Is This Something?

Naaaaaah.

If you don't remember the controversy: The Disney remake of Snow White was already in bad odor because the annoying AF actress Rachel Ziegler couldn't stop talking about how awful the original was, being about a girl who loved a boy and everything, and how all modern women only care about "coming into their own power."

Weird, weird!

Then that idiot dwarf actor Peter Dinklage attacked any studio still employing dwarfs to play fairy-tale/Tolkeinesque dwarves. For some reason he is determined to be the only working dwarf actor in Hollywood. Or he wants dwarfs cast to play full-sized people. It's unclear. He's offended, whatever you're doing with dwarfs.

So obviously Woke Disney could not hire dwarfs to play, um, dwarves. (Note the -ves plural ending is one Tolkein popularized. Standard English is just "dwarfs.")

Disney hired a bunch of gangly, tall Diverse SJW actors to play the dwarves "Woodland Spirits." A picture from the shoot leaked:

When that leaked -- and everyone ridiculed Woke Disney -- Disney claimed, cagily, that some of the people in the photo were stand-ins, not the actual actors.

Some? Not all? They might just mean the person wearing the red hood, who is not, I believe, the actress playing Snow White.

Why so cagey?

Now it's not impossible that they sent out stand-ins and photographed them with the intention of replacing them with CGI later. Sometimes people will take maquettes, or puppets/sculptures, of CGI characters out into the physical environment to get a good "map" of how the sunlight should look on the CGI character they'll be adding in later.

But... eh, I dunno. Seems if they wanted to do that kind of test they'd have sculptures of the short dwarves, not tall human actors. They'd want to see, for example, how the tall grass looks in relation to a dwarf.

Anyway, some months later, Disney released a very bad looking CGI photo showing the "woodland spirits of short stature" and implied that this had been the plan all along.

If everything's going to be this obviously fake-looking, why would they even bother doing photography in a real physical environment? Everything on this picture is obviously CGI cartoon bullshit.

Disney's stock price has now fallen into the $85 range. It had been over $90 a few weeks ago.

In 2022, it was at $192+.

A little scuttlebutt from Disney's annual "D23" convention, where they show off their upcoming duds to idiot adultchildren who pay $1000 to attend. While all other Disney executives came out to plug their offerings in each division, Kathleen Kennedy did not take the stage to announce LucasFilm's upcoming box office bombs. She was entire absent from the production, except to join other LucasFilm people on the stage when John Williams was given some kind of lifetime Disney award.

Why was she absent? Why was she hidin' ?

WDW_Pro and his panelists were speculating about the possibilities. Maybe she knows that the upcoming movies and shows will be, as usual, hot August garbage baking in the smelly sun, and wants to keep herself away from the sink.

Or maybe she feared that, even among a friendly crowd, she might be booed for destroying two major multibillion dollar IPs (plus, Willow).
