Do you think this is a good decision?


Disney has now said they are taking a different approach with Snow White and the 7 COMPANIONS after actor Peter Dinklage slammed the studio for remaking the "backward" film that reinforces stereotypes!!

The company said they consulted with the members of the dwarfism community throughout the early stages of production and is still years away from release that stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the evil queen.

Peter told Marc Maron on WTF podcast "Literally no offense to anyone, but iw as taken taken back when they were proud to cast a latina actress as snow white but they're still telling the story of snow white and the seven dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you're doing there. It makes no sense to me. You're progressive in one way and you're still making that f***ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together? what the f*** are you doing man? Hav i done nothing ot advance the cause from my soap box? I guess i'm not loud enough"

Disney will still continue to have cultural consultants to ensure that there is no offense to any groups of people

They look forward to sharing more information when it heads into production. It was expected to shoot in Vancouver before they decided to shoot in Germany and changed their minds again and will now shoot in the United Kingdom..

Do you think Disney is making the right decision by axing the dwarves?

Do dwarves need to be retired as a mythical race because of the negative associations with the word? Is Gimli OK? I don't really see any difference between him and the Snow White dwarves except that the SW dwarves are more comic.

Personally I would start the movie with a short disclaimer stating that the "dwarves" are a mythical race that appear regularly in classic fantasy and should not be associated with real-life little people the same way that giants in fantasy aren't associated with real-life people who have gigantism. Snow White without the dwarves wouldn't be Snow White.

I'm confused. First off, they're not humans, they're dwarves. An entire species. Secondly, maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but they're all portrayed relatively positively, and heroically right? Not disabled or anything of the sort.

Enough so that my immediate thought was "of course they cast Peter Dinklage as the dwarf," but the dwarf in question was actually giant, so... *shrug*

I can imagine Dinklage talking to the Russos like "fine, I'll be a dwarf... but only if I can be like three meters tall"

I though Dwarf was an ok word. As others say, they are mythical creatures, right? Whatever. Most people are probably still going to call it Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for a while, at the very least

I don't like the idea. The dwarfs are a big part of the story, so if they take them out, then it ruins the story. Besides, they are a different type of people, and I couldn't find anything offensive about them.

Fuck sake. People need thicker skins. I've come to the conclusion that some people just want to be outraged all the time no matter what. What's worse is when these companies bend over to please them. Casting Rachel Zegler as Snow White is also dumb but I mean Disney has cast a black Ariel for the live action little mermaid so that doesn't shock me.

Especially since removing the Dwarves will make it flop in China. Also, someone should remind Dinklage about that role of his, as he needs a reality check ASAP.

I guess he has more of a horse in this race than I do, but the writing on the wall is that Snow White is gonna be as unremarkable as every other Remake so far, and getting rid of one of the most iconic (and marketable) parts of the story will only exemplify that.

They're not humans with dwarfism; they're dwarves. I guess you could change it to "the seven gnomes/fae"? Might even make the story outright better, tbh. Making them more generalized by turning them into just "fae" would open up more options for character design and such, I suppose.

Yeah. There are all sorts of fae, so you wouldn't even have to take out their mining work. This would be an easy way to make the story more interesting AND remove potential offense, though I don't think it's necessary (and I'm a pretty hardcore SJW by most people's standards).

I think he's been generally critical of little people in fantasy media though. He doesn't like things like elfs or dwarfs or little people being cast as non human creatures.

He's aware of it, he just doesn't like it. I don't really agree with him, but whatever. I find it surprising he has so much influence regarding this though. I heard this yesterday and dismissed it as kind of a nothing story.

So are they planning to whitewash the actress? Because the character is supposed to have skin as white as snow, hence the name. This isn't the same as casting a black actress to portray Ariel, since the character doesn't have to be of a particular ethnic background. Having snow white skin is part of Snow White's character. It's the same reason why they couldn't possibly cast a non Chinese actress to play Mulan.
