Disney’s new “Snow White” remake has turned into a total disaster. The movie, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, bombed at the box office and sparked massive backlash. Critics ripped it apart, calling it bland and forgettable. Even worse, audiences are boycotting it over political drama and woke storytelling.
Bill Maher didn’t hold back, blasting the film as a joke. He called out Disney for pushing agendas instead of good stories. Maher mocked Zegler’s attitude, saying she acted like a “noxious theater kid” who insulted fans. His criticism hit hard, with crowds cheering as he shredded Disney’s poor choices. The movie’s failure shows Hollywood’s disconnect from regular Americans.
The casting caused huge problems. Zegler, a Latina actress, played Snow White despite the character’s name. She trashed the original 1937 cartoon, calling its love story “weird” and the prince a “stalker.” Conservatives slammed Disney for changing classic characters to fit modern politics. Peter Dinklage, an actor with dwarfism, also criticized the film for using CGI dwarves instead of real people, calling it backward and offensive.
Disney’s CGI dwarves looked creepy and fake. Fans called them “nightmare fuel.” Instead of hiring little people, the studio used computer effects, erasing roles that could’ve gone to actors with dwarfism. This move backfired, with critics calling it a lazy and disrespectful choice. Even the movie’s own stars seemed embarrassed by the awkward digital characters.
Rachel Zegler made things worse with her rude comments. She bragged about rewriting Snow White as a “leader” instead of a princess and mocked Trump voters online. Her arrogance turned off families who just wanted a fun fairy tale. Co-star Gal Gadot, who supports Israel, clashed with Zegler’s pro-Palestine views, creating tension behind the scenes. Their real-life drama spilled into the press, making the movie look like a soap opera.
The box office numbers were brutal. “Snow White” earned only $43 million opening weekend—one of Disney’s worst ever. Fans ignored it, and Chinese audiences ranked it seventh. The flop cost $250 million to make, proving that woke messaging doesn’t sell tickets. Even Disney’s die-hard supporters skipped this one.
Disney’s live-action remakes keep failing because they disrespect the originals. Fans want magic, not lectures. Changing classics like “Snow White” into activist stories alienates parents and kids. As Bill Maher said, “Who asked for this?” The answer is clear: nobody. Until Disney listens to audiences, more flops will follow.
This mess should be a wake-up call for Hollywood. Forcing politics into family films drives viewers away. “Snow White” had a rich legacy, but Disney ruined it with bad choices. Traditional values made these stories timeless. Woke twists just make them forgettable. Let’s hope studios learn before another beloved fairy tale gets destroyed.
