Disney.

Given that it's the 100th anniversary of the founding of Walt Disney studios, you'd think they'd pay attention to their "talent" bad-mouthing Walt Disney's big first triumph.

But apparently Woke Disney World is all about tearing down the golden past to make way for a shit future, because they sent this perfect little idiot out into the world to talk about how much she hated Snow White and how Prince Charming was a "stalker."

And now branding experts are predicting it'll cost the ill-favored movie at the box office.

EXCLUSIVE: Branding experts warn Rachel Zegler backlash could RUIN Disney's big budget Snow White remake and predict executives will be having 'crisis talks' in order to win back fans ahead of 2024 release

Rachel Zegler's comments about the upcoming live action Snow White remake could have 'a huge impact on ticket sales,' branding experts have warned. The 22-year-old actress has received plenty of backlash after she admitted that she 'hated' the original 1937 movie and branded the storyline 'weird,' while referring to the Prince character as a 'stalker.' The big budget Disney movie is scheduled for release in March 2024 and now it has been predicted that executives will be 'having crisis talks' in order to do some serious damage limitation following the negative response to Rachel's stance.

...

Speaking to DailyMail.com, branding expert Carla Speight said: 'Whilst it's been clear that the original Disney Princess films hold old values, Disney have fallen for the trap of going to the opposite extreme to inflict strong and loaded messaging on the viewers - believing that's empowerment. '

She added: 'There was a time when Disney actors were media trained and were thoughtful about the impact of their words, whilst sticking to key messaging about the films, but it seems with this total rewrite of Snow White, picturing her as a "boss girl" has gone to the heads of their stars. Disney will need to be careful with how they have portrayed Snow White and what they do and don't allow their actors to say about it going forwards. They simply cannot repeat the same mistakes and allow their actors to be so vocal in their own personal opinions during promotions. It can have a huge impact on ticket sales, especially with the amount of negative backlash so early in the promo trail.'

Carla continued: 'They need to get the key messaging and strong selling point into a brief for the cast of the film and ensure they stick to it. If they don't, it's a disaster waiting to happen and the backlash will keep growing. It's possibly a good idea to get Rachel to clarify what she meant and highlight it was her own personal opinion, not a slight on women,' she advised. 'They should highlight the important message that it's okay to be who you want to be. After all, Disney has been famously telling us that they're the place where "dreams do come true" and have never actually defined what those dreams should be. Neither should their actors.'

PR expert Nick Ede agrees and told DailyMail.com that perhaps Rachel 'isn't the best person to promote the film' - despite playing the main character. 'Rachel is a big-named star playing one of the world's most famous fairytale characters immortalized by Disney, but instead of taking the lead of The Little Mermaid's Halle Bailey and embracing her role, Rachel has actively chosen to spoil the narrative and express the new direction she has taken Snow White in,' Nick claimed. 'This is by no means a wrong move and Snow White, and other stories, if they were written today would have very different nuances and narratives but the fact that she's actively being negative about the source material and laughing off the old Disney film and the fairytale makes her look too eager to show off the new version and shows little or no respect for the previous version and other iterations. 'I am sure Disney executives must be having crisis talks and thinking perhaps their new Snow White isn't the best person to promote the film and ensure it is a box office success,' Nick predicted.

...

The backlash occurred after several videos of Rachel speaking negatively about the original film in various interviews last year resurfaced online, where she said of her version of the character: 'She's not going to be saved by the prince and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.'

In a separate red carpet interview at the same event, she said: 'The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird! So we didn't do that this time. We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie,' Rachel continued, referring to Andrew Burnap. 'All of Andrew's scenes could get cut, who knows? It's Hollywood, baby!' she joked...

There's a phenomenon called "political lesbianism." That's a situation where a heterosexual woman becomes so filled with feminist zeal, and political hatred of men, that she actually becomes a lesbian despite not actually being attracted to women. Her lesbianism is a political act, not a sexual or romantic one.

I mention that because for the past ten or twelve years there has been a consistent stream of propaganda films in which "women don't need no men." Zegler thinks this film is edgy and daring to declare that a woman doesn't need nothin' from men except a sharp "Yes ma'am"? As Critical Drinker notes (video linked below), that might have been "edgy" in 2014. Now it's just rote. Literally every girl power movie tells girls to stop seeking romantic partnerships with men.

Combine this with Hollywood's noted anti-natalism -- the industry seems determined to stop the birth of its future potential customers.

The message that "women don't need no men" is especially present in revisionist fairy tale stories. There was a live action movie a couple of years ago about a Badass Girlboss Princess who don't need no knight to save her.

This trope is now so common it is mocked as a tired, stale cliche: "This princess (snaps fingers) saves herself!"

Yes, they all do now, don't they? What's different about this particular girlboss political lesbian character?

Disney story consultants: What would you say you do here?

[She further admitted] in a separate interview that she was 'terrified' when she went on a Snow White ride at Disney World. 'I was scared of the original version. I think I watched it once and never picked it up again. I'm being so serious,' she claimed. 'I watched it once, and then I went on the ride in Disney World, which was called Snow White's Scary Adventures. Doesn't sound like something a little kid would like. I was terrified of it, never revisited Snow White again.'

After that, she went on to the late night show of Disney-owned propaganda mouthpiece Jimmy Kimmel, and contradicted everything she had said previously, claiming she's a big fan of the original.

She's also playing the Victim Card.

After TikTok and Twitter blew up with a negative response, Rachel seemingly responded to the backlash and tweeted on Friday, August 11: 'I hope the world becomes kinder.' A few hours later, she added: 'I love you very much. Forever and ever. Remember to be kind. Treat each other with patience and empathy. Remember that you are loved unconditionally, no matter your mistakes, no matter your misunderstandings. You deserve it. You deserve love. You deserve to live without fear.' When one fan replied and asked: 'Are you also just like extremely exhausted all the time?' Rachel responded and said: 'I am so exhausted. I think it's over for me tbh.'

Despite crying about "hate" and "fear" now, Rachel Zegler has previously been a vigorous proponent of #cancelling JK Rowling and former Disney star Gina Carano:

Gina Carano isn't in a forgive-and-forget mood:

And, in case you've forgotten: Disney decided it was insensitive to cast dwarfs as dwarfs, and made all the "dwarfs" normal-height people, except for one.

So they denied a paycheck to actors who don't usually get a lot of work, in the name of wokeness.

And pictures of this gang of woke misfits circulated online. Disney lied and claimed these weren't pictures from the movie.

They were. In some cases, stand-ins were wearing the awful costumes, rather than the actors themselves, but these pictures were right from the set of the movie.
