Disney’s live-action remake machine shows no signs of slowing down, with multiple films based on their animated properties on the way. To date, some of these films have seen minor controversies or backlash before their release, often revolving around casting choices such as was seen with the recent “The Little Mermaid”. Others have faced criticisms over changes to the source material as these films often deliver new takes on the material, sometimes making significant alterations in the process. Not a single photo or trailer has been released for Disney’s live-action remake of “Snow White” so far, but it already has become a lightning rod of controversy regarding both those reasons mentioned above. The film stars “West Side Story” breakout Rachel Zegler as Snow White alongside Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. At the same time, the film has removed the Prince Charming character from the story and replaced the seven dwarves of the original film’s title with ‘magical creatures’. The original 1937 film’s director was the late David Hand who worked at Disney through to the 1990s. Now his son, also named David Hand, has spoken with British outlet and says that both his father and Walt Disney would not be happy with all the changes made: “It’s a whole different concept, and I just totally disagree with it, and I know my dad and Walt would also very much disagree with it. It’s a disgrace [that the studio is] trying to do something new with something that was such a great success earlier. Their thoughts are just so radical now. They change the stories, they change the thought process of the characters. … There’s no respect for what Disney did and what my dad did. I think Walt and he would be turning in their graves.” “The Amazing Spider-Man” helmer Marc Webb directs the new “Snow White” which joins multiple other live-action Disney adaptations on the way including “Lilo & Stitch” from Dean Fleischer Camp, “Moana” from Thomas Kail, “Bambi” from Sarah Polley, and “Mufasa: The Lion King” from Barry Jenkins.
