Ok, Disney is trying to make a movie that's not offensive to anybody with midgets. Good luck...haha.
You know what's coming right? Some really bad midget material from Norm McDonald. I'm sorry, I tried to stop...but I'm weak. Don't watch this! Yes, you'll laugh (hard) but you'll regret it later. Please stop while you still can.
I know what you're thinking. Snitz, I'm in too deep at this point. Do you have any more midget material, perhaps from Bill Burr. Fine, if that's what you insist on, don't blame me when you feel like a dirtbag tomorrow.
Disney’s live-action ‘Snow White’ under fire for replacing seven dwarfs with ‘magical creatures’ of all sizes, genders

Disney backtracks after ‘Snow White’ anti-woke backlash, says pics were real
Disney’s live-action Snow White takes wokeness to absurd new low
Disney’s forthcoming live-action “Snow White” is under fire for being so “politically correct” that it’s reimagining the seven dwarfs as “magical creatures” of all sizes and genders.
The film, which is slated for release next year with Hispanic actress Rachel Zegler as the fairy tale heroine, made waves this week after a Snow White stand-in was seen wandering around Bedfordshire, England, followed by a gaggle of brightly colored friends of various genders, races and sizes, modernizing the 1937 film.
Not everyone is bewitched by the Mouse House’s modern take on the fairy tale, as critics began attacking the set photos, with some calling them “unbelievable.”
“#GoWokeGoBroke,” one Twitter user wrote.
Another said: “Looks like the Woke don’t care much for dwarves. And…they have a girl swarf now.”
One user teasingly changed the name of the film to: “Snow white and the seven diversity hires.”
Another asked: “Where’s the dwarf equity?”

The seven dwarfs have been modernized, according to Disney, and are now billed as “magical creatures” of all different shapes, sizes and genders.

It’s not the only modernization that the film has made, as it was announced earlier that there will be no Prince Charming coming to save a lost Snow White, but instead focus more on the main character following her leadership dreams.
The live-action version of the 1937 animated classic has received immense backlash since it was announced.
“Game of Thrones” actor Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism, criticized the film early on for its portrayal of the disability.
Critics were quick to make their distaste known, saying the new “woke” version was “unbelievable.”
“Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback [when] they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,'” he said in January 2022.
“You’re progressive in one way but then you’re still making that f–king backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f–k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”
In response, Disney said it was taking a “different approach” to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes” from the original film.
The original animated film was released in 1937. The live-action remake is set to be released 87 years later, on March 22, 2024.
The seven dwarfs in the original 1937 animated film were all men and had dwarfism.

Rachel Zegler.
“Snow White” actress Rachel Zegler, who was not pictured on set, has defended Disney’s changes.
“We are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” it said in a statement to Deadline.
Zelger, who made her film debut as Maria in Steven Spielberg’s 2021 remake of “West Side Story,” defended the “Snow White” changes.
“It’s an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond ‘Someday My Prince Will Come.’”
The upcoming remake was written by “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig and directed by Marc Webb.
