How Rachel Zegler's actions hurt Disney more than any competition ever could

11) Cultural sensitivities and the Seven Dwarfs

Trending

One of the most controversial elements of the Snow White remake has been the portrayal of the Seven Dwarfs. Disney’s decision to replace the dwarfs with diverse magical creatures sparked backlash from multiple angles. Advocacy groups criticized the move as a dismissal of representation for people with dwarfism, while traditionalists saw it as a departure from the original story. Peter Dinklage’s earlier criticism of the 1937 depiction added to the debate. The changes, meant to modernize the plot, have instead alienated both inclusivity advocates and fans of the classic, creating yet another PR problem for Disney.
