I Hate How She Talks About Snow White

"People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it's like, yeah, it is − because it needed that. 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. "

Let me tell you a little something's about that "85-year-old cartoon," miss Zegler.

It was the first-ever cel-animated feature-length full-color film. Ever. Ever. EVER. I'm worried that you're not hearing me. This movie was Disney inventing the modern animated film. Spirited Away, Into the Spider-Verse, Tangled, you don't get to have any of these without Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937.)

Speaking of what you wouldn't get without this movie, it includes anime as a genre. Not just in technique (because again, nobody animated more than shorts before this movie) but in style and story. Anime, as it is now, wouldn't exist without Osamu Tezuka, "The God of Manga," who wouldn't have pioneered anime storytelling in the 1940s without having watched and learned from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the 1930s. No "weeb" culture, no Princess Mononoke, no DragonBall Z, no My Hero Academia, no Demonslayer, and no Naruto without this "85-year-old cartoon."

It was praised, not just for its technical marvels, not just for its synchronized craft of sound and action, but primarily and enduringly because people felt like the characters were real. They felt more like they were watching something true to life than they did watching silent, live-action films with real actors and actresses. They couldn't believe that an animated character could make kids wet their pants as she flees, frightened, through the forest, or grown adults cry with grieving Dwarves. Consistently.

Walt Disney Studios was built on this movie. No no; you're not understanding me. Literally, the studio in Burbank, out of which has come legends of this craft of animated filmmaking, was literally built on the incredible, odds-defying, record-breaking profits of just Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, specifically.

Speaking of record-breaking profits, this movie is the highest-grossing animated film in history. Still. TO THIS DAY. And it was made during the Great Depression.

In fact, it made four times as much money than any other film, in any other genre, released during that time period. It was actually THE highest-grossing film of all time, in any genre, until nothing less than Gone With the Wind, herself, came along to take the throne.

It was the first-ever animated movie to be selected for the National Film Registry. Actually, it was one of the first movies, period, to ever go into the registry at all. You know what else is in the NFR? The original West Side Story, the remake of which is responsible for Rachel Ziegler's widespread fame.

Walt Disney sacrificed for this movie to be invented. Literally, he took out a mortgage on his house and screened the movie to banks for loans to finish paying for it, because everyone from the media to his own wife and brother told him he was crazy to make this movie. And you want to tell me it's just an 85-year-old cartoon that needs the most meaningless of updates, with your tender 8 years in the business?

Speaking of sacrifice, this movie employed over 750 people, and they worked immeasurable hours of overtime, and invented--literally invented--so many new techniques that are still used in filmmaking today, that Walt Disney, in a move that NO OTHER STUDIO IN HOLLYWOOD was doing in the 30's, put this in the opening credits: "My sincere appreciation to the members of my staff whose loyalty and creative endeavor made possible this production." Not the end credits, like movies love to do today as a virtue-signal. The opening credits.

It's legacy endures. Your little "85-year-old cartoon" sold more than 1 million DVD copies upon re-release. Just on its first day. The Beatles quoted Snow White in one of their songs. Legacy directors call it "the greatest film ever made." Everything from Rolling Stones to the American Film Institute call this move one of the most influential masterpieces of our culture. This movie doesn't need anything from anybody. This movie is a cultural juggernaut for America. It's a staple in the art of filmmaking--and art, in general. It is the foundation of the Walt Disney Company, of modern children's media in the West, and of modern adaptations of classical fairy tales in the West. When you think only in the base, low, mean terms of "race" and "progressivism" you start taking things that are actually worlds-away from being in your league to judge, and you relegate them to silly ignorant phrases like "85-year-old cartoon" to explain why what you're doing is somehow better.

Sit down and be humble. Who the heck are you?

Twitter and Tumblr about completely changing Ariel's ethnia and race in the live action adaptation : "die mad, fiction is fiction, and her origins don't matter in the storyline anyway, who cares where Ariel is from as long as she sings ? Anyone arguing is a racist because life is literally black and white and so are opinions on adaptations, color washing doesn't exist you're just a bigot"

Twitter and Tumblr now that Disney casted an actress who is more native Hawaiian than they ever will be but is not "dark enough" for playing Nani therefore "not a real Hawaiian and white washing" despite she is not white

#personally I won't even watch this movie because I boycott live action remakes but the double standard is pathetic #'i wished Nani looked like Nani' oh I thought they were just cartoons and those who wanted Ariel to look like Ariel were racist ?#because for what I know the Hawaiian aspect of the story (dealing with tourism racism) will be respected with a native in the role then #but omg she DARES being lighter ! look at this point they never cast an actress who looks like the source material (look at Belle...)#so let us just be glad they took someone of the fitting race without checking a quotat list. so what #so lighter skinned POC/mixed POC are not 'native enough' to you ? pretty racist #like i hate Pepa in Encanto but I remember being frustrated people were mad they DARED depicting ONE light skinned latina #lol #tumblr #twitter #Disney #fandom #hypocrisy #them bastards !#reaction image #race #the little mermaid #movie #lilo and stitch #ariel #nani #colors #black people #white people #racism #polynesian #it reminds me of people saying they were shocked a white guy was playing a pharaoh. it was Rami Malek who is Egyptian #or complaining they casted an Indian for Jasmine while Aladdin's place is ambiguous and it could be Indo-Persian for what we know

Rachel zegler has me wanting to bang my head repeatedly against a wall until I start bleeding to death

#look I don't like snow white never have and never will #but rationally speaking WHY WOULD DISNEY CAST AN ACTRESS WHO HATES SNOW WHITE TO *PLAY* SNOW WHITE #and most importantly why are they letting said actress flaunt her dislike for snow white and how she's only seen the movie once before #getting the role and how the life action is going to be so much better than the original by explaining everything they're doing to rip the #original to shreds #rachel zegler is in her right to dislike snow white and I'm not going to blame her for auditioning for the role BUT SHE'S AN ACTRESS CAN'T #SHE ACT LIKE SHE LIKES THE PRINCESS THAT SHE'S PROMOTING?#disney's also stupid because wtf did no one suggest that they should tell rachel not to act like she hates snow white?????#anyways praying that this will lead to disney live actions' downfall #anti rachel zegler #disney #snow white #snow white live action #also can we please talk about how the one movie that could give people with dwarfism depth has written out all but one of the original dwar #I understand that the original dwarves weren't Great but as a creator with dwarfism said this was disney's chance to redeem itself by addin #more depth to the characters

Just saw the latest Percy Jackson Episode 6. IMAGINE a live action Emily Windsnap looking like the very last scene of that episode (also the lotus casino reminds me of the M-drug)

#imagine Percy listening to EPIC: The Musical #if he read a graphic novel of The Odyssey then I think he’d listen to a musical retelling too #Annabeth would hate or nitpick EPIC to shreds #whomever did the underwater scenes for this show should def be considered for a live action Emily Windsnap #Emily windsnap #Percy Jackson #Percy Jackson and the Olympians #Disney+#Disney #rick riordan #Liz Kessler #the odyssey #Homer #Greek mythology #classical mythology #Percy Jackson episode 6

Disney announcing they're going to do a live action remake of Moana

---you can't even lie and say this is about nostalgia anymore-- the movie is SEVEN years old. Who is the nostalgia for? The movie's still fresh! this is just an obvious desperate cash grab after things like Lightyear, Strange World, and Pinocchio all fucking BOMBED.

Absolutely pathetic

#anti disney #moana #moana remake #ugh #hate this #live action remake #it's not even a decade old #come on now

I really shouldn't be so afraid to post this, but this one post has bothered me enough to the point where I just had to rant about it. I won't be surprised if this post results in a lot of followers dumping my ass. There's another controversial rant post I'm gonna make soon, so I guess this is a good enough warm-up.

It does take a lot of mental gymnastics to make "Rules for thee, not for me" sound justifiable.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Also, I don't think that equity is working out very well right now with the race-bent Snow White.

youtube

Side-note: Snow White's fucking name comes from the in-story explanation: "skin as white as snow". But that's not something we should respect right!

Just imagine the number of hopeful girls who would've been honored to have been chosen for the role of Disney's first-ever princess and would have shown so much more respect for the role and the story than this. I'd hope the social brownie points were worth it, but most people are actually seeing this lady for what she truly is.

Hell, the bigger problem nowadays is how most Disney Princesses are being given the same feminist story beats, being strong independent women who don't need no man and are also total girl bosses. Sure, just gut out the story in the name of "progression". And slowly make the Disney Princesses a "progressive" hive mind.

Also, there's the whole Nani controversy that really shows how skewed the priorities are of everyone who advocates for blackwashing established white characters.

Nani being dark-skinned isn't crucial to the story, though. Her actress is still a native Hawaiian, which is objectively the more important representative aspect of casting in a movie set in Hawaii with Hawaiian culture being heavily featured.

Look, personally I'd advocate for casting people who actually look like the characters they're portraying if these live-action remakes must be a thing.

But clearly the Hollywood execs don't agree. So this casting doesn't bother me. If anything, I find it hilarious - especially after seeing everyone throw a hissy fit over this. It showcases their hypocrisy, as these are the same people who were all "CHANGING ARIEL'S SKIN COLOR DOESN'T MATTER YOU BIGOTS". On top of that, these people are actually wishing harm on this actress, solely over her skin color.

Let me guess, though. It isn't really racism if colored people oppress and threaten and harm white people, right? By this logic, it's just a matter of ~equity~ that fair-skinned folk are subjected to the same prejudice. For fuck's sake.

Nah, let's just normalize the concept that no one can relate to a character unless said character looks just like them. Let's encourage kids to embrace narcissism and refuse to find commonalities in characters that don't physically resemble them in any way.

Because apparently it doesn't matter that I can't see myself and my mother in Tiana, even though her driven, workaholic underdog story resonates with us. But because we're not black, we're not allowed to feel a kinship. It's inconceivable for a little girl to feel that she, for what she is on the inside, can relate to a Disney Princess that she shares no physical traits with.

Maybe I'm just crazy for believing we should focus more on who we are than what we are. Maybe I'm a monster for discouraging indulgence in narcissistic behavior. Am I a bigot for rolling my eyes every time I hear a cry for "MUH REPRESENTATION"?

I like to think I'm not. But society is so heavily fucked in so many ways these days. So much that I'm actually afraid to post this publicly.

But I shouldn't be afraid to speak my mind when I see bullshit being glorified. So I'm gonna give my piece, come what may.

#I don't even think the live action remakes should exist #I am against them as a concept #and there's not a single one I enjoy #they're symptomatic of disney's creative bankruptcy #not a single one of them add anything to the legacy of their counterparts #but I can't make them not happen so #at the very least I just feel the need to point out the hypocrisy #halle bailey to her credit was much more respectful of the movie she was starring in the remake of #even called ariel her 'absolutely' favorite disney princess #but then proceeded to celebrate all these changes to her character #but like #ariel still had fascinations of the human world in the og #she had that long before she met eric #she didn't just give up her legs for a man goddammit #her father fucking traumatized her by destroying her special place #she felt like she couldn't go back home #cuz she's like 16 y'know and teens be dumb like that #that scene in the og of triton blasting all of ariel's things was legit scary for me as a kid #I totally understand ariel being stupid enough to trust ursula because she felt she had no place to go #that's what I hate about these remakes #the actors/actresses totally muddle the message of the source material #anyway sorry if this offends any of you following me #I'm just sick of the hypocrisy and it being glorified #Youtube

i assumed people hated rachel zegler because she had done something racist or hoophobic or something but it turns out she just had a cringy moment in an interview or two and apparently thats reason enough to bully her online

#the same girls claiming to be feminists will literally attack an actress for being quirky or smthn #its happened soooo many times #actresses are held to an impossibly high standard compared to their male counterparts #also like ppl completely twisting her words in bad faith #she said 'the love was kind of weird in snow white' and everyone is like OH so you hate love? you hate romance?????#like no bitch the romance in snow white WAS weird. like. it was a 14 year old girl being kissed unconsensually by an older dude?#also walt disney was a massive misogynist so u bet that movie has a fuckton of sexist stereotypes #her saying it needs to be updated should not be as controversial as ppl think it is. like. have you watched snow white recently #but honestly remakes are usually bad anyways. especially animation to live action ones. but obv thats not HER fault
