Disney has always sucked. I’ve never understood the appeal of their product. When I compare Disney to Looney Tunes it’s not close. As you age Looney Tunes gets funnier while Disney fades. I’ve recently started working with a guy that has the same speech impediment as Elmer Fudd so I’ve watched some Looney Tunes lately. Great stuff.

”Kill the Wabbit??”
Again, Disney markets to little 6 year old girls.

Looney Tunes markets to children with a mental age of 9 or 10 years. That's why you prefer Looney Tunes.

The movie flopped as it was a bad movie.
MAGA wanted to attribute that to what Zegler said which no one even knew about.
So yes MAGA are obsessed with race, gender and sexual orientation.
it was a bad movie...it wasn't snow white...it was some woke chick who wants to be a boss lady....wearing snow white costume the entire movie...

Even trying to blame the failure on Zegler is still blaming it on Israel, the right wing were first triggered because she's latino and then triggered when she said 'free Palestine'.
Deal with it.
Probably why it flopped too...she made it all about her and her ideology...nothing to do with the movie...people like to "free palestine" from Hamas...had she said...Hamas should be eliminated...I bet you that movie would be a box office hit...

If I were going to remake Snow White, I’d have Megan Fox play Snow White and Demi Moore play the evil Queen.

Even though Megan Fox can’t sing, no one would care because the could lip sync the a recording from Reachel Zegler.

That movie would be a hit.

Just my humble opinion.
Megan Fox is a bit long in the tooth. She's only one year younger than Gail Gadot.

I think a young woman is best to play Snow White.

I think we're losing track of why the Snow White movie exists.

It exists so parents can buy it and put it on to entertain the kids when they can't be bothered interacting with the little fuckers. Little girls mainline Disney princess movies the way 70's rock stars mainlined smack. The parents won't gaf that the self-important starlet lead went all "River to the Sea" on a late night talk show. The little girls won't even know.
I don't think Disney is selling many physical video units of movies anymore. They have licensed Sony to handle the marketing and distribution of physical video formats.

The action is in the Disney Plus streaming service. Then there's also merchandise. I don't think Snow White has parents rushing to sign up for the streaming service and ordering merch.

It's just a mediocre movie. Professional critics were like "ehhh". Box office does matter. Disney stock is down in March much more than the Dow Jones.

Because only rightie dickheads do that sort of shit. You know, assholes with "Fuck Woke!" on their pickup trucks who play Morgan Wallen asshole music and get into fights in bars. Right?
Whew, I think we lost you there for a moment. You went on quite an invention of a Disney Dad.

I will ask some due diligence question of some of the younger female members of the mandrill clan of whether they are ordering the merch.

I don't think the guy I described actually is Disney Dad. I would call him Asshole Dad and he was provided as a contrast to normal behaviour.

Do you remember Pinocchio? Whenever that little bastard told a lie, his nose would grow.

The reason why Snow White bombed is because it was like Pinocchio without a nose!
Well, that certainly answered all my questions - not so much about the movie, as about you.

Gal Gadot and Megan Fox are equal in terms of acting talent. Gal has the advantage, she projects warmth.

Btw I'm finally watching Yellowstone without commercials and enjoying it. Being a communist prevert I replayed Kelly Reilly's butt cheeks several times...Mongo like!

See, now you're admitting that the Israel issue killed it.

I just look at Snow White as a tired Disney franchise. The story is from 1812. When someone says a movie is a "reimagining", there's generally a lack of creative energy.
I disagree.
The Grimms themselves "reimagined" the story. (And hell, they themselves published three different versions, if I remember.)

All the Grimm fairy tales are "reimagined" - they were writing down oral tales and making edits when changing mediums. (As you always do.)
The Snow White tale is far older than the Grimm version and part of a larger collection of related tales that have stolen and re-imagined off of one another repeatedly.

That Disney makes pretty shitty films isn't really related to the concept of "reimagining".

It seems far more related to Disney being run by corporate types with focus-group minds looking for big money synergy or whatever bullshit nonsense the suits like to focus on that is not "making a good movie".

What a dishonest take...Zegler and her anti-promotion woke propaganda routine were all over Tik Tok for months before the bomb was dropped on audiences.

She said nothing that was controversial or political.
No one even knew what she said.
This is a controversy drummed up by MAGA due to their obsession with race, gender and sexual orientation.

The original Snow white movie is almost 90 years old. Unlike their previous live action slop like lion king and Aladdin, this one can't even milk nostalgia bucks from millennial Disney adults. It is mad that they greenlit 200 million+ budget for this movie.

yuuuup, that’s why I didn’t watch. I don’t care if Snow White was played by a Hispanic person. What difference does that make in my life. But I’ll be damned if I see gal galdhoe in any movie I pay for
You mean you didn't watch Wonder Woman? She was amazing and so hot...
And it was a major success....
The 2017 film "Wonder Woman" grossed a total of $822.96 million worldwide.

Nope, I don’t care how hot you are if your personality is disgusting, I won’t compromise my values. The biggest shame in our world is to forget to humanize and to focus solely on looks and physical attributes. It makes a person lack depth and I’ll be damned if I’m ever a shallow person.
