“Walt And [Dad] Would Be Turning In Their Graves”: Original ‘Snow White’ Director’s Son Slams Disney Remake

To move forward in life, we must change our perspectives and see the world from different angles. So sometimes it’s good to re-create the things in life. Sometimes, it is a shock to get a sudden U-turn in your life, but it’s terrific to accept the changes if it makes you feel better.

Are you eagerly waiting to see traditional snow white in another way? Rachel Zegler, who will play the titular damsel in distress, emphasizes her intense dislike for Disney’s original 1937 classic and its portrayal of the ‘stalker’ prince. She pointed out that the relationship between the princess and the prince was “weird.”

Recently, Rachel Zegler who’s going to play Snow White in the upcoming Disney remake slammed the original story

“She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be,” the West Side Story actress said in an interview

Moreover, she highlighted that instead of focusing on traditional love, these stories can empower women more than they seem to be.

In return, David Hand, the son of the original 1937 Snow White director, has come out criticizing Zegler and Disney’s “woke” remakes

According to interviews, it was a lifelong dream of Zegler’s to play Snow White on-screen

“She’s not going to be saved by the prince. And she’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She dreams about becoming the leader and leader that her late father told her she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true,” Zegler told Variety last September.

Snow White is set to hit the screens in March 2024. So what do you think? Comment below.
