Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Another Disney Woke Disaster Is Brewing as Bratty, Snotty Star of Snow White Can't Stop Ripping the Original ClassicThe film was called "Walt's Folly" before its release because it was widely believed that the public would never pay to see a full-length animation. At most, they'd appreciate the cartoon shorts that ran before real movies. But Walt Disney made Snow White anyway -- and Snow White made Walt Disney. Given that it's the 100th anniversary of the founding of Walt Disney studios, you'd think they'd pay attention to their "talent" bad-mouthing Walt Disney's big first triumph. But apparently Woke Disney World is all about tearing down the golden past to make way for a shit future, because they sent this perfect little idiot out into the world to talk about how much she hated Snow White and how Prince Charming was a "stalker." And now branding experts are predicting it'll cost the ill-favored movie at the box office.EXCLUSIVE: Branding experts warn Rachel Zegler backlash could RUIN Disney's big budget Snow White remake and predict executives will be having 'crisis talks' in order to win back fans ahead of 2024 release Rachel Zegler's comments about the upcoming live action Snow White remake could have 'a huge impact on ticket sales,' branding experts have warned. The 22-year-old actress has received plenty of backlash after she admitted that she 'hated' the original 1937 movie and branded the storyline 'weird,' while referring to the Prince character as a 'stalker.' The big budget Disney movie is scheduled for release in March 2024 and now it has been predicted that executives will be 'having crisis talks' in order to do some serious damage limitation following the negative response to Rachel's stance. ... Speaking to DailyMail.com, branding expert Carla Speight said: 'Whilst it's been clear that the original Disney Princess films hold old values, Disney have fallen for the trap of going to the opposite extreme to inflict strong and loaded messaging on the viewers - believing that's empowerment. 'There's a phenomenon called "political lesbianism." That's a situation where a heterosexual woman becomes so filled with feminist zeal, and political hatred of men, that she actually becomes a lesbian despite not actually being attracted to women. Her lesbianism is a political act, not a sexual or romantic one. I mention that because for the past ten or twelve years there has been a consistent stream of propaganda films in which "women don't need no men." Zegler thinks this film is edgy and daring to declare that a woman doesn't need nothin' from men except a sharp "Yes ma'am"? As Critical Drinker notes (video linked below), that might have been "edgy" in 2014. Now it's just rote. Literally every girl power movie tells girls to stop seeking romantic partnerships with men. Combine this with Hollywood's noted anti-natalism -- the industry seems determined to stop the birth of its future potential customers. The message that "women don't need no men" is especially present in revisionist fairy tale stories. There was a live action movie a couple of years ago about a Badass Girlboss Princess who don't need no knight to save her. This trope is now so common it is mocked as a tired, stale cliche: "This princess (snaps fingers) saves herself!" Yes, they all do now, don't they? What's different about this particular girlboss political lesbian character? Disney story consultants: What would you say you do here? [She further admitted] in a separate interview that she was 'terrified' when she went on a Snow White ride at Disney World. 'I was scared of the original version. I think I watched it once and never picked it up again. I'm being so serious,' she claimed. 'I watched it once, and then I went on the ride in Disney World, which was called Snow White's Scary Adventures. Doesn't sound like something a little kid would like. I was terrified of it, never revisited Snow White again.'After that, she went on to the late night show of Disney-owned propaganda mouthpiece Jimmy Kimmel, and contradicted everything she had said previously, claiming she's a big fan of the original. She's also playing the Victim Card. After TikTok and Twitter blew up with a negative response, Rachel seemingly responded to the backlash and tweeted on Friday, August 11: 'I hope the world becomes kinder.' A few hours later, she added: 'I love you very much. Forever and ever. Remember to be kind. Treat each other with patience and empathy. Remember that you are loved unconditionally, no matter your mistakes, no matter your misunderstandings. You deserve it. You deserve love. You deserve to live without fear.' When one fan replied and asked: 'Are you also just like extremely exhausted all the time?' Rachel responded and said: 'I am so exhausted. I think it's over for me tbh.' Despite crying about "hate" and "fear" now, Rachel Zegler has previously been a vigorous proponent of #cancelling JK Rowling and former Disney star Gina Carano:
And, in case you've forgotten: Disney decided it was insensitive to cast dwarfs as dwarfs, and made all the "dwarfs" normal-height people, except for one. So they denied a paycheck to actors who don't usually get a lot of work, in the name of wokeness. And pictures of this gang of woke misfits circulated online. Disney lied and claimed these weren't pictures from the movie. They were. In some cases, stand-ins were wearing the awful costumes, rather than the actors themselves, but these pictures were right from the set of the movie. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

"The film was called "Walt's Folly" before its release because it was widely believed that the public would never pay to see a full-length animation. At most, they'd appreciate the cartoon shorts that ran before real movies."
Snow White had an electric effect on cinema when it was released in 1937. I read descriptions of people waiting on line to see the movie, and it reminded me of the reception that Star Wars received in 1977. Come to think of it, New Snow White is getting the same reception that New Star Wars movies are getting today. Posted by: Darrell Harris at August 21, 2023 04:22 PM (/iWhV) 35

Alright, so I have some problems with the excerpted article.
1. It calls Zegler a "big name star". BWAHAHAHA! I don't think it's supposed to be a joke. 2. There's no math. I really think that most advertising is unsupported by much in the way of actual rigorous studies in terms of impacts. I'm seeing something similar now with people pulling out a study saying that the SAG strike, where actors aren't promoting films, is costing them box office, namely that the new TMNT movie opened 15% lower than it could have. That feels statistically insignificant (it's not 5%, but we're not that far off, especially considering the squishy nature of math in marketing) while arguing up a counterfactual. The idea that Seth Rogan appearing on Kimmel would have led to an extra $12 million or so seems...specious. I mean, have you heard that guy? He sounds like a fucking braindead stoner (because he is). How does his presence help the marketing?

Boy that PR expert from the Daily Mail article and I have vastly different ideas of what a "big name star" is. Zegler has two credits to her name so far (not counting upcoming stuff like Snow White) and neither movie was considered a box office success. Maybe her debut role shouldn't have been the female lead--she could have watched someone else do the PR work and learned from experience.

Posted by: Darrell Harris at August 21, 2023 04:22 PM (/iWhV) ++++ Disney's brand is increasingly poison. Even worse than it was for Bud Light, though, is that it appears to be more apathy and expectation of poor quality and offensive treatment of the material. There is no more controversy, there's just an expectation that it will be shit. That is extremely dangerous for the company.

Afternoon.
Zegler points out Walt's Snow White is 86 years old and completely misses a simple fact. People still watch and appreciate Walt's Snow White 86 years after its premier. People will likely continue to enjoy it for another 86 years. What are the odds anyone remembers Snow Woke 86 seconds after they leave the theater?

There's a phenomenon called "political lesbianism." That's a situation where a heterosexual woman becomes so filled with feminist zeal, and political hatred of men, that she actually becomes a lesbian despite not actually being attracted to women. Her lesbianism is a political act, not a sexual or romantic one.

I have a special place in my heart for the original movie as is was the first movie my daughter saw at age 3 along with her father and myself. To watch her wide-eyed innocence while watching, learning the words and songs was great. Of course, the other 900 times she had us put it on after that were not so enchanting but still special.

She debuted in film as Maria in Spielberg's West Side Story, which flopped. I don't know whether it was lousy or whether it just didn't find an audience, but it flopped. Her next role was the title character in the greatest Disney legacy film ever, Snow White. Before she had wrapped filming on that one, she had gotten a starring role in the Hunger Games prequel. All this happened before she was 22. People stuck microphones in her face and she held forth on what 1937 was like. How any content that's 85 years old is severely out of date. They should have managed her, but -- I think the creatives and execs at Disney AGREE with her. They're going into panic mode because, like the geniuses at Annheuser Busch, this backlash was entirely... Unexpected.

114 I have a special place in my heart for the original movie as is was the first movie my daughter saw at age 3 along with her father and myself. To watch her wide-eyed innocence while watching, learning the words and songs was great. Of course, the other 900 times she had us put it on after that were not so enchanting but still special.

I think it's important to remember that this girl (and I know nothing about her) is likely a literal idiot. Like most people in Hollywood. Posted by: Harry Paratestes ++++++++++++ As an indication, she dissed Snow White because it was made in (snicker) 1937, a year, our little scholar asserts, that was not good for female empowerment in movies. Check out female film roles in 1937. Barbara Stanwyck as Stella Dallas. Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth. Katherine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers in Stage Door. The era of Mae West, Carole Lombard, and the last of Jean Harlow. I could go on. The girl simply knows nothing. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at August 21, 2023 04:40 PM (lCaJd) 171

I gotta say.
I saw The Lion King with my daughter years ago, and I thought it was way too woke. (I don't remember why, it just was. This was before the term was coined but it was Lefty with Lefty messages.) So from there on I screened her movies and we would only watch the older disney. Cinderella was her favorite and she would make me act it out over and over (I was always the secondary role - the Donkey, the pumpkin, the mice,... but I did get to be Prince Charming for a bit.) We also did Snow White. Her second favorite was Barber of Seville. Disney has been on this Woke arc for a long long time.

Disney marketing and PR are fairly careful. I guarantee that she was given talking points. She elaborated on them, of course (it sounds natural), but you can be sure was on-theme with how she was coached, even if she was less tactful than they'd have liked.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at August 21, 2023 04:37 PM (t0OGg) Yeah, she was probably supposed to "connect to the next generation" or something. I don't know. This is all annoying, frankly. There's a very weird phenomenon in my generation (millennials) where I have friends, who are well in to their 30's, who have no children but still spend every vacation they have at Disney World, or on Disney cruises, or doing Disney stuff. Like married couples putting on mickey mouse ears and taking selfies in the magic kingdom. It's fucking weird. Anyways, I don't know where I'm going with this other than Disney should shut the fuck up and continue making non offensive silly kids movies, and should instruct all of their employees to shut the fuck up as well.

This whole problem was entirely created by Disney. But WTF do they think is happening out here in the real world?
Completely untrue: "if they were written today would have very different nuances and narratives." No, they wouldn't. Fairy tales relate to human nature, and human nature is nearly immutable. Girls are scared of growing up, scared of falling in love, etc., etc. The only thing that will save Rachel is a long couple of conversations with Jordan Peterson about the meaning and purpose of myth. This new political meaning slapped onto every story is so shallow and so deeply stupid and destructive. Posted by: PJ at August 21, 2023 04:43 PM (G1dq6) 199
I thought "fair" in the sense of the movie just meant pretty, not necessarily white skinned. The Evil Queen had been beautiful, but her ugly heart was starting to show on the outside, making her not so lovely. Snow's heart was good, thus enhancing any natural beauty she had. I'm probably wrong, but that was my take Posted by: Moki +++++++++++++ In the original story, Snow White's mother wished for a daughter with skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair as black as her window frame. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at August 21, 2023 04:43 PM (lCaJd) 200
Gal Gadot peaked in the original Wonder Woman.
I think she has decided she doesn't want to be known as another pretty face and is walking away from her beauty. She's just kind of eh in the Heart of Stone movie on Netflix. And her acting also just eh. And she is a producer on the movie so she wanted it that way. Posted by: blaster at August 21, 2023 04:43 PM (dWjpk) 201

Posted by: ballistic at August 21, 2023 04:41 PM (oXNqT) I think that's some of it, but I also think some of it is the legions of purple haired they/thems on twitter and elsewhere screaming "YOU NEED TO USE YOUR PLATFORM TO SUPPORT [x]!!!" and if you don't, you get the gina whatever treatment. I have a friend who has an imdb page. Like he has a real job, too, but he's done some commercials and played a few minor roles in movies. He's a SAG member. The pressure HE gets to "use his platform for good" is a lot. And like... again, no one would recognize his name. I don't even think he has a twitter. So imagine the pressure on these dumb 22 year olds. "THERE ARE PEOPLE LITERALLY TRYING TO GENOCIDE TRANS PEOPLE! YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP TO SAVE OUR LIVES".

It's one thing that there is such a cultural phenomenon as "political lesbianism" (forget which second wave feminist quipped 'feminism is the theory, lesbianism is the practice'), but couldn't these edgy takes be put forward by people with a bit more intellectual wattage?
It seems like we get these false ideological takes but dumbed waaayyy down by someone who read the Cliffs Notes version of the theory and who is therefore more interested in concealing her low intellectual horsepower by being ever more obnoxious.

"big budget remake".
Perhaps that's their problem, digging a 500m dollar hole for every turd they produce. I count 0 explosions or car chase scenes in snow white, and the 7 homeless xeyselves from Portland couldn't have cost very much. Is it all the CGI then? Wasn't CGI supposed to be cheaper than actually doing stuff? Or maybe they felt the need for yet another 150m marketing campaign for one of the most well known classics of all time.

The movie's excuse is that it's not about Beauty, it's about being the most "Fair and Just Ruler".
----- So, assuming they're following the general story arc of the original... The Queen is the most "fair and just" person in all the land, until Snow White comes along, and then the Queen - now the second most "fair and just" person out of everyone in the country - immediately decides to murder her with a poisoned apple.

From DIS's recent 10-Q:
Accordingly, we recorded charges of $2.4 billion in the quarter ended July 1, 2023 (Content Impairment Charge), of which $2.0 billion was related to the write-off of produced content and $0.4 billion was related to the termination of the license agreements. A big bath on existing content created a bottom line loss for the quarter. Posted by: Ignoramus at August 21, 2023 05:13 PM (RqMSv) 394

Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at August 21, 2023 05:03 PM (t/2Uw) There is an argument that boys and girls play much differently, boys get into characters, learn everything about the "world" the characters exist in, and try to stay in character when playing in that "world" Girls try to change the character into things they want to do, and have internalized. This is supposed to be the difference between "women's" handling of fiction and stories, and men's. It is like boys want to immerse themselves in baseball stats and live them every day, and girls want to change the sport into volleyball and have long time outs and have time for shopping for neat uniforms.

I thought "fair" in the sense of the movie just meant pretty, not necessarily white skinned. The Evil Queen had been beautiful, but her ugly heart was starting to show on the outside, making her not so lovely. Snow's heart was good, thus enhancing any natural beauty she had.
I'm probably wrong, but that was my take Posted by: Moki at August 21, 2023 04:35 PM (JrN/x) One might look in a dictionary of the rough time of original publication, and find that Fair was defined as: 1) Beautiful, elegant of feature, Handsome (Shakespeare) 2) Not Black, Not Brown, white in the complexion (Hale) 3) Pleasing to the eye (SHakespeare) 4) Clear; Pure (Clarendon) and then around 8, you find "Equal; Just" (Clarendon) which is how she seems to think it should be used as if she was a common fishmonger in the muddy markets on the wharf ( A dictionary of the English Language; Samuel Johnson) Posted by: JD at August 21, 2023 05:23 PM (71QBd) 427

Cinderfella is a non-binary, sex-addicted hobo who tries out to become a spokesmodel for some light beer company, but her evil stepsisters release her confidential medical information and psychiatric reports to the Epoch Times thus everyone learns about her attraction to cantaloupe. The driverless Pumpkin carriage provided by Tesla malfunctions and starts a fire killing the cloned mice/horses. The ending goes out of control when the other ball attendees pour pigs blood on Cinderfella and instead of freaking out..."he" gets sexually aroused. It's a winner!!!!

Disney knew what they ere getting in to, back when she was doing West Side story she'd continuously open her mouth and show that she's racist as hell.
She's what happen when a late night 6, who was the star of her high school theater troupe, starts to think she's queen shit of f*ck mountain because she's getting a little attention. She also probably knows that being a woke scold is much more profitable than actually being talented. Lots of these actors are going to get a rude awakening if Trump wins and these studios realize they need to change gears. Posted by: Rbastid at August 21, 2023 08:28 PM (IhSrr) 441
441: even if whoever the non-Statist nominee loses 538-0, the studios are in for a rude awakening. The public is rejecting this nonsense left right and center. If they go ahead with Snow White in live action it will be lucky to get $50m in a theatrical run.
