Son of unique Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs director says Walt Disney can be handing over his grave over the upcoming remake.
The upcoming remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is simply one of many many live-action diversifications Disney has manufactured from their animated classics, however this one appears to be hitting a nerve.
While talking with The Telegraph, David Hale Hand, son of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs supervising director David Dodd Hand, could be very a lot against the remake. “I mean, 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,” Hand stated. “There’s no respect for what Disney did and what my dad did… I believe Walt and he can be turning of their graves.“
As Disney’s very first animated characteristic movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs holds a particular place within the hearts of Disney followers. It’s not like there haven’t been live-action films based mostly on the unique fairy story earlier than, however from the casting of Rachel Zegler as Snow White to the removal of just about all of the dwarf characters, it appears like there was a backlash towards this remake since day one. Hand added that it’s a “disgrace” that Disney is “making an attempt to do one thing new with one thing that was such an awesome success earlier… Their ideas are simply so radical now. They change the tales, they alter the thought technique of the characters. They’re making up new woke issues and I’m simply not into any of that. I discover it fairly frankly a bit insulting [what] they could have finished with a few of these basic movies.“
David Hale Hand stated that as a substitute of remaking the outdated tales, Disney needs to be creating new ones. “[Disney] shouldn’t be taking a classic and rewriting it in their own image,” he stated. “Pick on one thing else… create new characters, if you happen to’re gonna do that, however don’t destroy or attempt to destroy one thing that may be a basic and is a wonderful piece.“
The Snow White remake stars Rachel Zegler within the title position, alongside Gal Gadot because the Evil Queen, Ansu Kabia because the Huntsman, and Andrew Burnap as Jonathan, a brand new character created for the movie. Snow White will hit theaters on March 22, 2024.
