LOL: ThatParkPlace.com Reports That Rachel Ziegler's Presence in the Woke Snow White Movie Will be Reduced and "Softened"

How do you replace the lead actress in a movie?

Well, the knuckleheads at the flop factory we know as DEIsney have been wargaming how to reduce the presence of the off-putting, toxic Rachel Ziegler.

Their solution? They're writing in a lot of flashback sequences in which a younger, less hostile and alienating actress places a child Snow White.

They're hoping that if you like the Child Snow White, that will carry over and you'll also like the unlikeable adult Snow White.

The source claims that Disney has hired a young actress to play Snow White as a child. The idea is to cut time out of Zegler's performance, show Snow White as a cute little kid, and soften the character with flashbacks and/or major origin story portion at the beginning of the film. Of course, edits have not begun for these scenes as we believe they're not shot yet, so things could change. That said, if they do go forward with significant cutaways to Snow White as a child, this is a deviation from the original. And, wouldn't you know it, after receiving this information last week, it turns out there are sites reporting that Disney has, indeed, hired a young actress to take the role. And that would mean that they're actively inserting a new childhood-portion of the movie that wasn't originally planned!

The new actress, Emilia Faucher, is cute. Is she cute enough to take the hard edges off of woke blowhard Rachel Ziegler? We'll see.

WDW_Pro says that the "Snow White" which is depicted in the film as it currently stands is of a "socialist revolutionary" leading a political revolution against... well I'm going to assume the Patriarchy, but I don't know. (I think your Expectations about the witch will be Subverted, and she'll be a fellow victim of the Patriarchy.)

Over the weekend, Nelson Peltz began his war to take command of the Bob Iger Company and turn it back into the Walt Disney Company.

"We will seek the support of shareholders for meaningful change in the Board's composition. It is time to 'Restore the Magic' at Disney."
To "restore the magic," Trian Partners called on Disney to target "Netflix-like margins" of 15% to 20%, complete a CEO succession plan and align management pay with performance.
Peltz made an appearance on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Thursday morning immediately after the proxy filing was released and further explained his firm's push for changes at Disney.
"We love Disney and it saddens me that the board didn't welcome me because our goal is just to work with them ... and to help them make the company better," Peltz said on the show.
"This board, from Bob [Iger] to every independent director, has underperformed the S&P on every measure: one year, three years, five years, 10 years."
This is Peltz's second proxy battle with Disney in the past two years. The activist investor told CNBC the board promised him changes last year and then "things got worse," so he can't continue to give them opportunities.

"Activist" doesn't mean here "political activist." It means a shareholder who is not content to be passive: an activist investor wants to change direction of the company.

Peltz also suggested Iger shouldn't have been paid nearly as much as he was in 2023 because company earnings were down, the stock price was down and "everything went bad."
Reports from this week showed the Disney CEO's compensation more than doubled last year to $31.6 million. He was paid a base salary of $865,385, stock awards worth $16.1 million, stock option awards of $10 million, performance-based compensation of $2.1 million and $2.48 million in other compensation.
"I don't understand what this board is doing. I don't know what they're there for other than friends of Bob [Iger]," Peltz said.

The RestoreTheMagic.com website is back up, and leads with DEIsney's woeful stock performance compared to the S&P and to other media companies.

Note the other media companies here are companies DEIsney has specifically chosen to compare itself to.

Trian and Peltz are also hammering the fact that Bob Iger and his handpicked yesmen (and yeswomen!!! Yeswomeon of Color! YOCs!!!) barely own any stock, so of course they are "misaligned with shareholder interests." They keep giving themselves big bonuses, no matter how far the share price falls. What do they care if the price falls another 50%? They're not stupid enough to heavily invest in the shithole company they control.

DEIsney just released Soul into the theaters, which had not previously been in the theaters due to covid, but instead premiered on DEIsney Plus. DEIsney wanted to prove they still had the magic, and expected the film would be appreciated by audiences during this slow January.

It made... a little more than half a million dollars.

DEIsney had hoped it would make $2 million.

Soul, a feature-length animated film starring a black character, was released into 1,350 theaters over the Martin Luther King Jr. four-day holiday weekend and grossed exactly -- get ready to laugh -- $557,000.
That’s about 25 percent of the projected two million, which makes my heart sing.
On Friday, Soul grossed a measly $99 per theater.

By the way, the Restore the Magic twitter account got a big boost from Elon Musk:

Brutal track record. Shareholders have been incredibly poorly served by the @Disney board!

WB is re-releasing Tenet the week before Dune 2.

That will be interesting to see as a comparison to Soul's performance.

Re-releases seem to largely be a thing of the past, but Tenet beating Soul would be an embarrassment.

8 Funny enough, except for a total copout ending (that dropped the movie from an A to a B for me), I liked Soul.

It's about the only Disney animated I have liked in the 2020s era - everything else has been weak to horrid (and quite a few I've passed on, but Covid stuck homeness was real, so Soul was viewed at that holiday season)...

48 No matter what happens, Disney won't recover in time to complete against AI.

Which is to say, in 3 years, AI movies will be indistinguishable or possibly superior to early Pixar movies.

As an animation powerhouse, Disney is dead.

Their stock will never recover the highs it had.

49 Let's remember, as well, it looks like they replaced all of their ~~dwarves~~ magical creatures with CGI dwarves.

This is going to be another movie so expensive it needs to make Avatar money to make a profit.

Some of these live action remakes have made a billion dollars (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast), but it's been a little while. The most recent, The Little Mermaid, made $560 million off of a movie that was probably, at least, $300 million to make (plus marketing). Considering the theaters' takes, that movie probably lost $100 million.

The whole live action remake thing is no longer the sure bet it once was.

Their solution? They're writing in a lot of flashback sequences in which a younger, less hostile and alienating actress places a child Snow White.

This is similar to the Captain Marvel to Marvels solution. Add more leads to the film, so the original toxic lead still gets to PRETEND to be the lead (and not bitch too much) while hopefully diluting her negative impact on the audience and box office.

As with The Marvels, I don't think it will save the film. No normal family trusts Disney anymore, and the Wokies will view this as a betrayal of important progressive values. They're adding a white bitch to the movie to dilute the part of a strong Latina!?!?!

Maleficent's sequel made almost half a billion dollars. The first was the remake of Sleeping Beauty from the bad girl's perspective (she was bad because a man cut off her wings...man bad). It's budget wasn't terribly high, so it might have broken even, probably why there wasn't a third.

Angel studios is about to find out

I still have somewhere around here an old binder of ancient (base) fairy tales from a class I had a million years ago ... they are incredibly interesting.

any one of them would make a really good movie

OR you could even do Hans Christian Anderson, but don't mess with the endings (Disney you asshats!) .. actually Pixar did a nice job with The Little Match Girl ages ago and didn't change it.

Oh, there were reasons. They were that people paid money to see them and they made the company billions of dollars over the past decade.

Anyone remember what the first one was? Kenneth Branaugh's Cinderella.

Anyway, there were no ARTISTIC reasons. Even the changes end up being half-assed and poor excuses to remaking something.

I'm not opposed to remakes in general (The Departed > Infernal Affairs), but there does need to be something materially different about the new one, and I don't think live action of the same stuff is reason enough.

148 You know, I'm coming around to an idea - DEI doesn't cause companies to fail, the embrace of DEI is a symptom of the fact they are already failing. Because with DEI, when your film loses money, you can still chalk it up to a DEI win or blame someone else (toxic fans). You get to keep right on failing. DEI is a way for mediocrities to keep being mediocrities to subvert merit-based pay and performance expectations.

Hollywood is positively starved for good directors and writer. Does someone actually think that they give a rat's ass whether they are minorities or women?

Sheesh- I watched John Singleton movies in the 1980s. He wrote and directed Boyz in the Hood, and was nominated for an Oscar, at the age of 24. There was no issue with minority directors' writers or actors then, 35 years ago. But about five years ago this became a huge issue - it's idiotic.

Neither track has made much progress. Maybe, like last time, the guy running this will order in some pizzas, and I can take a few slices, or an entire box, home with me.

That's why Communism works! We all become part of the government, so we all work together to make it work! The system is only at risk of collapse because you MAGAts keep trying to tear it down. We can always tax the rich more or print more money to pay everyone, so that's not an issue.

229 One of the secondary unintended consequences I have been bitching about since the 90s and the Greenspan Put days is that all the cash pumping into the economy results in a weird distortion.

Most exec compensation is determined by performance. This is done in two ways, first with metrics or goals that result in bonuses of cash or options, second in the options themselves. If share price goes down, they are worthless. If the exec does not deliver for the owners of the company - the shareholders - they get worthless options. They generally have to be held for a certain number of years to vest, so share price has to rise long term, not just a bump for a couple quarters.

But with constant QE, shares always go up! Sounds great but it cuts the downside off of bad performance. Execs negotiate the metrics that trigger options and so that is easily manipulated by old boys club of back scratching to make sure the metrics are always met, but options are different.
(Of course, this is more complicated in most cases but I am describing a general problem)

I think this lack of downside has had a really bad effect on a lot of companies.

324 Insty: The Republican National Committee* moved this week to upend the party's own nominating process that would declare Trump "our presumptive nominee," effectively short-circuiting the remaining 40-plus primaries and caucuses still to be held.

Really?

That's one way to make the 'remove from ballot' stuff pointless.

325 If Predator came out today, people would notice that it has Captain Planet levels of racial diversity. Undiverse when it comes to bicep gainzzz, so there's that. People will like stuff or hate stuff, and explain why afterward.

Too much testosterone, DEI fail big time. Enjoyable movie, super DEI fail. Nobody felt lectured by Predator.

326 The Feds position on Texas is totally, obviously indefensible. I'll wager they expected Abbott to fold early on. They know the publicity on this is deadly for them. Which means they slink away from this skirmish, or because they're self-righteous maniacs who cannot suffer the perceived ignominy at the hands of redneck racist republicans, ratchet everything up to crisis level because that's always worked for them before.

The Deep State and Elites do a lot of this expecting the other side to fold. Witness the latest shooting war in Aden. Dropped some bombs. Other side doesn't surrender. What next? well, nothing besides drop more bombs. Shipping still blocked.

327 Cheese and crackers Soul sucked. My family tried to watch it when it came out on Disney plus...it was so boring the kids started reading.

That's inciting violence. Tsk Tsk

329 I was always sorely disappointed when The Magical World of Disney came on tv, and -- expecting Pinocchio or Peter Pan or some other famous animated movie, they'd run The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes or one of those insipid Witch Mountain movies. Total gyp.

Yeah, my childhood was when Disney was crappy, and they came out of it when I didn't pay attention and had all these smashes. Now that I've vaguely paying attention again, they are crappy again.

333 For those not following Disney, they LIE. They are the master of bait and switch. If there is a choice between good and evil, they go pervert every time.
