Disney is just determined to lose money. Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot don't get it. Girls and grown women dream of true love. It's not old-fashioned. It's not even exclusive to women. Men dream of having a good wife as well. Don't stand on the shoulders of giants and then take a… pic.twitter.com/GI3M6yQxvf

Black Tea News nails it.
The new Snow White will totally bomb.
Bourgeoisie values give stability.
Amy Wax has it right.
I'm guessing most young women look at the hellscape that is Modern Relationships and think, "True love? Yeah, right. Being a girl boss is much easier to attain!"
Crazy radical tilting at windmills on a doomed, dysfunctional mission: Post #2 of the day
Every sexual species requires a cooperative symbiosis between males and females. This involves complimentary functions, bodies, and roles. It is obvious for primal animals and true for every culture that has lasted longer than two generations.
These are the last days of Rome. Eat, drink, be merry, and have one last orgy that serves ostrich, alligator, dodo, and auroch meat.
There are a few people in recorded history whose dreams of a productive career defined their life. A recent example might be Oppenheimer, whose career defined him and recorded his name in history.
For everyone else, having children that carry on your name and legacy is how they are remembered. For those people, when they are remembered, they are remembered for the love they shared with their friends and family. Their career is but a footnote.
Hardly original to me, but there's no way that with this cast that the magic mirror can honestly tell the stepmother Queen that Snow White is fairer than the Queen is.
Disney is an American tragedy. I don’t know if it means anything, maybe just time of year but I just had to drive to Winter Park down I-95 to I-4- no traffic! I do not recall seeing a single family truckster headed to the parks. There were a few dorm packs going north and south, definitely no vacations. Do they all fly?
Screenplay key to this film. With Greta Gerwig co-screenwriter I predict it will be a success, even without dwarves.
Welcome to the death of satisfaction.
One just has to visit BoxOfficeMojo to see what works, and what doesn't.
What is the problem with "true love?" Is this the bait and switch, where if confronted they will say that they just mean that women shouldn't fantasize that all problems will vanish in one magic moment when they meet that one man---but their real message is that a wonderful committed love just doesn't exist so get on out there in the world and be a GirlBoss?
What ever happened to shareholder lawsuits? I used to get class actions in the mail every week for stuff much less legit than this…
I guess it could be a shift- 80s movies supposedly had boobies and manly romance and stuff because the guy picked the movie. Now that the girls all go together with no guys around…
people dream of true love.. THIS, is The PROBLEM!
society MUST work, to make people STOP being in (and wanting) "true Love"..
The ONLY love that may be allowed, is Love of Big Brother.. ALL ELSE IS THOUGHT CRIME
Can't you realize? that modern industry isn't working to make profits? it's working FOR its stake holders
and WHO are its "stake holders" ?:? Blackrock Incorporated
Blackrock doesn't CARE about making money.. Blackrock already HAS all the money, they want CONTROL
@Another old lawyer
They're interpreting "fairest" to mean social justice. I saw another clip of an interview with them.
Yeah, it's going to bomb.
No Prince Charming saving the day - so does the movie end with her still asleep in a box?
Experiment for Disney to consider (which they won't, of course). No studio film is released without several preview audiences weighing in. Since the responses are anonymous, people tend to be honest. Sometimes re-shoots or re-edits are undertaken after the execs/producers/director read them. In this case, it would be instructive for the studio to play both the original and this remake for test audiences (at different times) and see which does better.
Dysfunctional “Creative-Types” who lack creativity.

I'm thinking a Futurama mashup where Snow White eventually wakes up 1,000 years in the future.
Fairy tales are for adults (in my opinion). They’re what adults think kids should like. Snow White (that voice!) bored me as a kid. And I didn’t read fairy tales. I don’t see little kids reading them these days either.

That was true, back when parents read to their children. Maybe some still do!
But in modern culture, TV is the babysitter. And for people who think "the family is evil" or "parents are the problem," TV and cartoons and the rest of kid world is ripe for indoctrination.
So no, the intended audience for Disney's product is not adults. You're quite mistaken. Disney believes they are a trusted brand. And Disney thinks the parents who crave sleep and/or alone-time will just drop their kids off and leave them in Disney World for a while.
Trust can be lost and baby-sitters can be unemployed.
Considering Snow White is not about love at all but about the dangers and price of Vanity, the comments from these actors just show they have never learned the moral nor even understand what the story moral is.
She's annoying just to look at (Can you say "punchable face" about a woman?). Even more so when she starts talking.
Disney for most of its existence has been at best meh.
Mary Poppins is a jewel, and a few other things are good, but the classic cartoons and all their modern movies, animated and live-action, are not good. Plus, added bonus, so many of their child stars ended up as adults with pretty clear indications of some kind of sexual abuse as a child.
Taking the dump on the giant’s head seems to be the whole point. Nobody would care if these folks wanted to start a new strong-female-led franchise with original characters (e.g. Alien). But the fun isn’t in the uplifting or even in the creating, it’s in the defac(at)ing.
What a dumb way to look at it! Oh, Disney is determined to lose money.
First, I dont give a shit whether disney loses money. I'm not a stockholder. Are you? and if not, why do you care.
Second, Disney is a cash cow, a money machine. They make so much money they can "lose" money on this or that movie and it does NOT matter. Somehow conservatives have a hard time grasping that. You need to look at how many BILLIONS Disney has net income every year.
Third, its almost impossible for Disney to "lose money" on a film. Most of the costs are paying Disney employees salaries. And the Box Office gross is only a portion of what the film makes. They will showing this on TV, selling DV, selling foreign rights, streaming this movie for years and years and years to come. So, 5 years from now they will have made money off it.
The media keeps sticking microphones in front of actors and the actors assume that, "well, if there's a microphone in front of me, it must be because I have something important to say."
The actress who plays Snow White doesn't even seem to know that it's a fairy tale that has been around for a thousand years. She thinks it was written by Disney 90 years ago.
True love
I watched the brief snippet from Snow White, and it inspired a remarkably obscene thought that I would like to share with the world. The bald heads of those dwarfs are remarkably phallic shaped. Note the delicate way she embraces those bald heads and and the tender way she kisses the crown. There's a subtext here that isn't entirely consistent with courtly love....The original Disney film tapped into the power of myth and not the rhetoric of woke.
If you have any diversified mutual funds (inc in 401(k) or IRA), you’re almost certainly a Disney stockholder.
Disney has been having rotten results the last few fiscal quarters. And they don’t know how to snap this losing streak.
It’s not just the woke stuff. It’s the coasting on past successes, while ignoring increasingly hungry and agile competitors. It’s also losing actual talent (John Lassiter) to the competition, and replacing that talent with diversity hires.
Our culture has been having this "debate" for a half-century, at least since Norman Lear sitcoms. There really is no debate. The Left has been winning the whole time because they control the microphone.

In at least one of the many-centuries-old versions the prince cannot rouse her so he rapes her and she awakens 9 months later due to the pain of childbirth, while having twins. Fairy tales aren’t always nice.

Better still, she wakes up as a head submersed in a greenish liquid, like Nixon.
"Fairy tales are for adults (in my opinion)"
The lessons in fairy tales are for adults. And even then, most adults can't grasp them.
Once upon a time, it was understood that the story you were being told had an underlying message and you should listen for it. Now it's laughably ham-fisted lecturing, which any intelligent adult rejects two minutes in.
"But the fun isn’t in the uplifting or even in the creating, it’s in the defac(at)ing."
It's a defining MO of progressivism. It's necessary to tear down the old since if it was left alone, there'd be something to compare to the crap they want to replace it with. And since progressive ideas are almost universally crap, they wouldn't compare favorably.

No kidding. The same thought has occurred to numerous producers of pornography (and at least one Mad Magazine writer).
Hey at almost 80 years of age, and after 57 years of marriage, my wife might suggest that I audition for the role of "Grumpy".
I liked the old version of Snow White. Disney is self-destructing, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of jerks. (That's my Grumpy shining through.)
For those of us old timey Florida folks let me state that as a group we resented and disapproved of what Disney did to the beautiful small city of Orlando. From one of the most lively areas in Florida to the ugly urban sprawl of "destination theme parks' of Central Florida what a long strange bad trip it's been. I hope the fucking rat/mouse chokes on it and has a short painful corporate demise. And they can take Sea World, and Universal right along with them - any inner circle of Hell will do.
"Men dream of having a good wife as well."
"I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. These are my tits."
I'm curious why this tweet prompted Ann to add a tag for "Black Tea News."
"True love" isn't what was said. It was "to blave," which means to "to bluff."
I like Rachel Zegler because she looks like Vanessa Hudgens.
I want to see more of her for the same reason.
Vanessa Hudgens--criminally underused by Hollywood until the makers of Princess Switch figured it out and put her in twice. Then they tripled down and put her in Princess Switch 2 three times.
Unfortunately, that's probably peak Vanessa Hudgens. But I'd like to see a Princess Switch 4 with her and Rachel Zegler just being fed into a cloning machine.
My IRA owns a lot of stock in Disney, which is now worth half as much as two years ago. All because of intentional mismanagement by Disney's executive staff. Where are the shareholder derivative suits?
